    Fabulous basses these early Blades. They go "under the radar", and IMHO match your "named" super jazzes in all areas.

    "..MODS DELETED" declares double bass playing mobster.
  3. oldslapper
    Well done..... Although that's another one that's deserted the musical fraud club, not many of us left...

    Sorry mike!

    No longer available. Managed to fund vets bill another way. Thanks for all the trade/cash PM's, sorry to disappoint. Might have been tempted by a USA P however.

    Please delete mods??? I'll do me best Clarky but they're hard to hit on a moving lambretta. :-)

    Sorry for early bump, but price reduced as vets bill needs paying.

    So, due to me wanting OHM's USA jazz bass this is back up for sale until his jazz is sold. £550 posted, firm. This is a Lakland skyline Duck Dunn model, with a Lindy Fralin jazz pup fitted by the gallery, along with a battery box at the rear if an active system was installed in the future and side mounted jack socket. Very clean guitar, with the perfect combination of P body, Jazz neck, and P/J pup combination. Matched pair of split coil Lindy Fralin pickups CTS 250K pots (V,V,T). I will post in generic gig bag and very well packaged. £550 Pictures:- [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0419.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0420.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0423.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0426.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0428.jpg[/IMG] Thanks for looking, John

    Really didn't mean to cause offence. Just trying to be honest based on my own experiences. I don't think I ever heard anyone actually challenge another musician about practicing their instrument, or studying songwriting craft. Just smiling sweetly and saying nothing whilst their fellow musicians don't develop. Ive toured and recorded with some wonderful players within the UK church scene, and most of them play outside of that scene professionally. I just feel that theirs an imaginary glass ceiling that needs to be shattered through being honest, and helping one another provide a wider and fuller "pallette", if that makes sense.? Probably doesn't....I need coffee.

    Laziness, plain and simple, accepting whatever's offered. Very frustrating. When writers like Shearing, Porter, etc can write singable, memorable melodies with interesting chord changes and well thought out lyrics, but the church settles for cliche. I stopped playing in church a while ago as I got frustrated with predictable chord changes and unimaginative lyrics. Also for decades the UK church has invested in all sorts of campaigns and initiatives, but very little in training it's musicians. Music is a high priority within services, but musicianship isn't. Sorry to moan, but the church should be nurturing the most creative of environments.

    Slightly amended.......... [quote name='cytania' timestamp='1318659525' post='1404844']Raise your hand and repeat after me. 'This is my bass (THIS WEEK) There are many like it but this one is mine (UNTIL I TRADE IT) I picked it out of the many and I like the way it sounds (AT THE MOMENT) Others (OTHER HALVES) may not understand it, but (I WILL QUICKLY) not like the way it looks, not like it's action or it's neck or it's tuners or it's pickups... but this is (THIS WEEKS') bass and I will (NOT) practice (BUT WILL) gig with it and sweat with it until I (SELL IT) This I swear.' Thank you, now call me Leonard Pyle![/quote]

    Sounds great, but sadly I have only an Epifani 2x12 to offer in p/ex and that is definitely not neo.... Best wishes with the sale, wish I had £770 to spend. Cheers, John

    Can courier now, £315 posted.

    Just done bit of googling, it's a standard USA P neck.
  16. oldslapper
    Is it a P width/profile neck, or more J? Are there any other trades you be willing to consider? Thanks, John
  17. oldslapper
    Certainly is Skez. John

    [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1318411803' post='1401677']Loving the Whale's old P-bass, strangely when Ghostpoets were playing I thought 'they could do with a bass player!' PS: I didn't realise Noah & The Whale had Phil Lynott on drums & Jarvis Cocker on guitar [/quote] I love their drummer. If I was a drum teacher, I'd put a video of him playing and say " that's how to play and when to hit the snare..on the 2 & 4, and make it sound like a shot gun crack...forget yer tarty flim/flam, girly, salad tossing, just hit the @%#*+% thing. I really enjoyed Jools last night, even the "ramones-a-like" band, can't remember their name, sorry.

    Route 66?
  23. oldslapper
    Thanks Andy. 4 PAGES! Aaaagh this has to stop.
  24. oldslapper

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1317886847' post='1395700']Not sure anyone is upset/toys out of the pram.... we are just piling into a thread to make the place look active. If we don't have activity and opinions..the place will get pretty boring and deserted soon.[/quote] It's ok, I've had coffee now. Although I'm very upset that no ones upset, it's very upsetting.
