    Selling this on behalf of a friend. This is the description he gave me:

    "It's a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 100 stack. The head is in great nick and the sound is as it was the day I bought it. The cab damage is mainly due to gigging; in and out cars etc but there is no damage to the speakers at all. It's probably seen action about 30 odd times but not in years - just been sat in my front room for the last 3 years or more! Cost £1350 in 2004"

    Sorry for the dodgy phone pics, but at least there's loads of them -























    For the stack including the channel changer/footswitch he's looking for [size=5][b]£700 collected from Portsmouth[/b][/size] - a meet up may be available depending where/how far from Portsmouth, but ideally collected from Portsmouth so you can see it working.

    Feel free to call him direct on 07872327288 and ask for Dave, or I'll be happy to act as a 3rd party to set up a viewing etc...

    Yay! Poll time. How many basses do you own?

    There should be a second part to this poll - "How many do you regularly use?".

    For the last 18 months I've done 95% of my playing on 1 bass and used only that bass live, for everything. Probably means I'm not very versatile, but why f*** around if what you've got feels and sounds great? This has only come after buying and selling a lot of gear in the 2 years leading up to buying it though.

    Drooled after Jimmy Lea's bass since the first gig I saw it at. After a nasty divorce & a fair bit of saving I traced John Birch who had semi-retired & he built this for me. He called me on a Sunday afternnon to tell me it was almost ready, two days later he was found dead in his kitchen.
    This is the last ever John Birch custom which he personally worked on.

    That's something special right there. Great pic as well.

    Always just one more... :)

    One of my other passions is mountain biking. On mountain bike forums the rule is:

    Ideal number of bikes = N+1 (with N being the current number of bikes)

    I believe this could apply equally well to basses. :)

    N+1 applies a lot easier to basses, they're easier to hide and all "look the same" :)

    Home built or bought?

    in General Discussion

    It's easy to spend a lot on custom home-built basses - parts can be expensive, and if you need help from a pro to put it together, their time can also be expensive. Resale value is the only reason I'd be more likely to put £1000 into a new Fender than £1000 into a custom build. I'm not saying the Fender would be better than a custom build, most likely not, just that the depreciation on a custom build would mean that I personally wouldn't want to put the money into it right now. Having said that, depreciation is the reason why I buy 90% of my gear second hand from here... and I own a very nice custom built Jazz bass that I bought off here for a good price.

    The only problem is that you can't insure musical instruments over something pathetic like £150. Never had an issue with them though - it's just a Parcel Force service.

    Cheap Acoustic Bass for a beginner?

    Unless there's some specific reason why he needs an acoustic I would say that a cheap acoustic bass will probably put him off bass for life.

    It's a different beast; can be difficult to get your hands around and play with any fluidity. Not ideal to start out with but I understand the reasons.

    Sissy & The Blisters - AVOID

    I should just make clear, as I've realised that I've not mentioned it before (but I thought it may have read as such), that when I say my guitarists 'amp', I mean his 4x12 cab + head. Just in case it's not clear, the lead singer of Sissy & The Blisters climbed up on top of a 4x12 cab with a head on it, that he didn't own, then fell off it kicking the head off at the same time.

    Hey, I wanted to hate this lot because of the twattery they caused, but I really liked the vid. I'm going to be contentious here and ask why your guitarist didn't clear his head from the stage? What does a Marshall head cost? A grand? A bet he wouldn't leave a £1k Les Paul up there, so why £1k head?

    [u][b]The singer seemed to be very much 'in the moment' as actors would put it, and his reality and spacial awareness would be very different to anyone watching[/b][/u]. When you say the singer was kind of apologetic, I should imagine he would be mortified if he'd broken your gear, and this shows in his embarrassment. When the guitarist was more challenging about your gear not being on stage in the first place, maybe he was right. When you were on stage, it was your space. When they were on stage it was their space.

    Don't want to have a row here, I know no one likes to have gear abused. Just want to offer an alternate opinion. The lesson I would take from this is not to leave anything valuable on stage when someone else is in command of that area.

    Were you there? Genuine question.

    I understand your point, but the actions of the band caused the promoters of the night to lodge a formal complaint with their national booking agent - in 7 years of promoting events this was the first time where they felt the need to make a formal complaint against a touring band. We didn't ask them to do this. The bands actions were dangerous and callous.

    This was a small venue with limited backstage storage - if you're a gigging musician you'll have come across many similar small pub venues. The amp was out of the way at the back of the stage - change over time was limited and they wanted to get on. It was out of the way and there was no reason to go anywhere near it. There was no justification for their treatment of the amp.

    It's pretty weird to hear another musician implying contributory negligence on the side of my guitarist for leaving his amp on the stage in this case; as if this goes beyond what is routine practise for gigs like this in venues like this.
