A concert film of a 1974 Mick Ronson solo show, believed lost, but meticulously assembled and enhanced as much as possible. This just dropped, it looks like essentially the Spiders (sans Bowie, of course, he had kicked them all to the curb), and Trevor is way up in the mix.
Poor Mick, he had...
Seriously, what the hell is this?
This Dylan cover was released as a UK single mid-summer, 1966. Jack Bruce had just moved on to the nascent Cream, previous bassist Tom McGuinness had already switched to guitar, so according to the timeline, this has to be Klaus. Plus, there’s that brief bit...
A rare Saturday night at home, so I’m watching the 1970 concert on PBS. I’d seen a bootleg copy on DVD years ago, but this time I’m paying closer attention, as I’m more interested now in how the gear was set up in the transitional days towards the big PA era.
So, Stu Cook has a pile of three...
It sure took a while to get it from Germany (issues were here in the US)... but it arrived today: a vintage 1960s Hoyer bass, the model 43 or "London" bass! It's a variation of the Hofner "Beatle bass" as the name suggests. Short scale (30").
I think after looking and looking, I have found the...
Cross-pond low-enders,
I'll be out on a work trip, staying out by Bedfont Lakes, Sept 23-27. I won't have much time to myself but I think I could get out on a night or two. I love to drop by local jams when I travel and meet some fellow players. Is there anything like that happening that...
My wife and I will have a vacation late in October: 4 nights in London, 3 nights in Paris, and 3 nights in Venice.
Could I please have some recommendations of bass shops? My wife isn’t into music. I’ll be lucky if I’m able to see just one per city, I really have to make my choice(s) count.

Hi Guys, first post here, just after some info - I've got an old Dan Armstrong London bass which never gets used, anybody know if it's worth anything? The finish has seen better days but it's working fine. Cheers!
My wife and I will be in London mid-April, and we’d love to see a local shows or experience some of the local scenes.
We’re staying near King’s Cross for the first 4 days, in Haslemere for 2 days, then by Victoria Station until we depart,
If anyone’s playing in the area during this time, please...
I live in the US suburbs. The keyboard player has some space and I just drive over there to rehearse. When we have a gig we hook up the trailer and drive it to the gig. Easy.
This can't work very well where space is expensive and cars are a problem. For instance, I've been to Singapore a...
My wife and I are suddenly going to be in London. Don't know the exact dates yet, other than Thursday, Sep 14th.
I read this thread and got some ideas: Going to London, Amsterdam and Berlin next week (want suggestions)
EDIT: To be 100% clear, I am only going to London. I am not going to...

Hello everyone,
Recently I bought a Darkglass Microtubes 900 at the London Bass Expo. I Absolutely LOVE it! Its basically if Apple did bass amps, although I'm hoping it doesn't have the planned obsolescence that iPhones seem to have....
Anyway, I'm looking for a cab to go with it. Preferably a...

Hi all,
We're looking for a new bassist for our fun but ambitious post-rock band based in London. We are all competent musicians, and play with energy, heart and passion.
To us this project is extremely musically fulfilling - this is a passion project for the group; we're looking to have fun...
Looking to sell one of my three (yes I know....) upright/double bass preamps. The fdeck does what I need so there's little point accumulating these. So for sale is a teensy tiny Headway EDM-1 in very good condition. Cheapest new price on the web is £145 (on Amazon). I will sell for £90...

A friend just moved there and brought his bass in a big, heavy, old-fashioned, trapezoidal trunk, which is probably 40 years old, but in very good condition and pretty much bomb-proof. He has no place to put it, so will sell it cheap. PM me for contact info.
I posted this in miscellaneous and someone kindly pointed out that I'd reach a broader audience if I posted in basses or amps so I'll post in basses.

We're meeting up with my sister in London for a couple days before the group of us (7 adults and 2 toddlers :help:) head to Rome/Florence for a week. I really only have a day and a half in London, the same in Rome, and then a full week in Florence. This is my fourth time traveling to London...
Good morning
first time poster in this subforum, and already a question/request for advice.
The bass-parts-shop has a 5 string bass body made of London plane-wood (I believe you in the US call it Sycamore).
Can somebody advice which sound I can expect (ash, alder, maple, plastic,...)?
Thanks...
