  1. [quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1388321233' post='2320681'] Lovely, is there a website for the company? Cant find anything on google. [/quote] Buscanti basses are made by a couple of guys in the US. One of them is a member of BassChat, username jazzyitalian. Here's his contact details: http://basschat.co.uk/user/5210-jazzyitalian/
  2. I had a set of a Gut Twin strings from Ivan at Cordes Lamberts last May but sold them on as I didn't enjoy the feel (they felt a bit plasticky to me but then I don't slap so I wasn't really the target audience). I would drop a line to Ivan at [email protected]. He responded to my emails (not immediately, mind you, normally took a couple of days)
  3. Very impressive. I like this guy's playing a lot too, Nicolas Dubouchet http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=janofZdKJHA
  4. HNY to you too Chris. Seriously, this is an excellent combo that will work superbly well with virtually all basses. GLWTS matey
  5. This is one fab amp. It's light, versatile and high quality. Sounded great with my double bass and Fender basses, just not quite enough EQ for my BabyBass which needs high mids squashed as it's a singular instrument. Fine price for a superb conbio that works well with most basses (just not my BB!)
  6. Mike bought a bass tab book off me - all good
  7. Isn't the issue likely to be phasing of the two pickups if you don't have the right preamp/mixer? Since K&K do a blender for a rockabilly set (piezo on neck [for clicks] and on bridge) I would assume that could cope?

  9. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1388039190' post='2317989'] Really nice looking bass Nick. What is the nut width please? Bump. [/quote] I can answer that Karl, its 1.625", so its halfway between a Jazz (1.5") and a late 50s/60s Precision (1.75") and the same as the current US Standard Precision
  10. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1387984796' post='2317728'] If Slipknot ever need a Reindeer they need look no further. [/quote]The Clark household comprised reindeer, lamb, cow, pig and penguin. Slipknot would have run away in terror
  11. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1387971656' post='2317603'] Great! Just needs a mask [/quote][attachment=150943:$(KGrHqZHJFcFF2YHNkTEBRjmhp6lQg~~60_35.JPG]
  12. My new look [attachment=150939:1508409_10202826089152713_648827741_n.jpg]
  13. Here's a before and after shot, showing what the Flitz did for the brass on my bass [attachment=150928:$T2eC16ZHJIcFHOrnFz+iBSfdk6Be,!~~60_57.JPG][attachment=150929:post-2944-0-02113900-1386600229.jpg]
  14. Good work! I just cleaned up years of tarnish and gunk off the brass bridge on my recently acquired Alembic with Flitz paste (its what Alembic recommend for cleaning brass components) Link here, £7 http://www.transtools.co.uk/accessories/polishing-and-buffing/flitz-paste-polish-for-metal-plastic-and-fiberglass-50g
  15. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1387835875' post='2316396'] No chance - he'll be at The Emirates. [/quote] Correct. Back after a frustrating game, soaked to skin and having had to listen to some of the worst throwback 70s neanderthal football thugs "chanting" on the tube about Auschwitz, Hillsborough and "breajking your f*ckin neck". Mourinho must be so proud Back on topic, I'm (gasp) not GAS'ing for anything bass related, so wasn't me
  16. Nice one Dave and Mrs Dave! Lovely news

  18. [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1387711635' post='2314742'] Can you post a pic without the ashtrays? Ta. [/quote]voila [attachment=150810:10672195165_c68b76a637.jpg][attachment=150811:10672200505_d2d9972a01.jpg]
  19. Owen you could always nip over to music-outlet-shop to pick up this fixer-upper bargain http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50s-FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-UPRIGHT-ELECTRIC-BASS-/121223651642?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c397e213a Or maybe not
  20. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50s-FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-UPRIGHT-ELECTRIC-BASS-/121223651642?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c397e213a Just missing all hardware, bridge, electronics .... err, its basically little more than a plank of wood!
  21. Bargain price for a superb DB combo, bearing in mind the amp head (which is removable) will run you more than that alone. Price list here (the 2-channel combo is now about £1500!): http://www.acousticimg.eu/AI_UK_RETAIL_PRICE.pdf
  22. I recently traded this with Nick (my damaged left hand needed a slimmer Jazz type neck profile). It is a stunner and looks like it left the factory last week, not nearly 20 years ago, and has superb upgrades (with original bridge and pickup should you wish to restore to stock). Highly recommended
  23. I have recently been listening to 'The Geese and the Ghost' by Anthony Phillips, the pre-Hacket guitarist for Genesis and its a great reminder how important he was to setting the tone for early 70s Genesis as well as a virtual-Genesis album (Mike Rutherford co-wrote quite a bit of it and plays on it, vox are by Phil Collins). If you like Trespass and Nursery Cryme this will be right up your street Here's a nice YouTube compilation of the album plus extras: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EffLIs0PpKU[/media]
  24. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1387529342' post='2312892'] Both my RB5s weighed roughly 5Kg which is why I sold'em. Agreed that they balance well, but balance will only get you so far. Eventually, physics kicks in ... [/quote] wot does say it weighs c8.5 pounds which is pretty light in my book
