  1. I wonder if they actually read the replies ? I'm selling an M-Audio keyboard on Gumtree, I had yet another email this morning, Basically the same as before, is it still available. I replied yes it is, they replied great then I will take it, however I can't come personally because I'm deaf and in a wheelchair.....etc. I replied no problem, I want it to go to a good home, someone who'll look after it. You will make sure to feed it twice a day, and take it for a good long walk at least once a day won't you ? Their reply, yes no problem, please let me know the collection address and PayPal details 😊.
  2. Don't agree with number 1. It may apply if your aim is to play in a chart band, or metal band. For most pro musicians who are out gigging, teaching etc, the opposite applies, just being able to slot into whatever gig they're offered.
  3. I've got 2 sales ads on gumtree ad the moment. I had similar emails within hours of placing each advert. This was despite stating cash on collection only.
  4. Now includes shipping within the UK, just for this weekend .
  5. [quote name='JuliusGroove' timestamp='1467425136' post='3083637'] I do have that actually, I struggle with books sometimes. Always feels like a cold way to learn.. Needs must I suppose! [/quote] Have a look in gumtree or elsewhere. See if there's someone near you teaches H and T. It'd something I teach, but I'm in Birmingham,
  6. [quote name='JuliusGroove' timestamp='1467412974' post='3083607'] Well then I'm follow up, how do I get my harmony chops together! [/quote] If books are your thing, then this is good [url="http://www.shermusic.com/1883217040.php"]http://www.shermusic.com/1883217040.php[/url]
  7. My worry would be do I get the same one back ?
  8. Never let someone pay using PayPal and then collect it. You're leaving yourself open to be ripped off. PayPal need a track able means of shipping.
  9. I got this text a while back from a drummer in a jazz band that I dep for. [attachment=222560:12651023_466263476915252_8043306969545913635_n.jpg] I've been told a few times by people that they know I can play pretty much anything, as long as I have a chart/score in front of me. Bare in mind that I prefer to do reading gigs, cos I'm too lazy to learn stuff, that's pretty good I guess.
  10. I've done some shows at Birmingham Rep. I just went straight into a DI box. For my one experimental project I just go into my MacBook via an Apogee One, the line out from the Apogee goes straight to the PA.
  11. [quote name='ped' timestamp='1467278972' post='3082425'] No doubt a great piece of history but I think it's one of the fugliest basses I've ever seen! [/quote] I was worried I was alone 😄
  12. It;s good practice to transcribe other instruments, not just bass. Something I did a couple of years ago was transcribe piano parts. That really helps with hearing intervals. Bill Evans and Robert Glasper etc, it's a bit frustrating to start with, but very rewarding. At uni we had to do drum parts too.
  13. Why do you need to be so loud in a rehearsal ?
  14. An excellent, and very easy, hassle free transaction .
  15. They have that effect on me too. I think they could actually produce a really good album, if they put their minds to it.
  16. Did you really need to go through the pa ?
  17. This is in excellent condition, and works faultlessly. It's a little too heavy for me though. £100 including UK shipping.
  18. This is just a couple of months old, and is in as new condition. I still have the box and all packaging, instructions etc. It's an amazing keyboard, the action is extremely similar to a 'real' piano. I've tried several other keyboards, and this is by far the best. Some details :[list] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]Performance-grade 88-note hammer-action keybed with 4 selectable velocity curves provides natural feel and playing response, plus on-board pitch bend and modulation wheels for expressive performances[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]8 MIDI-assignable knobs, 9 MIDI-assignable 60 mm faders, 9 MIDI-assignable buttons for controlling DAW parameters, virtual instruments and more.[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]6 dedicated transport controls for comprehensive DAW control without reaching for the mouse[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]Innovative DirectLink automatically maps controls to popular DAWs including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase and more.[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]Class compliant, plug-and-play functionality and USB powered specification for simple user-friendly setup.[/b][/size][/font] [/list] It is extremely heavy, so it is collection from Birmingham only. £150 ono.
  19. [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1466607349' post='3077194'] Gave BD a call trying to source a box for posting a bass and was told they don't provide this sort of service? [/quote] I guess they may need them themselves. Try halfords for a bike box.
  20. Not in any particular order. Michael Manring Steve Lawson Anthony Jackson Alain Caron Tony Levin
  21. It's fine with my Roscoe 6. It's sold now 😊
