Ok, here is my early 90's Squier Silver Series Jazz. Sale only - I've a 1973/74 beautiful Fender Jazz sat in my house that I need to pay for!! I've known this bass since I was 16 - that's 15 years - the singer in my function band bought it when he was about 13 in 1994. I used to use it years ago as a spare, It then got sold to another local bass playing mate of mine a few years back, then I finally bought it from him last year. It's got an awesome neck, everything is original as far as I know. It sounds great and is currently strung with 'Jamerson' La Bella flats. It's really light and very very comfortable to play. It'll come with a gig bag - I'd rather collection - Don't like posting guitars really!. [size=4][b]NO LONGER FOR SALE.[/b][/size] [size=4][b]KEEPING IT AS A SPARE FOR NOW.[/b][/size] It'll also come with a gig bag. There are a fair few 'battle' scars on it, there's a bit of worn paint on the top rear shoulder - a bit 'Jaco' style.....

just take some time off. Nowt wrong with that if you're not feeling it. Just crack on with other stuff - homelife, work, gym, study, whatever suits.... then when you least expect it, you'll get some motivation to pick it up and you'll be away! Maybe go to some gigs and enjoy 'enjoying' music - go to some gigs... You'll be fine..........

[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Talk about leaving space . . . (solo starts at 2:12)[/font][/color] I like that a lot - thanks!....the crazy thing with the Free version and them in general is that they were 17 / 18 / 19 when that album was recorded and released! Brilliant. (so maybe you could say that they didn't 'have' the blues, but could certainly play it) That's the great thing about threads like like - you get to discover new (old) music. I'm a big Allman Brothers fan and used to play this back in the day - http://youtu.be/0wsUNMSiIII The blues is such a huge genre.............so, good luck with the audition!!! -

All, due to the recent purchase of an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500, for sale is my trusty 2005 Ampeg SVT3 Pro head. I have owned this from new and have used it regularly since. I bought it from Electromusic in Doncaster and it was £1100 at the time! It's one of the (apparently more desirable) USA made ones (SLM electronics) rather than the current made in 'Vietnam ones' (LOUD technologies). It's served me well on tours, album, radio and tv sessions and on all sorts of sized gigs with plenty of headroom to spare. It comes with a live in Gator black ABS flightcase. The key locks on the flightcase are now missing, but the side wing locks are all present and work correctly. Also, one of the side carry handles is missing. There is a small scratch on the right handle on the front of the amp and the knob on the 'balanced out' level control is missing. It had new preamp valves last year. It's almost a 2 channel amp as there are 2 EQ stages - there's the standard 'rotary controlled EQ with bass, mid, treble, the Ampeg 5 way pre set voicing control and a hi and low 'boost' switch. There's also a 'bright' control for extra 'sparkle'. In addition, there's a 9 band graphic EQ which can be switched on or off. it's also foot switchable to give you the 2 channels. It also has a -15dB pad switch for active basses, a gain, master vol, a mute switch and a tube gain control. It's a really versatile head and can cope well in all sorts of situations - thumpy jazz and Motown to proper loud with a bit of grit! I used it with a Stingray initially, then Jazzes and a P bass. It sounded great with them all. I also used a Sans Amp and VT bass depending on what I was doing. I can't currently think of anything else!

I don't mind meeting within an hour of Wrexham for fuel. A family member regularly drives from Oxford to Wrexham so there's the possibility of the buyer collecting from North Oxford. Any other questions, please PM me! Follow the link below to photos as I couldn't get the uploaders to work on here.
