    since 1/3 of my trio (Palmgrease) retired to Ireland recently I've decided I want to put a duo together. I need a jazz guitarist that can happily knock out tunes from the real book, play some Charlie Parker heads in unison with me on bass - impress the audience (as if). Perform favorites like Autumn Leaves, All the things you are,other well know standards. Some sambas, some bossa : One Note Samba, Ipanema etc We'd be sharing solos, swapping fours lot of improv and thoroughly enjoying ourselves Two players means all kinds of gigs would be available, that regular bands couldn't do. Small bars, restaurants, even old folk homes. It would be a great way to advance your playing skills & repertoire. So.....If you know anyone who might like to get involved please put them in touch. only guitarists between the ages of 18 to 95 need apply (give or take) Shonks Live Palmgrease trio at the bottom of the page on this link: https://soundcloud.com/palmgrease

    cant find any feedback for Mike so allow me to be the 1st: i put up a post in 'Wanted' for some black tape wounds' and Mike offered some up. He let me know, agreed a price, I paypaled him with a friends and family gift and two days later they're are on my bass and I'm a happy plonker. Easy deal, ..lovely Shonks

    2X18 feedback

    Shonks replied to bigd1's topic in Feedback

    I just bought Will's Markbass Compressore from the BC marketplace. We don't know each other, & live at opposite ends of the UK but as usual this site instills a camaraderie and trust in one another that so far has always been a positive experience. After many years hanging here and buying and selling stuff on BC I've had nothing but great deals and met some great pals. I'm now recommending 2x18 (Will) as a cool and trustworthy bloke. Great pedal, good price, sent quickly, instant coms. Buy and sell anything with him, you're going to be happy!!

    12" speaker ... sold..!! 1x15 loaded cab still available [attachment=247351:$_86.JPG] [attachment=247294:$_86 (3).JPG] [attachment=247293:$_86 (2).JPG] [attachment=247292:$_86 (1).JPG] Extremely light weight Celestion BN12-300S 4ohm NEO Bass Guitar Speaker 12" - £65 had this in a cab on it's own driven by a small 180 watt amp. Used rarely for jazz gigs (double bass) Being a 300 watts speaker its had an easy life. I'm using the cab with an 8ohm speaker now and it's part of a bigger rig so this is now surplus. 'Lean business' are selling these at a £115 on special offer, so if you need one here's a bargain opportunity here's the page with the spec 'n stuff : [url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/celestion-bn12300s-4ohm-neo-bass-guitar-speaker-12-offer-p-344.html"]http://www.lean-busi...ffer-p-344.html[/url] I've not got any of the original packaging to collection is preferred - I'm in Essex

    [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1487668216' post='3241578'] You can't seriously be suggesting that there are gigging musicians who don't know 'Happy Birthday' ? Or are you ?.... Lordy, I hope you are jesting. Edit: Don't forget your Rubbers !!! [/quote]not suggesting or jesting ( unfortunately ), stating my experience over the last several years

    [attachment=238305:kappa compare.tiff][quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1487214504' post='3238111'] Hi Checked the LFA spec ( there's info out there it seems ) agains the LF and i cant see a difference. Can you say what the difference is ? Might have a use for this in an empty cab i have Cheers [/quote]Lean business doesn't have the FLA only the LF but I found a link with the LFA spec. I think it goes down to 35hz which is better than the LF and has slightly more powerful RMS rating costs more too check it out: [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/15-inch-speakers/eminence-kappa-15lfa-speaker-15-inch?gclid=Cj0KEQiAuJXFBRDirIGnpZLE-N4BEiQAqV0KGlOAN_JuqvHPKaVqpXe5enXWYjXGdZFKcVqaSiFSUnoaAow-8P8HAQ#specs"]https://www.bax-shop...ow-8P8HAQ#specs[/url] Lean biz : [url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/eminence-kappa-15lf-8ohm-15-600watt-speaker-p-780.html"]http://www.lean-busi...aker-p-780.html[/url] PS: I changed original post to include the correct spec sheet you can compare side by side
