    New pics taken today showing new s/p and thumb-rest - very dark today unfortunately so not the best pics but you get the gist [attachment=67859:P1000960.JPG] [attachment=67860:P1000961.JPG]

    Hi, I bought this only a couple of months ago but am struggling with the J width neck - a possible fretless P may be heading my way so I am putting this up for sale to help pay for it. Its a CIJ 1962 reissue in a creamy vintage white with both chrome covers and is in very good (9+ out of 10) condition. The serial number dates it at 2005-2006 but it looks very nearly like a new bass. It has a very clean, lined/dotted rosewood neck and is strung with TI flats. It has been modded since the picture below (which comes from a previous FS thread by cardinaljay, hope thats OK?) by the addition of a more authentic 60's style tort scratchplate (made by the Bass Doc) and an ebony thumb-rest in the 60s position. I paid £420 plus £20 post (if memory serves me correctly) and the mods have cost me another £40, excluding the strings. Comes with a beat-up old hard case. I am asking £450 ono and will give preference to a meet-up/collection in London as Mrs Clarky's patience for waiting in all day for Interparcel pick-ups for me is at an all-time low!

    I'm sure Mark would be delighted to put this misunderstanding behind you both and sell you a Berg

    [quote name='wotnwhy' post='1070138' date='Dec 27 2010, 02:26 PM']If a man takes a loaf of bread to feed his starving family, is that stealing? If a man is sat on a bench and there is a car parked nearby with a cd playing and the man taps his foot along to it, is that stealing?[/quote] Example 1 is a life-or-death situation and example 2 does not involve taking permanent ownership of the music. Neither, with respect, apply in this debate IMHO The examples you gave above of the two bands employing creative use of fanbase targeting and offering free downloads are great - but are both consensual. Its non-consensual downloading I was referring to when I used the emotive word 'theft'

    I do find it interesting how people are happy to apply different principles to music downloading/file-sharing than virtually any other form of goods. I consider it theft, period, whether or not there are niceties about whether it is the receiving or giving of said music files that is strictly illegal in the eyes of the law. There is obviously one exception - if music was specifically made for downloading/sharing by artists that wish to pursue this approach to building a fanbase/whatever, then of course thats fine. But the vast majority of artists are having a portion of their livelihoods stripped from them without their consent, I would guess. Does any of us like earning less, all else equal? Old curmudgeon sits back and waits to be flamed by the more enlightened members of BassChat .....

    That got to the recent record for super fast selling of a bass! Nice one, by the way

    Hello

    Clarky replied to HeyHoLetsGo's topic in Introductions

    [quote name='HeyHoLetsGo' post='1069822' date='Dec 26 2010, 09:36 PM']Hi, my name is Brad and I'm from England. I have a Stagg XB300-GBK and I very recently got myself a BOSS ME 20b (still trying to figure out how to use all its functions and buttons and everything). I have no idea how long I've been playing bass - not because I've been playing for ages and I'm some sort of God, but because I have a rubbish memory. I'm mostly into punk music, I hope I will get along well with the forum and enjoy my time here. [/quote] Welcome Brad, blimey you look a lot like Dee Dee from your sig pic

    Hmmmm, I see you have a nice little business going with these caps lock keys [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-Pro-Keyboard-1-x-Single-Key-Caps-Lock-Button-/230396427724?pt=UK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories&hash=item35a4b27dcc#ht_2459wt_922"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-Pro-Keyboard-1...c#ht_2459wt_922[/url] I am going to report you to eBay for selling the same item through different channels and not offering paypal on your BassChat sale. Bet you don't feel so smug now, con man.

    Trade for some lightly used Christmas wrapping paper?

    Mrs C gave me the second-hand Bacchus 62 Jazz in my sig ... well I bought it but she said it was from her and thats good enough for me

    Without doubt the highest quality instruments I have owned - but had to sell my last one - a Spoiler, one of the more basic models - due to weight (and mine was not one of the heaviest Alembic, at 11 pounds!) The craftsmanship, woodwork, electronics etc were something else. At some point in the future (not immediate) I will own another one if I can find a Spoiler nearer to 9 pounds. I expect lozbass will be along before too long to chip in here as I guess - along with jazzyvee - he owns the most Alembics on BC ...

    The opening 'jazzy' bass line to Boogie Nights by Heatwave. Nice little warm up exercise methinks. Here's the tab [url="http://www.911tabs.com/link/?4728545"]http://www.911tabs.com/link/?4728545[/url] Great outfits! And nice Orange rigs (bass nerd time)

    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='1068723' date='Dec 24 2010, 01:33 PM']Thanks mate I'm going to save myself a lot of bother by just asking you everything in the first instance as it's generally you who gives me the answer anyway!! MODS- is it possible to get an "Ask Clarky" button on my profile?[/quote] The yoda of BassChat am I

    I did a thread on this a while back Nick [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=103316&hl=stand+nitro"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=stand+nitro[/url] I have ended up with T-shirts on a Warwick Rockstand. The only ones that are 'guaranteed' to have non-reactive foam (as far as I can recall) are Hercules stands but I don't like the hanging ones (unstable in my view) and the portable gig one has nothing to prevent the bass tipping forwards

  19. Clarky
    Yeah, I think G & (no) L basses are grotto by comparison
  20. Clarky
    I heard he dropped his Fender and moved to a G & (no) L for his Sleigh-er tribute band
  21. Clarky
    I am pretty happy with my gear. I could potentially upgrade the fretless if a good price Tony Franklin or sunburst Precision fretless came up for sale but that's it. A more active year gigging tops my wish list, rather than gear

    [quote name='Truckstop' post='1067969' date='Dec 23 2010, 05:12 PM']Bah! Drove up to Bassdirect today because I wanted that G & L, but also really wanted to try that 2nd hand Fender '83 FL P. If I liked it I woulda gone for that instead! But, alas, as I was walking towards the hallowed orange unit 12 door, I noticed a distinct lack of footprints leading up to it. I tested the door anyway but no, 'twas not to be! Bloody weather!! Truckstop[/quote] Actually, Mark hid behind the door as he had just read on BassChat that you really like Mistletoe and Wine by Cliff Richard!

    I predict you would hate Pyramid Gold flats which have a lilac or pale violet colour to the silks. Even the metrosexual Happy Jack thought they looked camp on my Precision!
