Decided to keep this for now. I have a pristine MarkBass Minimark 802 Bass Combo that I am looking at moving on. I bought it in February 2017 from GAK. Due to an arm injury (I have both tennis and golfer’s elbow – go figure…) that has stopped me from playing bass this year it has only been used on a couple of occasions for light practice. It has not been gigged and has been living at school in my office and still has the sticker on the grill: [url="http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/minimark-802/"]http://www.markbass....l/minimark-802/[/url] Please see pictures here – I forgot to push the handle down when I took the pictures. It does, of course, go down. I don’t have the original box. I’m in Lewes, near Brighton. 15 minutes off A23 No trades thanks as money raised going towards Flea Jazz Bass. They are rather nice… Cheers Mr RLP

I'm rather liking the following at the moment: Tom Waits - Soldier's Things - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNwC8ETa0pg"]https://www.youtube....h?v=rNwC8ETa0pg[/url] Didn't realise it was featured in Peaky Blinders. Upright bass serves the song. Scott Walker - [font=sans-serif]The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime - [/font][url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-zgdGQB4S4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=N-zgdGQB4S4[/url] Wow! Isthis Herbie Flowers? Sounds like tracks on Melody Nelson [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3C4AVbqyY8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=a3C4AVbqyY8[/url] Kate Bush - Mother Stands for Comfort - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRnT9_eSVYM"]https://www.youtube....h?v=xRnT9_eSVYM[/url] Eberhard Weber. Rather sublime. John Martyn - Some People are Crazy - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wan46Vcbqow"]https://www.youtube....h?v=wan46Vcbqow[/url] John Giblin. More fretless.

New Fender Signature Bass - Justin Meldal-Johnsen RW Mustang Bass
Mister RLP replied to Musicman20's topic in Bass Guitars
Nice. -
Started when I was 39. Played my first show a couple of months later (School musical) the day after my 40th birthday. It was Madness' 'Our House'. Two or three shows in one of Madnesss (Chrisy Boy) came to see it! We had a brief chat about playing the bass - which was very brief as he's the guitarist!

Popped into Andertons today. Fantastic service from the staff (and Lee) as usual. Even though it was very busy they were all very happy to help and chat and let me try as many basses that I wanted. Left wanting to come back.

What period/style of music inspired you to start playing?
Mister RLP replied to TheGreek's topic in General Discussion
+1 for Madness. Roped into doing the 'Our House' Musical in a school production. Third time I ever played in front of an audience Chris Foreman (Chrissy Boy) was in to see what the school version was like. Terrified. He was lovely afterwards when I asked him how the bass was. He said I played better than he did. Then he added he was the guitarist. -
[quote][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Squier VM P-Bass fretless (I think it's called like that).[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Great tone and a cool alternative to a J bass sound.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Mine is super light too which is a bonus.[/font][/color][/quote] +1 +1 to super light, too. In fact, both my Matt Freema and VM Fretless are faultless in their build and sound and play fantastically.

I keep looking at other p-basses - MIM, USA, etc. but I can't find anything that feels as comfortable and as well made as my Matt Freeman Squier. Bought a VM Fretless P Bass. The quality control is as good. Really impressed.

Done.

Update: Bowie Concert tomorrow. Songs involved in are now: Suffragette City, Moonage Daydream, Lazarus and Valentine's Day. For some reason learnt the baseline for Golden Year over the weekend. Rather neat.

Adam Ant in May. He was so good last year going to see him again. Possibly Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash in April if there are still tickets.

[quote][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]That's a great VID comparison. I could clearly hear the diferences in basses and personal fav was the MIJ on the isolated track but when it came to the full band sound the Larkin seemed to be very slightly clearer but they all sounded pretty much the same and so difficult to tell between them. IMHO that is.[/font][/color][/quote] Totally agree with the MIJ being great on the isolated track. However, I think I preferred the Fender '73 on the full band sound. But as Dave noted they all sound similar.

As we're talking about Bowie..career highest & lowest
Mister RLP replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
[quote][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No-one else in my Bowie covers band seems to believe me when I tell them what hard work that line is! I've tried and given up learning it a few times now and they still insist I could do it standing on my head.[/font][/color][/quote] Glad it's not just me then.
