Nige, it wasn't so much the pic in the OP, more the nature of some of the comments.

My black P bass, sold now but it was a cracker [url="https://flic.kr/p/fk9MrP"][/url]

[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1413382867' post='2577735'] The bar in the hills...Tajinaste was awesome when we first started playing there,they got greedy and asked us to play there too often in my opinion. it lost some of the atmosphere,but we always had a blast! I am afraid Kevin passed away last December.......I was over for most of November and into December to help Maggie ,his partner with visits to hospital etc. He was one of the nicest, most generous, warm and friendly people I have ever met.He is sorely missed. [/quote] Ray I'm going to pm you rather than post in this thread.

I suspected it was you Saw you a few times. The Courtyard and Route 66 I think. Always good fun. We also used to go up to a bar up in the hills on a Sunday, which was a good night. Didn't see Kevin earlier this year when we were there, has he moved on?

I'm enjoying 9 - 5 far too much

Another purchase from Gav and the usual excellent service.

[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1413030513' post='2574330'] When I later moved to Tenerife and needed a new amp I bought an Ashdown! [/quote] Sorry, bit of a thread hijack but did you get to play much in Tenerife. I'm a regular visitor to the Gigantes/ Puerto Santiago area and wondered if I had seen you. I've also sometimes had thoughts of moving out there and doing a bit of playing to pay the rent.

Very sorry to hear this Pete. Hope you have some other interest to keep you occupied until your situation improves.

[quote name='sellisnba' timestamp='1413293049' post='2576780'] Thanks gary_mac. I'll get some of that ordered. [/quote] No worries. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1413294993' post='2576804'] Though you may want to solder an earth wire onto the shielding at some point! I [/quote] Yes, I should have also pointed that out.

Like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390850471267?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

You don't need to solder if you use a tape with conductive adhesive

If you are still able to borrow an amp for gigs, then maybe put up with doing that for a while longer, whilst saving a little more dosh. Might be some more bargains around just after Christmas, when people are strapped for cash and less competition with the bidding on Ebay.

Ouch that looks a tad savage

Great work. Good to see the baton is still out there and raising money.

Nige, after watching the vid this morning and seeing her fretting hand technique I was going to post and ask you if she played bass.

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1413203703' post='2575768'] I did the first gig the other night where the pub made us buy our own drinks !!! We got a great crowed in an otherwise empty pub , won't be playing there again . [/quote] You must have it good on the island, not many venues supply us with drinks. I've taken to taking my own along (non alcoholic)

The BB1200's were superb. I had one that was my main gigging bass for a lot of years.

Nice one Mark. My 80's G&L has been my regular gigging bass for the last four years. Love it. Yet to find a more powerful passive instrument. Hope you enjoy your one as much mate.

I like everything about this. Such an interesting, absorbing mix of styles/influences. Really enjoyed listening to this Nige.
