  1. I remember the first time i hear Take On Me I was speechless, I pick up a lot of talk about highly skilled and versatile female singers but his voice, his range, and his creativity are up there with many of the best singers in pop, I always felt he could probably have done some opera had he chosen to. He seems to be concerned that the disease will affect his singing, which is great news in a way in that he's clearly still thinking about singing and the future. Great news and I wish him all the best ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ
  2. I placed felt panels between them, admittedly I still had to be careful moving them in and out, but it remained a very nice - and as my daughters put it, very aesthetic - solution for bass storage ๐Ÿ‘
  3. Not an easy lift trust me, I had to move them down the stairs recently, one of those jobs that you realise midway through doing on your own that you need two people for! I do not know Chris but will keep an eye out ๐Ÿ‘ They come up occasionally but often around ยฃ400-450 It is, it's almost worth buying more basses to justify having one, have to say I'm not sure you'd get a 35" 5er in however ๐Ÿค”
  4. Thatโ€™s very tough on him, best wishes to him and his family ๐Ÿ™
  5. Thanks @Pow_22 it's really rather nice, from a distance it looks quite new but close up it has the sort of wear that you can only get from 45-50 years of playing. Resonates rather nicely also, killer bass with that neck on it ๐Ÿ‘
  6. Rehearsed it and it was fabulous, even with relatively inexpensive Squier PUPs and circuit it was everything a Precision should be. Think I've underpriced it ๐Ÿค”
  7. Thatโ€™s what I meant, we knew we had to be careful. I think lightweight lures us into thinking itโ€™s not so easily damaged ๐Ÿ‘
  8. Do not release it onto the moors ๐Ÿ˜† Glorious old thing, please restore it and play it. Itโ€™s strangely beautiful ๐Ÿ‘
  9. Something I love about old-school head is that they require and demand to be treated very carefully, not only because of the risk if damaging the amp, but the associated risk of damaging whatever the amp lands on (my old singerโ€™s โ€˜Mate, your amp broke my carโ€™ springs to mindโ€™). Iโ€™m probably wrong but I do get the sense that most lightweight gear needs to be treated with more care than youโ€™d think ๐Ÿค” Great that itโ€™s fixed @columbusrobbie, thanks for the update ๐Ÿ‘
  10. Hi @Burns-bass, found it during my studio clearout today if you're still interested
  11. Neck is also stunning ๐Ÿ‘
  12. Promised pics
  13. I'm heading to Yorkshire in two weeks but may have to use train depending on timings, I'll keep you posted ๐Ÿ‘
  14. Did you miss Habitat's new 'Bass Furniture' range All joking aside, listing these two here as despite them being a rather elegant piece of storage furniture in their own right, I used them in my studio for years as both seating and instrument storage..... As you can see, a rather elegant solution for the multibass owner, and one that allow you, if you're clever, to keep the true number of basses at home something of a secret ๐Ÿค” Having something of a studio clear-out at present hence the sale Stock photo here, I'll get photos of the actual units up later today/tomorrow. ยฃ300 each. These will be collection only from Whitstable or delivery if I happen to be going your way ๐Ÿ‘
  15. Orโ€ฆโ€ฆ โ€ฆbuy the one that looks best and learn to play it ๐Ÿ‘
  16. I'm going to rehearse this bass tomorrow evening so can give some better feedback afterwards, although I'm starting to fall just a little bit in love with it already to be honest, the action goes stupidly low and given the is very smooth and solid it rather feels like I'm playing a Modulus or Status ๐Ÿค”
  17. Slimming down my studio gear at present, aiming to only have what I need rather than a lot of spare capacity! This has been very well looked after and has probably ad no more than 200hours use (still has the plastic stuff on the display!). I only use it for tracking as I use a UAD Satellite to manage plugins while mixing. Come with all original packaging/documentation. Happy to courier or for collection in person in Whitstable or London Also moving on a pair of Towsend Labs/UAD L22 Sphere modelling mics here

  18. Splitter ๐Ÿ˜
  19. Ha, almost twins..... This had Warmoth Precision neck, beautiful ๐Ÿ‘
  20. If you wanted it in it's current config i.e., with Squier PUP/circuit and no ashtrays it's ยฃ500 , plus as it's a bitsa I'm happy to split ๐Ÿ‘ Weighs in at 4.2kgs so a light-middleweight in my book
  21. I've used Jazzes with Precision necks, simply prefer a Jazz configured that way, as was my main fretless for 3-4 years. I really don't understand why some folks seem to thing it's an aberration ๐Ÿ‘
  22. Probably technically a maple slab, but I'll get some detailed pics up later. Either way no skunk stripe ๐Ÿ‘
  23. This is a bitsa that came together recently and was up for sale in the rather overlong and complex parts sale. Late 70's/early 80's Daion body with a stunning 3tsb, Warmoth maple cap neck, pictured with a Squier circuit but I'm going to install an EMG Geezer PUP and circuit which will to all intents mean nothing will change looks-wise (EMG is also creme). You might notice there's a couple of screws missing, I'll of course sort those! I'll also include PUP and bridge ashtrays. I'll update with detailed photos later today. Courier or collection from Whitstable are both fine by me ๐Ÿ‘
  24. I'm going to close this thread as even I'm confused as to what I've still got and what I've sold (although most of it's now gone). I'll list remaining items separately. Thanks for your interest folks ๐Ÿ‘
