  1. And now an Oscar-winning documentary!
  2. No name jazz pups that were swapped out. They’re in a Fender 60s Jazz pup box, but definitely aren’t Fender. Maybe someone can use them? Buyer pays postage.
  3. Having a clear out and came across these. Besides being Bill Lawrence jazz pups I’m afraid I don’t know the model etc. No screws as I used them on another bass. Will send in an EMG box. Buyer pays postage.
  4. I imported this gorgeous strap from Italia Leather in the US for $130. It’s chocolate brown on the outside and a kind of toffee colour on the inside with a suede sweat wicking, grippy surface. This is the long version (I’m 6 foot 2) but it’s adjustable. Barely used as I switched to DB shortly after buying it. It’s wide (4 inches) and quite possibly the comfiest strap in creation. Please refer to the Italia Leather site for full information. Postage at buyer’s cost, but shouldn’t be too bad.
  5. I know it’s absolutely no help when people write comments like ‘if I had £5k spare this would be mine’, but in this case it happens to be true. Gorgeous looking instrument… GLWTS. edit: I’m not implying it isn’t true when others say it. Oh god, tied myself in knots.
  6. I find a wind machine positioned in the wings to my left really helps me 'pop' from a visual perspective.
  7. Lovely 30-min doc about DB player Orin O’Brien on Netflix at the moment called Only Girl in the Orchestra. One of her former students plays solo from Mozart’s Per Questa Bella Mano and it’s breathtaking
  8. Acquired secondhand on here as part of my quest for the ultimate amplified DB sound, but left languishing when I decided that for me at least a simple Realist was sufficient. At the height of my love affair with the Schertler I went all in buying - direct from Switzerland - ruinously expensive accessories including a belt clip, the bridge clamp and a brand new cork for the business end of the pup. The preamp has obvious signs of wear on its surface (see pics) but otherwise this fiendishly sophisticated bit of kit is good to go. Imagine the fun you’ll have shaping the cork to your own spec, the gasps of admiration from band mates when they see the preamp attached to your belt. How would I describe the sound of the Stat B? Good question. Compared to a realist it’s definitely more DB-like. You can hear string noise etc, but unlike a mic you’re not going to pick up (pun intended) other instruments or trigger a gale of feedback. So yeah, very attenuated, but ultimately not for me. I’m hoping someone can use this as intended. This set is £490 on the Thomann site, but I’m offering it at a price that won’t leave you suffering remorse if it doesn’t turn you into Ron Carter overnight. Free postage within the UK.
  9. I’m selling my spare AI head as I have a newer Clarus. AI are sadly no longer with us, but their amps are stellar in terms of producing a flat ‘hi fi’ sound that’s perfect for DB in particular. Little bit of paint loss here and there and one of the rack mount ‘wings’ is slightly bent. Otherwise good to go. I’ve copied this spec from online: It has (2) independent channels. Each channel has Volume...Bass...Mid...Treble...and Effects Level controls. Each channel has 1/4" Send and Return jacks. Each channel has combined XLR/1/4" I/P jacks. Each channel has selectable Phantom Power. Each channel has a Notch/Cut Filter with a Range of 30Hz-800Hz. Digital Effects include Hall...Room...Plate...Delay...Ambient Chorus...and Flange. There is a Master volume. XLR Direct O/P. Pre/Post EQ Selection. Mute Button. Ground Lift. (2) Speakon O/P Jacks. comes with kettle lead, but no case. Will be carefully packaged and sent at buyer’s cost… or pick it up in Somerset (TA11) or London.
  10. Been playing DB for several years now and gigging with a gypsy jazz band. Looking for opportunity to play jazz, jazzy blues etc with others. No set ambitions at this point. Oh, and I’m 60, so if you don’t want to hang out with someone you’re dad’s age that might be worth factoring in. I’m near Glastonbury/Yeovil. Cheers
  11. Luke’s moved back to NZ. Bass was on consignment at a UK dealer, but can’t remember which one I’m afraid
  12. What a warhorse! And what a sound. If I was looking for/could afford a new DB one with this kind of pedigree would be it. GLWTS
