KT Tunstall: Akai Headrush looper Got me into looping.

Ok. Swindon’s a bit too far for me.

“Where are you @bagsieblue ? Oobeedoobeedoo” And is the vendor happy to meet up near Swindon? Just in case there are folks like me on the ...M4 corridor (that rhymes too). John

Isn’t that the point of a sales ad? 🥳

Research?!? I just get in there before any other bugger does. 🥳 I can understand your frustration though

I tend to use this thread as a “heads up” to a bargain as well as a bit of fun. With Jon’s knowledge it tends to be an informative read, as well as spotting a potential “find”. Had two Maya fretless P’s both consistently good. Also there’s not much to get wrong with a fretless P. No frets to bugger up. Only 1 pup, basic controls. No edging on necks that tended to be on old MIJ jazz copies.

Sorry mate, just responding to previous post. I guess one mans jap crap is another’s diamond as @hooky_lowdown has intimated. My Maya was great build, maybe I have low expectations 😂

I stupidly sold my Maya fretless exact same as yours, last year. Here it is last summer at a festival somewhere.

I like playing guitar or bass/double bass. I love playing with other musicians. I’m fortunate enough to play with some wonderful musicians. I’m fortunate enough to be asked to record with some wonderful artists. Most of the gigs I’m asked to do aren’t grotty pubs. Most of the gigs I play I’m driven to. I just don’t enjoy gigging. Playing in front of people, performing, never have done. I don’t think I’m less of a musician, or should have swapped guitar for golf clubs. The reason I started playing was because of the albums I listened to, not the bands I saw. I rarely went to gigs, still don’t. Some people just don’t enjoy gigging. It’s not a disease. 🙄🤪

No you’re not the only one. I did it for a living and hated it. Great bands, lovely people, but I have no interest in “performing”. I love playing, in particular with other musicians, but find gigging in the uk a major pita. Found my happy place now recording and writing with a variety of artists, often remotely. No more travelling, hanging around, getting on stage at silly o’clock, dressing up, getting home at ridiculous o’clock, being knackered the next day. Having said all this, gigging in Europe is a very different experience for some reason. But then again you get well looked after, hotel near to venue, no driving, catching up on sleep in the bus and money is better. Still have to “perform” and dress up, and it’s only a couple of small tours a year. So bearable.

Blimey we’re dripping over ourselves! .... Its lard not to.

Guys ...dair-y say.. I think we’re milking this.

Don't know, not herd it......🤪

Possible Investment opportunity? Rarity value.

Place bid or make an offer? Maybe someone could offer to finish building the bass? 🤪 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course. 😊
