  1. TRADE FOR A FENDER AMERICAN VINTAGE 62 REISSUE JAZZ? Edit: dang, got there before me, WoT!
  2. Just did an amp trade with Lozz (his Terror Bass for my TC Classic 450). Thoroughly friendly guy and even braved the dreadful weather to drive 25 miles from his neck of the woods to my house in London to do the swap. Like the guys above say, highly recommended and trustworthy. Cheers Lozz!
  3. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1064690' date='Dec 20 2010, 02:55 PM']Erm ... I did. Just ignore me. See if I care.[/quote] Did someone say something? [attachment=66838:14tumbleweed.jpg]
  4. El bassissimo, if you please (I'm bored too)
  5. OK, Norwegian jazz time! "Topplue Votter and Skjerf" by Terje Rypdal, Miroslav Vitous and Jack deJohnette is a truly beautiful, haunting track (which makes me think of fjords and misty mornings, but thats just me!). But what really makes it is the double bass playing by Miroslav Vitous, which I think has to be my favourite ever piece of DB playing. Here is a link to a free (slightly lower quality than MP3) version. Just click on "Prelisten Track" [url="http://ligamusic.com/Lyrics/2943917/Terje_...f/download-mp3/"]http://ligamusic.com/Lyrics/2943917/Terje_...f/download-mp3/[/url]
  6. Phwoaaarrrr Can't afford it but have a bump on me
  7. ^^^ This until recently, except I was very impressed with 51m0n's demo at the BassBash of how to beef up a bass sound in a noisy band context with a compressor. So I have acquired a Demeter compressor and look forward to giving that a try out when my punk band finally finds a replacement drummer.
  8. 'Yesterday is here' by Tom Waits (my band Rattlin Bone does a cover of this live). Beautiful
  9. and replied Trade pending
  10. Not-bumped-this-in-a-while type bump Christmas offer £410 posted, £400 collected from central London. It really is pristine (you can double check this with chris_b who played it recently, I'm sure he wouldn't mind )
  11. I can't believe this is still available. If only someone would buy my Ferrari ...
  12. BassDirect has a fretless passive Wal for £1699 - [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Wal.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Wal.html[/url] - but its been in stock for a little while now
  13. An in-betweeny would be D'addario chromes - they do 45-100 and 50-105 gauges (I use the former) and have higher tension than TIs. They are quite bright to begin with (you can even slap them) but calm down after a while and sound typically flatwound [url="https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/1284-d_addario_4_string_ecb_chromes_flat_wound_bass_strings_ecb80_ecb81_ecb82_ecb84_ecb81s_ecb81m_"]https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/12..._ecb81s_ecb81m_[/url]
  14. I used to have a rare one where the factory mixed up the logo - said Cap sLock instead of Caps Lock. Sold it to a Japanese collector for $2.5m Also sold another mistyped one, saying Cal Spock, to a Californian trekkie for $747,000
  15. Hey Nick, I use the Mono gigbag and am very happy with it. A good compromise between soft and hard cases, nicely ergonomic, and lots of storage space in the pockets.
  16. Oops, and another deal with Chris! Just bought his Bacchus 62 Jazz which is a lovely thing indeed. Another happy BC buying/selling experience with Chris.
  17. In your 80s
  18. This thread may help [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=114673"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=114673[/url]
  19. [quote name='Platypus' post='1059080' date='Dec 14 2010, 10:24 PM']Shame to have to let that one go, mate. hope things inprove for you soon[/quote] +1 Best of luck Howard. That's an absolutely lovely looking bass
  20. These are rubbish. I tried to open my front door with one and it didn't work. Call it a key? Fraudster
  21. I hear the new Fodera Caps Lock key will come in around the $1,800 mark
  22. Fender CS Pino Palladino [attachment=66399:0158200840_md.jpg]
  23. I give it a week Chris before you are back to two. Then you can re-title this thread I HAVE TWO BASSES.
  24. [quote name='Jesso' post='1057617' date='Dec 13 2010, 06:26 PM']Looks nice. What does she weigh captain?[/quote] If I may help? The OP says "Weight wise it’s round the 9lb mark" PS, beautiful bass, old cliche but I doubt this will hang around for long!
  25. [quote name='lowdown' post='1057080' date='Dec 13 2010, 11:26 AM']I shot off the morning after my wedding[/quote] Its not uncommon
