[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1454493844' post='2970172'] Indeed.

However I recently saw him online playing as a sideman with Gino Vannelli on his 2014 tour (an uber hero from my youth- his voice just gets better with age). It was really refreshing and bloody good!

Maybe they're not wanting to mess the shop around ? If they live somewhere, and the shop is 100 miles away, it'd be a bit awkward trying to sell privately too. Selling through the shop they don't need to worry about taking credit cards and shipping etc. It's something I was considering when I sold ,my Modulus before Christmas. I was going to use Bass direct, but ended up selling it privately through Facebook.

You do realise that MI5 are probably watching this thread 😊.

I emailed him last night. I always for sorry for people when they're caught out like he appears to have been. Personally I wouldn't ever buy anything like a vintage Fender. I remember that Bass direct got caught out a few years ago.

I'm still loving my shoebox sized, 75 watt, 2 x 4" PJB Double four combo. Horses for courses, as they say . It's perfect for my jazz gigs.

Great bassist and musician. Here's a really nice video with some superb playing and music. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CKix__eaTU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CKix__eaTU[/url]

I can't believe that the guy would part with that sort of money without doing some homework first. It took me 30 seconds to discover that Fender didn't start building instruments in Mexico until 1990. He's got it from the States judging by the price that he says he paid for it.

I'd vote for the Korg Pitch-black too, though I personally prefer clip-ons, but appreciate why you're after a pedal.

If you buy one, make sure that it's a 2 truss rod model.

The P model has piezos. I had one, and stupidly, stupidly, stupidly sold it. It was an amazing bass. 22 years old, but fantastic.

A drummer friend of mine bought a special stand thing to enable him to use a floor Tom.

I've never really listened to either, isn't it a bit like comparing apples to oranges ?

I got this text earlier. It's from a drummer that I did a lot of gigs with last summer/autumn. Unfortunately I had to stop playing with the band due to my uni work. My typically modest and far more accurate reply can just about be seen in green .

I saw the bass you built recently for Yves Carbonne, looked amazing !

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1454328629' post='2968564'] No Van Morrison either...... [/quote] Well that's a relief . It does look good, I'm definitely going to get a few. I have a few vinyl albums, even though I don't have a player. I was lucky enough to fulfil a lifetime dream last year, and have some of my stuff released on vinyl. There's something magical about them. A decent turntable is high on my list of things to get.

[quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1454281598' post='2968283'] This piece is magnificent in my opinion. I love it mate. [/quote] Thanks ! It's weird doing stuff like this. You finish it and it's such a relief, like a weight has lifted off you. I just hope the examiner likes it .

Nice ! I'm all for bass not sounding or being played like 'it should'

I tried a Hexabuzz bass a few years ago, it was quite simply amazing. Nice video.
