  1. Fantastic song and bass line, especially for those of us who grew up with Chic, Sister Sledge etc
  2. My first gig with goth/post punk band The InSect is on Friday at the Dublin Castle in Camden. Onstage about 8pm. https://www.facebook.com/events/248170544468197 Edit: We have been bumped up to main support act, so onstage around 9pm now

      Played there Saturday afternoon. Not the most spacious of dressing rooms but did enjoy the general old-school roadmonster vibe. Beefy monitors!

      'dressing room' :lol: yes it is a bit compact and bijou, isn't it! 

  4. Well it looks like I would have to drop the best part of £1k to get this fabulous bass sold, so I am going to hang on to it and enjoy it when my left hand is fully recovered
  5. Here's a glowing review of a Lincoln by Lobster, so you can hear what the pickups and controls do
  6. Back up FS as I am still not using it and its too much money to be tied up in a beautiful, hand-made objet! Resigned to losing a chunk of change on this but try me with a very close offer - or p/x for s/s Serek MW or Wilcock Mullarkey/Bisonic (not the one with Stingray pickup though)
  7. I just bought an Origin Effects Bass Rig from Paul. It arrived safe and very well packed and the minty condition is exactly as described. Top BCer! Many thanks, Paul
  8. Or play it safe and go for lower tension Spirocores. Plenty of players (eg Miroslav Vitous) like the 3/4 Solo set downtuned to orchestral. This graphic shows the relative tensions
  9. That annoying moment when you buy a Big Muff pedal from GAK and - on delivery - you discover the box (correctly labelled as Bass Big Muff) in fact contains a guitar tremelo pedal. Grrrrr

      Return it with half a brick inside.

      Fortunately GAK were quick to contact and offer to send a replacement plus a free collection of the erroneous pedal. So, all in all, a nuisance but dealt with quickly by GAK customer service

  10. if available still, please PM me with payment details. Cheers! Clarky
  11. Well I got the gig (had to learn 11 original songs) and the guitarist told me that the effect in the OP was some sort of Big Muff
  12. Indeed, I am not spending on a pedal(s) unless I actually get the role ... but am being an optimist with this thread! For the audition, I will use my EBS Valvedrive with the gain right up ... oh and - as advised - be witty, charming, erudite etc 😀
  13. Because bassist has left. I am auditioning
  14. Hi all. I need to recreate this bass sound from London goth band The InSect. Any idea what pedal(s) maybe being used here? Many thanks in advance
  15. Can also throw in some Roto Trubass black nylon short scale flats for a none-more-black look
  16. Maybe this JMJ refinned in sherwood green metallic nitro would float your boat? Seems like it was modded with care and attention to detail https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275929984807?epid=15037201791&hash=item403eb56f27:g:smUAAOSwDzFkoG~S
  17. Bought as a backup to my Serek MW. However, I don't play it much as I prefer the uber skinny neck profile on my Serek. The usual SG bass specs (30.5" scale, brown lined hard case) except its in the less commonly-seen ebony gloss nitro finish and I upgraded the 3-point bridge (which is safe in the case) with a superior Hipshot Supertone (>£100). Nice weight at under 8 pounds. Some shallow surface marks in nitro finish, mainly from a previous owner's pick I assume but nothing egregious, I'd give it a solid 9/10. Currently wearing wearing DR Hi-Beam stainless steel rounds but I can throw in some flats for Jack Bruce type thump. Big saving on new (especially given bridge upgrade) at £850 collected/meet-up (SW13, south of Hammersmith Bridge) or add courier at cost (will be in region of £25). No trades. PS, any 'patina' in pictures is dust or finger marks, which the black gloss nitro finish seems to attract!
  18. The @Lozz196 of 2022 (before he went short scale) would have been beating a path to your door! Absolute beauty
  19. If learning to read music, you can thank me later
