  1. Nah, he was in Britpop band Tiny Monroe and then later in UK Americana act The Snakes. Our drummer is more "famous" as he was in 90s indie band Mega City 4.
  2. Having spent two and a half years recording an album with my good friend Rich, we decided to take some songs out for a road test at the local open mic. A rip roaring success. Richard Davies & the Dissidents go live this year. An indie deal is about to be signed for the record and proper live dates to follow. Loving this phone snap.
  3. An ego led requirement... Nah, I just liked those ones. As I said I spent years playing Squiers quite happily but came into some now long spent cash a while ago and decided that I wanted the best I could get. I'm not precious though, my main player is currently my Japanese Fender P over my American made Jazz. I simply used the term "American made" as I felt it binded the 3 most expensive basses I own.
  4. I had some nice kit, sold it all and did everything on two very decent Squiers (from an album through to some big shows) but came full circle with the realisation that I like to have American made basses as well as budget ones. Sure the Squiers were great but a Fender USA or a Gibson or a Ric are great for my needs too. And it's not like I don't play much. You only live once so I don't want to feel guilty or feel like I have to make excuses.
  5. Black and white strap sold. Only three left - red with white stripe, burgundy and the beige one.
  6. I had 6 about 12yrs ago but I have since calmed down a lot. I kinda liked it when life wasn't so calm!
  7. As part of kit culling / space making I am selling my Olp Stingray copy. It's a monstrous sounding bass and incredible for the money. Looking for £120 and it'll be collection only but I am near the M4 and can be near the A34 too. Only thing worth mentioning is the original owner removed the logo on the headstock for reasons unknown (a pretty tidy job to be fair). I bought a replacement that I can throw in, but never got around to fitting it. I took it to rehearsal the other day and was blown away by how big this sounded, even through rubbish rehearsal room amps. Not interested in any trades as I already mentioned I am needing to downsize. Thanks for looking.
  8. Offered for sale is my Aguilar DB112 in beautiful chocolate finish with an official Aguilar padded cover. I've owned this since new for about 2yrs and I would describe the condition as about 9.5/10. The cover has a tiny scuff on one corner but the cab is well protected and sounds absolutely fantastic. It'd be collection only as I can never get a good deal on posting cabs. PMT currently offer this for £882 which for a handmade New York cab is great. I'm offering mine with the cover for £475. Sorry but no trades as space is at a premium and it's one of a few items I am listing to downsize etc. The spec - The Aguilar DB 112 combines the full low-end extension of the GS 112 with the punchy midrange of the DB series cabinet line. A heavy-duty cast frame Eminence driver is mounted in a rear ported 13 ply Baltic Birch enclosure to create a high-effeciency cabinet that will be focused, musical and sound louder than other boxes of similar size. The DB 112 will sound great and look cool on any stage. Specifications One 12" cast frame woofer, 56 oz. magnet Phenolic tweeter with integral phase plug Custom crossover with variable tweeter control One Neutrik Speakon and two 1/4" inputs Deluxe Strap Handle, Rubber Feet, 13 ply Baltic Birch 3 year limited Warranty Power Handling: 300 watts RMS Frequency Response: 42 Hz - 16 kHz Sensitivity: 95 dB 1W 1M Impedance: 8 ohms Dimensions: 14" H, 19" W, 19" D Weight: 45 lbs
  9. Offered for sale is my Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass Fretless in 3-Colour Sunburst that is essentially a very nice lined fretless. I bought it last year for a recording project that never happened and it's not left the house. These look to be discontinued but were retailing at £350, a lot of bass for the money. Mine only got played at home a few times before being retired to a case and I have been uber lazy in terms of shifting it on. Looking for £275. It'll be collection only as I don't have a case for shipping but I am easily accessible along the M4 / can potentially be around the A34 too. The only difference is I put flats on this but I can restring if it isn't to your tastes.. The spec from Squier is as follows: Vintage Modified Precision Bass Fretless Key Features: Fender Designed Precision Bass Pickup Modern “C” Shaped Neck with Vintage-Tint Vintage Style Chrome Hardware Fretless Ebonol Fingerboard Tortoiseshell Pickguard Vintage Modified Precision Bass Fretless Specs: Body Body Material: Agathis Body Finish: Gloss Polyester Body Shape: Precision Bass Neck Neck Material: Maple Neck Finish: Gloss Polyurethane Neck Shape: Modern “C” Scale Length: 34" (864 mm) Fingerboard Material: Ebonol Fingerboard Radius: 9.5” (241 mm) Number of Frets: Fretless Fret Size: Fretless Nut Material: Synthetic Bone Nut Width: 1.625" (41.3 mm) Position Inlays: Side Dot Truss Rod: Standard Electronics Pickup: Fender-Designed Split Single-Coil Precision Bass Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone Configuration: S Hardware Bridge: 4-Saddle Vintage Style with Single Groove Saddles Hardware Finish: Chrome Tuning Machines: Standard Open-Gear Pickguard: Tortoiseshell Control Knobs: Dome Style Neck Plate: 4-Bolt Squier Miscellaneous Strings: Fender USA Bass 7250ML, NPS, (.045 - .100 Gauges) Other Features: Vintage Tint Neck, Knurled Chrome Dome Control Knobs, Single Disk String Tree
  10. Here's my collection of hand made American straps made from vintage car upholstery vinyl by Couch in the USA. The shortest length hole to hole is 100cm and they go very long indeed! I'm 6ft 3", play low and there is still room to go lower if you have full on ape like arms! All in great condition and all 2" wide / very comfy. With import taxes and delivery these normally sell for about £60 each for the Racer X ones with the beige car seat belt one being nearer £40. I'm offering them at £30 each including UK delivery and £20 for the beige one. These are all 100% vegan / cruelty free and made from recycled American automobile interiors. As used by everyone from Green Day to Queen to Cheap Trick, the Velvet Underground and, um, Beyonce!?
  11. First concert - Ace Frehley's Comet at the Hammy Odeon 1988 Last concert - Michael Monroe (ex Hanoi Rocks) Best concert - Dogs D'Amour on the reformation tour in 2013 in Sheffield Worst concert - Bootleg Beatles in Bath 1995 Loudest concert - Drive By Truckers in Bristol maybe 8 years ago Seen the most - Jesse Malin or The Quireboys Most surprising - Atomic Kitten in Swindon at a free concert. I don't know where to start! Next concert - Backyard Babies (tonight) in Cardiff Wish I would have seen - Elvis Presley with his original band in the 50s
  12. Three short sets at the local open mic with my old school R&B / 60s Garage band The Jimmy Sixes. My weakest band but always loads of fun & last night we were absolutely on it. Dusted down my Ric 4003s which sounded great through the house rig which was a tiny Mark Bass combo.
  13. Sorry guys, this thread isn't happening. It's an emotive topic whatever your views & I don't think we're going to be changing one another's opinions so we'd made the decision to keep Basschat Brexit free.
  14. My singer is from Norfolk (we're UK wide) and he's always late to everything. The standard joke is he's stuck behind a tractor!
  15. I 100% agree with the majority of posts that say, be polite as you never know what the future holds. Especially if you are from a small scene / area. I'd be secretly a little aggrieved but it could be the drummer picks you up for his next band or some gigs come your way. That won't happen if you tell them to go stuff it... and if they do wind up being a bunch of idiots, hey, you dodged a bullet!
  16. Two many to choose from but a stand out for me is The Carrie Nations from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
  17. To be fair, he's not really improved it 😽
  18. It's going to have a cream pickup cover with either a black scratchplate or my black / cream paisley scratchplate. I've read a lot about the Player series on here... it needs a setup but I'm optimistic it'll be killer.
  19. Arrived today, a Players Series P bass that I bought to modify. I love my precision but being as it is the same colour as my Jazz, I thought a good old fashioned black & maple would be a good bet. Early indications are that it is light, well balanced & easy to play. The same can't be said of the cat!
  20. It probably changes to suit my mood but right now I like something with a bit of a punk angle. Not punk as in "can't play" but with that urgency to what is played.
  21. Thanks for all the replies. I'm leaning towards keeping my cabs in the house having read all your comments. Luckily I have a couple of step kids that I can put in the garage instead. Problem solved! 😼
  22. Orange is my main brand of choice and you usually have to dial in a bit of the gain to get any response from the volume. You should however be getting a lot of volume from it for what you are using it for.
  23. 50w solid state bass is not that loud but I have the Vox practice amp (VX50) that when cranked up, it keeps up with a drummer and a guitarist in a 3 piece rock n roll band. Are you playing alone or with musicians?
