    [quote name='johnbiffa' post='761344' date='Mar 1 2010, 11:15 PM']Hi How about £475 and a brand new boxed EBS Microbass 11 PreAmp, collection on Friday late afternoon/evening? johnbiffa[/quote] Interesting... PM'd. [quote name='Sibob' post='761362' date='Mar 1 2010, 11:36 PM']Looks like a lovely bass! In some of the pictures, the strings look quite far over to the treble side of the neck, off centre as it were. Is it just funny angles? Or a high action?, but looks off centre with the dots too!? Si[/quote] Hey Si, Now you've mentioned it the pictures do look a little odd but there's no problem in playing it, plays lovely on that neck - all the way up, all the way down. Si

    [quote name='Rasta' post='760069' date='Feb 28 2010, 07:36 PM']Intrested in Trades? [/quote] Afraid that I'm not interested in trades at the moment as this sale is a fund-recovery operation for a recent new purchase that I've already made. Sorry Rasta, Si

    Thanks Bigwan, I really love this bass and think that it will make someone very happy

    Hey guys, [i]Reluctantly[/i], I'm having to put this up for sale to recover funds from my new purchase :) but this is a gorgeous bass and if you're looking for something [b]Jazz-like with a lot of versatility[/b] then this is it. Really smooth vintage tones can be swapped for punchy modern slap at the twiddle of a knob. So, it's a [b]Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn Series 4[/b] string bass. It's in a lovely "translucent" sunburst (rosewood fretboard) as can be seen in the pictures and is in excellent condition. I have used this bass with care and it has [b][u]no[/u] battle-scars[/b]. It's always been kept in a [b]hard case which I'll include[/b] (pictured). First dibs go to anyone on Basschat but I'm afraid I'll have to eBay it if I get no takers. Just purchased something from someone on this site and it'd be nice to give something back to the community ;) I'm looking for £700 but might consider offers... Drop me a PM if you're interested. Cheers, Si ------- [attachment=43396:Lakland___1.jpg][attachment=43397:Lakland___2.jpg][attachment=43398:Lakland___3.jp g][attachment=43399:Lakland___4.jpg][attachment=43400:Lakland___5.jpg][attachment=43401:Lakland___6. j pg][attachment=43402:Lakland___7.jpg][attachment=43403:Lakland___8.jpg]

    Well I'll try my luck... Got a nice Lakland Jo Osborne 4 if you're interested... It's a jazz style Si
  7. Broken Hero
    Ah so you didn't trade it for the JO4? You want a JO4 and a DJ4... Very nice. Have a bump. Si
  8. Broken Hero
    Hey there, That looks like a lovely instrument you have there. I don't have a DJ4, but I do have a JO4 that I could possible trade with you. PM me if you're interested. Si
  9. Broken Hero
    Realise that this was AAAGES ago but is this thread still relevant? I like the look of this... Is there any chance of this changing from a feeler to a for sale? Got a Lakland JO4 if you're interested in trade / part-trade. PM me if you're interested... and even if you're not, PM with a price that you'd hypothetically sell for so I know what I'm looking at in the future. Cheers, Si

    Just out of interest, what have the old bridge-cover holes been filled with? Are they screws, or some kind of stud? Looks really really nice by the way! Where are you based? If geoffbassist has played it and he is in Leeds then I'm guessing somewhere up north?

    The Warmth by Incubus. They are so tight as a rhythm section and it's a joy to listen to that kick and bassline lock in.

    [quote name='P-T-P' post='155881' date='Mar 12 2008, 11:45 AM']Sounds like we could do with a "Circle of 5ths" diagram to explain the key signatures (which leads us to the scales that go with them). I think the "D# scale" mentioned is just adding to the confusion as there is no key of D#, only Eb.[/quote] In theory you can quite happily have the key of D#... sure it is Eb but it's a different way of thinking and I have come across it in an audition before.. it is just a shift in thinking. The circle of fifths eliminates the need for double-sharps but they certainly exist in music theory. Maybe it does confuse the matter but hey, I'll stick to my guns and may be shot down.

    It's just a matter of convention. If you were playing a Bb scale then you would call the root Bb but an A# scale you would call it A#... but these would still be sonically the same scale. Maybe a better example is if asked to play the scale of D (D E F# G A B C# D) and then asked to play a D# scale... you would want to be doing stuff relative to the note that is actually named... hence the scale of D# (D# E# F## G# A# B# C## D#). It's actually quite good to think of things like this <in my opinion> as it keeps your mind working and keeps your theory on the ball and I think makes you more versatile... that is if you ever come across a song written in such a key Hope this helps > Si

    I play Lakland Joe Osborn Signature 4 String. It's lush. But at the moment I'm playing a Warwick Thumb 6... My guitarist hates that I have just as many strings as him.

    [quote name='paul, the' post='42031' date='Aug 6 2007, 03:23 PM']I'd love to get a thin nitro finish on my P-special. Anyone know anyone who does it? paul.[/quote] [url="http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/lacquer.html"]http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/lacquer.html[/url] I don't know anything of them but maybe they'll be of use. Is it a sunburst cos that's a bit more important to get done well?
