  1. If they are that good they will value a 'steady Eddie' who won't compete but complement. You will be fine.
  2. I know it's Epiphone, but Jack Casady did create more or less his own bass...
  3. I once made Tracey Island from three bog rolls and some sticky back plastic...
  4. As I've only had it a few months, I don't know... Plenty of life in the set that's on, though. Did I mention there's a Gigbag?
  5. Steel string uke bass as advertised on this site? (cough)...
  6. Bought a bass painlessly. Got some free strings as part of the deal. What's not to like!?
  7. SOLD! Solid spruce-fronted Uke Bass with flatwound metal rather than rubber strings. Bought by me for use as a practice bass while on a fortnight's holiday. Since then it's been gathering dust on its handsome surface, as these sunlit pics show! Ideal for those who don't like the usual thick rubber strings, as it is in effect a travel bass guitar. Yet can be eq'd to sound very double bassy if required. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]2 band EQ on top of body (battery powered). Solid maple back and sides.[/font] Far more solid and substantial than my Countryman, but can't justify having two Uke Basses. This has one scar on the top (visible in photo, invisible when playing) and a small amount of wear under the strings from plucking by the first owner. Also a spot of rust on the D string that doesn't affect playing, as it's above the nut. Retails at £240. Asking £[s]125 [/s]110. Based Bournemouth, would consider posting at cost. Specs follow:[list] [*]Ox bone saddle and nut. 2 way Truss rod [*]With pick-up and EQ [*]Tuned E A D G [*]Nut width: 44mm [*]Width at 12th fret: 56mm [*]Scale length: 515mm [*]Body depth: 80mm [*]Lower bout: 263mm [*]Upper bout: 195mm [*]Waist: 166mm [*]No Frets: 18 [*]Body length: 355mm [*]Overall Instrument lengh: 750mm [*]Weight: 1.70 kg (approx) [*]With Pickup [*]Made in: China [*]Model Number: AU-90B [/list] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/08E6D1BD-DE5A-46F3-AC64-488FB6D1B4C6.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/BF47D3C6-50B3-4390-9387-B7B276E30AA4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/FC36A0DB-5852-4884-9CE3-2C4AD4B4B888.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/C0317802-AFBB-4821-B8F4-E358E9E694F3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/A522817E-F82F-41B2-A243-1BF91B14BF53.jpg.html"][/url]
  8. I was very impressed by their dedicated bass room. No pressure, just the occasional look in by staff. Full range of Fender/MM/Reverend and more.
  9. Jools has little to do with what acts appear, I believe. Why would he rock the boat when he has enjoyed a long tv career?
  10. Italian-made, two 10-inch speakers. Rated at a loud 300w, 500w if extra cab attached. Wedge shape gives the benefit of a monitor as well as a combo. Light weight is a huge advantage, with no compromise on sound (I replaced a Trace combo and have never regretted it). Built-in unbreakable handles. Little Mark II solid state power amp is built-in, recessed and easily accessible. Line out for PA support if needed (19 times out of 20 it isn’t). Legendary MarkBass VPF and VLE controls augment the usual EQ system and make it easy to add your personal signature to the sound. Absolutely reliable, and has been very carefully looked after. Roqsolid cover keeps it pristine. The ideal plug-and-play combo with the power to deal with any situation, indoors or out. And the best thing of all, it’s a one-hand lift! Offering this at £[s]595 [/s]545. Travelling extensively in the next few weeks so delivery/meetup possible. Please enquire.

  11. Was it deliberate that the most recent episode was all-female fronted?
