    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1320224579' post='1423853']Thats a serious bargain at £600 for one of the nicest Jazz basses I have ever played[/quote] I know! "dear Clarky, I invite you to journey to the far recesses of your memory, where you have stored that dream of owning a Lakland Duck Dunn, with mods that include a J pickup by the bridge. The bass has a beautiful darkish red finish with black pick guard, a neck to die for and strung with some gert lush flats. Remember that dream? Well, it could come true, as I happen to have that very same bass for sale right here right now, so realise your dream sir, buy my bass...then I can buy this jazz". :-) John

    R. What's the impedance for the cab and the power handling? Having just bought an Omni 10.5 and pleasantly surprised at its clarity, I bet this baby is immense. John

    [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1319745956' post='1418195']It's certainly far more enjoyable than watching some boring c*** standing in the background playing root notes on a precision - IMO of course.....[/quote] Well if people will insist on buying U2 records, this is what will come of it..

    [quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1319741818' post='1418095'] Have you seen Billy Sheehan soloing?[/quote] If people insist on buying Emmet Chapman records, this is what'll come of it.

    [quote name='hairyhaw' timestamp='1319722942' post='1417734'] Really? I buy L42 records, and the music I'm do sounds nothing like it. .[/quote] Some good has come out of it then. Well done.

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1319714608' post='1417560']I'm going to stick my head above the parapet here and wait to get it shot down.. should I duck??[/quote] No M you can't! How can I get a good shot if you duck? ;-)

    If people insist on buying level 42 records, this is what will come of it.
  15. oldslapper
    SOLD!

    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.
  18. oldslapper
    Well done..... Although that's another one that's deserted the musical fraud club, not many of us left...
  19. oldslapper
    Sorry mike!
  20. oldslapper
    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.
  21. oldslapper
    Please delete mods??? I'll do me best Clarky but they're hard to hit on a moving lambretta. :-)
  22. oldslapper
    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.
