  1. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1486920242' post='3235526'] Sometimes we get paid in our pocket..sometimes in our hearts.. It's up to you which is more rewarding. [/quote] +2
  2. Seems like a great price to me for the 212, and for the rig as a whole... GLWTS
  3. We do Figure It Out, again in a 2 x guitar, bass and drums set up and it always goes down a storm... It's great fun to play too! Royal Blood are quite well known where we gig though, as we're only 20 miles from Brighton, so that probably helps.
  4. Wow! Totally agree Trevor; there's no one around in her class! I think it was Jerry Wexler, one of her producers, who said of Aretha: "She's all alone in her greatness" Hope she enjoys her retirement; she's earned it!
  5. [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1486663646' post='3233700'] It might have been mentioned already but here goes; the debut Stone Roses album. Utter sh*te. I'm guessing the reviewers who proclaimed it to be the saviour of music were 'E'd up like all the fans. [/quote] +1 And, dare I say it around here, anything by Jamiroquai - especially the first album - leaves me totally cold! Synthetic, 'wannabe Stevie Wonder', funkless drivel.. and that's it's good points!
  6. Always loved those old cheesy soul tunes, like 'Betcha By Golly Wow' by The Stylistics, and 'Zoom' by Fat Larry's Band...
  7. Absolutely! My one had a Bartolini 3 band eq circuit in it and it was really versatile tonally.. I used it in a rock band and it sounded great. I had a Wal Custom 4 string at the time, and the Wal didn't get a look in, either live or in the studio. Got to say, this is a great price for a bass of this quality; my one cost £1450 new back in 1992, and I then spent another £250 on buying and fitting the electronics!
  8. [quote name='ElijahBass' timestamp='1486638642' post='3233405'] Bump! Thought someone would have took this of my hands by now [/quote] Me too.. I can't believe this is still here?? Great value for the money and it looks really cool! Looks like it replicates a lot of what the Roscoe Beck V would do, for a lot less money.. Anyway, GLWTS
  9. [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1486591324' post='3233162'] I used to own this cab or one exactly the same. It's was brill. I'm off to recommend it to my mate who's after a 212. I might even try and sell him mine and snap this up instead!! [/quote] Thought it looked familiar... 😊
  10. Got to give this cab a BUMP because it's such a good price for what it is! I know it's a cliché around here, but if I hadn't just bought a TechAmp 115, I would be sending you a PM right now.. Anyway, GLWTS
  11. Beautiful! I had one that was a bit older than this one and it was a truly fabulous, reasonant and very funky sounding bass! GLWTS
  12. Time for another BUMP for this quirky slice of British-built, 70s bass history!😊
  13. Hi there, Yes, it's still available but I don't have the plexiglass bridge cover I'm afraid. The badge on the headstock is what it came with when I bought it, and its also as the previous owner found it when he acquired it in the 1970s from its original owner. I also gig with it (a 2.5 hour set) using a wide leather strap, and have found it OK for me.. but it is almost 11 lb in weight so I realise that won't be the case for everybody. I'm based on the south coast in Littlehampton, West Sussex but am quite happy to ship the bass. Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any other questions.
  14. Very cool! And with the original case too... GLWTS
  15. [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1486227319' post='3230186'] It's that time when we all get together to choose another 12 new numbers for the band. Been looking for something to buck things up a bit and came across this little gem. I think it'll be a winner as the original was huge in Europe and I think it'll be great fun to play. 99 red balloons by Goldfinger. Anybody else do it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-qfzH0vnOs [/quote] We do it and it goes down a storm at every gig!
  16. All PMs now answered and time for a Saturday BUMP! 😊
  17. Great cab with really intelligent mods and upgrades, from a very knowledgeable and respected forum member... What's not to like? GLWTS
  18. Echoing all that's been said above already; he was a fabulous musician and we've lost far too many of his calibre recently.. RIP
  19. Just realised that I haven't BUMPED this in a while, so BUMP for a price drop to £375 o.n.o.
  20. [quote name='squire5' timestamp='1485202050' post='3222092'] Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame became a salmon farmer up on the Isle of Skye.He owns a large estate there. [/quote] IIRC, he also owned a record pressing plant called SRT that his daughter ran for him.. And Fergal Sharkey was an A&R guy for Polydor in the early 90s I believe.. had some very wide-shouldered, 'power-dressing suits' that were as far away from his punky Undertones look as you could possibly imagine.
  21. [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1485363293' post='3223414'] Here's me admitting it was a 'bit tatty' to the buyer then Nik I think you knew that though, a fair price etc. It was a while ago. I would likely have ket a mint one. Definitely something special about them. I hope you're well Peter [/quote] I'm well thanks Peter - hope you are too! That T40 had plenty of Mojo as I recall and was perfect for my tastes, as I like a bass to have that roadworn look. My BC Rich Eagle has plenty of battle scars, but so it should as it's over 30 years old. I had an absolutely pristine JV series Squier P Bass once and had to sell it because I was afraid to use it because it was in such immaculate condition.. Anyway, back on topic, this thread is giving me serious T40 GAS! 😀
