  1. I have some books which are lovely and great. I was going to open them and paper a room with prints but it is not going to happen. The Milt Hinton ones are superb.
  2. Since when did not having stock stop online retailers taking our money?
  3. 2U. Less to carry. Pedal tuner also acts as a mute button. Happy days.
  4. I cannot deny, I am fascinated.
  5. All + Postage OverTime The Jazz Photographs of Milt Hinton £9 + postage Bass Culture - John Entwhistle - £90 2 of Bass Line The Stories and Photographs of Milt Hinton. The author looks back on his career as a jazz musician and shares his photographs and impressions of the major jazz performers with whom he worked.. 1 x Hardback and 1 x Paperback. £20 each The Cover Art of Blue note records smaller size - £10 The Cover Art of Blue note records full size £15 The Cover Art of Blue note records Vol 2 full size £15 California Cool West Coast Jazz Cover Art £15 The Sound I Saw - Large Coffee Table paperback of B+W prints of the Jazz Era (whatever that was) Conceived, designed, written, and made by hand as a prototype by master photographer Roy DeCarava (b. 1919) in the early 1960s yet unpublished for nearly half a century, The Sound I Saw has largely existed, until now, as a legend among the cognoscenti of the photography world. Presented as a stream of 196 soulful images interspersed with DeCarava's own evocative poetry, the book is, in its form and effect, the printed equivalent of jazz. £30 I will add some more as I clear. I was going to open all these up and paper a room with them. It is never going to happen.
  6. To avoid any dissapoinment these are £50 each. I can do pics, but they are in VGC and have velcro. You know what they look like and what they do. I have the boxes as well.
  7. Lightweight. Practice is cheating.
  8. Shorter scale brings the rubbery goodness under the hands.
  9. Glad you got one for the right price. If anyone is reading this thinking their local college might be selling recent ones for a good price, think again. I work in a local college. There is NO chance that scenario would ever, ever happen. Ever.
  10. And yet, everyone who has been mentioned at the very least has, or in general is, earning a living playing bass. So by definition they are doing it right. Cos we would all love to. Maybe some of us have and have moved on. Maybe some of us still are. It is a lesson that there are so few "name" players on here because there is always someone who wants to have a pop. It is like my mate who is 6'5" and huge going out on the town. Every bloke who wants to prove themselves wants to fight him. Why do forums get such a kick from saying "yeah, not bad but...... you know......"? Everyone who has been mentioned has had commercial success which means they do not have to have a day job. They must be proper gutted that they do not measure up to what the BC Massive see as doing it right.
  11. What, like we are not doing the same things we have always done but doing so with Blue Passports?
  12. Fancy wood is great, but there is something very honest about that straight grained cut (almost quartersawn - like I knew). Sometimes less truly is more.
  13. I am naive enough to believe that politics should be all about economics and facts. I am done with this mindset that this clown troupe masquerading as a government have the remotest chance of negotiating anything which would benefit the people they are meant to be serving. Where is the evidence that they have even half a clue?
  14. It's gonna be awesome. Anything that floats the boat of the present Cabinet (they cannot possibly be there for any other reason) is fine by me. How hard can it be to refloat an empire?
  15. That is the very harsh truth. I have more than I use. And it bothers me.
  16. There is a queue....... But I do know that you are in that queue
