    Say you were ( let's take a random example, an upper class 92 year old woman who lives in a Palace). Could you imagine enjoying a gig featuring Sting, Shaggy, Kylie and Tom Jones to name just a few? Still at least you'd get a good seat and wouldn't have to queue for the loos during the interval....

    Shitty headstock tuner-Bass-Cable-Combo Amp. if there's a PA provided then DI out of combo, although last gig which involved a long walk from my car to the venue I just DI'd and heard my Bass through the floor monitor. Oh, I have a Pitch Black Tuner somewhere but usually forget it and anyway the guitarist is usually out of tune....

    Thought I'd contributed to this already but here we go, all scruffy photos however: 72 Telebass, Squier Japan 1994 P Bass and 2003 Japan reissue Blueflower P Bass

    Eastenders Nothing too in depth, but I do remember auditioning 2 drummers over the years with electronic drum kits. Both felt duty bound to regale me with a well-known soap theme tune intro... Love the preceeding accounts too!

    Agree, that said there are many Basschatters who advertise on the FB sites too so not everyone is dodgy.

    ....well he decided to sell it and keep his '2 bisons'. Much more fun than trying to play them on stage.

    Not been any new episodes for a while now, wonder if it has been canned?

    Just can't understand how it hasn't been snapped up already....

    Great comms. from Gary when purchasing my pickup: instant payment. Buy/sell with confidence.

    Didn't this belong to a well-known Amp manufacturer starting with an Ash?

    I bought a Bass on Facebook recently: suffice to say Basschat is so much better.

    Imagine if they knew you'd driven there in a car...... and not a horse and cart?

    You are forming part of a Faraday cage, so as long as it is metal it should be OK

    I'm guessing that's a 'No'?

    Does that mean you will send me child maintenance every month and some extra cash on its birthday?
  17. yorks5stringer
    and I could have Pm'd you for all that info too....what was I thinking?

    Would it be wrong to mention a sighting of Pirates in the region...?

    For sale is a custom hand-made/wound Herrick 51 P Bass pickup rated at a punchy 8.3 K.ohms. Bought for a project, it was fitted but then I decided to leave the project stock as it was being traded. Comes with foam instead of springs but can swap if you wish. With 22 cm wire so should fit nicely. This is half the price of a new one, and my price includes postage within the UK. Happy to remove my dead skin from the pickups if the buyer require it.....!

    When I bought my 72 TeleBass last year it came configured as per the photo. I decided 2 'Buckers were too much, so rather than it hide in a drawer the other one is for sale. It will fund a refurb. of the Bass and hasten it's return to stock. I have no idea how old this pickup is, I can just make out some numbers in pen but they are not fully legible (28?) but they stopped production in 1979 so I guess it can't be any older than that? I've not seen any for sale anywhere and given they are no longer made I feel my price for this piece of vintage Fender is fair. Condition wise it has been well used and the E and A strings have scored the finish.There are slight scores from D and G too. As it was the 'Bridge' pick-up, it was very close to the pots, so only has a short lead, but this could be easily made longer/replaced.

    I traded to this at the SW Bass Bash. It appears to be 93/94 MIJ without the Silver Series decal and has had a Bassass II added. Not come across this shade Blue before but such a nice Bass, weighs in at just under 4kg and has nice punchy pick-ups and 40mm nut width. It came with a different scratch plate and creme covers, swapping them out I noticed there was a brass plate below the pickups in the cavity. Not an expert on early Squiers so if anyone can help with some background...?

    Just remembered the Mark Audio PA system sounded 'monster' and it was just a couple of small cabs and some tweeters on poles ( you can tell I've really read up on the technical terms...)

    I see these are back again.... https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_alder_4_bk_deko.htm?sid=4d1ce4bc59a8f48c2b169bb6f1f6ca46

    A S.M.A.R.T. repair to bodywork on a car might cost £200 or less, if it's not a metallic colour and there are no dents to pull. I subscribe to Dan Erlewine on the Stewmac Luthier Supplies YTchannel and he can repair virtually any paint work on both new and vintage gear and makes it look easy..

    Very happy with the Squier you kindly swapped to me, needless to say have changed the pickup covers back to black and given it a brush up and polish too (not that I'm saying it was dirty, just I have so much polish......)
