I did a dep job on Eb bass for a brass band once, it was a beer night where they had to keep playing without breaks between pieces. Each part had a number on it and the MD hand-signalled the number of the next piece while you were playing the current one. You then had to find a sequence of a few bars rest to get the next part out of your pad. Or in the case of the basses, one player at a time, since there are virtually never any bars rest in the bass parts for the kind of pieces you play at a beer night. You would think that it would be better to just sort the order out before the start, but the MD wanted the flexibility to go with the flow and select an appropriate piece in real-time.

Bass Collection Jive Bass?

Credit card payment surcharges are illegal in the UK, since January 2018.

Well, it makes a change from "Is this still available?" which is all I seem to get in response to Gumtree ads.

You have 2 two tops, each 8 Ohm, and 2 subs, each also 8 Ohm? My understanding is that if you plug one 8 Ohm sub and one 8 Ohm top into one of these Skytec passive crossovers you end up with an overall load for that system of approx. 8 Ohms. Which you can plug into one channel of your Behringer, you'll get about 165W RMS according to the spec less a bit in the crossover. http://www.caraudiohelp.com/newsletter/speaker_impedance.html

That tool wall deserves a thread of its own!

This one looks a bit nicer than the standard offerings, with ash body and what appears to be an ebony fingerboard to me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Bass-Collection-SGC-Nanyo-MIJ-Precision-Bass/184605775058?hash=item2afb5c94d2:g:LmEAAOSwO-Jf8H2z

Best check with Bilbo, but he wasn't asking for an unbroken existance with an original band member, just bands performing today who still had one.

But at the moment, Simon Nichol is in the band, so they do have an original member. Likewise Steeleye Span, Maddy Prior has been in and out but is currently in.

I don't suppose I can interest you in buying a bridge, one careful owner, no VAT?

Hey Jude, instrumental version. Starts slow but gets going after a minute or so. RIP Alec.

Royal Ordnance Factory, either side of Green Lane - part of it was the old 'Naismith's Engineering Works'. One side took up the space between Green Lane and the canal.

I think the original comment was about Swinton in Rotherham. I was an engineering apprentice in Patricroft, that can't be far from you. The factory is all gone now, a housing estate and industrial units.

I was thinking of the video that @jrixn1 posted but I couldn't find the link. You might also find that with your car, you can put the front seat and back seats flat, load the bass in through the back door and push it forward, and then put the back seat up, so you would be able to load the bass without driving onto the road to get the passenger door open. Does the rear seat split?

Put it in the front seat, the second person sits behind you in the back, amp, cab, baritone horn in the boot. Simples.

If they send out a replacement under warranty, will that also be subject to customs charges, handling and VAT?

Why oh why did I not buy it?

Dream on!

Me too. Basically it's nonsense. Where does my BB800 fit? Call them by their model numbers.

60 on the G? That's got to be a typo surely.

Nathan East playing his BBNE2 (start - 3.00), talking about his relationship with Yamaha over the years (3.00 - 8.25 ish).

I'm almost the same. I have' 'About to lose my mind ....' and Ain't got nothing to lose, got those 20th C Blues

Axe'r'us have a good selection too.

You used to be able to get something called Plasti Dip for coating handles of tools. In theory it peels off and leaves the surface underneath undamaged. Not sure I'd want to try it on a bass myself. Maybe some acoustic foam tiles on the ceiling?

Also those lugs at either side are a notorious failure point.
