  1. Didn’t know they were involved with Aria back in the day. Looks a nice bass.
  2. I’ve got an eye on the Modulator, but not sure what they’re worth?
  3. It’s very near me if anyone needs it picking up. I’m in Bath so can pass it on in a relay?
  4. If all the delay pedals in the world stopped working one day, CCM would implode. 😂
  5. I hear what your saying Mr Smalls, musos can be gear/technique bores. But in my (limited) experience of meeting and watching interviews of “famous band” bassists, they tend to be oblivious to the finer details of equipment and theory. It’s often a case of “I just plug this into that and play, my roadie sorts it all out”. So I think you’ll be safe having a night out with your fav players, they’ll more likely be interested in where the bar is than where the bar begins. 😊
  6. Dee Murray (RIP) and Pierre Brock either side of me, watching Kenny Passarelli supporting Esperanza Spalding.
  7. No worries. Sadly we’re back home from our holiday near you.
  8. Start with front and back doors, then the shed. After that you’re on your own. (sorry)🤡
  9. I’ve got a couple of acres, I think my trousers are too tight.
  10. It wasn’t edifying was it. From memory, the action at the end of the “restoration “ was awful, you would need to take a bus from the string to the fingerboard.
  11. Never weighed it Dave, just from memory. Tended to use it for certain songs on a few gigs, never all way through.
  12. One of my favourite basses to record with. Too heavy to gig with these days.
  13. We’ve had Overrated, underrated & (recently) properly-rated how about Reinstated? I’ll start (and probably end) Derek Forbes. Sacked 1985, Reinstated 1996/7
  14. Most regret parting with the fretless P in the mid 80’s to pay rent deposit. One of the first early 70’s run. Played and sounded fat. I wish I hadn’t parted with the red trim 4x8 and 1x15 mini cabs that were “not Ashdown”. Portable, sounded great and looked good. Sold to fund something trendy on here which didn’t stay long. Would buy back in a heart beat. The high speed revolving door of “Hotel GAS” is difficult to extract oneself from I find. Having said that, current fretless P has been in my possession for over 18 months and is used daily, and Ampeg rig is 9 months old, so perhaps I’m doing better these days?
  15. I remember the Woolies audition bass amp I borrowed off a mate for my first gig. I think it was a stack rather than a combo.
  16. Notacaster?
  17. My favourite Strat model.
  18. Shame, I was hoping to combine postage on the tractor, the Martin 00 and mobile catering van.
  19. Not a prog fan myself, but I thought Genesis version of “Can’t hurry love” was very good.
  20. Looking at his other items for sale, he’s got an incredibly diverse range of items at no reserve. Hacked account is likely.
  21. Has this gone @Zummerbass ?
  22. I really don’t NEED this. Who am I kidding?! But I’m happy to pick this up, take it to Bath and store it, if that would help anyone get it nearer home (a la BC relay). Passing through Wellington Friday 9th.
  23. I’m passing by Wellington Friday week (9th). If it isn’t snapped up by then, I’ll be happy to take this. But anyone who can get there first, I’ll understand. Cheers. John
