Steeleye Span.

The Weavers.

Shostakovich, 5th Symphony.

Went for £225.

Pretty  

Fretted, thankfully.

Nice!  I had a BBN5 I will never forgive myself for selling. 

Also I have discovered you can force it to omit some sellers from your searches. 

Not for me, even if I was a Fender person.

You are feeling sleepyyy...

I've got one of these, was playing it last week.  It's very good for its price point; I've got cobalt flats on it, it sounds nice.  If I needed an inexpensive fretted four-string this would definitely be on my list.

I've got one of these.  Nicely built, sounds good.  Heavy!  Mine's got Fender black-nylon tapes on it. 

(It has convinced me I don't really like P-J basses, but that's not its fault )

Yeah, sorry, that was me messaging him to tell him - poor sod is only trying to sell his bass! Thought it the correct thing to tell him of his minor error. Definitely gave me a chuckle too! 

Seems fair. 

I see he's changed the title...  ah well.

I laughed.

I prefer the plain ones, TBH.

If you were going to do this to a Jack Casady then surely you'd pick the gold one?

Only if you had one.

Or maybe he's got a bee in his bonnet about his version being better than theirs?

Good point. I’ve got the worlds worst man flu at the moment and just had some terrible brain fog. I’ve updated the title, but there’s no attempt to deceive.

Not implied, I hope.  Good luck, and hope you feel better soon.

Errr, Fender?!

Interesting...  this is a four-string version of the five-string fretless Thomann were selling as a Harley Benton HBZ-6000 (I think).  And the headstock looks very Peavey.  I have the fiver, I love it to bits.

What sort of tension are they?

I bought a pickup from Alex.  Quick turnround, well packaged.  I'd be happy to deal with him again.  Thanks

Bit tinny ... but not nearly as bad as I'd expected. 

 

But £13k !!!??

 

I'll take a nice new T&G Martin thanks.  Though this one might be shower proof?

It went for £2600.

How loud is it?  Does it compete with an acoustic guitar?

I think it might be heavy...  the buyer would have to be an athlete.

Superb! I remember the early 80s through neck Satellite basses that were identical to this, stunners! 
 

Real piece of nostalgia there 🙏❤️

 

GLWTS, Andy 

I had one of those for a while.  (Not in the 80s, mind.)

It's the only music station I listen to.

(Well, apart from the Radio 2 Folk Show  Presented by... yup. Mark Radcliffe.)

I don't like Craig Charles much, TBH.  Music's fine, I just find him annoying.
