  1. My first gig was Kiss at Hammersmith Odeon 1976, great show. Simmons was particularly good at being centre of attention. I remember thinking throughout the show "how can he move in those boots?" & "those shoulder pads look very uncomfortable" I know.......all the important stuff.
  2. Blimey! There's quite a bit of "ambitious" pricing going on there.
  3. You do put a nice bass together.
  4. Thanks Michael, I'll be down in Shaftesbury in next couple of weeks....wink wink...nudge nudge..😉
  5. SOLD Nice inexpensive double bass, laminate construction, ebony board I believe. Has a few scratches, but structurally sound. Comes with cover & single paddle pickup. I was going to get the bridge lowered a bit, but never bothered in the end. I'm in Bath, but am happy to meet up around the general Bath/Bristol areas.
  6. Oh dear. Rest of the bass looks tidy enough, but why would you do that.
  7. Sold AEX 500 hybrid. Piezo & mini humbucker, blend control & 3 band eq. Versatile guitar, with a stunning neck. Recently set up with 11's. There is one deep sctatch on the front of the body, which I will photograph later in better light and a small mark on the back. Obviously structure, sound, playability unaffected. It's never bothered me, but in the interest of disclosure, etc. I have now got a Guild which has a wider nut so is more suited to the fingerstyle I have developed. Nut 43mm https://photos.app.goo.gl/MpKY0metIVWxbH4F3 Production of the Yamaha AEX 500 began in 1998 and ended in 2000. The Yamaha AEX500 was a hybrid acoustic/jazz guitar that could deliver both acoustic and electric tones via a mini-humbucker/piezo-electric pickup combination. It had a flat spruce top with a fixed rosewood bridge and 2 f-holes. Will come with a gig bag & securely packed if posted. Otherwise I'm in Bath, so can meet up around the Bristol/Bath area. Lovely neck Low action Scratch More lovely neck pic At home.
  8. Hardly used I don't have the packing, but will be packaged well for posting. SOLD
  9. SOLD Nice Myers mic & pre. Easy fit & sounds great & in great nick. Excess to my needs, so it's got to go. Info here: https://www.myerspickups.com/pickups/the-grip-series
  10. Geoff sold me an amp & dispatched the day I paid, arrived next day. Great comms. Thanks Geoff.
  11. Shame. A pot, set up & new strings would make it very good VFM.
  12. Not seen one in white before. GVFM.
  13. I'm dairy intolerant, so I'll pass wind. I like it though.
  14. I'm often referred to as "that anchor", so might suit. Pardon?
  15. Yes, but that would mean becoming a keyboard player. .... ...No, can't think of a witty insult ref keyboardists..darn
  16. I read the OP as a humerous comment on the width of the instruments neck, not as a personal attack on the person playing it. The gentleman himself wasn't mentioned. But I guess we can see what we want in any given situation. Personally I'd prefer a Chapman Stick for ERB but each to his own.
  17. I have a Maya unlined fretless P. It's my only bass. I think they're lovely basses. Better quality than a lot of japcrap from the same era. Also, if you forget what sort of instrument you're playing, you only have to glance at the headstock.
