  1. Isn't 7 irrelevant on a bass players forum?
  2. I have the 1937 Selmer Balanced Action that I inherited from my Dad. I can get a scale of C major out of it but nothing else. He bought it from new and it was his only tenor until he died in 2011.
  3. One of the SVL Reserve basses. Had them just a year now and they are simply perfect (for me).
  4. I'm no expert but I might be tempted to strip the bridge and use Duraglit (if they still actually make it, of course). Or Brasso. Get it quick before the panic buying starts!! https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/255655669
  5. You would have owned it after me. I took it into Andy's for them to sell. I had it from about 1987 to 91.
  6. I bet Pino's dead miffed he let his go for such a paltry sum.
  7. https://www.guitarbroker.com/product/1979-musicman-stingray-fretless-bass/ 10/10 for effort!!
  8. My band added a single Alto 12" sub to our (15") tops and the improvement in sound was very marked. I even DI the bass now so we can have a lower sound level on stage. Going through the PA are vox, guitar, bass and keys. Very happy with the sound. We use the DSP 15 setting even though ours are the older version. Quite a weighty beast (even though active) but adds enormously to the sound.
  9. You can try Stewart himself at Award-Session - https://award-session.com/index.php
  10. Great band. They kind of split into two with Joe Jackson taking the drummer and bass player into his band and the singer (Mark Andrews) forming Mark Andrews and the Gents who produced a debut album which was much better than Look Sharp IMHO. Clive Bates (guitar) has always been my favourite unknown guitarist.
  11. My bills are paid courtesy of my job as the EMEA VAT Manager for a multinational merchandising company. Been involved in VAT for about 37 years less a few years when I was doing the touring thing.
  12. And to think ........................
  13. https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/products/1966-fender-precision-bass-blonde-slab-body It's back
  14. One thing. If you talk to him, don't mention valves!!! 🙂
  15. Yes, Stewart Ward is going strong and I have been a user of his cables for many years. I also had a Session 1x15 combo but it was horribly underpowered. Stewart is quite open about this. Great eq but no9t much good in the real world.
  16. The problem is, one of the 'added difficulties' is that it may well become economically unviable. That's not something you can 'work with'. No more dog and egg at the Tunnel!!
  17. I do believe you're right.
  18. My (ex pro) Dad used to say that an amateur practices until they get it right. A pro practices until they can't get it wrong. That'll do for me.
  19. They were starting a go fund me page for something. That seems rather opportunistic given that they got the majority of their gear back.
  20. Sound engineers across the land are screaming BASS DRUM pedal at their (computer) monitors!!!
  21. This, with nickel plated pre-CBS barrel shaped knobs on!
  22. I might be tempted to contact Andy Baxter as he sells plenty of them and many with non-standard speakers.
  23. Agree entirely. On top of that, I learned Latin at school!!
  24. A pair of WEM 4x12 columns surely?
  25. Fender Precision A/E fretless.
