    love that - always tentatively “watch” them when they come up on eBay/reverb - never see the sunburst though…nice

    We’ve done 7 or 8 this year - well, since June; our drummer quit in May…so that’s not bad. What’s frustrated me is that 6 of those were back to back Friday and Saturday shows - which, if you’re a covers band is great news… As a relatively new Originals band…not so much. But, we’ve played to 8/9 people at one and 200 the next night so god knows…

    Bump. Time for this to go - committed to other gear so need to clear the decks

    Bought on a whim, always liked them - plays great, sounded lovely…then when I’d cleaned it and restrung it (Ernie ball hyper slinkies) no signal. So I cleaned all the pots - nothing. desoldered all the joints - nothing. there is signal from the pickups - I think the tone pot was dead… so an entire brand new wiring loom will be fitted before I sell. Other than that - it’s bloody lovely. And initially had a very 70’s jazz type sound. i have now got embroiled in another bass which I’d sort of agreed to last month and forgotten about. can ship in UK for £15. Collection is free, obviously. EDIT - Now sorted, new loom fitted

    Bought as part of a package with another instrument I wanted - thought my daughter would prefer the nylon strings but she’s too used to steel strings to get on with it - I’m a bass player and while it’s lovely (was genuinely surprised by the sound it produces) it’s only going to gather dust now. The original machineheads were non functional so I’ve put some new ones on which seem really solid, as well as a new set of d’addario strings. Had a clean up, fret polish etc so it’s good to go. No case - will Chuck in a clip on tuner as I seem to have amassed a few of these (may need a battery). Marlin, 1980’s - £50 Got embroiled in another bass deal…so this has to go. Can ship in uk for £15 ish - would be at risk of buyer.

    When I was a 14 year old, gathering the proceeds of Car washing, paper round and the sale of a PlayStation… I went to sound control and bought an American Jazz Bass - the other choice was a purple precision with a maple board just like this… Unfortunately, my current car wash, PlayStation and Paper round fund sits at £0 as I have my own teenagers who won’t wash cars or get paper rounds 🤬

    No. I think cheap bass trying to look expensive. not horrific. possible own brand, like Carlos robelli type stuff in US?
  8. AndyTravis
    Aww balls. Sold a very similar one a while back and then regretted doing so. My bank says “no” so I’m now going to be annoyed for a bit.

    This is the bass I worked on…

    Not last night - Saturday weird one - but got to see @Dankology and his ace band Dead Tenant We had a mix of our punters and some of the regulars of the venue… We got paid, played well…bit of a weirdness with the venue owner (put it this way, we got a 3 text apology) but not bad.

    I use 2 of these cabs with an old Hartke 5500, honestly a flawless rig (well, the head is a bit tatty like…) Cannot fault the cabs at all.
  12. AndyTravis
    It looks really bloody cool. But the price is stoooopid.
  13. AndyTravis
    Oh god. This means I have to buy an acoustic bass again…
  14. AndyTravis
    Im In after missing last month. And…I’ve embedded it…so NER Epi Jack Casady and othe Yamaha guitars.
  15. AndyTravis
    I’ll happily fund that change by buying your white one 😬
  16. AndyTravis
    I can live with that. says 14/10/24 on eBay
  17. AndyTravis
    It had 3 “drinks” looks ace now
  18. AndyTravis
    Need Earlpilanz to come back on eBay. Nowhere does the Masonite pickguards…so I’m going to go single ply Matte white.
  19. AndyTravis
    Loved these - they were a bit out of my price range in the late 90’s…a Washburn XB100 was my “posh bass” (how little I knew). Anyhow. 10 years ago - had a black one. Sold it because it wasn’t a silver sparkly one. And after missing out on 2 over the last decade… In need of a new pickguard really…but it’s functional…for now

    Shame as well with it being an earlier do. i always struggle because I’m either gigging or one of the little Travs has a thing on; better social lives than we’ve got.

    Playing with @Dankology next Saturday. See if @ped can arrange a Basschat coach trip (bring a packed lunch) Free entry at the newly refurbished Rochdale Empire. Matinee gig. Suits me!
  22. AndyTravis
    Yeah - that was where a couple in their late 40’s sat right in front of the stage. The woman sang along to “Compromise” a song we did a music video for - I thought she was related to the singer. They listen to us daily apparently 🤯

    Last night - Depressingly empty in a massive room. Easy and stress free. just deflating. Tonight - Claustrophobically busy in a corner of a pub. A calamitous gig full of all sorts of things I could moan about. ”best band we’ve seen at Chorley Live” ”that was so much better than all this covers crap” ”we’ve been playing your EP at home and came just to see you” So… weird weekend.
  24. AndyTravis
    Gigged mine twice this weekend - doesn’t half cause a stir with other bass players. Especially in a sea of Ibanez’s and stuff.
  25. AndyTravis
    Playing 2 nights at Chorley Festival next weekend… Weekend after with a fellow basschatter. Would be great to see some BC folk at some of these
