    what tune/band that got you into bass ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    It was 1983 and my sis, who was studying music at the RNCM and sharing a house with a bass player, bought me Level 42 - Level 42 and Weather Report - Heavy Weather, so for me it was Mark King and Jaco with Love Games and Birdland respecively. I went on to discover Stanley Clark, Marcus Miller, Bernard Edwards and a host of others.

    I've just bought a bass off Tom... what a lovely lovely guy - a true gent. The bass is fab and I had a really enjoyable couple of hours chatting, playing most of his collection :) and drinking tea!

    I sincerely hope we meet again Tom!

    Cheers

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='731322' date='Feb 1 2010, 07:59 AM']My band wants to do a bit of an acoustic thing mid set so it looks like I'm going to need an electro acoustic. Any recommendations fellas - I don't want to spend a wad on it but it has to play and sound decent.

    I have a Michael Kelly Dragonfly 5... it works for me and the inlays look the dogs if you ike that kind of thing. Good VFM even if I did have to import if from Texas. I have found that the strings on an acoustic make a huge difference. Good ones make the bass sound great but bad ones can give you a really duff tone - more marked IME than with a pure electric. The Thomastic-Infeld are my favourites, but a bit fragile and effing expensive.

    Crikey.. Yes, no problem... and amp, stool, passenger the lot. Had one a few years back and it was great. One of my exes used to get two timps and a pile of other tuned percussion in to a Mondeo hatch... tons of space.

    TRADED++ Yamaha TRB5ii ++TRADED

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Pete1967

    Esteemed colleagues... I have here a late 90's vintage Yamaha TRB5ii. Now I know that these aren't the most sought after basses, but I've decided to put this baby up for sale or trade because, on recent reflection, I'd like to keep a four in my arsenal. I have another 5 it's way from Jon Shuker in a few weeks time and despite thinking that there wasn't a place for a four in my life - I find there is after all... and I have to admit to a bout of GAS over a couple of basses currently available.

    So, it is what it is, I'm sure this audience is already educated! My main bass until last year when my first Shuker arrived. Well played (because it's good) but well looked after. There are a few very minor scratches in the lacquer and one noticible ding (a falling guitar stand, grr...) in the front, but even that is not large. All the electronics and hardware are in perfect condition. The action is low and fast and accurate and it's strung with a recent set of Elites Stadium 45-130. Comes with the original hard case (keys inc) which is in mint condition (because I always used a gig bag) and users manual :rolleyes: The finish is translucent blue as you can see, and I have more pics available if needed.

    Sale wise £425 but will most certainly talk about offers. Shipping extra, at cost (guessing £30 in the case), collection from Leeds, or I'd travel an hour or so for a drop off or meet.

    Trade wise I'm looking for a jazz (style) four string. Jazz neck and pups or MM/J or maybe just MM. P basses aren't really my thing. Very open to ideas and WHYous so hit me with suggestions. I can add some cash up to a couple of hundred quid (bearing in mind I owe Jon a four figure sum :) ).

    Please do PM or post if you want more specifics on either the TRB or trade requirements.

    Cheers

    SOLD... Boss ME6B and Zoom BFX708 ...SOLD

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Pete1967

    Folks, I'm having a New Year declutter, simple as! I don't have space for these and they're just winding me, and more importantly my Wife, up!

    Boss ME6B - Bought by me sometime in the early 90's I guess, I really can't remember. A veteran of hundreds of gigs and it must have a thousand stories to tell, but it's in great condition and working perfectly as of this afternoon. A genuine vintage original! Complete with power supply, but the manual went years ago! What's it worth...? £50??

    Zoom BFX708. Again fully working and hasn't see serious action because I never did have a powersupply for it - I will include a nice shiny set of batteries tho' :) Pretty much as new and bought by me in the late 90's I think. I have found a manual on t'interweb which I'll print and include. Again, what's it worth...? £40??

    Shipping extra, at cost, to anywhere in the EU.
