Sunday bump -
Still available, a lot of interest but no viewings as yet. Come on, I make a good cuppa.

You don't need a luthier. Hopefully a bass chatter in your neck of the woods will come to the rescue. Who can resist a damsell in distress? If not a bass chatter, there must be someone you know who is half way handy with DIY.

Hawkwind - some great (and under-appreciated) bass playing
gary mac replied to Clarky's topic in General Discussion
Now they were a band and a half. Greg Ridley and Jerry Shirley were one of the great un-sung rhythm sections. 'Live - Rockin' the Filmore' is one of my all-time favourite albums. Yes that's a cracker of an album and still a regular on my hi fi, they were certainly an impressive live act. Saw Stevie Marriots Packet of Three at a pub in Finchley some years back, Jerry shirley on drums and still so good. Greg Ridley no longer with us of course -

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1319830639' post='1419200'] Slightly off topic but I've always thought that lemmy managing to get thrown out of hawkwind for a drug habit is like getting thrown out of the church for having too much faith , an unbelievable achievement [/quote] I met Stacia at the Sundown in Edmonton in 73. Although I had lusted after her for some time, all I managed was a mumble, an embaressed bit of shoe shuffling and a pathetic attempt to look her in the eye and not the chest. I'd like to blame the acid, but that turned out to be a very expensive piece of sliced uncooked spaghetti I've still got the Hawkwind "Have a good time" badge from that gig. Saw Humble Pie a few weeks later at the same venue, much more my cup of tea. -
Good choice. I love most of that album and there is some very pleasing bass playing on it. Sorry can't sit and work it out at the moment as I still need to nail a few songs for tomorrow nights gig. If no one has come to your aid by the end of the weekend I'll try to help you.

[quote name='LemonCello' timestamp='1319795860' post='1418618'] I learned on one of these and yours looks like a lovely example! I always found the stock pups to be a little 'polite' so the Wizards should have improved things no end. Good luck with the sale and all good wished to your daughter. LC [/quote] Thank you. All the best

[quote name='Bobby K' timestamp='1319741358' post='1418085'] Yours was the one with the EMG on it wasn't it Garry? I was considering yours before I came across this beauty on ebay. It's tough letting go of some basses innit, they're like ex girlfriends; but sometimes you're glad to see the back of them! :-) [/quote] Yep you are quite right on all counts.

Another easy, pleasant transaction with Dave. Super speedy delivery too, I placed the order at about 11 ish wednesday morning and received it before ten the following day.

[b] ORANGE 50 BXT BASS COMBO[/b] Offered for sale my daughter’s very orange little combo. A great little 50 watt amp, that is compact and boasts a useful power rating.

My daughter is having some health problems at the moment and not able to work, hence this sale. She is therefore not interested in trades at this time. She is a Bass Chat member but I offered to do the photos, put up the ads and deal with the sales as she just isn’t up to doing it herself at present. Offered for sale at £115.00. Cash sale preferred, but can accept Pay Pal or Bank transfer.
