  1. OPEN TO OFFERS BY PM 1 PAIR OF EMINENCE DELTA 10B MID RANGE GUITAR DRIVERS - 10" - AS NEW. They're in the original boxes, and unused. Each speaker is 16 ohm, so wired in parallel they would make an 8 ohm 700 watt 2x10 guitar cab. New price is £86 each ( can be found on Blue Aran website ). Blue Aran will sell 2 for £166 + £6 postage. Total £172. I'm looking for £100
  2. One of these. Ugh
  3. Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secets was pretty damn good. I love early Floyd YMMV of course
  4. Dump the track and do a cover of B-i-tch instead
  5. Yup, got some very decent heavy duty boxes
  6. Vintage 74 reissue in vintage white, Maple neck, maple fingerboard, block inlays. Body is ash. I've owned the bass from new, and upgraded the pickups to Bartolini Classic Deeptones. The preamp is now an East Retro 01 with battery + black stack knobs. Bridge is now a Fender Hi-Mass. Bass is in exceptional condition, as i bought just before lockdown, and of course everything all went chest up after that. Bass has never left my lounge. Pickguard has the odd blemish here and there due to playing at home over the last 18 months. Comes with a really decent Thomann padded case , but no hard case. This stops me posting it, though it can be posted if any buyer wants to arrange this. I'm also lobbing in a Gaucho Buffalo lace leather strap ( mint ) which was around £25 and a set of DR Sunbeams as fitted. Sorry, no trades. Just thinning the herd, as they say. Oh, i've decided if anyone wants to arrange postage, i will cover the cost upto 25 squids
  7. It might be ( but not always ) a case of being there at a young age. I discovered the Sensation album from a friend and i hadnt long left school at that time. Zappa had been around already for several years by then, but it was the Sensation album that blew my wig off
  8. Buyers are not forced to buy stuff on Ebay, so there is none of this " buyers are having to pay extra " Buyers can simply not buy something if it's too expensive. Period. But i have to agree that the giant Ebay corporate money making machine is a testament to capitalism at it's absolute finest. I'd like to see sellers Foxtrot Oscar in their millions over Ebay's sheer unadulterated greed, and then we'll see them back track double quick
  9. Big treat on Sky Arts tonight. Its Frank Zappa. And for those in the other Zappa thread wondering which albums for beginners, then this is for you. 2 of his best and most accessible ..Overnight Sensation and Apostrophe. Enjoy
  10. Edited 1 hour ago by uk_lefty Self censored profanity to remove term that rhymes with Barry White Carry shyte ?
  11. AS posted , you might wanna skip 200 Motels, but there's some real treats coming up. Hot Rats, Overnight Sensation ( killer ! ) Zoot Allures, Had the pleasure of seeing the great man live at Hammersmith Odeon. One of my standout live gigs along with King Crimson ( Discipline era ) The Tubes , Floyd, Bowie
  12. Drumming was my bag before i took up the bass. Many gigs under the belt, but bass is so much more satisfying, so i found out. Up until a couple of years ago, i still had a pop on the tubs now and again at our local Sunday jam at Fat Lils. @FinnDave knows the venue i speak of
  13. I can't change my Reverb PW because i dont remember what it was. That's the trouble of being advised to have a different PW for every site we join but told dont write them down. I'm on loads of sites.
  14. If they were the only basses available, then you wouldn't be playing something else, shirley ? Unless you mean something like a Euphonium ? Kettle Drum ?
  15. A lot of Scorpions must have died to build that
  16. That was the extremely rare Labra bass by Doc Martin custom builds

    I'm surprised your Psilos is not in here. Oddballest bass on Basschat !!

    Where's all the oddballs ..
  19. Bert was in our house too, thanks to daddy. Also Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Happy days
  20. Agreed, very different. Berlin AFAIK, does not play a fretless, and a big part of BX's sound is PJ's fretless, since he doesnt really play fretted basses. Without PJ or Goodsall, the last 2 members, how can it be Brand X.
  21. It maybe that people are holding on to their cash right now, understandably. This might not be a good time to sell
  22. More good points made chaps. Still thinking...
  23. Good points made Looking at current prices where they can actually be found ( no Russian 100 quid oldies ) we're looking at 1700-1800 and 750-900 quids I'll have a think !
  24. Possibly Andy, but i cannot post as neither bass has a hard enough case. Shops can arrange the shipping without hard cases, ( i've already done this before but with a shop i wont deal with ) and they're also responsible
  25. It may end up that i'll have to phone every shop i can think of and ask 'em, but Bass Gallery is looking like the main contender
