There's a bloke in Blackpool selling an Epi Korina Black Explorer, start £200, BIN £400. I mailed him last week pointing out Thomann,new, £228.66, free delivery, manufacturers warranty. Did the same to a different bloke in Cambridge 2 weeks before. He was also £200 starting, saying no longer made, rare as Rockin Horse %£^& blah. Told bloke in Blackpool I'm a 52 year old dinosaur who found the above new bass in less than 1 minute. Perhaps other interested parties might? Offered him £150 collected when he doesn't sell it. Surprisingly no bids yet. Karl

[quote name='ironside1966' post='918251' date='Aug 7 2010, 07:01 PM']I have done that a few times my advice would be, home work, home work home work. You say they are copy key but it’s worth checking. Write the songs downs it doesn’t have to be a score and it doesn’t matter if only you know what it means but the process of writing it down helps you remember them. Try to get a live recording for the endings and if some of the songs links. Just be yourself and enjoy[/quote] Ditto. I did exactly this in similar circs, about 5 months ago. That was after a 5 year lay off. I was lucky, I got 3 rehearsals, but we only covered a dozen or so of the 37 songs. Work at it, be confident and enjoy. Best of luck.

PS, in the unlikely event you are going anywhere North of Birmingham in the next month or so, would you let me know and perhaps we may be able to arrange to meet up, with one of the cabs going to me? I am in a position to buy one of these cabs before selling my Aquilar 2x10. The only true reason I want an SWR 2X10 is because I am a rig tart, and want it all matching SWR. Especially those lovely Chrome grills! Regardless Ross, good luck and my thanks, Karl.

Hi Andy. I had a kinda Purpleheart one of these maybe 10 year ago. I also struggled to sell mine when the time came. I ended up part ex-ing it against a big Marshall rig, which I sold when I packed up for 5 years. Staggeringly good bass, but I think it's a relatively specialist market. Hang on in there and good luck. PS potential punters, top guy to deal with, gear really well looked after PPS. Someone buy his SWR 750x, I am weakening!!!!!! I don't NEED 750 watts.

[quote name='bassmanAzz' post='895811' date='Jul 15 2010, 05:32 PM']hey man you still looking to sell the head? could i have some specs of it aswell cheers Aaron[/quote] Hello Aaron. If the 1 x15 is 8ohms, sell parts of your anatomy to get that and the head. With your 8ohm 4x10 you will have an excellent rig. Good luck!!! Karl. PS, sorry for thread hijack!!!

Why don't more sellers of basses include sound clips
karlfer replied to Annoying Twit's topic in General Discussion
Sorry Clarky, due to age factor I was a village idiot before you! What I always offer to anybody interested in any bass I have for sale, is for me to play it over the phone,at my expense, BEFORE they come to see it. Not infallible I know, and open to unscrupulessness (does that word exist?), but I let them know what equipment is being used, settings etc. The little feedback I have seems to give creedence to me not being a scammer. I really don't have the life expectancy to figure out YouTube. Regardless of all this, I really wont buy a bass now without trying it, although I did recently get lucky with Old Gits 70's re-issue P, it fits like a glove. From Wigan, going back into my cobbled roof cave now. -
1st gig tonight since........................

[quote name='Rayman' post='885743' date='Jul 4 2010, 07:52 PM']Awesome, looks like a good do, and better than some of the holes I've played recently. Nice rig by the way.[/quote] Smashing rig, bet you wish you had that in the 80's. Is that a new sunburst Geddy? Can't quite make out the bridge. I did my 1st gig for 5/6 years couple of months back (band,BBGM) similar set to you. Was bricking it the 1st night. The other lads handed me a little pressie just before we went on. It was a nappy! Well done you. You deserve to enjoy the buzz for all the effort. All the best mate, Karl. -
OK, so tiny bit more tweaking this week. Gig last night, told to turn it down by guitard at sound check, even though only one not through PA. Original bassist/vocalist for Twin Lizzy there, came up at end of gig, said bass sound was superb and asked what the bass was (Lakland Daryll Jones). (No prizes for guessing what his main bass is!) Chuffed to bits. I am so grateful to you guys for sorting me out when I was in spoilt brat mode. All the best, Karl.

I wish I had been a little more patient and NOT bought my SWR 350X head BEFORE you agreed to split this. I would certainly have bought this long before now, as I am quite happy to look like the Vera Duckworth of bass. Dont like the sound of the SWR as much as the Ashdown I sold to fund it! I was really interested in it, but impatient for a more powerful head. Good luck and have a bumpo dude.

Sold Pending Cash and Collection
karlfer replied to StevieD_FenderP2009's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hi stevie D etc. I have just sold my perfect, Made in Uk Mag 300 2x10t. At the time this was made, the only real difference between the Mag and ABM heads was the EQ section and the valve pre amp. The components were pretty much the same. I needed to raise funds for an SWR 350 X I had bought. I got a pathetic £150 for my superb Ashdown Mag combo. That despite a week on ebay, 40+watchers and zero bids! Annoyingly I don't like the sound of the SWR as much as the Ashdown, and regret selling my Mag 2x10t. Sadly because of issue a couple of years back, all Ashdowns seem to be tarred with the same brush. Raze has a cracking "blinged up", UK made ABM for sale at £310, which I should have bought instead of the SWR.He's had it up for quite a while, however I don't want to go through all the sh*t of trying to sell something, so soon after the last time. Moral of the story? Hold on to it if you can. If not, be very patient, it may take a while. All the best, Karl. -
OK, so followed you 2 guys advice. Been experimenting every night this week. Gig last night, big hotel/pub near Wigan. Sound checked at half time in the football. Lead guitard did walkabout with his wireless, came back reporting rig sounded FANTASTIC! Certainly no tone or volume issues. Fearing the worst response after Englands performance, seemed a packed pub decided if they couldn't party with England, they would party with BBGM. Still always surprised seeing 20 to 50 year olds bouncing about to things like Freebird and Am I Evil. Drummer from the last band I was in,and the drummer from Twin Lizzy both there and both genuinely enjoyed the gig. Thanks guys, I am so relieved. The help guys like you give freely on this forum is why it's such a bloody good place to be. I really can't thank you enough, Cheers, Karl.

Many thanks again fellas. Mother buggering off home tomorrow, so will be time to start experimenting and annoying the Mrs. Hopefully will get closer by Friday nights gig (yes, we are playing on the same night as England!). All the best lads, Karl.

Cheers JTUK, going to be patient and follow your advice. I know it's me that's the problem and you have given me a great deal to work with to get the sound I am looking for. This forum is great when folk are stumped and get good people like you giving their time and experience to help them. Can't stretch as far as the Aguilar, but there is a WorkingPro 4x10 on evilbay that I have just put a bid on. If I get it, I will sell the UK Ashdown Mag 4x10. All I need now is for my mother to bugger off home so I can make some noise! All the best, Karl.
