    Entwistle Neodymium pickups

    in Accessories and Misc

    Posted

    Hi Dazed

    They are a lot louder and a bit brighter than some Jazz pickups I've used, put possibly also my favourite Jazz pickups. There is a video somewhere on YouTube of someone using them in a sherwood green fender Jazz bass. Give it a watch if you're interested.

    I last week sold a set of them in the marketplace here, but can definitely see me buying a new set in the not too distant future.

    Cheers,

    HB

    I might be wrong, but hasnt 'Wiley' been awarded an MBE for 'services to music'?

     

    to be fair he was a big part of the early days of UK hip hop. The likes of Kano, Dizzee Rascal, JME, Sway, Skepta, Tinie Tempah, and more recently Stormzy, have all worked with him

    A nice member of the honours list for me is local lad Charlie Fogarty. He was a youth footballer for the Birmingham academy when he was involved in a car crash that left him in a coma and severely brain damaged. A few years on he's done work for disabled football teams all over the midlands and set up Solihull Moors disabled open-age team, and hopes to get into the Paralympic GB team. All aged just 18.

    To me, these are the sorts of people that deserve all the credit.

    How many this year?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    after a very promising start of the year (new band with very talented musicians), I have ended the year on a grand total of 1.5 gigs - one as a stand in for a friends band and the half a one being from what was a rehearsal being put on the venues stage and about 25 people coming in and watching (although probably because the bar was in the same room as the stage).

    Still, the bar for improvement in 2018 is currently set quite low.

    one of the ideas I had a while ago was routing a standard cheapo Harley Benton Jazz or Precision type bass or similar to take the Seymour Duncan RB pickups, but then it's losing that good old rick styling.

    I'll let you know how my quest goes. I have put in a bid on the Hondo and at current am the highest bidder :)

    Am I allowed to do a NBD of a faker?

    I currently have a few options anyway.

    there's the Hondo, which I won't go above £350 for.

    I have sourced a shop up north with a Rockinbetter in the redburst colour in stock that an old friend will go in and buy for me if I want it.

    There's the Renegade in red that is in budget.

    The generic chickenbacker on FB I've been offered for pennies but will need some doing uppering.

    Theres an Indie IRK for sale on an auction site - comes in at the top of what I have to spend but they get a good write up.

    And finally, the Career Rik400s are all over the interwebs for just above my budget.

    It is also missing a string completely 😅

    I thought no more than £350 as thats the sort of region Rockinbetters and Retrovibe Renegades go for. I do know that the Hondos do get a good write up though.

    In other news I've been offered one on Facebook that looks like a generic Chinese faker with a whole rework of the electrics needed.

    Ashdown Vintage 12 - Withdrawn

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Harryburke14

    Hiya guys,

    Up for sale is my Ashdown Vintage 12 combo. See what Ashdown have to say about it: 

    http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/B/18/Legacy/114/AAA-Vintage-12-/

    I see these are selling on ebay and such for around £150, but due to damage to the strap (rubber lining coming away from metal strap, still works fine), am selling for £75 collected from B36 Birmingham.

    Hit me up with any trade offers - looking for compressors and any cheapo or project basses you have.

    Now Withdrawn tah.
