    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1339796591' post='1694725'] The new Paolo Coelho. These words read almost like 'The Alchemist' in resonance and life-meaning [/quote] Only problem is I thought 'The Alchemist' was a right load of old bollocks

    [quote name='Louis.m' timestamp='1339796380' post='1694720'] Please, please, go out this weekend and meet people in real life. Come out of your Internet lives .... [/quote] The new Paolo Coelho. These words read almost like 'The Alchemist' in resonance and life-meaning

    So sad. I am sat in a brothel, posting on my iphone while a score of Asian hookers cover me in snake oil and I've made a million pound profit on some baked beans I bought earlier. Who's the mug here?
  6. Clarky
    You bought it for nothing then. Good score

    The simplest thing is to amend your OP or close this and start a new thread after you have decided what your price is. If you join a forum and want to take advantage of it's favourable terms ( avoiding eBay/paypal fees) then you have to abide by the rules that clearly state that an auction is not acceptable. Personally, I believe in " my word is my bond" and if I had advertised at £400 and received an offer at that level I would have felt honour- bound to accept it. Whatever you decide, a back search of the For Sale forum will quickly tell you that previous transactions on Jaguars have not happened above £500. Edit: too late!

    Bump for trade options ^^^^ Could also bundle together in a good deal with my 1990s G-K 200MB combo (the forerunner of the M150 'Microbass' combo range)

    Update: I thought I would stick with this and bought the matching Rockbag off Thomann for transporting it http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockbag_rb23002.htm (£38 plus post). However, having tried it at rehearsal, I still prefer the absolutely transparent sound of my Acoustic Image Ten2 combo and so I am re-posting this for sale. I will do the combo plus Rockbag for £250 collected in London

    Nice duo, covering Stingray and Jazz sounds

    Don't need another bass but would potentially trade for US or CIJ Fender possibly with cash adjustment if appropriate

    Adding to what Bob said, I put a Kent Armstrong mag p/u on my Kolstein so that I have the choice between piezo (a Planet Wing) or mag, depending on the venue/gig. The KA actually sounds quite woody and authentically double bass-y, certain it has more of a DB vibe than a fretless vibe.

    [quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1338282920' post='1671956'] No. [/quote] Tough Monckyman, here's some more! Vicente Amigo again. This guy is (to use Mrs C's vernacular) bazzing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8IxZhxgnvw

    [quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1339535466' post='1690272'] And when it finally fizzled to an end, there was a 2 hour drive home in the rain to look forward to. [/quote] Love it. I am curiously reminded of this fabulous scene from Father Ted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnZDI1slxMI

    Was pointed to this by our guitarist. Its just beautiful. 'Nothin' by Townes Van Zandt, a deceased Texas folk musician. Has a real vibe of the Johnny Cash version of 'Hurt' but predates it by many years http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZcH2OOMV4A

    If I am to offer a suggestion of a bass player whose style and tone I can't abide (and leaving aside Clutterbuckery as its just showing off at music shows) it would have to be Fieldy of Korn. I genuinely enjoy all sorts of bass playing from straight-ahead pumping 16th note punk (like DeeDee Ramone), to rock, to Motown, to walking jazz lines to Bernard Edwards-style funkiness but that awful cacophony of detuned slapping funk-rock is unlistenable to me Edit: he is of course richer and more famous than most of us on BC will ever be so my taste proves nothing!

    Surprised I haven't been nominated yet. I'm enthusiastic but sh*t!

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1339511992' post='1689590'] Poor toilets and delays getting in and out at a Festival...NSS? [/quote] The point of my OP was that the organisation of Download was (in my eyes) dramatically worse than the Reading and Sonisphere festivals I attended last year. Your 'NSS' comment was uncalled for but, whatever, its the internet

    I've used Lights which are nice but still slightly more tense than my favourite non-steels (Innovation Silver Slaps). I am guessing the Ultralights would be the easiest to play (especially as a relaive newbie) but I have no direct experience - maybe someone else can chip in here? The alternative is to pick up a cheap piezo pickup (from BC DB forum or eBay) and then you have the choice of any string

    Couple of no-headstock pics (courtesy of Beedster) to whet appetites [attachment=110198:DSCN0973.JPG][attachment=110199:DSCN0966.JPG]

    Looks like a Krivo mag p/u to me (a small US manufacturer who sells on eBay, amongs others if you google). Perfectly decent mag p/u For strings that are compatible (ie, have steel core) and low tension, the ones I would go for are either the low tension Presto Nylonwound (which feel like gut) [url="http://www.kontrabass-atelier.de/saiten_e.html#nw"]http://www.kontrabass-atelier.de/saiten_e.html#nw[/url] or all-steel Kolstein heritage [url="http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product_details.cfm?ProdID=2304"]http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product_details.cfm?ProdID=2304[/url]
