    Cheap pups, and parts to sell on. Might be a good buy if you're local to it and prepared/able to do the work. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-RBX-460-Fully-Working-Seymour-Duncan-Lightnin-Rods-Active-Pickups-AJB-2-/152124937408?hash=item236b5a54c0:g:pA8AAOSwnFZXXA-X

    Sorry, I'm frightened about next Thursday... a lot of my employer's sales go to the EU.

    Occasionally I used to leave a bass, in a black hard case, after dark, across the back seats of my car (which are black), in a supermarket car park. After practice, never after a gig. Still a risk, but quite small. The problem with leaving anything evidently nickable in your car is that even if you're not out any cash, you still have to get the car repaired. And I wouldn't want to explain why it was broken into to the insurance company.

    [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1465918093' post='3072093'] I had to google it, but sure enough it's an actual saying. My shame is eggscruciating. [/quote] Eggsistential angst?

    If it helps, it does look very much like a paulownia body I had. Mine was very light, and decently made. GLWTS

    Many people put their pics up on Photobucket and link to them.

    I have a Sinsonido. Sounds good, looks radical, weighs so little I occasionally have difficulty remembering it's there. Second hard, under £200.

    Please tell me that's a 42mm nut. Or bigger...

    Hm. Does that pickup arrangement mean you could run the P pup on its own if the battery was flat? I guess it must.

    I quite like the octopus-thing it's got going. But it might well give people nightmares.

    Too fiddly and too American for my taste. I can't really see the point of these most of the time - who'd be able to see the carving on stage?

    Given that the stones are embedded in concrete, I'm guessing not very far at all.

    I'd love to do this, but I'm sorry to say I can't get there (and I doubt I have the chops anyway). Good luck!

    [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1465296980' post='3066837'] It looks like a guitar built for Prince by the telly-tubbies, but in the right context (something psychedelic) could be quite cool. [/quote] That's a fine description

    Daft, but curiously attractive... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Guitar-Not-A-Gibson/162094365038?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D36498%26meid%3D30b6c378849141f5b0a4b710bfcbe131%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D172231464622 It reminds me of some of the stranger Italian designs of the 1960s. The somewhat curious strap button positions suggest it might have been played upright at some stage.

    [quote name='HarryPotter' timestamp='1465194669' post='3065904'] The strings are regular electrics, as to scale length - I'll measure it tonight (I'm at work at the moment), and I'd rather not guess - you know, men and overcompensating [/quote] Thanks for this. I'm struggling against the demands of my overdraft... I've been wanting something like this for a while.

    So they ought to be cheap when they do come up...

    Nothing to offer except commiserations and best wishes. Good luck!
