That Elton gig must be cool. Dee Murray had a lot of nice bass lines.

In my band it`s the lead player who I have volume issues with. Last gig he played through a mic`d up Peavey 100 watt head and 4 x 12 cab belonging to the venue. At sound check he was far too loud and was told so by me and the very good sound man. He was complaining he could hardly hear the amp and I told him his hearing must be gubbed as I was wearing ear plugs and it was still too loud. The sound guy told him to use in ears in the future but that ain`t gonna happen as he needs "his sound" Funnily enough, I have no problem with drummer boy and he could do with hitting them a bit harder!

Where`s Paisley? The centre of the universe! 😎 It is but a hop, skip and a rather large jump from your fair city Mr D. It`s even your favourite colour. -
Still here. -
The thing is, by the time you add in say £25 for postage and insurance, it ain`t such a good deal for either party.

Just had the bass out for a check over and a play. Imo you cannot get a better bass for the retail price and as I am selling it for £50 less than retail plus it has a set of nice balanced tension strings that have done 1 gig and there isn`t a mark on it, it`s a bargain. But I would say that wouldn`t I 😊. Please feel free to come and have a shot of it, tea and chocolate biccys, most likely kit kats, will be provided. (Other biccys are available, though not as tasty!). Or a drive to meet up somewhere is possible.

I thought it was really good. The story of a band in it`s last outings as a live act.

****Now Sold**** As I am having issues with my left hand and am moving to using short scales, I have for sale only a Sire MM V3. The bass is in as new condition. It has a few changes: a set of Gotoh vintage style reverse tuners and I have changed the original plastic knobs for black metal ones which imo make the bass look a whole lot better. The original tuners and knobs will be included in the sale. It has an almost new set of D`addario nickel strings fitted.The original strap buttons will be put back on. The bass weighs about 4.5 kg. I believe that the pre amp is the same one fitted to it`s big brother which is amazing at the retail price never mind the price I`m looking for. No trades please and it`s collection only from Paisley where you can try it out or I`m willing to travel a bit to do a sale, just ask. A cracking Jazz bass in great condition, a great per amp with passive option for £150 less than a decent Squire.

There is a black passive model in a Glasgow pawn shop for £150. It`s in the window and I can`t really see what kind of nick it`s in.

Weekend bump.

Ta CM. I think that either it`s because it`s a bit porky or that I`m not keen on shipping it although I may have to rethink the shipping bit. And it`s a good price that won`t be going any lower. To be honest, the only reason for getting shot of it is I`m getting some problems with my left hand after hitting the muscle on the back of said hand, between the thumb and 1st finger with a 2 lb hammer 20 years ago. I`m going to get a decent short scale and see if the pain eases and if it does, all my 34" will be getting moved on.

Well Geddy is doing nowt and DC need a bass player 😆

Still looking for a new home for this piece of Yamaha goodness.

Used mine on a gig last night. Master volume about 10, put eq at noon. The sound guy asked me to boost the high a little and it was done. What I did find strange is the di seems to be effected by any changes in the eq and master volume, which some of you guys are also saying. No option for just running a flat signal but it`s no biggie. If it had been a problem, the guy could have used my or his di box but the sound - P bass into Rumble - was sorted in 1 min which equals a happy sound guy! This combo is so easy to get a decent sound out of very quickly.
-
At the price, it`s a bit of a bargain!
-
For me it isn`t a very nice bit(s) of wood for a natural body. I would cut him down a bit and get it painted if you love the sound. But maybe if you stick some paint on it, it might not sound the same? I think I would look around for one of the modern Classic models and get a s/h one of those.
-
Just to add, even though she is a bit on the heavy side, with a decent strap I have never noticed the weight. Now £400 collected. Can`t say fairer than that.

Combo amp? Size? Wattage? (newbie bassist question)

Fender Rumble 500 all day. Great sound, light, 350 watts on it`s own and you can stick a cab under it to get the full 500 watts. The 200 Rumble would be good enough for monitoring but the price difference between it and the 500 isn`t that great and I always like to have enough power for any eventuality. -
I had thousands of lp`s, hundred`s of cassettes (all gone) and still own about 700 cd`s. I still buy the odd cd but I mostly listen on Youtube or buy digital downloads from Amazon. I know lots of people don`t like the quality of mp3`s and years ago, when I had expensive separate hi fi gear, the quality of the sound might have bothered me but now I don`t really bother too much. It sounds good enough to these tired old ears. I will keep my cd`s as I spent a bloomin fortune on them and they are nice to have but I`m afraid the digital download and internet services have won me over. I remember buying The Unforgettable Fire and Brothers in Arms about 1986 and they were £15 each!

Thanks for your kind words, they really add something to this thread.

Price drop to £430.

Cool Dave. The dead live from 1972-1974 are my favourite. As you say, they rarely played the song the same way. I hope your singer fluffs the lyrics just to keep things authentic
-
Fender used to make a plastic protector type thing that covered the back of the guitar to stop buckle rash. It had some adhesive on it and was stuck all around the edge of the body. I have seen them on some vintage Strats. Terrible looking thing.

Your so vain by Carly Simon. Decent enough song but every time I hear her getting interviewed, she insist on refusing to name who the song was about. Get the message love. WE DON`T F......N CARE!!

I play in Her way to hell, the only female fronted Bon Scott tribute in Scotland, mabye in the UK. We just played Bonfest for the second year running, up in Bon`s birthplace of Kirremuir last week and went down well. The tunes are exactly as the band played them either on record or live versions that the band did, except of course we have a girl singer. This comes in quite handy as we can play all the songs in their original key and even ac/dc don`t do that! We don`t add in any fancy widdiling that wasn`t there originally unlike some of the other dc tributes, just straight ahead rock n roll.
