    He may have been lying. We’d had a lot to drink by this point. I’ve just seen some of the show and it’s truly dreadful.

    I was told by a reliable source that the celebrities pre-record their tracks and then it’s backing dancers in the costumes until the ‘big reveal’ when the celebrities finally don the outfits.

    Surely set up is a matter of preference too? Many shops assume that the factory QC would have done this.

    I went to PMT and was prepared for this experience but thankfully, the bass I played was well set up and the guy working there very helpful. I’d be disappointed if I’d gone to a shop and had this experience, but they’re not all the same.

    This is a painful one, but my beloved 1969s Boosey & Hawkes Artia has to go. Ive owned this bass since 2016, when I used it to start my DB adventure. I bought it from a professional who had used it in a Buddy Holly musical. It’s a completely ply bass I believe. Since then it’s had a series of upgrades. A new bridge, soundpost, re-shot fingerboard and a re-set neck all completed by Martin Penning (have receipts). It’s currently strung with Spirocores Mitts which suit this jazz bass down to the ground. The end pin is an upgraded carbon fibre post. The front has been stripped and the bass is covered in snicks, dings, dongs and smacks. It’s been used by me for gigs and by countless others too. Please don’t expect a new bass because this one has been used - A LOT, which helps to create a beautiful rich jazz sound. It’s really a well voiced instrument with a good, low action. I’m selling it because I don’t have room for two basses here and my hand carved Bryant bass is a beautiful instrument. This doesn’t come with the Realist pickup as I’m going to use that on another bass. There is no case with the bass either, but if you’re starting out I can source a good quality one as well as a stand too. Obviously I can’t post this, and I’d love you to try before you buy... Looking for £650.

    GSH was a great songwriter, lyricist and singer.

    I’m interested in shifting this now, so any offers for this super awesome piece of bass goodness?

    I'm decluttering in a big way and have gone through my CD collection and rationalised it. I appreciate that with streaming, YouTube and the like many people don't bother with CDs anymore, but I thought I'd stick these here to see if anyone wanted them. Prices are £2.50 for each CD, unless a boxed set, and I've included a price for that. Bulk discounts etc. All are in good playable conditions but have been used. Some may need a new case. They're in the order they came out of the shelf, so I can't list them alphabetically (or rather, can't be bothered.) Grant Green: Alive The Verve Album Tower of Power Donald Byrd: Street Lady Donald Byrd: Places and Spaces Jaco Pastorious: Word of Mouth John Coltrane: Blue Train Herbie Hancock: My Point of View Brother Jack McDuff: Double Barrelled Soul Candido: Thousand Fingered Man Deodato: Os Catedraticos 73 Lou Donaldson: Quarter/Quintet?Sextet Frank Sinatra: Come Fly With Me Grant Green: Am I Blue Donald Byrd: Electric Byrd Shuggie Otis: Inspiration Information Herbiew Hancock: Fat Alberta Rotunda Houston Person: Goodness!

    Paddy, they’re free - just send me a couple of quid for postage! Im decluttering at the moment as we’re downsizing. Everything on here is all for nothing, as long as people want it and use it!

    As soon as my new Fender jazz turned off, I swapped the Roundwounds for Flats. This model was never on show in the shop, so the strings have never been used. Don't know what age, gauge etc but they're yours if you want them for a few quid postage. If you let me know this weekend they can be in the post Monday...
  11. Burns-bass
    All gone, apart from the scratchplate!

    Second getting an expert opinion. We’re not owners of double basses, we’re custodians with our job to leave them on the best condition to enjoy many more years of playing pleasure. The DB community of shops and luthiers are all as committed to preserving these incredible instruments as we are and as such are always happy to share their views and opinions. Hope you find the bass you want.

    You’re a man of exquisite taste - what you selling? (MUST RESIST!)

    Tax bills for me - end of year. Corporation Tax and personal too. Surprisingly high this year for a variety of reasons, hence my less than beloved items are all looking for new homes.
  15. Burns-bass
    These modern Fenders are exceptional instruments.
  16. Burns-bass
    Do the prices include postage? I’d be interested in the Bass Standards book.
  17. Burns-bass
    May have been stolen by then...

    What a lovely New Year’s Day gesture!

    I"m selling my mint condition PJB Flightcase 150 in stunning red. I've owned this for about 6 months and it's left the house once. In fact, I've barely played it because I also own an AER amp that suits my needs more (it's louder, but much much heavier). These are exceptional amps and this one is as new. I have all the original packaging, instructions etc. Looking for £500. Specs are: 150watt RMS amp Switchable Active / Passive input 5-band EQ Optical Limiter Headphone Output Tuner Output Pre-amp Line Output Balanced Line Output FX Send & Return Four Internal 5-inch Proprietary PJPS Speakers Dimensions: 13.6″ H x 12.6″ W x 15.75″ D (345x320x400 mm) Weighs only 24 lbs / 11kg AC Voltage: 100 – 240 Volt / 50 – 60Hz Slip on cover included Couple of images below, but let me know if you need any more. Not interested in trades and would prefer pickup (so you can test it), but can courier if necessary. This is a tough one, but a huge tax bill and Christmas expenditure means that something needs to give...
