    Hi Folks,

     

    I recently bought a Valeton Looper and a Boss ME50-B from Sam, aka @uncle psychosis

     

    Really smooth transaction, great comms and gear in excellent condition - what more could you ask for?! 

     

    So, deal with Sam with absolute confidence, Folks! 

     

    Thanks again Sam, and here's to the next time... 👍😁

     

    Cheers

    *** Final Price reduction*** G&L SB-2 USA £850 - *SOLD*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    I bought a fabulous G&L SB1 from Nigel 3 years ago, and it's just a wonderful, wonderful sounding bass! 

     

    I can only imagine that this is just as good, if not better, due to it's P/J pick up configuration (and much more pristine condition) ! 

     

    Though I didn't know him well, I will always remember Nigel as being a real gentleman with a lovely understated humour about him, coupled with very good taste in bass guitars. 😊

     

    Was very saddened to hear of his passing earlier this year.. 😔

     

    Best of luck with the sale.. 🙏

    I had the pleasure of having a go on this bass recently and I have to say, it's absolutely fantastic! 

     

    Fabulous, authentic Jazz Bass tones, lovely neck and action, and it's got a killer low B on it! Oh, and it looks as cool as f*@k, too... 😁

     

    All in all, it's a total bargain at this price...

    I seriously cannot understand why this is still here.  I'm giving it away, practically! 

     

    And pick up from SE Essex isn't a big deal - 20 mins from J30 M25.  You only need passport and jabs if you're going onto Canvey Island. :) 

    Nor can I Paul..?? 

     

    The bass looks in such good condition and was an utter bargain at £200 for a USA built instrument, let alone £150!

     

    I had a Peavey T40 many moons ago, and the build quality on it was superb, so I imagine this will be every bit as good. 

     

     Anyway, good luck with it and hopefully, someone - who needs a quality 4 string - will come to their senses soon and snap it up from you !

    Recently met up with Paul, aka @E sharp on a grey and drizzly Sunday afternoon near Diss to buy his Eden WT-400 head from him. 

     

    We didn't have long to chat as Paul was on his way to his third gig that weekend, and I was at a recording session that I needed to get back to... 

     

    Anyway, despite the brevity of our meetup, what I can say is that Paul is a great person to deal with, he really knows - and looks after his gear - and he is very trustworthy.

     

    Suffice to say that you can deal with Paul in complete confidence, Folks!

     

    Paul - great to meet you and thanks for your patience with getting everything sorted out finally.. 

     

    The amp is great by the way!  👍

     

    Thanks,

    Bassist Wanted - Northampton /Peterborough area

    Hello Basschatters, 

     

    A guitarist friend of mine has started working with a solo artist by the name of Dan Knight in the Northampton / Peterborough area, and they're looking for a bassist to join them.

     

    As I understand it, the plan is to do some live gigs to support the promotion of Dan's recordings which are already available on Spotify.

     

    If you'd like to find out more, here's a link to a recent Facebook post by Dan: 

     

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/peterboroughmusiciansuk/permalink/6763742593689699/

     

    Which basically says this :

     

    "Hey everyone

    So I put a post out a few weeks ago looking to put together a band for my original music my next show is September 23rd 

    So we’re just in need of a bassist for now so if you’d like to be a part of the project please respond here or get in touch via DM’s 😁

     

    Look forward to hearing from you all. "

     

    And here's the link to Dan's Spotify:

     

    PM me if you'd like me to put you in touch directly with the guitarist. 

     

    Thanks for looking... 

     

    Cheers 

     

    Nik

    Hi Folks,

     

    Had the pleasure of meeting Julian, aka @Soulmanyesterday to hand over my Ashdown CTM100 amp to him in exchange for a few shekels. 

     

    Typical Basschat deal - we met in a pub car park just outside Shrewsbury (as I'm staying nearby for a few days)... 

     

    It would have looked a bit dodgy if we hadn't had our two better halves with us to provide a sheen of respectability to the proceedings.. 😁

     

    So, what can I say that hasn't been said about Julian already... 

     

    He's a great guy to deal with, excellent comms, and has been a long-standing contributor to the Basschat community. 

     

    Suffice to say, deal with Julian in absolute confidence, Folks. 👍

     

    It was really good to meet you finally, Julian, and I hope you enjoy the amp! 

     

    Here's to the next time.. 😊

    Get the date in your diaries!

     

    I'm very pleased to announce that this year (so far!) our first special guest, who after a brief stint as a graphic designer, decided to pursue a career in music which took off when he was asked to join (the then massive in Australia) Icehouse for a world tour at the tender age of 19. In 1983 he supported David Bowie on his legendary ‘Serious Moonlight’ tour.

     

    This led to him being spotted and used by the likes of Robert Palmer, Bryan Ferry, Womack & Womack, and even The Smiths amongst others. He was thrust into the global premier league of bassists when David Gilmour asked him to play for Pink Floyd.

     

    Yes - Mr Guy Pratt! 😎

    That's absolutely amazing @Hamster! 

     

    So, so brilliant to have 'Mr Guy Pratt' confirmed as a special guest for this year's South East Bass Bash! 

     

    http://www.guypratt.com/

     

    Amazing musician, great writer and a fantastic raconteur... 

     

    He's worked with some of my favourite artists ever... 

     

    This is going to be good! 😎
