  1. Hardly been payed in 20 years. Sometimes and more so In recent times but I just love to play and perform. The way I see it us that some people will do karaoke or queue for hours to embarrass themselves at some talent show or similar once and talk about it for years, whereas we get to do the things that many people can only dream of. For that I think I'm lucky, over the years I've had great times with great Mates and have great stories to tell. Much better than staying in and watching Telly anyway. It's not always easy and I'd love to have been paid more, but I'm thankful for every moment.
    Infact recently a fledgling covers band I'm in as they start were offered some gigs but the keys and guitard who already only play for money balked as the split would've been pretty thin. So I offered to Play for free, cause I do it for the rush and the experience, Not for thirty quid or whatever. Ill say though that Since having the little 'un though I'm rather more choosy with things that would eat family time.

  2. Aw cheers dude. A guy in my old town would route for a musician humbucker for thirty quid but I rarely get back to Leicester now. It wouldn't be under the guard though. I need a bridge pickup, that's why I can't do p basses. Basses without bridge pickups make NO sense to me! :-)

  3. Hah hah. £45 towards something more useful than a bass that I probably won't play! I can't play p basses for the life of me! A few graphic novels, some jeans, a day out etc (except round my knees with a pick, and I don't really have call for that) Like I say. It can stay or go I'm not fussed :)

  4. Am i the first i wonder?
    Im purely selling cause its just gonna sit there looking cool. I got a good one, it plays well, is set up well, sounds great, has no issues. It has adhesive block marker inlays and the stripes in the pic will be removed before sale, they dont fit properly anyway, they were offcuts!
    NO delivery im afraid folks, its £45 collected from me here in Cheltenham. :-D
    Not too bothered if it stays or goes tbh! Let me know if you're interested.



    and NO the others arent for sale lol;-)

  5. Hey all. I know I sold one of these not long ago and bought this one but since then ive passed my driving test, so a hand portable amp is less nessecary! And i really need a laptop. Hence a tentative feeler for this.
    It's about two months old, only left the house once, only used once. The rest of the time it's been sat in my room in it's roqsolid cover.
    This Is the midget T version and the cover would be included. As it's so new and provided with a good quality cover (blue piping) I'm going to ask the same as I did the last midget t.
    Which is £450. Inc cover. By cheque or paypal gift or cash on Collection much preferred. Delivery maybe but at my convenience as I'd have to find the time to get it packed and sorted. I can't deliver myself etc cause I've only been driving a month and I'm really not up to motorways etc yet lol!


    Check the Barefaced website for detailed specs. But it's light enough to carry around in one hand for a long way. And then loud enough to kill everyone when you get there! Ive filled a large pub, unmic'd with one of these against acoustic (mic'd) electric, keys and drums plus three vocals. And it doesn't break a sweat!
    Pm me if you might be interested or if you can recommend an excellent laptop up to £500! I don't know computermabobs at all!!

  6. It stands for Formerly k(N) own as Altus. Tenous!! It's because it was introduced as the Altus bass and then they got done over the name (I forget by whom) and had to change it quick. Hence the slightly shoddy FNA. Should be fkaa!
    I gigged the heck out of an FNA jazzman for years and I'd love to buy this but I'm too skint! But I do regret selling it. Fantastic basses. If the taxman gives me money and this is still here then hmmmmm

  7. Doesn't look as bad as flying into a bass solo section that starts at the top of the neck In a very big venue cause the lighting lady chose that moment to make it go dark for just a smidge too long! Hence the lights for those either way too dark, or simply too blinded by stage lights moments. :)

  8. Another HUGE recommendation for these strings from me. I've used them for years with no complaints and found I prefer them to branded roto's. They seem to last longer! Wish they weren't quite so long, although they have got shorter than they were. Very classy indeed for the price, and I've used them on some VERY big stages. When I can't afford elixirs these are my next choice.
