    Dedicated bass wireless system, complete with natty zip pouch. Has served me faithfully for some while but have been offered an upgrade (bandleader runs a music shop!) The very end of one antenna is bent and I use a small elastic band to ensure the battery cover stays on the bug as I dash around the stage/bar/Hall, but all sonics work perfectly and it has never let me down. AAA battery lasts for ages. £40 posted. Once you go wireless you’ll never look back!

    Hasn’t been an issue for me, honestly.

    Sold locally... This is a very early example of the CHB-2, and has the original body shape before (I understand) a certain company demanded changes. The pickup selecter is also in a handier place, and - most importantly - this is the full 34-inch scale, now unavailable. Colour scheme speaks for itself, and the condition is excellent. Just one nick in the rear binding that is utterly invisible when played or on a stand. Strung with pretty new flats which give the classic Gibson-esque tones; think Chas Chandler, Paul Samwell Smith. Treble pickup is surprisingly biting, if you want to mix it. I have found this to be streets ahead of the Jack Casady in terms of both build quality and usefulness in a live situation - no feedback issues. Selling since I am stripping back to two fretted instruments, but have never had such comments on a bass from audience and fellow musicians alike. It's a stunner. This is available with a short scale gig bag (free) or a new and fully fitting Granite padded gig bag with detachable backpack (rrp £40, yours for £20). I am based in Bournemouth, but am travelling up to Nottingham and Yorkshire shortly and would be happy to meet/deliver en route.

    I’m sure there’s a Leo Slayer joke here somewhere... excuse me while I look!😳

    Love Stevie W, hate Superstition and what pub bands like mine have done to it...

    I burn (baby burn) with envy, Jack!

    Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

    I use a mark bass MB800 and previously a tonehammer 500 with my SC. The extra headroom is worth it

    They usually edit these things down. As a fan of both I much preferred the Jeff Beck documentary.

    He posted an idiotic post and was surprised when he got it in the neck ...

    Wher would my pal get hold of a tone knob and pot (current one has broken shaft) for a 70s Fender Musicmaster? Thanks all...

    I play in a club band where the material is nearly all 60s/70s classics. Not much for a bass player to chew on, but regular work. Recently we have been playing everything a shade too fast. The effect is cumulative, so that by the second set some songs are ridiculously speedy (ever heard the Ramones doing Spirit in the Sky?)... i have remarked on this in rehearsal, and last night after the third song I had a word with the drummer to rein it back a bit. At the end of the evening he confronted me, clearly very angry, and told me I had wrecked the show for him and that this should never be discussed at a gig. The tempos had improved but he managed to miss some cues, etc, so my comment had some effect, even if his confidence was shot. So how do I approach this at the next rehearsal? How do you work with a drummer with that attitude, or is he being reasonable...?

    Funnily, in my gig on Friday the guitarist dried in Sweet Home Alabama. I stepped up and finished the first verse for him. Ironically, I have told the band I wanted to sing lead on the song in the past but was overruled 'unless you have a load of mates in the crowd'... I told them where they could stick that!!

    Countryman. Best value and you won’t want or need to upgrade.

    I empathise with Blue, as someone in a band that plays stuff for money, and am very glad he posts topics like this that glean a lot of different responses. For sure there are those who play purely for fun, and that's the other end of the spectrum. But there are enough truths in that original checklist to help anyone doing the 'internet band dating' thing. Talking of that, I got my current gig on personal recommendation. In the previous year, six start-ups failed - I left three, three left me - which has made me think that there's still no substitute for making connections in real life.

    Saw spinoff band from Selecter back in the day when they split into 2; can't remember their name but they we're good. ( Just googled - the People). Founder member Neol Davies is a really interesting fella with a book in him. A shame his group has been taken from him. And, slightly off topic, Dexys post-split band the Bureau were fantastic and better than what Rowland's lot became.

    In all seriousness my predecessor was sacked because he went missing when gear got loaded/unloaded. It's how some people are... Edit: oh, and to be fair he refused to wear band 'uniform' and do backing vocals!
