    Maxell M9V Well,ummm,it's a battery Anonymous 14.07.2016 If you're looking for a 9v battery, this is a 9v battery. It provides power to things that require a 9v battery As a helicopter, totally useless. As a 9v battery, perfect. It will provide power for a certain amount of time, after that time elapses it will no longer provide power. As such it serves as a metaphor for the ephemeral and transient nature of being and provides proof(if any were needed)that entropy is the prevailing force in our all too brief existence. Also it tickles your tongue if you lick it. Hope you found this useful, next week's topic...trousers first ,THEN shoes. Show less

    Can't believe these are still here now £400 PMT currently selling these for over £500 each Decided to let these go as I don't have studio space any more, don't have time any more and it just seems a shame to leave them languishing in a box since the move back. I'm sure you know how good these are and how much they cost new. Best price I can find is £435 each but they seem to be out of stock. Shops that do have them, seem to be around the £495 mark. They work perfectly, but as I no longer have the boxes , they've picked up a few light scuffs along the way which I have attempted to show in the pics rather than try and cover it up with auto dash-shine😂 Pretty impossible to post due to immense weight of these units so collection from Norfolk preferred however, if you sort the courier and insure them, I'll pack them to the best of my ability but the risk is yours.

    Probably of no interest unless you have a passion for all things vintage Premier drum Co or, maybe your drummist has. Full set of 5 Premier deadhead practice pads, in the original (slightly tatty) box. 12" 13" 14" 16" and 22" for the kick (with the two clamps) I switched from drums to bass in about 1985 and seem to remember these being around then so approaching 40 years old. Great for a collector as obviously there are better systems for actual use on the market these days. For the age, these are in fabulous condition. All pads in brilliant condition. Collection from IP25 Ashill but happy to pack up and post at cost.

    2006, France. Music bar. I'm depping in a seven piece blues band. Alain, the keyboard player, whilst technically brilliant, was a nightmare to play with. He'd spent the previous five years in a jazzy trio, drums, rhythm guitar and him so, he'd played all the bass, all the solos and couldn't help over playing. You wouldn't have even noticed if me, or the two guitarists and the harmonica player had left the stage. We got to the end of the first set. I unplugged my bass (active) popped it on the stand and went out front to have a smoke. The first thing I see is two feet, waggling, about 18" off the ground. The harmonica player has him pinned up against the front window, screaming at him in french except for the English words. " My fu#k#ng solos" 😂 I was told he'd left after the next gig with a "no time to really commit to a band" excuse.

    A reverse "Stone henge" moment Back in France, a french guitarist I knew called me to say he'd picked up a gig for one of the wealthier communes yearly fete so could we put a band together. Fee, 1,000€. They had also apparently agreed to supply a P.A but which we, would have set up and asked what we needed. We were the only band (Blues trio) I told him as it was purely for vocals (me, so one mic) 600 watts + foldback would do fine as we were purely using backline for the bass and guitar. We arrived, to find.... No engineer but, Eight x active 400w tops. Four x active 600w subs Two x 1,000 power amps One x 24 channel passive mixer One x 1200w 16 channel powered mixer Four x 300w foldback monitors 10 top stands 8 mic stands 4 large chests of cabling, all piled up on the stage with no room for the band. The guitarist, had written down 6,000w We ended up using two tops, two monitors and one mic stand and left the rest piled up at the back. 😂

    Decided to let this cool piece of 80's bass history go as it's quite a bit heavier than the EBS Session I use for small gigs and rehearsals. Works great for my EUB 5 string and normal electric bass (low B's no problem) Original orange tolex in surprisingly good condition for 40+ years old. All knobs present and working. No rips in front cover. Front Panel Inputs Hi & Lo, Vol / Tre / Mid / bass Back panel. Line out / Bi amp / Pre out / Main in / Headphone / Ext speaker (8 Ohm) On/Off No buzzes or farts just lovely well rounded warm tone and, an ideal height for playing sitting down if you had to. Plenty of scratched and chipped paint on the back panel is testament that this lump has been around, fought the battles and returned home. Happy to trade for a NEW set of La Bella 750T white nylons (5 string long scale) It's 16 Kgs so ideally collected as I've not got any packaging for this. Welcome to come and try. Happy to meet up though within 15 miles if it helps.

    Ha ha, that was supposed to be 9.9/10 Sorry for the confusion.

    Marus Elwood 5a in antique violin. Delano pups. Jazz + MM. sounds, looks and plays beautifully. New DR Dragon skins. Marus gig bag and documents. 9.9 / 10 cond. Ideally looking for a trade with a sixer as my carpal tunnel op appears to have sorted the reason I permanently dropped down to 5 strings. So, what have you? Not really a fan of Ibanez basses. As nice as they play, really don't like that headstock. Fretted only please. May be able to add a little to the deal if it's something nice. Must be 34" or 33" No 35s. Loads more pics on request. Thanks

    Bit daft really as a month ago I was considering packing up playing altogether and getting rid of the lot🥴
  15. leschirons
    Just given it a two hour work out playing along to a load of smooth groove backing trax. It's really warm and well rounded. The carpal tunnel op has really helped although it was probably a little too soon to start playing again after three weeks.

    A classic. 100%

    Squire P bass, couple of bridges, straps, leads, 2 old but working SM58s, a mex Strat, a 5 watt valve head and a 2x12 Celestion loaded Laney guitar cab.

    A very early (judging by the serial number) Roland Cube bass 60. Made in Japan. Think this is from first production year as the serial is only 4 digits long out of eight. All works, and I can't believe how great it sounds. Even handles the low B on my EUB 5 string. It's not light and it's been seriously gigged but the original tolex is in fabulous condition for what must be 45 years old. Not sure , but I assume it's the original 12" in there. Sounds incredible.

    The OP hasn't actually mentioned that the band are against the idea of another member. Just a thought. I've been in this three instrument line up many times. Tips. 1) Pick the right songs. ie, ones that suit the line up. 2) Find the right guitarist who's prepared to put the song before the ego. (Not suggesting yours is like that) 3) Get in a 2nd guitar or keys. 4) Do your own arrangements to suit your line up. Last band I played with in this format was brilliant. Mainly down to the guitarist's attitude and willingness to experiment until it worked. Probably the best guy I've ever played with in that situation. One occasional problem was the lack of particular chord changes behind a solo that would normally make the solo work however, the bass can imply those chord changes albeit not replace them.

    Although you can slice a tomato or hard boiled egg whilst passing it to the person opposite.

    My Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 12T combo + ext cab. Light, loud, reliable, compact, does any gig, even EUB 5 string. Probably worth bugger all nowadays but it'll see me out.

    A bistro with live music? In Norfolk? Where's that Pat? Sounds like a place to check out. (As a customer) Glad it went okay for you. As you say, a new venue will need to build a reputation.

    Ariel Square four? You were spoilt rotten. 1968? Ford Thames van? Two seats? We were a trio! I had to sit on the engine cover in the middle!! Arse already on fire when we arrived at every gig!!!!!

    I do love a sitting gig at my age. Lovely little jazz club in SW France near where we used to live. Went down great. Percussionist couldn't make tonights gig but still worked well. Well paid, but I would have done tonights and last nights shows for nothing as the sax/keys player is gravely ill and it was simply an honour to have been asked to provide the low end on what may well be one of his last gigs.

    Just seen this ad on FB. It's advertising the world's most spectacular Taylor Swift tribute show or rather, the auditions for a "Taylor" which appears to be the bit they're actually missing in the lineup. Sort of reminds me of those "Do you want to join my Queen tribute act? Looking for a Freddie, a Brian, a Roger and a John"🤣
