Last price cut to £1500 + post. If it doesn't sell at this price I am keeping it -
[quote name='Jigster' post='965018' date='Sep 22 2010, 09:41 PM']there's a very nice vintage guitar shop in Stockholm - I remember turning left by a bridge somewhere!! [/quote] Unfortunately I won't have time for fun tomorrow. On Friday, however, I am in Copenhagen and have an hour or two kill in the afternoon before flight back to Blighty. So if anyone happens to know any cool bass shops in Copenhagen ...

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='965008' date='Sep 22 2010, 09:36 PM']Just lend it to me for a few years and see how you feel then?[/quote] What, you mean after you have re-finned it in neon green or checkerboard

Today's bump is brought to you from Stockholm where I am told Tom Jones is gigging tonight. He obviously did not know I was available for bass duties ....

Are any bass stands safe for use with nitro finished basses?

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='964511' date='Sep 22 2010, 02:26 PM']so getting marks on it from your guitar stand is probably not worth worrying about.[/quote] Except when you are trying to sell the bass in question! -
Just sold Stewart a Radial DI Box. Paid fast, great comms. Very pleasant transaction. Cheers!

Looking over the FS boards, its evident there isn't much money floating around. I appreciate £1500-odd is a lot of dosh so I would potentially consider another part-cash trade as long as the cash was in the majority. Not really trying to add to my bass collection but I would consider a vgc s/h 2008/9/10 (non-S1) American Std Jazz (only in oly white or sunburst) as part-ex. Very specific I know but I don't like many colours, only want a USA Fender (snob), and I have a lovely P bass already.

That phase of my life is over, jon, I'm back in London And Jigster, Kenny were a sh*te teeny band post Bay City Rollers and had a hit with "The bump" - chorus "there's a new dance that is going around called the bump, its the bump ..." etc Yep, it hasn't survived the test of time too well.
-
Hey Jigster, surely you recall the Frech version of the 1970s classic by Kenny: "Venez tout le monde, fait le bump ..."

The Fender CIJ 70 reissue Precision has an intermediate neck that is between traditional P and J width and is very easy to play. Cracking bass, recommend you check these out. Appear with some regularity on BC

Thanks for your thoughts JV! I will ask Sims about how they paint clear vs colour. The Bass Gallery in Camden has just taken in a used cocbolo SC Deluxe, for those interested in top end Alembics. Just appeared on their website.

[quote name='TPJ' post='962231' date='Sep 20 2010, 02:44 PM']Interesting. Which pup is it?[/quote] I presume its the Shadow 950? [url="http://www.contrabass.co.uk/sh_950_pickup.htm"]http://www.contrabass.co.uk/sh_950_pickup.htm[/url] I just bought one from steviedee on BC this morning

A lot of 'name' DBers (Ron Carter, Christian McBride etc) recommend the David Gage Realist [url="http://www.realistacoustic.com/realist_flavors.php?type=bass"]http://www.realistacoustic.com/realist_flavors.php?type=bass[/url]

Thanks gents. I also contacted Mark at BassDirect this morning who advised me that my TC450 Classic and TC112 cab should do the job well, as long as I keep control of the lows. I will stick with my rig then for the time being and see if it works out before committing to any more spends!

I am going to attempt to resurrect my DB playing (whioch has been dormant for years now) but I have no amplification (I used to have a Polytone but flogged it on BC in 2008). It struck me the PJB Briefcase might be a useful addition to the Clarky household as I could use it as a practice amp for my electric if it also was handy for my DB. So does anyone any experience with a PJB Briefcase and DB? Thx Clarky

Daily bump plus pointing out £50 price cut ^^^ There's an 'ono' there too!

Big difference between purple and lilac, according to Happy Jack

Just downloaded your EP and singles. DB lines are (no disrespect!) very straightforward. Where/when do you rehearse?
-
Like the music! I live near Hammersmith and have a DB but I'm much better on electric bass unfortunately ... mind you your bass lines are not too tricky ..... Perhaps you could tell us where/how often you rehearse and how often you plan to gig etc

[quote name='Beedster' post='961171' date='Sep 19 2010, 01:42 PM']interestingly I picked up a Jazz gig? i think some of the punters mistook my poor timing and errant tuning as mastery of that genre[/quote] Ha ha - I so hope Bilbo reads that!
