    If you’d made this yourself as a bit of fun, or as a project with a child then fair enough, but how he can and sell this for £300 is incredible.

    It's a beautiful looking bass. I used to own a 2004 and it was a very well defined sound. I'd take this if I was nearer. My wife thanks you for refusing to post and living so far away from Bristol.

    Well played...

    I actually think it's pretty interesting advice. I base this on teaching intermediate level students (let's say Grade 5 and above) and the issues she raises are pretty common things that bass players do. They'll focus on fills, embellishments and using the fragments of theory they know to construct overly complicated lines. It's probably a reaction to every video you see from someone like Scott (awesome player) who starts off with some noodling that's useful in about 0.00001% of real life bass situations. The open string thing seems weird, but when you play an open string you're not totally in control of the note. If someone is attacking a fretted note with a pick then an open string can jar a little. That's the only incidence it would make sense to prefer a fretted note, or if you're adding an embellishment to it. There's plenty of plain bad advice on the internet, but I wouldn't class this as such. When I was 15 and starting out, this would have helped. And we all need a reminder sometimes that we should focus on groove, not fills...

    Cool. Is the 62 a refin?

    I’m the same (but a it earlier). I’ve got somewhere near £15k worth of gear, but at times it was up to around £40k. You can see the old pre cbs basses I sold. I have cleared it all out and only now have the 66 candy apple Jazz (that took me two years to buy) and a Paul Bryant double bass. The rest are all on their way out slowly. I run a business and when I get home and have put the kids to bed I’m just shattered. Everyone I know has told me to wait a few years, so I’m planning to do that. A hobby should be something to enjoy not feel guilty about.

    Bump!

    Cool little thing, but never used really. No box or instructions but it’s pretty straightforward.

    White socks jazz funk. I have the same sort of feeling listening to Vulfpeck and the whole host of revisionist funk bands out there. There are no new ideas here, just old ones imitated averagely. In this instance however, when I was teaching at a music college one of the kids asked me to transcribe a SZ line and I had a lot of fun. He really does work a groove and they are very musical, and highly lyrical in their approach. I retain the right to be wrong at any point, and the freedom to change my mind.

    Now £325. I love this box of goodness.

    Bump! Offers please

    I've got two lovely pedals for sale... Boss TU2 - Tuner Good condition, used for gigs etc. So some minor scrapes and so on. £40 RAK DST-3 Distortion Classic 80s distortion. A guitar pedal I believe, but I used it for bass and it was monstrous. Gigged, but in good nick. £25

    Still don’t get it but the video was cool, and great all the excitement for a new band!

    And check the insurance is for musical instruments. In most cases it isn’t...

    I sent a guitar with UPS and had no problems. Accidents can happen to all couriers, and in my experience at least, UPS have been better than some others. Personally, I invested in 30 metres of bubble wrap from Toolstation (other providers are available) and triple boxed the last guitar I sent. It worked well, too (by that I mean it got there without a scratch and the buyer was well pleased).

    Beautiful Christoph.

    I went on tour with the Musical Box a few years ago. You genuinely won’t meet a nicer bunch of guys. And the show I witnessed every night was exemplary.
  18. Burns-bass
    Bump!
  19. Burns-bass
    I've added some more here. All in great condition.

    Hi This is a great little thing, and it's your for free! The only problem is the lead linking it to the iPhone is gone, so it's pretty much useless (unless you happen to have one lying about!) Yours for the cost of postage (£3)

    They are beautiful amps and I’m really pleased with this one, I just don’t need it anymore.
  23. Burns-bass
    Fingers crossed you paid with a credit card. If it’s a scam (which I’m obviously not sure it is) then I hope you’re covered. Hope you are.

    This is my iAmp 200 combo (I believe it may be called a Wizzy, although I'm not convinced that's such a good thing). It's an amazingly powerful little thing that gives you incredible control over your sound. It's loud too, with many of these used (like it was with me) for double bass. It's surplus to requirements as we change our house around a bit, so its up for sale here. The condition is very good, with some minor marks on the grill that could easily be removed with a bit of black paint should you so wish. The head is removable too, and can be used to power other cabs. I love this thing, it sounds great. Collection from Bristol only, no chance I'm packing or posting this.

    I have hundreds of CDs, DVDs and records in the loft and have swapped it all for streaming. It’s absolutely fine, and allows me more space for my upright bass.
