  1. I saw the singer Craig Finn solo in Bath earlier this year (with Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem). It was a good night, but I'd like to see the full band. Boys and Girls In America is a great album.
  2. Price drop to £350 - I've seen something I want!
  3. Hi, sold subject to collection at the weekend sorry!
  4. Selling my PRS SE Kestrel bass. It's probably the best made bass I've ever had, better quality construction than my US Fender, but at the moment I'm not regularly playing in a band so I'm just keeping my Jaguar and selling this to help pay off a few bills. Neck through, 2 Jazz pickups, all Hipshot hardware. Balances nicely and plays really well. Pick ups are a little noisy but sound good. If I was keeping it I'd probably get the cavities shielded to see if that helped. Great condition, I think I've taken it to three or four rehearsals and played two gigs with it. Includes the PRS SE gig bag, allen keys etc it came with. I added a PRS truss rod cover because the original said 'Kestrel' which was already on the headstock. I'm in north Worcestershire and I work in Coventry, so could deliver/meet up around those areas if needed.
  5. I saw this advertised recently for £175 and thought it was too good to resist. But it's my second EUB, and I should realise by now that upright isn't for me! There's a mark on the back of the neck where one of the foam inserts has been sticking out of the pocket in the case and eroded the finish, but it's not a big deal, you might just want to sand it down. Other than that's it's just general wear and tear, a few knocks here and there, some marks at the top end of the fretboard, but nothing too bad. I'm letting it go for the £175 I paid for it, including gig bag and two inserts. Bargain for someone looking to try out upright. I'm in north Worcestershire and I work in Coventry, so could deliver/meet up around those areas if needed.
  6. I've got a Kestrel, probably the best made bass I've ever owned, perhaps with the exception of an Ibanez Prestige. It's basically a neck-through Jazz, with a similar look to the S2 guitars. The pickups sound alright, but it is noisy. I plan to replace the pickups and wiring eventually. Everything else about the bass is perfect.
  7. Dancing In The Moonlight and I Want You Back are two of my favourite bass lines to play, but I'm a punk/rock fan, and this is the one that makes me turn the car stereo up every time it comes on, that fill at 1:20 is perfect.
  8. Finished work early yesterday and drove a 330 mile round trip to pick up a Fender American Standard Jaguar Bass (I don't trust couriers, too many horror stories on here!). I've always wanted a Jaguar since the original Japanese model came out, so when I could finally afford to treat myself I started looking for one and found there was a US version, only available for a couple of years. I found a couple for sale and went for this one. Looks great, is pretty light, and plays really nicely. Looking forward to figuring out the controls this weekend!
  9. ****** SOLD ****** Selling my HB Kahuna bass ukulele. Bought it to a company my father in law at his uke nights, but neither of us go anymore and I never play it at home. I'll take pictures if anyone wants them but there's nothing much wrong with it besides the few sharp frets and cheap ply construction that it came with! It's the version with the B-Band preamp. Not worth posting, so collection / possible meet up around Worcestershire / West Mids please.
  10. I am going to miss that neck! But there's a two bass rule in our house (not my rule!) and there's currently three after it's replacement arrived today!
  11. Consistency of tone for me. I always used to play with fingers in my punk band, and I got pretty fast, but especially when moving around onstage and playing harder when it was a poor onstage mix, I'd have some notes much louder than others, or with a different tone. Changing to playing with a pick kept that same tone and volume throughout the song. In my covers band I went back to fingers, because then I wanted to hear different tone for different parts of songs again, but that just wasn't required for punk.
  12. ***** now sold ***** I sold all my gear last year before moving house, and this was the first thing I bought afterwards just so I had a bass in the house, but it's just not getting played much now so I'm replacing it with something P shaped. I bought it from Bass Direct for £150, so asking the same. It's a lot of bass for the money! Very well made, better than the Mex Fenders I've had. Schaller Licesed Tuners, Hohner branded EMG Select pickups, active/passive switch, volume, volume and stacked treble/bass. Very shallow neck profile and a pretty flat fretboard so really easy to play. It's pretty heavy, but balances well. Very good condition for its age (early-mid 90s?). I assume it's made it the Cort factory as it's made in Korea with a C serial number. I'd rather not post at the moment (no case or gig bag by the way), but i'm near Worcester, and in Coventry four days a week and Shropshire some weekends, so meeting around the Midlands shouldn't be a problem!
  13. Thanks Kev! Enjoyed your set too, can never have many songs about dragons!
  14. My band The Fatal Mistake released our debut album in 2004, and gained a small fan base and some good reviews. We even got a release in Australia. And then we split up! We randomly met up at a gig a few years ago, and decided to get back together. We live hundreds of miles apart now, so recording has been a very slow process, but we've finally recorded our second album, out now on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, etc. Let me know what you think! https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/find-your-way-back/1381059534?uo=4&app=itunes https://play.google.com/store/music/album/The_Fatal_Mistake_Find_Your_Way_Back?id=Brfpctbzxu42atqnemu242dhcd4 (the odd scattering of profanity in a few of the songs, most streaming services say which ones)
  15. Bump and price drop to £375
  16. It does sound great in the hands of someone who can play it... but that's not me!
  17. Now sold.
  18. Bump
  19. [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Selling my 2014 ('120th Anniversary' inlay) Gibson SGJ.

[/size][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Good condition, these mark (relic?) really easily with the satin finish, so you can probably see a couple of fine marks in the photos, but it's never been gigged, I just bought it to play at home, so nothing major. Plays and sounds great. No postage as I have no hard case for it, so collection or meet up preferred. [/size][/font][/color]
  20. Hipshot BT1 detuner. Used, but good condition and I still have the packaging. There's one screw missing, but I used the ones that were on the bass already. £45 posted (within the UK).
  21. [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#1D2129]Good as new Zoom B9.1UT multi effects pedal. I barely used this, only a handful of gigs, it's a great pedal, does everything, but as I only ever use a bit of overdrive and an octaver it's overkill for my needs so I'm going to get something smaller. Also includes a Gator gig bag, and original power lead. I'd rather not post it due to weight and I haven't got the box anymore, so collection or meetup preferred.

  22. I'm selling my Sandberg Electra VS4. Sandberg's 'parts made in Korea, assembled in Germany' take on the MIM Precision, and it's definitely better quality than the two MIM Fenders I've had in the past. Sounds great, can be active or passive with a push/pull volume control. I've had a Hipshot detuner on it (for sale separately), and there's a slight mark on the back of the headstock where it's been (barely in shot in the last photo sorry!) but other than that it's a good as new. Despite the satin finish I don't think there's a mark on it. I've only gigged it a handful of times since everyone in the band seemed to be starting families just after I bought it, so it only gets used a couple of times a year now. No case or gig bag with these, so collection/meet up preferred please.
