    Did a deal with Charlie. All went exceptionally smoothly, and he is a top bloke. He has a nose for good gear, so keep an eye on him and deal with confidence. You might get lucky like I did!😆
  2. Unfortunately the link wont work for me... Thanks for the interest though!🙏
  3. Got my small PA out yesterday for an occasional outing and found a problem with one of the cabs. One of the input jacks seemed to have sheared off (right hand, first pic) and the left hand one would not work. Any help as to what I need to replace the offending item and where I can get it would be much appreciated! Thanks...
  4. They apparently blame it on a rogue algorithm...
  5. Congrats! I have two, neither of whom are showing musical ability yet (but early days)...
  6. I go to watch Poole! Now you have sorted the commentary can you get them a pitch that doesn’t waterlog?👍

  8. Had a ticket to see him and Steely Dan in Portland. Gutted...
  9. Tom bought a book from me. An exemplary purchaser and a good bloke - deal with confidence.
  10. Shame he became estranged from the band and was not part of their farewell. His antics were part and parcel of their appeal. Interviewed him once post-gig at the Astoria. It had changed clientele at 11 and become a gay disco; we sought refuge from the thumping music in a dark corner, don’t know what people thought we were up to. 😂 RIP Pete...
  11. My goodness. So tempted. I had one of these in the 80s.
  12. If anyone wants the Rockschool book - I am sure it would bring back memories for some - I am happy to supply for the cost of postage!
  13. Haha. The man to ask is @knicknack ... It was far from noisy, I can say that. Also i played it v loud with an AC DC trib i was Depping with. It coped!
  14. I once owned this. It is cracking!
  15. Maybe Rusty was the agent/facilitator. He had something to do with the Some Bizzare sampler that DM were on, I think?
  16. If it makes you play like him I’d give it a try😁
  17. Jack Bruce used to use a kind of shooting stick to lean back against/sit on. An option if you don’t fancy a stool?
  18. Wowee! Stunners, those... I have a 301F bought in the late 80s from Andy’s in Denmark Street on an impulse. It has taken from then till now for me to use regularly in a band, despite my first ever bass (1981) being a fretless Jedson Jazz copy. I gigged that merrily before becoming concerned about intonation, etc. Curiously it has no serial number at all. Age has given the back a rippled effect but nothing there has flaked off yet. It’s superbly light and resonant and is similar to that played by my favourite fretless player, Mick Hawksworth. I saw the Groundhogs’ current bassist playing a fretted just before lockdown. I would love a fretted 301! Here’s a pic of me playing it with folk-roots combo State of Undress.
  19. I alternate a Peavey Minimax and Gallien Kruger MB200 with the same cabs
  20. I have one of these and it is immense. Good luck with the sale.
  21. I sold a bass off this site to a ParcelForce employee. He said don’t bother insuring it, they’ll only wriggle out of responsibility if anything goes wrong😈 True story!
