Hello basists!
Not really into this interweb thingy so where do I start? Have been playing since the 1980s stuck in a 50/60s timewarp.
Still struggle with the basics but I do admit I have punched above my weight on a few occaisions!
I mainly play double bass althrough my last few gigs have been on this new fangled "electric" bass.

Gear;
double bass dated 23/8/38
62 reissue jazz bass
hofner violin bass
"jack casady" bass

Trace Elliot amps

I know this seems mercenary but its time to sell my trace elliot v8 amp
Any Idea what these sell for as they do not seem ot come up very often?

I am located in deepest buckinghamshire

Welcome to basschat,

After a quick check those amps are rare, found an old list with one going for just under £3000!! Another had one for 1250euros so feck knows now.
A more detailed google might give you a better idea, but as some basschaters always say it's just worth what someone Is willing to pay for It.
Clear as mud.

Cheers Leen.

Hi,
Steve bbb has set me thinking- As far as I am aware the word "funk" started out as slang for the odour of the "lady area" and ends up as a genre of music!
Then again rock n roll started out as slang for having sex, and ended up as a genre of music...........................................
More in common then you thing?

Good points. I wonder if that's how 'country' got its name?
