  1. [quote name='gypsyjazzer' timestamp='1410897698' post='2554521'] Many thanks Clarky for posting the video of Tim Watson. What a great player--great lines---swinging all the way + great band. Thanks for making my day. [/quote] Pleasure, GJ!
  2. Bump! PS, now have a suitable box so can post 48-hour delivery for a tenner on top
  3. yowza. Now that's porn
  4. [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1410742367' post='2552681'] my priorities are not the same as the rest of the band [/quote] Seems to me that this is the key quote in your OP. It is always sad when things start drifting apart but it sounds like you already know what needs to be done and - if you let it linger - the decision may well be taken away from you ... which would be even more upsetting
  5. Sorry, just traded these
  6. Drop thisnameistaken a PM as I am pretty sure he has talked about busking rocksteady/ska songs on his DB
  7. Gosh, possibly the most beautiful bass for sale on BC right now. GLWTS
  8. I have gone back to Velvet Blues as my boomy old bass needs good definition, especially when amplified. Thus selling off my surplus strings (including an as-new set of Zyex lights, see separate listing) I bought a set of La Bella Goldentones for the D and G tynex-wrapped gut strings, which are basically the same as the famed Golden Spirals used by so many greats in the 50s/60s (eg, La Faro) and most recently by the late, great Charlie Haden. He paired these with Spiro Mittel E/A but I find the tension of Weichs easier to handle so I paired with a set of Spiro Weich E/A. Together they sound very 'Beyond the Missouri Sky'. All four for sale at a more than fair price of £110 posted (Weichs will cost Euro 95/£75 at Bassico, which sells separate strings; you can only get Goldentones as a full set with metal-wound E/A for about £140 at Caswells). All are in excellent condition
  9. Here's a vid of some dude playing Zyex strings. In case unfamiliar, these strings are highly favoured by bluegrass players (eg, Missy Raines and Barry Bales, Alison Kraus' bassist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ZG5Uu20dM
  10. Got these today and A/B'd against Velvet Blues on my old boomy German flatback and they are just too dark and bass-y on my bass (it needs slightly brighter strings, especially when amplified). Cost me £138 [url="http://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/products/daddario_zyex_bass_set_34_lgt_-_dz610_34l?gclid=Cj0KEQjw1s-gBRCKwOKQ1sWonvsBEiQA8qALFSO03g_TQUQJKoJGkOTemkoA686k0mlEs95nZ2fTJCsaAhD58P8HAQ"]http://www.soundunli...TJCsaAhD58P8HAQ[/url] and literally no more than one hour of use. £95 posted (yay, another big loss!) For reference these are (to my ears) extremely similar to Evah Pirazzi Weichs
  11. Unless it's another lemon
  12. [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1410359840' post='2548537'] What's the etiquette here????? Does the person who guesses or recognises the previous list get to pick the next one or do people simply wade in with obscure choices on the hope that no one else knows their choice. [/quote] Apparently the former after my hideous faux pas
  13. I'll play. Here is the tracklisting for my favourite album of the moment: [list=1] [*]"Windfall" [*]"Live Free" [*]"Tear Stained Eye" [*]"Route" [*]"Ten Second News" [*]"Drown" [*]"Loose String" [*]"Out of the Picture" [*]"Catching On" [*]"Too Early" [*]"Mystifies Me" [/list]
  14. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1410344556' post='2548295'] Are those ones made in Scotland? Fife to be exact. [/quote] Nope they've moved production back to Italy, to Del Monte
  15. Beautiful. The early ones were (IMHO) more tastefully and carefully relic'd by the custom shop. Wish I had £2k spare
  16. New endorsees: [attachment=171362:the-banana-splits-tv-show.jpg]
  17. In typically 'green' continental European style, its also fully biodegradable
  18. Just traded basses with Gareth, getting back my old A/E fretless in return for a super nice JV Precision. Met up at Waterloo and had a brief natter and - as before - he is a very nice guy, super reliable and trustworthy.
  19. I've had a noodle on this very bass and its one sexy beast. Bump from me!
  20. The seller of the fretless has decided to take this bass in trade. Apologies Pierre
  21. Thanks Pierre. I am waiting to hear back from the BCer selling his fretless to me as he may take it in trade. If I do decide to post you have first dibs but I would rather hand over in person so I'll keep you in touch. For the moment I would prefer a London meet-up but if that changes you will be first to know
  22. Thanks Dave! I'll leave it a few days before thinking about posting - but if it comes to that I may well take you up on your kind offer mate
  23. I got this a few months back from Rick's Fine 52. He thinks there may only be two in the country with the large Fender logo (they changed to Squier after about a year I believe). Its very mojo'd but a thing of beauty to my eyes (sorry about the slippers in the close-up picture!) [attachment=171120:DSCF0905.JPG][attachment=171121:DSCF0906.JPG][attachment=171122:DSCF0907.JPG]
  24. I bought this super little combo from Bassgear only a couple of months ago and have used it for two small 'coffee shop type' gigs and a practice, as well as home use. Its about as new looking as its possible to get. However, having got my mitts on an ultra-small Crazy8 cab to match with my Acoustic Image head (which has more DB functionality than the PJB) its now surplus to requirements. Comes in a very neat padded shoulder bag which is a joy to bring to gigs. I don't have the packaging so for now its collection/meet-up in London. Would cost you £475-ish new including delivery so I will offer for [s]£390[/s] £370. Given its pretty new, little-used and in amazing condition, thats good value I think Bassgear link here: [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/bass-cub-bg-100-red/"]http://www.bassgear....cub-bg-100-red/[/url] No trades thanks. I am slimming down my gear
