    [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1340900195' post='1711314'] Clarky this is up your street ,suit your Takamine..................... [/quote] I reckon it would be up my street. Trouble is I have an Acoustic Image combo for my DB, a MarkBass combo and an Acme 2x10 cab .... so it would require a total re-vamp of my rig which I am just too knackered with gear trading to do!

    Rather than start a new FS thread why not answer these good folks questions, seanee? Cracking amp for double bass, by the way. Best of luck with sale

    Another deal with John, this time he bought a GK combo off me. As ever, excellent, straightforward deal

    [quote name='Toasting' timestamp='1340788929' post='1709498'] Thursday 7.30pm at Hammersmith works a treat for me. May the sun shine on you. [/quote] OK, there's a McDonalds next to the exit from the Piccadilly Line. C u outside that at 7.30pm tomorrow but I won't be eating there
  8. Clarky
    Actually I could do about 7.30pm at Hammersmith on Thursday (tomorrow) as flying off Friday at crack of dawn. Let me know which day works best
  9. Clarky
    Although I am indeed heading off to Italy in next couple of days, If you can get to Hammersmith tube station tonight (about 8pm) I could meet you there and lend you back your old combo, Jamie? You would have to hang on to it until some time around middle of next week

    Gerald bought my MarkBass F1. He paid mega-fast and was top class with communications. Recommended

    Low morale?

    Clarky replied to Kiwi's topic in Site News

    [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1340544071' post='1705841'] There seem to be a lot of people on here that seriously object to non-university educated minimum wage underclass scum such as myself being on the forum. [/quote] I hope that was a joke

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1340480986' post='1705178'] Hmmm, the band have asked that I play double bass only going forward. This potentially changes matters as regards my Takamine B10 which may just have become redundant. Need to re-think so the Rob Allen is on hold for now. [/quote] If I am only gigging DB from now on with the band, my logic for selling the Rob Allen over the Takamine flies out the window. Don't want to make a silly mistake here (given how hard it is to get hold of a Rob Allen this side of the pond and how nice it is to play) so I am withdrawing this from sale.

    Low morale?

    Clarky replied to Kiwi's topic in Site News

    I periodically unsubscribe to OT and I think its about time I did so again. That said, I don't think there's any more of a morale issue now than there was 1-2 years ago, say. Every so often someone feels motivated to post up something that is just guaranteed to be contentious and it just so happens this tends to go in batches but thats always been the case IMHO. The general economic climate is obviously not conducive to partaying day and night and that probably colours things.

    [quote name='Peaty' timestamp='1340366912' post='1703394'] Went to a choir festival to see my kids sing this week. The base player in the accompanying band was playing one of these and it sounded great. [/quote] Cheers! Sunday morning bump

    Those red suede and leopard print brothel creepers you were wearing last night just have to be seen on stage, Sean!

    Looking to sell my MarkBass F1 head as I have picked up a CMD121P combo. I bought it off top dude BC'er Gareth Hughes in February (I think) and - bar a few minor cosmetic scratches on top (perhaps from having a preamp sat on it?) its in excellent condition. I have subsequently acquired a Markbass padded gigbag for it (from Thomann; here's a BC thread with another F1 pictured in the same model of gigbag [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/168468-markbass-f1/page__p__1554859__hl__markbass%20f1__fromsearch__1#entry1554859"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1554859[/url]). In total the amp plus gigbag cost me about £490 inc post and I will sell for £450 all-in (ie, amp + gigbag + post within UK).

    [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1340453564' post='1704613'] Public FB album - the quality of photos on FB is crap, I'm afraid. I'll be happy to give you the original files, Clarky, should you like any of the shots. [url="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150978889469207.445806.528729206&type=1&l=7ef4530905"]https://www.facebook...=1&l=7ef4530905[/url] [/quote] Great photos Silvia! Thank you so much for this and glad you enjoyed the gig. Oh and Sean, its true I do have ....

    On the grounds that the Stevie Wonder clip I posted above is a bit fizzy/scratchy sounding (mine sounds warmer in real life) here's another clip of a Rob Allen which gives a more representative impression of what a Rob Allen sounds like (this is the short-scale Mouse model but they are very similar) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iWt-0qTydE

    Couple more pics [attachment=111184:RA2.jpg][attachment=111185:RA-ThumbRest.jpg]

    Thank you Silvia for coming along - and of course Sean, Wayne and Alastair! Nice photo

    See you all later!

    Here's a guy playing one to a Stevie Wonder track for example [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIf2O22p5oc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIf2O22p5oc[/url]

    Well it has one tone only and thats a woody, piezo tone. So it sounds 'quite' like a double bass but not exactly. Its not, for example, nasal or middy. Its more rich and rounded... but with a piezo you get out of it what you put in, so your playing style can change the attack and decay of each note. Think of it as a piezo fretless and you will get the best idea of what it sounds like.
