I'm getting more and more into playing my battered old Spencer upright piano (1936). I got it for free 20yrs ago from a work colleague who had it re-conditioned then gave up on it. It just sounds great. I never got it tuned after the last move into my current house and it has a wild and woolly hauntology-drenched sound. They're wonderful things... And as Rufus Reid says...."all bass players should make friends with the piano..."

I've had a couple of XLs over the years. Fantastic basses and I really miss my last one. If anyone wants to sell theirs, drop me line...

Up for sale is my ROLAND DB700. A classic all in one package for not a lot. Capable of putting out a lot of wallop and some delightfully 90s processing when needed to boot (especially the chorus!) Roland Spec sheet (https://www.roland.com/ca/products/db-700/) Digital bass amplifier with FFP amplifier technology for maximum punch and compact design COSM amp models of Solid State, Tube and Tube Drive bass amps, plus natural tube compression Perfect size and power for mid- to large-size stages and concert halls Dynamics-sensitive "D-Chorus" effect Shape controls and three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange Amp settings can be stored in program memory for instant recall via footswitch 250W total output power using 15" speaker and high-efficiency horn tweeter Built-in DI with XLR and 1/4" outputs Simple operation with knob-based control This works fine (had a blast on it yesterday) but is a tiny bit cosmetically challenged (see pics). Asking price reflects this I hope. But it's definitely loud, no buzzing, and does the job admirably! PICKUP ONLY - Available for pick up at a friends address in North London (Finsbury Pk area) Pics! -

Tony Marinelli is just fantastic and played such a key role in the sound of Thriller. Probably the best tutorials on sound design on YT in my opinion...

As money is clearly not swishing around the economy with the abandon it once did here are some trade/part ex thoughts. trade for a Ric 4001/3/AVRI jazz/Geddy jazz part ex for a cheaper guitar plus 1k on top or so. Cheers, N

Very nice indeed. I've always gone back to Stingrays. Current core main basses both from '89

It's funny how basses get a specific smell. I have had a few nitro finished basses (excellent instruments and naming no names) that gave off the aroma of old socks. They were very funky basses though, mind...

Reactivation and a bump with trade ideas for my very nice ungigged DB112. After something to be twangier through essentially... -
Absolutely gorgeous bass but unfortunately not for me... I'll tweak my ad to say that I'm more after an 80s Status. -
Pretty sure it's a solo performance so will be acoustic guitar...no full band or bass playing I expect.

Yep - his bass playing is very unusual. The bass is fundamental to how the music sounds; lots of interesting pedals/suspensions/inversions. They always were a cut above, the Sprouts. And the early stuff is bonkers, in a very good way. Stingray ahoy...

Seconded - At their best, they're up there with the best of the best in my book.

Here's a bump - it's Paddy's birthday today. Martin is doing a nationwide solo tour in Oct/Nov performing his favourites from the Sprout catalogue (quite a lot to choose from). Paddy is still suffering from Meniere's I gather. What a fantastic band....and Martin's a Stingray man no less

@woodinblack Many thanks! First time for me to have someone trying to hack my BC account...
