Great tune, written by Mike Nesmith from The Monkees. Also has Bernie Leadon (The Eagles) on guitar too. -

Must admit, I don't think I'd heard this before seeing it in the Mercedes advert. Just superb. -
Unashamed plug for a mixer I've just put up for sale on here. Couple this with a pair of active cabs with the healthy remainder of your budget and you'll have a cracking set up!

Selling my Soundcraft mixer. It's housed in an ABS flight case, with detachable lid and a tilt mounting to place the mixer in the optimum position. Both the mixer and the flight case are in immaculate / virtually new condition. Had little use before lockdown, and since then stored in my warm studio.

This looks like the deal to beat I reckon - great value for money.
-
Got to be worth trying to sell them yourself first. If the basses fetch your top estimations then (@15% commission say) you could potentially save over £400. Leaves you room for a bit of haggling and still being way in front compared with selling via a shop. Good luck!

Seen a few adverts saying the same. Case and postage can be factored into the deal. Let’s face it, if the bass is towards the upper end of the market, then surely people would travel to buy it anyway? I’ve bought stuff from 100 miles + away from where I live. Apply that to where you are and you have a massive catchment area for lots of potential buyers. Worth a try on here as well as the usual places (FB marketplace , Gumtree etc) and with it being cash on collection then it minimises any risk of non payment or damage by couriers etc. Also leaves you with all the proceeds....£££ 😀

Absolutely this ^^^^ Due to powered cabs being so popular, good powered mixer amps can be picked up for little money s/h, and the Yamaha EMX stuff is brilliant. I have an EMX512SC, 500 watts x2 , 8 channels and lots of features. Can be found for around £150 ish s/h, add a couple of decent passive cabs (also cheap s/h) and you’re good to go, with cash to spare for a monitor for your singist too. 😀

Sky Arts. Just starting now - Concert for George. Brilliant film of all star tribute to George Harrison. -

Nice one, cheers. Also following this at 17.45 is ‘Eric Clapton:Live in California’. -
How about ‘Life’ by Des’ree? ”I don’t want to see a ghost, it’s the sight that I fear most, I’d rather have a piece of toast, watch the evening news.”

Washburn AB20 Acoustic Save (fingers crossed)
casapete replied to Andyjr1515's topic in Repairs and Technical
Fabulous thread so far, following with interest. Incidentally I’ve owned an AB20 for 25 years plus. Used it on hundreds of gigs in all conditions and never once had to adjust the truss rod at all! Great basses, very underrated IMHO. -
Got this with a 5 string set of Warwick Red Bronzewounds - was cheaper buying the 5 string set even though I only use a 4 string electro acoustic! Knowing how unpopular bronzewound strings seem to be on here, I wouldn't imagine people will be fighting over this, but thought I'd give it a go. Now taken, cheers!

What's your favourite hardware colour?
casapete replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Much prefer the appearance of chrome or nickel, irrespective of bass colour really. Black can be okay but not if it makes the bass look too rock/metal.Can’t stand gold, either to look at or especially when it tarnishes which it seems to do quite readily. I don’t like gold finishes on anything really though - watches and jewellery etc. Somehow looks a bit cheap/tacky to me. -
Paul McCartney had a cameo in one of the more recent Pirates of the Caribbean films. Think he played Jack Sparrow’s uncle and presumably brother of Keith Richards character. ☠️

Some VERY good news at last - live music back by the Spring?
casapete replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Cheers Al. I've been in an ELO tribute band for nearly 10 years. Playing is my only income, so can't wait to get back doing it. https://www.elotribute.com/media.php -
Nice guitar Andy, obviously meant for you! I tried one a while ago and was well impressed. Always fancied one of the Yammy BEX4 basses too. Begs the question - have Yamaha ever made any bad instruments?

Some VERY good news at last - live music back by the Spring?
casapete replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
My band has got 33 gigs booked in for 2021, starting early July, with more to hopefully be added. Also 17 confirmed for 2022 so far. Most of our gigs are in theatres, so good to know that they are confident in committing to book dates. Let’s just hope people don’t abuse the gradual relaxation of lockdown rules and prevent it all from being able to happen. 🙂 -
I quite like it,, reminds me of the Paul Anka 2005 album ‘Rock Swings’ where he did a lot of covers in a similar style. 😎
