  1. Just gorgeous! The 5 string brother of lozbass' lovely sonic blue LG4
  2. [quote name='lozbass' post='1331821' date='Aug 8 2011, 10:59 AM']Bump (and smile) - lovely, classic and super-desirable bass[/quote] Thanks Loz! So my cunning plan to relieve you of your sonic blue AC fell on stony ground
  3. Additional px or trade option: Alleva Coppolo Jazz 4-string only in 'classic' colour (sunburst, sonic blue etc)
  4. A bit obscure but I would potentially entertain a trade plus cash my way for a Takamine B10 fretlless acoustic as the latter would come in useful for my new acoustic blues quartet spinoff from Rattlin Bone
  5. [quote name='gapiro' post='1328971' date='Aug 5 2011, 05:05 PM']pm'ed[/quote] and replied
  6. [quote name='Sonic_Groove' post='1328467' date='Aug 5 2011, 11:20 AM']Barry doesn't play fretless (just nice use of effects) But Davy Jay yes used a pick on his Fless a lot. Some of Carles Benevent's stuff is on fretless & he uses a pick. Rule 1 --- There are no rules!!! B[/quote] Isn't this fretless playing by Barry Adamson? If not, sure sounds like it!
  7. The previous sale of this barely-used Midget T cab fell through as the tweeter housing was damaged, we believe by the courier company en route to my original buyer, Mr_Bassman (Keith). Alex at Barefaced has kindly taken the cab back and restored it to as-new condition and is holding it for me. As I am the happy owner of a Compact this Midget is surplus to my needs and up for sale again now that it is in perfect working order. Please note the cab will be dispatched to the buyer directly from Barefaced. As before its £475 posted including a custom padded cover. I am currently abroad with only sporadic internet access so this is more of a heads up. I will be back and able to deal with this mid-August.
  8. Didn't Barry Adamson (Magazine, The Bad Seeds) and David Jay (Bauhaus) both play fretless basses with picks?
  9. I've sold maybe 15 basses on BassChat. If the price is right and the advert makes clear what is and is not acceptable then your bass will sell. These are unusual times, though, and money is in short supply so that quality basses that would have been snapped up 12-18 months ago (like yours) are now languishing on the FS pages and getting bumped endlessly. PS. Would you part with a grand without asking questions first? Perfectly reasonable to get lots of questions, although I admit that lowball offers always annoy me or offers that are clearly pointless (eg, would you sell me your custom shop Fender for £500, a Warwick amp and a Squier Affinity?)
  10. [quote name='dan2112' post='1321043' date='Jul 30 2011, 04:24 AM']Clarky.....where did you find that picture of 'ol Jeff? That's a mate of mine with him in the picture!!!! Mr Berlin's never been the sharpest dressed man....[/quote] Just googled! All-over denim and high tops, what a look
  11. I like the TH500. Its a good old school sound - I am not sure the hi fi slappers (you know what I mean) would be so keen, but for meat n potatoes rock and old style funk/R&B its great - I will be sticking with mine PS, good luck Phil, will pay you a visit after the summer
  12. I would love to have a go on one of these. Might help my dodgy fretless intonation with the shorter scale and sounds wonderful from the various YouTube clips
  13. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rob-Allen-Mouse-30-Fretless-Bass-/140584861821?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20bb82c07d#ht_500wt_1156"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rob-Allen-Mouse-...d#ht_500wt_1156[/url]
  14. [quote name='steve-soar' post='1319864' date='Jul 28 2011, 10:52 PM'][attachment=85856:martyn_casey.jpg] Martyn Casey. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.[/quote] Good shout Steve but Simonon aces it for the hat
  15. For floppy hat, flares and glove-wearing it has to be Nigel silddx Otherwise I'd go for Paul Simonon [attachment=85841:Paul_Sim...mg_6701b.jpg] ... and DEFINITELY NOT this guy [attachment=85842:kev_and_...f_berlin.jpg]
  16. [quote name='Adrenochrome' post='1318981' date='Jul 28 2011, 08:42 AM']...and I've got a basic Aria PJ fretless you could borrow if that'd help you get through a gig.[/quote] Kind offer but I know Keith has a PJ fretless (my old one!) so I guess the damage is bad enough that he can't play any bass in the next week ...
  17. He must really have placed a lot of pressure on the neck for that to happen ... or he had a bad case of woodworm. Either way, I know I'd be utterly bummed if that happened to my lovely Kolstein DB. Looks like this guy needs to bring a Fender bass as backup to future gigs!
  18. I can't help out Keith, unfortunately, but just wanted to wish your hand a speedy recovery. Sorry about the iPad too - will insurance cover it? All the best, Clarky
  19. [quote name='Earbrass' post='1318211' date='Jul 27 2011, 01:17 PM']I've recently gone from being the bassist in a Pagan heavy rock band to playing melodeon for a morris side. Do I win a prize? [/quote] We do indeed have a winner!
  20. He tried to sell his Alembic Spoiler a few months back on eBay (I got offered it on the second chance basis when the buyer didn't divvy up, but I had already spent the money!) Derek emailed me and was really charming
  21. I have moved from death/thrash metal (2005-2007) to punk (2007-10) to voodoo swamp blues (2010+), in the last case shifting to double bass. Am now rehearsing an all-acoustic spinoff of my latest band, featuring only four of the 14 (!) members. Thats quite a shift
  22. [quote name='TheGreek' post='1316198' date='Jul 25 2011, 08:20 PM']If this sells does that mean you will be Wal-less??[/quote] Yep - its not that I am not wowed by the fretless (it really is the best fretless I have ever played), its just too much money tied up in an indulgence and I have overspent on DB gear
  23. [url="http://www.coda-music.com/index.php?cPath=27_247"]http://www.coda-music.com/index.php?cPath=27_247[/url] This looks really nice, an aged 62P in vintage blonde [attachment=85623:fender_p...nt_white.jpg] The 64 surf green Jazz looks cool too [attachment=85624:64nosjazzsurfgreen.jpg]
  24. Status Hotwire half-rounds are really nice, and thats coming from a long-time TI user. To all intents and purposes they feel like low/medium tension flats but I think they have a bit more 'bite' and fractionally more under-finger friction. They are also cheaper than most of the strings mentioned above, including TIs ... which is nice
