  1. Did a 3-set, sit-down jazz and blues gig at a swanky bar. Clientele didn’t seem too intestates but we earned the most money we have ever done as a band.
  2. Agreed. I've got two gigs that way this weekend (The Library and outside Mother's Ruin). Neither is a good load in or out. I park the other side of Bristol bridge and walk across as it's easier than trying to drive into town.
  3. That's great! Caught my daughter playing with my vintage bass yesterday. Was quite proud.
  4. I have been very negative about vintage basses here, and I still don't buy that they're all good. But there is something in this one you simply don't get with new ones. I will admit I was wrong.
  5. Pic from tonight’s gig. Fallen back in love with the old 66-er.
  6. Hi Phil, it most certainly is. I was just playing it literally a minute ago. I’m based in Bristol (but just driving to Cheltenham for my first gig of a 3-gig weekend!)
  7. Feel free to use the pics. I can attest that this used to be mine. We handed over in person at the height of the pandemic. Its a stupidly good bass.
  8. Now £1795. I need this gone. Must be the cheapest one of these out there...
  9. Sold a bass on there that wouldn’t sell here. No fees, instant payment and the cash is now in my bank. Well done EBay!
  10. We’re not here to make a profit, but to make good music…
  11. None at all. It’s a very lightweight -and we’ll balanced bass. I actually use it with straplocks so that may have an impact but overall it’s a lovely bass
  12. You didn’t say what you were looking for 🙂
  13. Now £1599. I can't do this any cheaper and will keep it if I get no interest this time.
  14. The guitarist in my band has a residency there. Parking is a nightmare in Bristol centre (as I’m sure you know!). The crowd in there can be very boisterous. He’s experienced fights, smashed glasses and bashed equipment. Just look after yourself and stay vigilant I guess.
  15. I know I should (from a technical point of view) enjoy these videos, but I just can't watch them. All power to the YouTube crew though.
  16. Always read the small print! I asked someone who knows about these things and apparently they make much more money from business sellers. In time he believes eBay will attempt to become more like Amazon. Makes sense. I’ve just reduced the price on two items so there’s parity with BC.
  17. Could this smash the second hand market for instruments? Apparently eBay is slashing fee to 0. Quite how this makes economic sense I have no idea, but you’d expect sellers to now reduce prices to that without fees. I know I have… Interesting to see what happens.
  18. Seems like the classic gig nutcase. In my experience, it’s normally the vocalist that gets the most hassle.
  19. There are two Wals for sale on the Bass Direct website./.
  20. You can always advertise in the wanted section. But I reckon you're fine!
  21. I love originals bands but this cover band is purely a money making venture. The replies here have been helpful. Resentment can easily build up so I’m glad we’ve dealt with it head on.
