  1. This vid is on here somewhere, but having gone looking today and being unable to find it, thought I'd post it again.
  2. And the players, toy musical instruments but outstanding musicians
  3. Brilliant, made my morning. Chorus missed JE’s descending bass part though didn’t it?
  4. It’s a Mex Fender for £200. Am I missing something?
  5. Ironically, and much like DBs, it's often at the lower end of the price spectrum that you'll find an instrument that'll really cut through. Good advice CB
  6. Acoustic basses don't work as acoustic basses in anything but the quietest of situations. Mine - a good quality Breedlove - can't be heard above an acoustic guitar or mandolin played at even moderate volume. Adopting the same techniques as DB players to be heard - slapping and/or finding an acoustic sweet spot - can help, but will never overcome the problem fully
  7. Bought these as a stopgap but never used them. Just taking up space now. They're good as both floor monitors or can be pole mounted also. Currently selling for £28 each https://www.thomann.de/gb/laney_cxp112.htm. They have been used no more than one hour! Collection from Canterbury or I can courier at buyers expense Cheers Chris
  8. Need some stuff gone ahead of some upcoming travel. so £300 plus courier gets the cab. It's in almost perfect condition and is a suprisingly easy carry. Original cover and hangtags included
  9. One Traditional Powerhouse 2x10 cab left, happy to talk offers
  10. I get what to my ear is the tone on the track with a fretless with no FX. I'm not suggesting that others would necessarily agree
  11. Totally normal for that model, bridge weighed about the same as the rest of the bass
  12. Walkabout and both cases (Bronco & gig bag) now sold
  13. Tell me about it, not many of us real men left Harry! Having said that, a real man from up-north has just bagged the 1x15. One down, four to go! Cheers Chris
  14. Just checked eBay for Mesa gear and have to admit it's going bloody cheap, pretty shocking the difference in price between new and used. I'll revise the prices here accordingly Walkabout Head £450 Gig Bag £25 Bronco Hard Case £75 Standard Powerhouse 1x15 £250 Traditional Powerhouse 2x10 £400 each Great prices for great gear. Having brought them to the house from studio I would prefer to shift them soon rather than put it all back hence the prices, so let's consider the above prices an Easter offer that I'l probably withdraw once I'm back at work Cheers Chris
  15. I became the guy with the '57 GT California who was made tangibly unhappy by the mere thought of the existence of a '57 250 TR Re technique not technology, there's also a big positive in a new challenge; compared to bass mandolin is a bloody difficult instrument to master, the degree of mechanical precision required of both hands is ludicrous. After an hour or so on mandolin playing anything on a bass feels ten times easier!
  16. Greg, you're a star, much appreciated, but don't worry, I'll still be playing some bass, albeit in the studio as opposed to in a band, I still find noodling around on fretless high therapeutic. Really appreciated the offer though mate, thank you
  17. Details at Roland site here https://www.roland.com/uk/products/pm-3/ Mine is well used and does not come with the clamps on the HF units. Great unit for electronic drums or key. If you're into dub, it's also quite a nice bass amp (unplug the HFs). Weighs marginally less than a medium-sized planet so collection/meet-up only. I'll post photos of mine tomorrow Cheers Chris
