  1. Jake actually said in an interview that the MW is based on a Newport: "I also have the Midwestern and the Midwestern II, which are short-scale basses influenced by an old Epiphone design—the Epiphone Newport, back from like the early, early ‘60s, when they were still making them at Kalamazoo. So the Midwestern is kind of like a modernized version of that." https://reverb.com/uk/news/found-on-reverb-serek-basses-vintage-modern-mashups Either way these are fabulous basses. GLWYS
  2. Probably means you have used up your allotted space for attachments. Click on your BC profile and scroll down to your attachments. Then delete a load of old, no longer relevant pics. Should fix it for you (I think!)
  3. Hey Nick, are you sure that isn't a pic of BassDirect's showroom?
  4. At least its Fender Shaped Objects, rather than Fender Related Objects .... as FRO could cause offense
  5. Guessing its Fender-shaped object? Either that or Flatulent Sheep Owner
  6. Another string deal with Tim and again all good!
  7. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175060602267?hash=item28c26ccd9b:g:IB8AAOSwmoxhxIuv
  8. Now that I think about it, yes! Put them on my now-sold Serek bass for a short while but went back to stock DR Hi Beams
  9. This is what a short scale set of Dunlop flats look like. Do the silks match yours Nick?
  10. This is ludicrous. I'm out and I am using the luxury of the ignore button.
  11. Funny. When I googled Confederate Flag, the first thing that came up on my feed was the ADL 'Fighting Hate for Good' website, listing it as a hate signal which has become associated with/coopted by white supremacists. But if thats not offensive, what do I know?
  12. Even if not well executed its clearly supposed to denote the confederate flag (or is the name 'Rebel bass' a complete coincidence?) And if enough people think thats what it denotes (I clearly am not in a minority of one), it will cause offense. That was my point.
  13. 3 strings too many for my agricultural style of bass playing but WHAT A WORK OF ART!
  14. La Bellas sold. Only Dunlop 40-100 short scale flats left, good condition barely used on 2+2 headstock Serek Midwestern, £20 posted (new £45+)
  15. I used exactly the same rig at my last gig, which was one week before the March 2020 pandemic lockdown (the upstairs music room of the famous Olympic Studios in Barnes, which is now a cinema downstairs). Sounded fantastic and the volume was probably only on 1 or 2! GLWYS
  16. I wouldn't pay a premium for Alan Davey's bass. However, he is a very good player if somewhat heavily inspired by his predecessor Lemmy. Take a listen to Right to Decide from the album Electric Tepee for some prime Lemmy 'Space Ritual' type bass lines
  17. Mike bought a rather luverly preamp off me. Whole deal was as smooth as a snake. Top stuff! Many thanks Mike
  18. My eyesight must be shot as both this and the bass on eBay appear to have chrome hardware to me!
  19. Gotta say - in the interest of fairness - this does look like the bass (pic from 2014)
  20. I am going to trademark a new website: Guiarchat
  21. To save you the effort: "Rickenbacker Bass Guiar(used To Be Alan Daveys From Hawkwind). I bought this of hawkwind ex-bass player roughly 5 to 8 tears ago I had a letter stating the I bought this of Alan davey its a fire glow rickenbacker Bass guitar,which they don't make any more but I,ve misplaced it somewhere and it was signed by Alan in the letter so if I come across it I'll put it with this beautiful guiar,there,s not a mark on this fantastic jem,it comes with his psyedelic warlords and tombstone aroma stickers that and hawkwind fans might recognise plus it was used on a few of his solo albums..sorry about the photos not doing this bass guitar any justice as they were taken of my phone "
  22. Description takes some beating https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154798317333?hash=item240ab2df15:g:Pq0AAOSwylRh5CE9
  23. Matt bought some DR Sunbeam strings from me and all was grand. Cheers!
