That’s a beauty. I live in Brighton and had my eye on this one, though very much window shopping. Have fun!

The Holy Bible is a great album and nothing like their other stuff. If you like raw, angry with great riffs, you might enjoy.

That faux folk sound around the time Lumineers were ho-heying and stomping their feet. Home by Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeroes, anything Mumfordy. I’ve built up tolerance for adjacent stuff over the years but I still can’t handle that stuff.

God forbid...it's a question about guitar chords....
HMX replied to TheGreek's topic in General Discussion
I’m currently learning to play too - and enjoying it for the most part! Got most of the basic open chords down but it takes me about a minute to switch between them 😅 It is nice to try barring in lots of positions and finding magical 7 chords. I’m a big fan of arpeggios with the 9th added. The Police guitarist uses this quite a bit, and it doesn’t feel like much of a finger stretch when coming from playing bass for years. Good luck with your journey! -
I take them all off before restringing so I can give the fretboard a good clean.

Peavey T40 - I’ve heard they’re heavy basses? I’m not a big enough guy to be encumbered with that weight on my shoulder. Gibson Grabber - prohibitively expensive and they look like solid chonks too. But they just have that allure. They look great.

Another ‘unfortunately’… had a rough night with our sick baby and I’ve woken up feeling awful today. So I think I better keep away from the kind basschat folk. Gutted to miss this! Have a great day, all

Is anyone selling anything on the day, or will it be a fun surprise to see ‘for sale’ stickers slapped on headstocks? I’m having a think myself…

Your favourite 4 string fretted jazz bass player.

Hmm... John Paul Jones. -
I’d definitely try and sell your fretless bass. There aren’t many fretless ‘Rays out there so I think there would be some interest! I’m even considering getting my Ray 34 de-fretted.

Alright, well pencil me in for coming down with my Fender P bass and Ray 34!
-
I didn’t know Guy was in Brighton. I’d be happy to supply the lift providing a bass arsenal could fit in my Fiesta!
-
Probably worth buying a used Ray 34 and a Darkglass pedal instead.

I’ve never been to a bass bash but would love to attend, if I can. We’ve got a handful of a lovely 10 month old so I wouldn’t be there for the whole day. Do other folk stick around for just a couple of hours? If I came I’d be bringing my rather unexotic duo of MIM P bass and Silverburst Sterling Ray 34. I don’t have an amp, only a Nux preamp.

I don’t post much on here but I’m in!

Great lookin' '98/99 lined fretless MIM jazz bass for sale! Plays really well, feels great, I just don't have the time to sink into it these days with a three-month old baby boy around. Bass weighs around 9lbs. Very good condition for its age – beautiful neck grain and rosewood fretboard (looks a little darker in person). Just has a few scratches on the body, as shown below. It's wearing (oldish) roundwounds but still sings when you slide or dig in! I don't have a spare bag or case for this so you'll need to bring your own (but if meeting up, it will be transported in a hard case!) Collection from Brighton or delivery/meetup within 10 miles. Any questions, hit me up! See my seller feedback below (though ignore the last post – it's not for me!) Small scratch on the left of the bridge

Really enjoyed the Kendrick, Mitski and Turnstile sets. Hadn't heard Mitski before but it was a great performance with some catchy tunes.
-
Got mine today. Thanks!

Still just the one Fender MIM P bass. Can't complain. I like the colour combo more everyday and I might grab some Model P pickups before our first post-covid band practice. I was close to buying a natural MIJ Jazz bass on bass direct this morning though... It was gone when I checked a few hours ago! Who bought it eh?
