    [quote name='molan' post='845816' date='May 23 2010, 03:47 PM']I ran the on-stage monitor mix for them once about 7-8 years ago. Absolutely great fun & a really nice bunch. I had a fascinating conversation with Dave Brock about rust problems on '70's Mercs and where to find the cheapest replacement parts, lol.[/quote] ooh - just remembered that 'Brocky' gave me a luminescent star that he had stuck on to the headstock of his guitar after the gig. I still have it somewhere - will have to fix it on to one of my basses, the Bootsy is the most obvious candidate

    [quote name='Gwilym' post='849880' date='May 27 2010, 10:22 PM']was just thinking that if Molan didn't change the strings on that Sei Jazz after he bought it from me, it may well have been Hi-Beams on there when you got it.[/quote] Good shout - of course I have no idea if I changed them or not, lol. In terms of DR's I must admit I quite like the Sunbeams but I used for a while but went back to Elixirs because I'm a wimp and they are softer on my fingers!

    [quote name='BoomBass' post='848793' date='May 26 2010, 06:58 PM']Hi Molan, I actually don't know, but I do know that I have bought quite a few basses in the UK, and they have never been subject to any VAT or import duties. Overall, I find it very hard to imagine that you'd have to pay anything, and I am sure that VAT is definitely out of the question. Import duties also sound unlikely within the UK - that's the whole idea, right? Free movement of goods, services and workforce... I have shipped a few basses to Germany in the past, and they were never subject to additional taxes neither.[/quote] Thanks Boom, it was a Danish guy that told me import duties & VAT were payable - I actually pulled back on a deal becuase of this! I must admit that I thought there was free trade across all EU member countries. I'll try to do some more digging

    Hey Boom - do you know if a bass imported from Denmark is subject to VAT & Import duties when it hits the UK? I've been told by someone in the past that there were additional duties on a Danish import even though Denmark is in the EU

    Sadowsky onboard pre with VTC has gotta be worth £200 alone!

    I'd like to know more about the nitro finish - does it really make that much difference to the 'sound' of a bass? I know it feels really nice but is the potential for it to be damaged more easily an acceptable trade-off for an improvement in tone? I'd also be interested in how he selects his woods. He's 'famous' for having access to some amazing woods - such as the Dalbergia Negra fingerborads. How does he get hold of these rare woods and how does he choose which ones might sound best?

    [quote name='birdy' post='847252' date='May 25 2010, 10:08 AM']I would ask about the prospect of a PJ. I think Jimmy hasn't dismissed the idea but was struggling to get time to design the pickups correctly but would be interested to know? Steve[/quote] Well - I have an AC in customs right now with a P body & scratchplate but a pair of J pickups so he can certainly handle the routing oK

    I've updated my signature - happy to bring anything that's on there really By June 27th I should also have the Alleva Willie Weeks Signature: Possibly another Alleva Coppolo 1600 LTD in trans cherry spalted maple And, hopefully a Performance Bass P in a lovely nitro ivory finish with a white plate and all black hardware - these Performance basses really are very nice indeed, I'll definitely have my Louis Johnson Signature with me anyway:

    Sorry to hear that Gary - hope everything works out for you More pics of the bass from the porn section here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80989&st=0&p=776059&#entry776059"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry776059[/url]

    Blimey - £600 for one of these is a very good price indeed. I'm sure they were more like £800 - £1,000 on the used market just a year or so ago!

    Wow - I don't even play 6 string guitar but even I love this one. I'm a sucker for sea foam green

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='845874' date='May 23 2010, 05:02 PM']I know it's cliche but f*** me I want this.[/quote] I can take payments in instalments if that helps

    After a lot of initial interest it seems everything has gone very quiet Happy to consider trades on anything that might be easy to sell - probably more interested in basses than amps but you never know. . .

I had a fascinating conversation with Dave Brock about rust problems on '70's Mercs and where to find the cheapest replacement parts, lol. Excellent gig too, some really nice playing across the band, really liked the drummer (Richard Chadwick I think). Huw Lloyd-Langton was on guitar & it turned out he lives really near me. I spot him around town now & then but I don't think he's very well these days.

    I must admit that this has happened to me a few times but I came to the conclusion that there are no real out & out bargains to be had on EBay that haven't been spotted by someone here as well as me. I've PM'd people a few times about stuff I think they might fancy (rather than posting in the Ebay section) and almost every time they've already spotted it and are 'watching' it on the Bay.

    [quote name='dudewheresmybass' post='845302' date='May 22 2010, 07:33 PM']according to the MXR / dunlop rep, there won't be any in this country until at least november, and the retail will be in the region of £180! They wonder why so many people buy from the states!?![/quote] Lots of UK dealers are advertising them as being in stock already Street price ranges from £120 to £150

    I'm watching the JT & CK gig right now - I love CK's voice now that she's become a little throatier (is that an Ok word to use, lol?). They are out on tour all over the place together at the moment but nothing mentioned about coming to the UK yet. Jimmy J's playing on the JT live album is awesome, just fabulous in places and a tone to die for. Super nice guy too I've seen Lee Sklar live a few times and he's pretty cool, always a great core tone to his playing as well.

    I keep seeing ads for this on TalkBass and quite fancy trying one out. I use the MXR Auto-Q at the moment which generally does what I need but I'm assuming the fact they've bought out another envelope type pedal means the new one must sound different? Looks quite cool too:

    You know , there are times when I think I'm pretty bad at the good old bass revolving door syndrome but I'm pleased to see that you continually keep me looking half way sane, lol. I have a string of J styled basses if you want to borrow one whilst you make the big decision about what bass to buy next ? My Shuker J might be just perfect? I haven't played it for 2-3 months and it's sitting at rehearsal venue if you fancy it for a bit?
  23. molan
    Very nice little rig I'd love to try one of these out. . .

    Seriously impressed Urb - I work in a media industry that is awards obsessed so I know just how hard it is to actually win one of these things! Hope you got completely smashed at the awards dinner

    I haven't seen him live for years, last time was at the RFH I think & I had backstage passes but was way too shy to even say hello in the tiny little bar there. I did say hi to George Duke but only because he spoke to me first, lol. Great live sound - I know this sounds a bit obvious but he really sounds like he does on the albums - unlike some people who get buried in the mix & you can't hear them properly.
