    Brilliant bass, I want it but don't need it! Very cheap for that kind of sound quality but expensive for a toilet seat GLWTS
  4. Pinball
    That would work for me!

    Updated 1st post to include trades and in that this is probably a limited edition rather than Elite Custom. To all intensive purposes they are the same guitar (thanks Jay). Ed

    Hi, apologies for the late reply. I prefer not to export far the way things are at the moment. I had a possible buyer the USA but am not comfortable to ship far ATM Thanks.

    Thanks, A buddy gave me some "stuff", like round granules to try. Thinks it should do it, although I prefer to source a Burns replacement if I can

    Hi, not sure of the exact weight but it is somewhere in the middle? It isn't lightweight. I would guess at over 10lb but less than 10.5.

    Sigma BMC-15E 4-String Acoustic Bass w/ Pickup - All Mahogany Body This Sigma BMC-15E 4-string acoustic bass guitar with no significant scratches or dents at all. String with Thomastic flats and sounds amazing IMHO. I have had this bass for a few years and it is a favorite but I rarely use it and want to buy something else. It comes with a soft case. The last time was to record the "sliding bass line" in Blue and Hazy (see below) "The bass itself is an incredible instrument. The all mahogany construction is very durable, offers up a very deep and rich tone, and looks great! The bass was built before CITES imposed the regulations on rosewood, so this model has a rosewood fingerboard and bridge as well. The bass is also outfit with Grover die-cast machine heads as well as a bone nut & saddle. Overall the quality of craftsmanship, the simplicity of design, and the excellent hardware and materials make this one of the best value for money acoustic basses out there." Here are some general specs on this model: Top: Solid Mahogany Back & Sides: Mahogany Neck: Mahogany Nut: Bone Saddle: Bone/Compensated Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood Scale Length: 34" Width at Nut: 40.1mm Tuning Machines: Chrome, Grover Diecast Finish: Natural Electronics: Fishman Isys + (Chromatic Tuner Included)

    Trades? well I play 5's but would like a passive 4 to put flats on, a "string through" Fender Mustang or similar short scale or a 90's USA P bass with money either way. This is a Burns "limited edition" John Rostill Shadows Bass, 1964 reissue from the late 2000's. It has a white polyester finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Full 33.5 inch scale. It has been well gigged so read the condition report, but is still keenly priced. It plays well and sounds great and gets positive comments when used. A Fantastic instrument for a retro or modern band. It is currently strung with flats. It is a very usable instrument The Shadows bass (and Burns guitars) are collectable and are not currently being made so this is a rare chance to get one of these at this price. Condition report: This bass is well used and has numerous small marks from normal use and a lacquer crack near the neck joint (pictured). There is one tuner key missing. The mechanism can still be tuned by using one of the other "push on" tuning keys although I am sure that the new owner will want to replace it. Note: As Burns are not trading at the moment I have been unable to get a replacement key but I see that they plan to begin trading again soon.. It comes with original Burns imitation alligator/wooden construction hard shell case, which is tatty, well used but still in one piece. Specifications: Original Burns Vintage Style 9Reversed Gear) Machine Heads Nut Width 43mm Scale Length 331/2 inches Neck made from Canadian Hard Rock Maple Fingerboard is Indian Rosewood Burns Gear-o-Matik Truss Rod Gearbox Body is American Alder Featuring Burns® unique Rez-o-Tube™ Aluminium Floating bass bridge unit engraved with : BURNS REGD.DES. Chrome palm rest 3x Original Nu-Sonic type pickups Master volume 5 way pickup selectorTone control for neck and middle pickup Separate tone cut for bridge pickup Push/Pull tone pot for 2 extra pickup combos

    A heads up that I'm still looking for one of these...😎
  12. Pinball
    Heads up...still looking, although I have a plan to cunning fashion a replacement if I get stuck Bass sounds the biz BTW Ed

    A big thanks for all the feedback, I take note of all the comments, "I'll keep on keeping on". Started home recording my new stuff yesterday and will try and get back to the studio before Christmas! 😎

    Hi, yes the album's here: https://eddiemole.bandcamp.com/album/blue-and-hazy Tracks are all over the place as digi singles and there are a some video's on Youtube. I was a busy boy in lockdown as everything was stinky poo (bereavements/job losses, housing crises) . Music helped keep me going!
  15. Pinball
    Harmonium? that would be interesting. I need to get some basic key playing skills

    Hi Douglas, thanks for your input. I hear what you are saying and do tend to get a bit OCD about my toons. That partly comes from a past lack of confidence (that's playing/singing and writing). I have now largely got over that simply though age and experience, so I no longer care so much what people think. I do love to get useful feedback that I can use in future projects though so thanks for that. I'm sure that your right that some of my stuff could be "slimmed" down. That is why I asked the question You touched on an important point that I don't think that a market exists for this type of music...whatever it is. Having said that I enjoy doing it so am continuing. Not worrying or over thinking gives me freedom to try all sorts of weird and random things and to go for it and have fun. Expect more weird randomness in the future 😁 Note: I should have mentioned that the drums are just an electronic version that I put down to build the track around. Unfortunately an attempt to put down ambient drums failed and then we were in lockdown so I had to go with it. That also impacted on some of the other tracks which have percussion elements done at home instead of "real" drums. One track called Emily Sings has no percussion at all and a very sparse bass line.

    The style was also driven by the fact that I couldn't get back into the studio to revisit bits so did most of the stems for that at home. That's where all the percussion, voice and guitars were done. It was either that or put everything on hold, which wasn't something that I was going to do.

    The bass definitely drives it, which is probably down to my love of bass and why I asked the question...I always want to hear the bass loud in my stuff but have regretted that later more than once. It is too late to mess with this mix as the album is done and out there but the mids/mix is something for the next project. Note: The timing is pretty much as it was from memory Putting bass to one side, the Blue and Hazy album is full of what could be considered "mistakes", most of I am aware of and ignored but I'm sure there are others. I also tried to avoid too much compression. I don't think that will work on the next as it is going to be more electronic and heavier. Your comments are relevant to that. From Blue and Hazy, there is another sinister track on Youtube that is a good example of what I was after. I'm not actually playing the bass on that one (Pete Brownbridge is on double bass) but you can hear all the mistakes, background noise and clicks and bangs. The percussion/shakers are almost random at times. I wanted it to sound as near live as possible so in production tried to leave everything as was. There is even a missing guitar strum where I lost my way heehee. From memory I think that the timing varies too but that kind of suited the track.

    ooh and please please follow on youtube or wherever if you like it...making music is only half the battle. Promotion is really difficult these days.
  20. Pinball
    Brill thanks, for the positivity as I was using the skills/tools that I have. Adding more bass lines seemed to keep the song moving and developing as it went along to my ear. That goes for the voice too as I can only use what I have. I do love Mr Reeds stuff so am happy with that.

    Hi, I haven't posted for a while but I finished a solo/singer/songwriter album under lockdown and wonder if I got carried away with the bass. The single and album title track below is an example with 3 (or was it 4) inter-woven bass parts by the end of the track. I'm about to start on a new solo project. I was asking myself, did I get carried away? I mean would it have been better with a simpler bass line and transferring the focus to other instruments or effects? Any thoughts?
  22. Pinball
    That looks lush, I had an Eastwood Sidejack Vi, which was a nice instrument but that one looks a step above GLWTS

    Weight is a very comfortable 4.3Kg so lightweight for a 5'er

    Still looking for one of these....No answer from Burns yet but they are going though changes in ownership so not surprising.
