I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I simply haven't had the time.

I have a bunch of stuff that I just cannot throw out because there's nothing wrong with it. BUT I also have absolutely no need for it. I can't sell this stuff, so I'd like to give it to any Lowdowners who need it. All I ask is that you mail me 3 bucks to cover shipping. It obviously will not cover shipping on most of these items, but it would mean a minimal commitment before saying "I'll take that off your hands". I won't even wait for the 3 bucks before I send out the items...I trust ya!

Anyone else who wants to join in this thread and give stuff away, feel free.

1) 1 gigbag down, two to go. I have 32 Washburn gigbags. They will fit a Jazz or Precision, but they have absolutely NO padding to them whatsoever. The only purpose they would serve would be as anti-dust and anti-scratch devices. It's a half step up from just chucking the bass into your car. But they ARE new.

2) Tuner goes to Rocky. I have a Korg GA-30 guitar and bass tuner. Perfect condition. Google for details. I am in tuner overkill and it's like having too many clock in one room. Please help me by getting this out of my sight.

3) One pile gone. I have about 40 or 50 odd bass strings, all new. I sold off the ones that would make logical sets, so these are one offs in odd gauges and textures (for example, 3 of the 4 tapewound Fenders to make a set) I've grouped them into two piles by major brand.

4)Gone. I have a 1 in/1 out USB MIDI interface made by M-Audio called the Uno. This is actually worth some money, so PLEASE only request this if you really need it.

There's more, but it's 3:30am...

Great idea, 09! Thanks for the offer. Nothing I need right now.

I would like to have the tuner. PM me for details.
Thanks Rocky

Nine, wattup with the Amy Winehouse sig? No link. Exactly how does one end up with 50 odd bass strings?

OK Tuner goes to Rocky.

Amy Winehouse's hit.

I started with 300+ strings. I bought one of those Dean Markley wooden boxes that all music stores have with a bunch of single bass and guitar strings in them from a store going out of business.

How did you strike out text on my monitor? I have a hard time reading as it is with all that d*** white-out!

I'll take the strings, and thanks. Who knows, might work for me. let me know where to send the $3, or I can PayPal it to you.

PM'ed you Picker.

You have a valid point.

I picked up Back to Black last week. This kid is really something.

Kind of Shirley Bassey meets Patti Smith.

She's a ticking timebomb full of Everclear. I'm just enjoying the ride while it lasts.

I "discovered" her when I saw a clip of her making an absolute fool out of herself singing "Beat It" on the Charlotte Church show. I'm glad I didn't just click away.

Her vocal delivery is spine tingling, she's so far behind the beat that I dig my nails into my palms.

I watched her on a special on the BBC the other night.

She's terrific, but is a little 'unpredictable'.

She hurried the last notes on a few songs - it was noticable.

At the end, she didn't have the grace to accept the plaudits of the audience - she walked straight off the stage. I believe she has personal 'issues'.

Having said that, don't think that I'm putting her down - I think she's a tremendous talent that needs proper mentoring, then she'll be truly great. I hope she gets it.

It is just waiting to happen, ain't it.

Oh, that's how the drummer smiley works. Clever.

I'll take the all-black Nordstrand, please.

Thanks.

Peace.

I might be interested in one of the gigbags, if there are any left.
My Jazz bass needs a lighter get-around-town outfit.

Peace,

'tis yours! PM me your address...but I'm warning you, it's a step above a Macy's shopping bag.

Very nice of you.

I took a fast look at Amy W. Sadly, I've been going backwards rather than forwards in my music lately (just bought Bloodrock 2 and The Chambers Brothers "Time Has Come Today" - more in a future post). I will investigate further.

I probably wouldn't take that evil bass - it belongs with someone who would appreciate it. The thought of it makes me want to order my own Nord-fish.

Zeronyne and I have agreed, if anyone wants the bags, step up, they are still available.

I got turned on to Amy Winehouse as a result of 09's sig. She is making some of the most original music, in a retro sorta way. And that Charlotte Church duet is hilarious. Charlotte's sly reactions are the best.
