*Mods, please kick this wherever it is deemed appropriate also, I'm sooo sooo sorry, i cant figure out/remember how to do the Photo thing from Flickr links :'( it's been a while! * Dear Everyone, First off, Hey! It's been a while! So, having completely given up on music for many years I felt compelled to see if my sign-in still works and guess what, it does! Long story will be available for anyone who remembers me, is still active, and cares, but the short is, I sold all 13 of my rack and was left with 1 to fund a major change in life direction...which it turns out failed. But I did manage to meet the woman who (don't tell her this...) makes me very, very happy. So it ain't all bad. Now, I'm looking to reconnect with one of my old quiver. https://www.flickr.com/photos/25009441@N04/3651968338/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/25009441@N04/3651967672/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/25009441@N04/3651969910/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/25009441@N04/3651970502/ serial (taken from above zoomed image) (E?) (*)29(8)7 It had a JE preamp installed will active/passive switching and all the gubbins, and from memory I p/xed her for the Sandberg below. (original sellers pics)...for a band which split cos the drummer, well, he wasn't humanity's most positive influence but that's another story. https://www.flickr.com/photos/25009441@N04/3684425864/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/25009441@N04/3684427476/in/photostream/ I've now got a Overwater Progress 3 Deluxe as my last axe, and I'm kinda considering trading back for the above MM, as if I'm gonna have one bass it might as well be the one bass I miss dearly Any help in reconnecting me with her will be rewarded in good Karma and my eternal love and servitude. Phil

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please; I quit the finest musical persuit a while back, and now it's time to move house I have unearthed all the stuff I couldn't bare to part with back then but now I have no need for any of it I would very much like someone else to have it and make use of it. "It" comprises of (amongst other things): Victor Wooten Super Bass Solo Technique DVD John Entwistle Bass Guitar Master Class DVD Peterson Strobostomp 2 tuner One of Dave Hall's beautiful DHA blenders (with all the blood splatterings) EBS BassIQ pedal Cables (various) Strings A microphone Music Theory books Small metal flightcase (10"x2"x20" ish) EB-O replica body Led Zep anthology Beatles anthology Bass Bible 2 etc etc etc etc.... you get the idea, I really REALLY can't be arsed to itemize and sell it, as I'm on a bit of a time limit but so yeah, free to whoever is quickest outta the gate. I know theres some value to some of the bits, so if you feel like passing on my charitable spirit please donate whatever you feel the joblot is worth to either: Air Ambulance Cancer Research SERV RNLI Basschat The stuff is located in Newbury, Berkshire, and unfortunately I can't meet anyone halfway as my only mode of transport is a motorbike....and all that gear isn't conducive to a stable journey! Thank you for reading this far, please get in touch if you're interested!

didnt that bass do the rounds a few years back, and was discredited by the combined bass knowledge of our esteemed Chatters? IIRC, it was one of those "Clearing out Uncle Dave's Attic when we found this in a box still with origin price tag of 3 groats and a chicken" or some bullsplit?

I'm here I've posted, and I'm still alive! (currently having to do the whole send-pm-wait-5mins-send-pm-wait-5mins etc etc etc)

eh? I've heard of drunken bidding, but not drunken selling!

sorry buzz, corrected

I've found the videos from a gig I played at the Clapham Grand a few years ago...not the greatest, not the tightest, but hell it brings back memories! I've also got the goddamn same hairline....sorry for any cranial lens flares! We had a stupidly early timeslot, and couldn't drag many fans up...hence the very hidden crowd! Some of you might enjoy 'em [/youtube code edit]
