  1. I'd recommend heavier strings on a short scale: 110-50 to overcome flabbiness. They can be a bit dull sounding.
  2. [quote name='Davo-London' timestamp='1452038237' post='2945887'] We are obsessed with singers in the UK. I'd rather listen to instrumentalists. Davo [/quote] Yep.

  4. THE best little amp in the world. I've had one of these for years.
  5. Still here!
  6. [quote name='neilmurraybass' timestamp='1450736147' post='2935427'] You can put regular E A D G strings on, if you can find ones that are long enough, especially the bottom E. (Some day I'll figure out how to embed photos in my posts!) [/quote]
  7. Still here! [b][size=8]£30! c'mon![/size][/b]
  8. I'll always associate him with Joe Zawinul''s exotic Latin Jazz compositions and being an equal part of one of the greatest bands of all time. Context is everything and people may prefer his Joni Mitchell and Weather Report stuff to the intense spotlight focused on his bass in the solo albums. His role in the development of bass playing is so obvious it hardly needs a mention.

  10. [i]Far[/i] too many to mention. This is a ridiculous task.
  11. Sunday's gig in a chilly but pleasant venue featuring my one-note per chord bass line. http://youtu.be/RpvkF1T7xCE

  14. [quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1447406789' post='2907352'] Where in south London? [/quote] Deptford/Greenwich
  15. Sorry, I won't be holding it or reserving it for more than a couple of days so the first person to pay and collect (preferably in cash) gets it. Trying to clear some space...
  16. Endless tone shaping and a famously unique compressor onboard ...all for the price of a round of drinks.
  17. Collect from South London
  18. [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Up for sale...a piece of history: the amp head I used with [/font][/color][url="https://www.facebook.com/stumpofficial/"]Stump[/url][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#141823]. Knobs missing, it's certainly seen some service but it's in good working order and is virtually indestructible. A very loud 150watts. Never used the volume past 12o'clock even with a painfully loud drummer like Rob McKahey. Yours for £30.[/color][/font] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color]
  19. [quote name='michele' timestamp='1446798529' post='2902369'] Romeo2 you are right... Not my deal but since it's my previous bass and Davide clearly doesn't have good pics, here I provide some shots from the glorious days this beauty was mine.... [/quote] Stunning. *examines sorry state of bank account*
  20. Still available
  21. Good grief, what a beauty.
  22. You guys....stop worrying about being bass heroes. Just write something you like, arrange it with your band and experience joy.
