    Used to be mine - I paid same for it without case so a bargain I'd say. M

    Thanks for this - great stuff! Sounds live but drums don't seem to be miked up. Took me back to my youth.

    Thanks Jack - direct link works. I have recently acquired one of these beauties (5-string) and it's three times as loud as anything else I own! Haven't yet decided if I will keep as five strings and me don't always mix - but if I don't I would dearly love to swop it for a four-stringer. EXTRA: Having read this now, I take issue with the reviewer that the two controls towards the bridge are active bass and treble. Mine seem to be tone and boost respectively... Still v useful review though.

    One of my best gigs and one of my worst. Best 1977 (Hammersmith Odeon), worst early 80s (a 50-minute show at the Venue, Victoria, when they were doing two a night). I might risk it!

    He's doing a one man show on 9 Jan at the Powerhouse Studios in Chiswick. I may well attend...

    Doc - pm me with your address. I haven't received it yet but I am a quick reader

    Enjoyed that!

    Bought my Kramer bass and was as communicative as can be. Absolutely no problems, and I have never sold a bass abroad (Belgium) before. Thank you Amo!
  11. Mickeyboro
    Yes please! PM'd

    Sold to a very nice gentleman from Belgium! And thanks for the video Gust0o - great stuff.
  13. Mickeyboro
    Now sold!

    Bought my Kingbass and was a very nice fella. Good communications, too. Deal with confidence as they say.

    Bump of an aluminium kind...

    Deke Leonard of Man is quite the writer if you want sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Though as his publisher I admit I am biased... Order through this website before Xmas, quote Basschat and deduct £2 off the price of any of his three titles.

    Bump for an affordable classic that sets you apart from the crowd!

    Acoustic bass in as new condition except for slight thumb 'shadow' on scratch plate. Any other 'marks' are reflections. Does a good job as an unamplified practise instrument, and has plenty of controllable power through an amp. I now use a fretless for my folk gig, so it sits in a nice hard case all the time.

    Took this affordable classic in a trade earlier this year, and it's comfortably the most active passive bass I have ever played. My band (who never take any notice of basses) actually recognise this one and deem it the best-looking one I have. It is, however, a victim of the 'one in, one out' rule. DiMarzio pickup (hence DMZ) combines with two mini toggles to give an astounding number of tonal options, from Precision to Stingray (I kid you not). Given this is 35 years old, it it in phenomenal shape and comes with a new luxury gig bag. Like Concorde, there will be no more aluminium-necked basses, so get yourself a piece of history that's cool-looking, not too expensive and above all playable.

    Hear hear. Sent me a precision ashtray cover and said 'put a fiver in the Macmillan tin.' Salt of the earth!

    [quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1384078528' post='2272422'] Whats wrong with having Sir Cliff on there anyway ?? [/quote] Nothing against Cliff, but his appearance seemed an excuse to put a famous name in there when there was so much wasn't said about the band's story. What about, to name but one example, the original organist (Roy Lynes) who appeared in the early pics and VT and disappeared without even being name checked?

    Really poor documentary I thought - based on two long chats with Rossi and Parfitt rather than actual events. And Cliff? WTF? Elvis Costello document previous night was rather more thoughtfully put together.
