Looks like a sexy collection - get them in before it rains!![/quote] He's a dark horse Ped, a very dark horse!! That's a great trio Peter and I have to say, the CS looks just fantastic!

    We played The Elms in Worthing last night and it was an amazing gig.. Packed house, mixture of people who know us and those that don't and we went down an absolute storm!! Probably the band's best ever gig

    [quote name='Beedster' post='97081' date='Dec 1 2007, 07:43 AM']Cheers Nik, yes, not a bad speaker at all. When playing them I wear a one-piece gold jumpsuit, 7-inch heels and a blond wig, an unusual look for a Reggae band Chris[/quote] Always good to stand out from the crowd though, even if it could be life-threatening!

    [quote name='lwtait' post='96775' date='Nov 30 2007, 04:09 PM']does anyone have the tab to this? theres a bit behind the solo that has some cool fiddly bits in but none of the tab sites have it in. I'm going to try and work it out, but if anyone has the tab to it that'd be great. EDIT: Its OK, I worked it out now.[/quote] What a great song! Who did it; was it The Only Ones?

    [quote name='paul, the' post='96471' date='Nov 30 2007, 03:01 AM']I had one of these. I've heard them bashed on BC but I loved mine. Haven't been able to play My Generation as perfectly since.[/quote] Great for the money and a pretty good copy of that 'Ric' sound..

    [quote name='paul, the' post='96473' date='Nov 30 2007, 03:10 AM']Oh would you look at that. (just in case you missed it)[/quote] I didn't miss it but it's good to look at again!

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='96375' date='Nov 29 2007, 09:59 PM']I sort of thought about having another clearout sale, but didn't actually get around to it. I will try to sell my Les Evans, Zoot Custom fretless 5, Bass collection SB320 and Bongo 5 H/S next year I promise The pile of cases and gigbags in my spare room is ever so impressive. Not on the ceiling yet though. Peter[/quote] No need to rush... you'll only regret selling them in the end, I always do

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='96371' date='Nov 29 2007, 09:54 PM']I've just put the old pots back into my Lakland DJ and bugger me I can't get the control knobs back on - even using quite a bit of force. Is it possible they've shrivelled up with age or do you think it's possible they're the wrong knobs. The Gallery fitted the J-Retro I just took out so I'd be surprised if they belong to another bass. Is it time to get the Vaseline out or a hammer? Shall I warm 'em up a bit in the oven?[/quote] Difficult problem - sounds like a WD40 or Vaseline job Homer I reckon... Worried about this cut and paste though from your post: [i]"..and bugger me..knobs.. using..force..shrivelled up with age..they're the wrong knobs..time to get the Vaseline out.."[/i] I know you like your DJ4, but that's going a bit too far

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='96192' date='Nov 29 2007, 04:07 PM']Coincidence, I've got 14 basses. Sold my R1200GS this year and gave up after 37 yrs of biking. Peter[/quote] Thought you had a big bass clearout recently Peter? Or has the GAS come back even stronger this time?

    [quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='95931' date='Nov 29 2007, 01:41 AM']My first bass was a Kay "Gibson Les Paul" shape that cost me about £50 out of my mum's catalogue! I paid for it myself from my earnings from my paper round. The action on it was terrible. The strings were about 2 inches above the neck. Maybe that excuses me all my bad habits nearly 30 years later [/quote] My first bass was a Kay bass, similar to the one you've described.. Cost £22 from Woolies in 1975 (I think) and it was pretty awful, but it got me started. Then I persuaded my Mum to buy me this Hondo Ricky from a catalogue, which I still have! This year, I've done a bit of work on it; replaced the tuners which had broken, had the neck sorted out etc, so it's vaguely playable again.. But really it's there as a memento of my first years in a proper gigging band and, more importantly, of my Mum.

    [quote name='Beedster' post='95649' date='Nov 28 2007, 03:30 PM']Indeed, the Silverfox is the man. I have had the pleasure of two clandestine meets under the cover of night at Clacket Lane, and each one has been rewarded with good gear (musical I hasten to add), incisive conversation, and good humour. Defo one of the good'uns [/quote] Cheers Chris! "Defo one of the good'uns" yourself mate Am getting Clackett Lane withdrawal symptoms to be honest but haven't got anything to sell at the moment and am full up in the bass dept. so can't buy either of those two very nice P-basses you're in the process of selling..

    [quote name='bassbloke' post='95400' date='Nov 27 2007, 11:17 PM']I think that the current financial climate, proximity to Christmas, increased fuel prices and he fact that the market is full of kit is resulting in very low prices.[/quote] That sums it up just about right. Plus of course, there is so much great gear around it actually makes it possible to be a bit choosy..

    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='95063' date='Nov 27 2007, 01:30 PM']I am currently considering selling my Lakland Darryl Jones 5 Stringer in order to fund a new "project" (all to be revealed at a later stage). It's in absolutely mint condition and comes with the official Lakland hard case (which has a few dings). The bass is white with a maple fingerboard and has 3 pickguards with it; white, black and tortoise (made by Jeannie's Pickguards). In addition, it now has a John East J-Retro fitted to it (I still have the Lakland Passive unit safe too). I've put a couple of photos up. I'll try to take a few more, but it really is in mint condition, so you'll pretty much know what you're getting anyway. Price-wise, I'm looking for £880 including the J-Retro and £830 without it. P&P to be agreed at a later stage. You could probably find cheaper if you looked around, but you won't easily find one in this condition for this sort of money. It's also set up beautifully and is incredibly easy to play. I'm not looking for trades at this stage, but PM me if you have any questions at all. Thanks for looking.[/quote] I've got the passive model in LPB and they are wonderful sounding basses! Good luck with the sale, looks like a great bass.

    probably a few more than this if I sat down and thought about it but, thinking back, I should have bought a Fender Musicmaster 15 years ago for £75.. and about 8 years ago, I should have bought a beautiful Musicman Sabre for £600..

    [quote name='Merton' post='93288' date='Nov 23 2007, 12:56 PM']Well I've sold a couple of bits now, selling or giving away a couple more, time to tell me how much of an ass I am![/quote] Just bought some Celestion drivers of Merton and it was as easy and straightforward a bit of business as I've ever done on Basschat. He's a great bloke and I'd totally recommend him to anyone here who's thinking of buying/selling their gear with him! It was really good to meet up with you Merton; thanks for sorting it out so quickly! Look forward to seeing you again at some point soon, hopefully with that Status Groove 5 tucked under your arm Cheers Nik

    [quote name='Merton' post='94548' date='Nov 26 2007, 02:06 PM']Perfect! Just met Nik in person to hand over the two Trace/Celestion drivers, lovely bloke to deal with, nice and simple "transaction". Thanks [/quote] Hi Merton Pleasure to meet you yesterday.. Thanks for the drivers and for delivering them and for the feedback - much appreciated! Equally, it was a perfect transaction for me too. Will leave you some feedback now... Also, thanks Ped + Peter for the positivity; totally reciprocated of course!

    I use a DBX MC6 which is based on the DBX 160a model, so it's pretty good quality technology. Very easy to use, has an auto-mode so it'll do it all for you and can be used on any instrument or even your recordings to great effect. It's not something you see often but it is a great compressor for the money - better than any Boss Pedal I've tried or the Trace Elliot SMX pedal I had, though I've no idea how it would stack up against DHA or EBS etc. It's not a rack model or a pedal design, so has to be looked after carefully, but I wouldn't be without it now... Picked mine up new off Ebay for £25.00 from the States and it cost me £12.00 to get it shipped over. Nik
