Doh it has a reserve! Perhaps not so much of a bargain after all.

Might go for this...

Last day BUMP - ends at stupid o'clock tonight! (might get some reckless drunken bidding - so get yours in early!)

Wow, cheap!

Instant payment, good comms. Enjoy playing with your balls... erm, your [i]bass[/i]balls... Cheers. Theo.

I'm selling a Russian Bassballs on the for sale section of this website, you'd need to buy the relevant power cable or fix the wiring to the battery clip. Still; cheap at £25 delivered!

I do every week and have never ever regretted it. Being in a covers band with such a diverse range of styles has made me a better musician. Having the chance to play reggae along with blues and rock has meant I am a more rounded player IMHO than if I'd limited myself. I think it's dangerous to limit yourself musically, take every opportunity going. However if it's an originals band with one distinct style of play that didn't tickle my pickle I don't think I'd bother. I like the diversity and, more importantly, at gigs the musical dynamics possible being in an eclectic covers band. We can cut and change as and when depending on crowd reaction. Little stolid? Try 'Dreadlock Holiday' by 10cc. Little more morose? Play 'Stir It Up'. Up for a laugh? 'Parklife' with crowd interaction is called upon! Playing at a reknowned 'musicians' venue? Whack out the Gary Moore and Cream. We always try and introduce new tracks every so often (for our sake more than the punters'!) and one which has gone down particularly well in recent weeks is Paolo Nutini's pencil full of lead - again, not a song I would personally choose to listen to but played in our own style it's a GREAT pub track, fun and bouncy! By my reckoning putting yourself out of your comfort zone is the only way to truly advance yourself as a musician.

When I was 17 I went into the Bass Cellar (Denmark St.) very willing and eager to try a musicman bass but they refused to let me without seeing the money (of which, of course, I hadn't got - but I still asked politely). I was directed to a second hand woefully set up SUB which put me off the midrange stuff for years until I was able to spend my student loan on my (albeit soon not to be) SR5, when I figured out that the bass just wasn't for me. Now I have my Schecter Custom 5 which is perfect for my needs and set me back a *fraction* of the SR5, which is being moved on to fund a couple of new pieces of kit! If only the bass cellar hadn't been so pompous I would perhaps have been able to discern which instrument was best earlier. As such I refuse to go there; Basschat's cheaper with a wider range anyway
