    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1320270528' post='1424747'] That was nice. [/quote] and £1500 IIRC, whereas my '53 Relic is £750

    Thats a lovely bass Rich(ardd) and the guys above seem bang on to me. OT but great to see you back on the forum, other Rich (OTPJ)

    My '63 P (year of birth and all that). Since this picture has had a period-correct celluloid tort pickguard added [attachment=92461:5537787931_fa689f35a9_b.jpg]

    Thanks Keith! It does need good speakers to really 'feel' the bass and the brass section

    I don't play it but we have a sousaphone player in our band I can put you in touch with if you wanted to pursue this? He plays for my lot, Rattlin Bone, plus the Top Bananas, the UK's only stilts-wearing brass band (true) Here he is in 70s disco garb [attachment=92441:disco1med.jpg]

    You cynic, Machines! One has a transfer of Tony Butler's name and the other doesn't. Big difference

    Its out! If you click on the link to our website here there is a free player so you can take a listen. Its more funky than our usual stuff and has a really earth-shattering double bass sound, IMHO [url="http://rattlinbone.com/2011/who-do-you-love-2/"]http://rattlinbone.com/2011/who-do-you-love-2/[/url] Background: "Who Do You Love?" was originally written and recorded in 1956 by Bo Diddley. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song as #132 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time on December 9, 2004. The song was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2010.

    How much?

    Clarky replied to Stanpig's topic in Bass Guitars

    [quote name='Stanpig' timestamp='1320232069' post='1423968'] How much would you say is a reasonable price for a Fender CIJ Fretless Jazz 62 re-issue? It's in incredible condition. Just a few marks on the neck from using roundwound strings. [/quote] IIRC I have seen these go generally in the £400-500 range depending on condition etc. Right now, the market is rubbish so probably £400-450 is about right. One BCer has been trying to sell one of these (with an added preamp) for close to £500 for some time now with no joy

    "Dear John, I have just dropped around five grand on the theft of my car and an unexpected tax demand. I am trying to raise money not spend it, hence two gorgeous basses for sale in my link. Therefore you will have to find somebody else to buy your very pretty DD bass. Yours sincerely, Clarky"

    Thats a serious bargain at £600 for one of the nicest Jazz basses I have ever played

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1320188922' post='1423689'] I'm sure Clarky won't mind if I borrow his thread [/quote] Not in the least mate. Its a very DB-like vibe and looks great IMHO, very gypsy-jazz/Maccaferri/Selmer-like. Best of luck with the sale, Chris

    Going to take a guess that Andrew briefly thought about selling his Yamaha TRB5 and then quickly relented

    Speaking of which Master of Puppets is always a good pick-up-bass-and-have-some-fun line
  14. Clarky
    In case oldslapper doesn't buy this, I can add that I was the original owner and its a truly lovely Jazz with the very best of Fender QC. The buyer will not be disappointed with this
  15. Clarky
    If we're talking lines I love to just casually pick up my bass and noodle along to, then The Magnificent Seven by the Clash, Stagger Lee by Nick Cave, and Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding probably top my list.

    [quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1320067623' post='1421787'] Do they have a bass player? [/quote] It was meant to be a joke
  17. Clarky
    [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1320076617' post='1421982'] I think it sounds more like a Fender with mutes under the strings than an upright. [/quote] +1, really doesn't sound at all like a double bass to my ears. There's no woodyness or growl, its all thump

    Sorry, already in another thread - and yeah its bollix! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159160-best-bassline-of-all-time/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159160-best-bassline-of-all-time/[/url]

    Closely followed by White Stripes' 'One Nation Army'

    We have a new single coming on Wednesday 2nd November to mark 'Day of the Dead', called 'Who do you love?' Its much more bum-shaking and funky than our previous material and as soon as its available I will post a link here. For now, as a taster, here is the artwork [attachment=92272:385487_10150354128923106_236361988105_8581661_1317421933_n.jpg]

    The car is costing me more than I thought - plus got hit with an unexpected back tax bill - so these are back up FS I won't keep bumping these every day as I am not expecting buying interest in the current market. But if anyone stumbles across this thread they will see that the basses are available. May also try eBay
  22. Clarky
    Another local bump - surprised this hasn't gone as it's probably the most powerful yet lightweight cab FS on BassChat right now
  23. Clarky
    Bass sounds good to me too. Nice work
  24. Clarky
    wow, looks awesome - Mr Foxen would probably describe that as serious doom
  25. Clarky
    Isn't that just a trick of the slightly upwards angle of the photo? Its exactly along the top edge of the board (there's no binding as evidenced by G board edge). He is bending the A slightly away from the E so the gap looks artificially large
