    Now Sold I've been a naughty boy and gone and bought a Musicman so my strict 'one in, one out' policy has kicked in �� For Sale - £425 inc case. Now dropped to £375...... (Poss interest in a Gallien 700RB amp head as a trade) [b]Fender Blacktop Jazz Bass [/b]in pretty much mint condition. Nno scratches, buckle rash, dings or dents. Made in Mexico and a Jazz body and neck with twin Precision pickups and a VVT control arrangement. Its a grunty zingy monster of a bass with a beautiful slim easy playing neck. Black with rosewood neck and I have applied decent pearl block inlays on the fretboard. I think it improves the look and they'll come off cleanly if required. The paintwork and chrome is immaculate, there is tiniest trace of a thumbwear by the rear pickup which will polish out if you need to and some very faint pick swirls on the pickguard. Its all too small to get a photo of though. It has a Hipshot Detuner fitted at present and comes with the original tuner. New stainless roundwounds just fitted. Comes with a Rockcase rigid foam case in gigged condition but completely serviceable. (Cost £560 for the bass and £75 for the Hipshot almost exactly 2 years ago from Wunjos.) Prefer collection from near Stansted Airport/Essex/Herts area but could poss deliver same area and Central/North/East/SE London,Kent or maybe Surrey by arrangement. Could potentially courier it but not overly keen to at the moment...... Pics to follow......

    [quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1422543603' post='2673917'] I've had a pretty good experience with them, all of us in my band use them and not had a problem! [/quote] Bought two - neither lasted more than 3 months....... Only decent named lead that I've ever had go bad on me in 30 years.

    I use a couple of TGI Extremes and they seem pretty good for a 40 quid bag. The newer black and grey ones seem better than the old ones with blue piping.

    Great stuff! Not as hard as it seems is it once you're up there....

    Still waiting for a response to my PM ..........

    Mine makes quite a difference playing solo. Try putting an ipod thru it if you can - turn the tweeter dial up to the max and then back it off to hear the change. If i back it off a quarter turn there is a big drop in high end. That'll confirm if its working ok.

    PM incoming.......

    I recently went thru the same thought process and ended up with a Charlies Pedalboards C1. Running a Korg Pitchblack tuner, Sony wireless receiver, EMG Multicomp on the bottom level and Ashdown Lomenzo, Behringer BDI21 and Tech21 VT Bass DI on the top with a Diago Micropower. I have room for one more Boss sized pedal I required. The two tier style is pretty good.

    Big gig this new years eve, big London pub and i was using a 900 watt amp with 2 BF Big Baby cabs so potentially able to flatten most of East London if i pushed it as i wasnt running thru our PA. I had the flu so was feeling pants and had stuffy ears and head. Played first set all ok. Second set and band start to turn up a bit, i thought it was my woolly ears but i just sounded limp compared with the other guys. Ended up running the amp 3/4 flat out thinking i had a problem as i never have it anywhere near that loud. During teardown afterwards i spotted the top cab speakon lead dangling in space......Still havent figured out how it came out though

    How chunky is the neck in it compared to the jazz? -i had a 424x and couldnt get on with the chunky neck but liked the sound.

    We finish with a 100 mph version of Pretty Vacant which morphs into Hey Jude (just the na na bits) with a chuggy "intro the band and say thanks to everyone" feel. Shouldnt work morally but always goes down a riot �� We can split the crowd into bass side vs gtr side to see who can sing the loudest too which is fun. And if its a muso type of gig sometimes we finish with Comfortably Numb so the geetards can show off a bit more.

    [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1420762806' post='2653286'] Hi Mudpup, do you have a page we can like, rather than a group? I used to love playing in Egham, by the way. At The Iggy, which is now a Mcdonalds, I think! As it's been said straight up, I have to agree. I've liked my way through the list, and many thanks to those who have liked back so far. I'd be chuffed with the other 75% too, though! Technically, I'd be looking at passing 100 by now... Starting from scratch with a band, it would make a big difference! [/quote] Ah no sorry, its the only one. We do a couple if crackers round Egham, the Crown is usually a riot and The Crown Hotel in Chertsey is fun too.....

    We're a rock covers band and we had a great year last year with a total of 44 gigs completed (previous years averaged about 32/35 per year). We take the whole of August off for family holidays. And this year is turning into a monster already - we have 46 booked until Christmas with a load of new venues coming onboard. I think we have about another 10 that will come in from regular venues if we can fit them in. At this stage last year we had about 30 booked. We're at the point where we are offloading the cheaper less fun gigs in favour of new bigger payers. Most of the new gigs are coming in from venues contacting us after their customers had seen us elsewhere and recommending us. Life is good........

    Spector and Ashdown sounded pants when I had them. Spector and GK or Benz is luvverly though.

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1419977764' post='2644623'] Difficult... I guess you either take a party which will be a good payer etc etc ..and then work for it, or you do it cheaper for a pub and then hope the guy can pay you what he has agreed. I am half glad we didn't bother and I think we'd only come out for a regular LL/pub so we would be pretty sure there'd be no problems Walking round town this xmas period makes me glad I haven't got to put up with some of those people when they've had more to drink I hope it goes well for you guys.. If g/f is ill, I'd be have tempted to tell a few ppl I'll taxi them home.. I think it would be easy to pick up £100 for 90 mins work or so... [/quote] Phew, that worked out ok. We got paid the full £800 even though he only took £1200 on the night and had to pay doorstaff. He'd cheered up by the time we were away too. Athough he said he'd never pay that much for a NYE band again.

    I've got a bit of a weird feeling one booked. Its a gig we've done about 4 times last year - the owner booked us for NYE at half time on the first gig - but he chipped our money at the last gig by £50 claiming he hasn't made enough over the bar that night. We rolled with it on that occassion but its left a worry over tomorrows one. He originally offered £500 (for a 4 piece), we countered with £1000 and settled on £800 as its only half an hour away. I tried to get the money upfront from him but with no luck, not surprised but it was worth a go. Got a feeling he's gonna plead poverty after the crowd has gone.......may be nicely surprised though.
