Don't let him smell the rat!

Get a '57 or a '58. If you're bothered about how much they are, buy 2nd hand. People will always want them and you can sell them back in that market easy. Don't buy a new one from eBay or Amazon market place, those places are flooded with fakes.

Nice! Two things I've gassed for for years.

I used to gig a JCM800 bass series. Bit of a one trick pony but like nothing else at it's one trick

Bit weird that Steven Addler has nearly twice as much cash as Mick Fleetwood. I'm surprised he's got any left.

The bridge I prefer over the BBOT, the Gotoh, and a Badass III (not ever owned a II) is the Fender High Mass bridge that comes on more recent US standards. It's rock solid.

If it wasn't for the bass and drums that would be alright that. Mostly the bass though. Right from the off, the best riffs and hooks are all slightly out of time and the tone is rubbish.

Very dashing

The drummer and I tend to be the most arsey about on stage mix. Him cos the guitar amps are usually too far forward for him to hear. Me because I'm the one most afraid of not being able to hear what pitch the note is I'm playing. Which has happened more than once. Though one time it was atrocious. Relying on foldback sometimes really isn't a good idea. Maybe ok during a soundcheck but 2 songs in and every note just making the stage vibrate with no discernible pitch is a horrible place to be. Especially when FOH it's fine... That engineer was not offered a pint at half time... FOH we leave to the engineer but I tend to have a wander out front with my long cable to have a listen.

Yeah. Crown - or see if you can find a 2nd hand C-Audio or a Chevin. Both British built, both solid, both usually cheaper than Crown amps. There's a C-Audio on ebay...

Nowt wrong with the speakers. Cab belonged to my mates dad from new I believe and wasn't overworked. It's then spent some year being an occasional guitar cab / stored in a studio. I'd be happy with it as is if was using a valve head and wasn't bothered about wheels and weight.

If I'd have bought a bass on here for [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] €1700 and it wasn't as described, then the seller gave my concerns about that short shrift... I'd have no qualms whatsoever about leaving a dirty great **** in their feedback thread. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In fact I'd feel a little obligated to!

I've texted him to ask how much he wants for the Vox...

nt - wrong thread

I have a vintage Vox 2x15 in my garage that belongs to my mate. I know he wants to sell it, but he doesn't know how much for or what it's worth. Bit of a rare model it seems. There's a thread here > [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/146312-vox-2x15/page__p__1308206__hl__vox__fromsearch__1#entry1308206"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/146312-vox-2x15/page__p__1308206__hl__vox__fromsearch__1#entry1308206[/url] Which highlights just about how much I know about this and cabs in general. In fact it highlights that I can't even read. I don't know why I'm bringing it back up

Cool.

It goes... der der derr derr dun de ddeeer dun dun dun de de derr de dunn dunnnn... etc. I'd never try to learn to play it on the bass... I have pepper corns that need counting...

[quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1342642671' post='1738642'] And don't even get me started on The Hard Day's Night Hotel, I'd love to know what the Beatles would have thought about having a place running pretty much entirely off their images and playing their music outside on a constant loop during the day 45 years after they broke up. I cringe walking past there. [/quote] I dare say they'd say exactly the same as today... "How much are we gerrin' fer tha'?"

[quote name='Jazz Bass 65' timestamp='1342634597' post='1738437'] As I said Sunday in the Cavern was great, but on Monday nearly all of the venues that had been belting out music the previous evening were closed although there were plenty of visitors including many from overseas including a high percentage from the far east. if you go on the Beatles Experience you only get one night in your hotel, I felt very sorry for those who'd arrived on Monday expecting to hear the 'Liverpool Sound' only to be subjected to self penned (rule of the house no covers) Suicide notes at the open mic night in the Cavern Bar and busking in the Cavern Club. We payed to stay another night as we'd enjoyed the Sunday sessions to say that it was a bit of a letdown would be an understatement. Go to Nashville and there we found umpteen bands all over town most nights during our two visits [/quote] Yeah, Liverpool doesn't make the most out of it during the week. If we were in America, the whole of Matthew Street would be (even more) Beatles-centric and it would go on 8 days a week. Probably the council that are against it. Probably need all the Sgt. Pepper's uniforms for their Monday afternoon shenanigans.

Sounds like someone running a stick up and down some railings
