    Had this up for sale before but thread has been locked (I have requested it be unlocked). Need to raise some money so up FS again at same price £700 collected. Grteat for DB emulation.

    I have an as-new NY 121 cab that I bought as an extension cab for a MarkBass CMD121P combo and have never actually needed or used. Comes with fitted custom cover. Together they would cost just over £500 new. I would sell for [s]£350[/s] £325 collected (from London). Hopefully my feedback speaks for itself so when I say its in superb, virtually unused nick you know I speaka da truth.

    Great choices Betafunk, I used to listen to Pop Group and ACR tons back in the day (saw ACR live in 1981, fantastic). Both those bands led me to this lot, 23 Skidoo who for a brief period in the early 80s were really superb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn0DkUKN8k8

    Playing my first ever DB gig with former band Rattlin Bone, to a big and appreciative crowd .... never having played DB live before and having broken my left hand in a couple of places only 17 days before. To get through the gig, and to see people dancing and smiling throughout, was just such an incredible buzz Stills from the gig here, incorporated into a YT video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFFwE0Njt7g

    PS I thought you had some Silver Slaps from me in return for the Danny T strings? Maybevthey are still sat in your spare string drawer?
  6. Clarky
    Super Silvers are higher tension (still only medium ish) than Silver Slaps, maybe that what you were thinking of? The difference between Silver and Golden Slaps is purely cosmetic, the Golden ones are more gut looking to me whereas the Silvers are rather translucent white looking.
  7. Clarky
    Btw, Mike, Silver and Golden Slaps are identical gauges/construction but just different coloured

    Ian bought an EA Micro amp from me. Super-fast payment and good comms. All excellent

    FYI, BCer Harry has one FS on the forum at a better price, in case anyone is after a 501 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/212698-epifani-ul-501-newer-smaller-model-price-cut-to-l550/

    On of my all-time fave BassChat basses. AC's are special basses and this is one of the very best looking ones ever made IMHO

    [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1375305002' post='2159627'] [i]is it the same bass as this [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARIA-PRO-II-SB-1000-1980-/321163362561?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4ac6d40101#ht_79wt_1255"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARIA-PRO-II-SB-1000-1980-/321163362561?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4ac6d40101#ht_79wt_1255[/url][/i] [/quote]different wood grain pattern Gareth and Wallasey is a long way from North London where the seller resides if I recall correctly from the 61J for sale thread

    For the avoidance of doubt, I wouldn't even begin to advertise the workshop as technique-related (I can't bow for example, I just do pizz and there are tons better DB players than me, including proper pros like Jakenewmanbass, Roger/bassace and Mr Bassman/Keith - by comparison I am Sid Vicious) I was thinking about just talking people through the practicalities of gear choice, how to amplify, how to solve onstage problems (feedback etc). Basically what you need to start gigging DB as an electric bass player
  14. Clarky
    PS, I did offer to do a practicalities of DB gear and gigging workshop on previous page (copied below) but - bar Jazzneck - have had no response to this. Its fine if there's no interest but please let me know either way [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1375091822' post='2156492'] I could potentially do a 15/20-ish minute workshop on "Practical considerations when moving to double bass, gear needs and solving on-stage difficulties" or such like? Would this be of interest? I warn I am still basically rubbish and a blagger at DB but I have done a fair amount of gigging and know the practical issues, so this may be of value to some considering taking the plunge [/quote]

    Cool, hope to make this one John

    Couple of days to go bump

    A nice old Fender J or P A woody-sounding fretless A nice old double bass A gig-friendly EUB Alembic SC (Std or Brown bass) I have 1-4 but not 5. If anyone has one at a decent price, PM me (I was 50 last week and didn't buy myself a pressie )
  18. Clarky
    [sup]£1800 is cheapest online price now and most retailer prices start with a 2 ....[/sup]

    Might be as well to drop him a PM (assuming that sends an email to his computer) as he hasn't been on BassChat for over three months

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1375168038' post='2157362'] Crikey, just checked out the AER Basscube, they're not cheap are they [/quote] Well he can probably afford it since he only paid a tenner for 'Victoria', his 1800s Gand double bass, about sixty years ago!
  22. Clarky
    OK Peter, I hear you, many thanks for your advice. To be honest, it echoes what others have said on TalkBass so I think I will indeed stick with a mixed Spiro/Oliv set. It has settled down nicely over the past week and I am really enjoying it
  23. Clarky
    Hi Rabbie, I did have Spiros on the bass (and in fact the E/A are still on it) but I was beguiled by all the talk on TalkBass about how the Oliv G is the ultimate G ... and along came a friendly neighbourhood BassChatter selling a G and a D for decent price. I very much like them altough i suspect I will be much less keen on the Oliv E (especially) and A. Still why not give them atry, if someone is selling for a reasonable price? As it happens I don't think I will get an offer here so I will almost certainly stick with a mixed Spiro/Oliv set
  24. Clarky
    argh, yet again I am away. Keep the London gigs coming and i will be there when I am not either gigging or off abroad on biz/hol
