Withdrawn - Bravewood 1962 Jazz Bass - Slab Board, Ash Body.
Cairobill replied to Chiliwailer's topic in Basses For Sale
Ah I miss my old Bravewood Jaco fretless. We compared photos of the Hejira-era scratches and dings and he did a fantastic job. WONDERFUL sounding j bass. -
I had a passive one; the neck was rock solid and needed a tiny truss tweak and was good to go. Solid construction and yup, Matsumoku

I sold mine for about 225.

I had one of these recently. They're thumpy! Japan made if I remember correctly. I think Andy Partridge uses one to track bass in his home studio (I noticed one in a recent-ish pic). They do record well.

My favourite 'Legend on a cheap bass' is The The's James Eller playing his old modded Kay bass. Just an incredible sounding bass. He used it to great effect on Julian Cope's 'World Shut Your Mouth' as well.

Yup - seconded. I was a huge fan from about 82 until Lovesexy. Had a ticket to SoTT at Wembley and was gutted when he pulled out. Saw Lovesexy, was blown away. Saw him again on the Batman tour and fell asleep. After that I dipped in every few years but the music never connected with me in the same way. The Revolution were amazing too. Just a perfect band. But that run of albums up to LS...what a run. Shockingly good!

Hi All Back up for sale is this MK EUB. It's the studio passive version (with the tuners on the bottom end of the string length). This is up for a lot less than the price these usually go for as there's some luthier tweaking needed to the nut (there's a schonky shim in there at the moment). But it looks pretty straightforward. Generally needs a set up but it works, plays well and it sounds good to me. I actually get on with it better than a Yam SLB200 I owned a while back. Reason for selling? I need some studio gear and my imagined jazz trio adventures have been impinged upon by Covid so it's on the chopping board. It comes with soft case and stand. no posting possible I'm afraid so it's either come to my gaff to meet in a nearby car park (socially distanced of course) or somewhere nearish to me (nr Tunbridge Wells). Here are some basic walkies in a vid to show that it's a working EUB Cheers, N

Along with the brilliant Brownmark (Revolution bassist) he defined the chugging Minneapolis style. Prob best defined in 'Lady Cab Driver'. Just legendary. I'm pretty sure he tracked this on bass (and did everything else). Astonishing musician!
-
Prince was a FANTASTIC bass player. A lot of the bass tracks on the earlier albums (including the Revolution era stuff) was him. This is particularly tasty. Prince took the bass part in this v cool cover of Whole of the Moon at one of his last big gigs in Minneapolis.

SOLD :: Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray Classic 2010
Cairobill replied to CPBass's topic in Basses For Sale
These basses are teeeeerrrrrifffic! V Cool colour too! -
Yes, this one also looks a bit more sparkly! Excellent
-
Very nice! That's peak punchy jazz bass right there and at a reasonable price. The Bass Gallery are superb for decent deals on extremely nice basses. I had a Celinder J-Classic which was lovely but I really wanted one of the updates. Looking forward to your first impressions. NB Is that the famous 'Scarbee' bass I wonder?

They do sound good. I can see one in my future! Hope you're well too. We're all hunkered down here in the weald

SOLD!: MARKBASS LMII (Italian) £250
Cairobill replied to Cairobill's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Now for sale bump or if you fancy as swap with some cash on top for a tone hammer amp I'm all ears. Or even an AG700... -
Ha ha yes! I retract that statement
-
Yup - Stingray can do anything apart from dinner jazz I think. Fine for fusion if that's your thing (Scofields Blue Matter for e.g.) Being able to go from droning metallic bass a la Simon Gallup to tight punchy Bernard Edwards is a VERY wide range. Having been around the houses for many years (too long to mention), I would happily argue a single pickup Stingray is the most versatile bass you can own. It's my only bass right now.
-
Just went back to Stingrays after doing the rounds of Js, Ps P/Js etc (it's an older, gorgeous '89 with the essential 2-band). It's just perfect. Holy moly...it thumps with old nickels on it. As mentioned on the thread, I will probably get a nice J bass to compliment the 'Ray. I 'm very attracted to that combo.
-
Just picked up a very, very nice '89 Stingray from Claudio. Absolutely as described, a great deal and a BEAUTIFUL bass. Thanks Claudio!

Yeah, total freebie!

On a free Waves plugin tip, the excellent RVox is available via this link. It's free, and amazingly there doesn't;t seem to be a catch (apart from signing up to a mailing list). You have to sign up (I have an email for this kind of thing) and you eventually get the serial link, a process which took a couple of days. It actually works! Expires on the 15th...RVox is very, very good so the palaver is worth it I think. https://rekkerd.org/get-waves-renaissance-vox-for-free-at-valentina-bilancieri/

Hi all, NEW PART EX FOR AGUILAR TH500 OR AG700 Up on the block is my Italian LMII I'm currently running my MB LMII through an Aguilar DB112 as my home/rehearsal rig and I fancy changing to an all Aguilar set up. Anyone interested in trading their Aguilar TH500 for my LMII? It's in good condition; It's only been used on a few (quiet) gigs but it does have a few scratches on the top edge. I had it serviced last year so it's in good, ready to go nick. As ever, direct hand over of amps is preferable but shipping is not out of the question. Not entirely sure of the comparable prices, but cash top up would be poss for the right trade as well! Cheers, N

Mmm nice. How did you find the fretless tone? Did it have graphite zing etc? I'm interested in a fretless Ray at some point and I'm not totally against the graphite fretless tone (I really liked my Zon fretless I sold a while back). But I guess the question is...can you get a warm fretless tone out of Ray/Sabre electrics with the Status neck?
