  1. Short answer: yes, it is possible. Long answer: it is possible, provided that you have a nice external soundcard running on Firewire or USB 2.0 (or greater) and enough processing power (which isn't too much). But yes, of course, I've been playing live through my laptop since 2007 or so.
  2. I actually think it is white, but then again, my girlfriend tells me I am useless when it comes to colours. I'll try to shoot a picture with some reference.
  3. I've just bought the fretted J of my dreams and have decided to let go of this fretless one. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but there's only so many basses I can have. [b]Not interested in trades.[/b] I am not entirely sure, but I believe this is a (very well done) fretless conversion. I do not know enough about fretless fenders to know that for sure (or to care, for that matter). It plays very well and it is in great condition (full stop, not just for a 10-yo bass). I'd say that shipping is possible, but collection from London is preferred. If shipped, it will come in a battered hardshell case. Pics: Video (do note that the action was set lower than low, hence the occasional buzzing): [media]http://youtu.be/EgHuoXHpG7w[/media]
  4. I bought a bass from Paul in the smoothest of transactions. The bass arrived the next morning, perfectly packed and surpassing my wildest expectations. Recommended!
  5. I played this beauty a while longer and realised with horror the mistake I was about to make. Withdrawn, withdrawn, and withdrawn.
  6. [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1460019162' post='3021750'] Loved the playing. Bass sounds great too [/quote] Thanks man! Aaand bump!
  7. So, for a very limited time, as there is something I really like on the marketplace, I am considering selling this beauty. This is a truly fantastic bass, of which I am probably not worthy. Reason I am selling is that I might go back to simpler five-string bolt on basses after all. Most importantly, I am not fully convinced yet. So, FEELER. As to the rest, I bought it new in Italy some time back and I have the original semi-hard case and all the fancy tools that come with it. Other than changing strings and setting it up with a lower action, this is as close as it comes out of the box as it gets. Pick up from London preferred. Scroll down to see me playing this beauty (some strange tapping extravaganza). Will do other pics and samples, as soon as I have time, if need be.

  8. If I recall correctly, they were developed (or perhaps simply marketed) in Italy by Galeazzo Frudua, who does have some reputation for his boutique basses. I honestly have no idea how they sound.
  9. [quote name='BigAlonBass' timestamp='1459410438' post='3016181'] I only found out myself a few weeks ago. There's an American film with the same title, and apparently, if you're blessed with a bit of good luck, it's good karma to do something nice for someone else in return. We would probably have said "pass it on" before Americanisms took over. [/quote] Sorry lads, I did learn this language hanging around Americans, and I guess it reflects on how I word things sometimes—though a long stay in the British academia has forced me to reconsider my -[i]ize[/i] spellings.
  10. [quote name='supabock' timestamp='1459168115' post='3014021'] PM'd [/quote] Aaaand, I think we have a taker with a nice project in mind!
  11. I got this very nice fretless neck for free from Roman (of this board) and could not find the time to try it on my previous J. Eventually I got a proper fretless J and called it a day. I've had it on my desk for months and I figured it would be better if someone who actually uses it would have it. So, free to collect, possibly from North or Central London.
  12. So, I was lucky enough to be the first to message CamdenRob when he posted his ad in this very board. Rob gave this to me with the implied understanding that I would pay it forward when the time came, rather than sell it on ebay for the equivalent of an ostensibly limited number of pints. Well, there you have it! It plays well, it's been loved and cared for. All is okay, except perhaps one fret is a bit lower than I'd like it to be with my crazy-low actions. (Most people cannot play my basses anyways, so it is unlikely anyone else will have my same problem.) At the moment, it's wearing a carbon-fiber looking vinyl wrap over the pickguard. Can be removed very easily, but I cannot be bothered at the moment. In any event, [b]FREE BASS[/b] in N7, London. Pick up only. (Sorry, don't have much time these days.) [b]There will be a strictly enforced FCFS policy.[/b] To have it you must satisfy [s]three[/s] four conditions: 1) You must be the first to [b]PM[/b] me; 2) You must be able to [b]pick up[/b] the bass today or in the near(est) future; 3) You must promise (to the whole of Basschat!) that, when you're done with the bass, if ever, you will [b]pay it forward, either with the bass itself or otherwise[/b]; 4) [b]Understand that I am off to brunch[/b] and might well be unable to read and reply to your messages until later today. Ready, set, go!
  13. Hey gang, I found peace with an SG and selling this very nice strat copy. It's in good shape (some scratches and stuff, though not quite "battered") but plays very, very well. Pick up from London strongly preferred! Pics: http://imgur.com/a/dM2YC
  14. I have the six string version of this bass. It's possibly the first instrument that has seriously made me doubt whether I was worthy of it. Have a free bump, and good luck with the sale!
