  1. It would be great if the enthusiasm for the composition competition was also transferred to more music in the 'Recordings' forum. I put up a link a month or so back to a fabulous EP by Jigster's post-rock band Those Among Us Are Wolves and only two BCers commented. Yet there are endless pages of largely repetitive, pointless debate on Flea v Wooten, Fender vs non-Fender etc. Come on BassChat, raise your game! Ps here's TAUAW http://basschat.co.uk/topic/205809-recommended-post-rock-ep-from-bcer-jigsters-band-those-among-us-are-wolves/
  2. Some really excellent stuff here. Shouldn't say what I've voted for but I will say - for me - it was a tough call between discreet's fantastic pumped up trance-come-Tangerine Dream and Steve's beautiful atmospheric six-string work. But honourable mentions for all, really top music from top to bottom of list
  3. Fab, the Rev Solo will also be in the post tomoz
  4. Thats great, thanks Keith I have a FC on my flatback and its very good live, especially at higher volumes. I have an Ehrlund on my Kolstein which sounds very microphone-like and hasn't let me down on a gig or rehearsal yet - but our album launch gig is too important not to have a backup pickup!
  5. Hi Keith, that would be great - assuming the FC is right for your bass. Are you sure you want a Rev Solo in place of Bass Max as spare?
  6. Last call or I will have to place an order for a new one?
  7. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1372260905' post='2123559'] The Frog Stamp pedal is incredibly rare ... [/quote] Behringer do a cheap clone called a Toad Squish
  8. I lent my spare piezo pickup, a Revolution Solo [url="http://www.uptonbass.com/Double-Bass-Pickup-Revolution-SOLO-II-RS2/"]http://www.uptonbass...on-SOLO-II-RS2/[/url] , to another BCer for six months or so and got it back last week. I had forgotten that its too large to fit the wings on my Kolstein travel bass ... and I don't fancy shaving the wood casing down. However I do want a back-up piezo wing pickup in case of problems with my Ehrlund contact pickup. So ... 1. I can offer a Revolution Solo pickup as a trade for a BassMax or Shadow SH950 2. Or failing that I would like to buy one of the aforementioned, if someone has a spare Unfortunately time is of the essence as we have rehearsals next week for our album launch gig on 8th July and I would like to test the backup pickup in a band environment. I will have to buy new if I can't sort a deal with a BCer quickly (ie, today!)
  9. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1372195127' post='2122829'] Come on people, this is an amazing bass. Looks fabulous, has amazing woody tones, mwah for days, heck it even smells good! [/quote] Thanks Gareth! So ... anyone interested here?
  10. Mark bought my 1963 Precision. An utter gent throughout. Clear communications, superfast payment and all conducted in the friendliest manner possible. Cheers Mark and I hope you now have "the one"!
  11. The live album with DiMeola, Lucia and McLaughlin is Friday night in San Francisco http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=DvVmqnNBo9w&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DDvVmqnNBo9w
  12. Steve bought some flatwound strings off me, all good, couldn't have been easier!
  13. If it helps, I assume you are in Camden Rob (hence name) and the Bass Gallery must be very close - they will refret a fretless for about £200 and do a superb job
  14. Addendum - I include £10 postage cost within UK. Post to mainland Europe would be about £20-25, ie, all-in cost about £390-395 to France/Germany/Belgium etc depending on fast or economy service
  15. Sorry but in answer to a couple of PMs this is sale only. I already have too many amps (four) which is why this lovely piece of kit is for sale!
  16. Bump. Hard to find anything as tiny as this with as much power - 2.3 pounds delivering 550W of clean, quality amplification
  17. Looks like this is sold pending the usual
  18. maybe its not the cost but the bureaucracy and paperwork? in any case, Francis Deck has made his design openly available for people to copy. Perhaps Orchid/A.N.Other are missing a trick here?
  19. fdeck don't have a CE mark (or whatever the European official designation is for a tested instrument) and its proprietor Francis Deck can't afford to spend the money to get one. As a consequence he sells to the US market only. Hence you need a middle-man to get one outside the US
  20. Trial didn't work out so this is still FS. I have a couple of BCers with 2nd and 3rd dibs but in case they drop out, just flagging this up

    obbm's feedback

    A big thank you from me too - Gareth (walbassist) had a trial of my Fender A/E fretless and it developed an electrical problem. Dave re-soldered and tidied up all the electrics, all at no charge as we were both BC'ers. What an absolute gent and a star!
  22. In case anyone interested, Vicente Amigo is playing at UNion Chapel, Islington on 24th September. He will be playing his flamenco/celtic fusion project Tierra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06o459Z59zE
  23. takes 2-3 weeks as Francis Deck is a one-man band who has to send his pedal to caeman first, who will then send on by the always-slow US postal service. But a very useful preamp and - as I mentioned - caeman is a friendly guy. I f you can't get hold of him I believe bassace (Roger) got his via Talkbass' drurb as middle man (his real name is Les and he seems to be one of the more senior/respected DB players there)
