  1. Pierre Moerlen (RIP) & Mike Howlett... A Sprinkling of Clouds
  2. Great irie vibes man
  3. Awesome basses these, I got a 96 a few months back off here after regrettably selling my 98 some years ago, these 90's wicks are top drawer ...and I love mine. Such a lot of quality built bass for the money, worth twice the price - have a bump GLWTS
  4. I had a great VM 4 string, but I'd still choose a Sire tenfold over a VM, the preamp is certainly worth it for the change alone
  5. Congratulations , such great basses with brilliant preamps. The low B's are superb too. Hope they will do Precisions with a jazz neck
  6. If it has utility 😱
  7. Ah my apologies, try this https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B06Gf693ZhUOSq
  8. A forgot about this bump. Will take offers 🐰
  9. It's looks like the original seller was from Totnes (Devon) you do know that Totnrs was once twinned with Narnia? Although now I hear it is closer to Area51 ...totally off topic but it looks a nice bass
  10. I've been doing it for the last 3 years around Devon & Cornwall and love it. I've even dropped a day off my day job and top up my salary with music, awesomeness! I'd say I am averaging around £500 per month after expenses. Pros: Generally good crowds, get fed well, money is decent, good band mates that are supportive, dep bank sorted for time off, been to some amazing venues and sometimes we've been offered free accommodation. We also hire our PA which is a bonus extra £100 for whoever wishes to stay behind at a gig. Become better and tighter with my playing and it has bolstered a bit of improvisation skills for when the moments right. Have fun with some tunes too - ie putting our spin on things! Cons: Tinitus, late nights sometimes, next day fatigue- a challenge if you have children, awful first dance requests, jazzer pro deps who clearly don't learn the set and as aforementioned waiting around. Got to say though I love it 😻
  11. Lindy Fralin...simply the best....and probably most expensive
  12. Gigging (mostly weddings & functions) has enabled me to reduce my day job from 5 to 4 days...and next years calendar is filling up too! Plus excess wedding food leftovers often means the fridge is never empty - especially for cheese - what's not to like? 😏😋
  13. I was there at Bristol last night...my mind is blown - amazing, a new favourite band for me too 😀
  14. Would you ship to Libya ?
  15. [quote name='Waddycall' timestamp='1443890352' post='2878541'] The asking price is just shy of £600 so I think I'll give it a miss. Thanks for the help. Pete [/quote] My 96 Vette with the thinner wenge neck, brass nut was priced at £550 and easily worth that if not more. I'd have thought a 2005/6 would have had the thicker Ovankol neck? I sold a 2005 Ash body as I didn't like the chunky Ovankol neck, I think it was sold around £350 ish...a lot of bass for the money. The MEC pickups I find a bit weedy though, I modified mine with Bartolini's.
  16. Quite funky & certainly very unique. Fits USA EB, Sterling SUB https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B06Gf693ZhUOSq £22 posted
  17. Been running a Markbass LMT800 most weekends for the last two years, weddings & functions- great piece of kit and very reliable considering I've dropped mine a few times. I've owned loads of amps and I wasn't even a Markbass fan but this one has taken me by surprise and I cannot fault it 😃
  18. Sorry to hear you're having to move it on so soon Steve. If you decide to sell the cover separately let me know. If not have a friendly bump. Steve is a top chap to deal with folks, deal in confidence.
  19. [quote name='JAUQO III-X' timestamp='1443310546' post='2873830'] Sire will be releasing a 5 and 6 string version of the M3 very soon. The model is called the M7. [/quote] Wow, that's awesome- any idea on release dates? 😎
  20. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1443354338' post='2874028'] I regret selling my sire v7,might get another one day [/quote] I considered trading mine a while back...that was until I took it too rehearsal with my 'other' band and now it's back to 5 string with that outfit and the Sires staying!!!
  21. [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1443267036' post='2873499'] Not yet, but it's on the cards. [/quote]me too eventually , although I'd love it if they do the M3 as a five string
