[quote name='baldwinbass' timestamp='1453655012' post='2961452'] Maybe showing my age, but I'm listening more & more to Radio 3 Late Junction - weird and wonderful stuff [/quote] Me too. Plus Radio 6. This is after a long time with almost no music radio. I hate Radio 1, and a lot of the ex-Radio 1 people on Radio 2. Steve Wright is one of the reasons I quit R1 in the first place.

It seems pointless to me.

Pretty basses

Cirrus are good

https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/bass-guitar-awesomely-good-value-cool-guitar-/1151358014 I don't know much about Vesters except that they had a decent reputation and were removed from the marketplace by Fender somehow - or at least Fender got the blame...

Thanks for this, but the page is gone so I can't tell who the seller is. Would you mind naming him/her please?

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1453197568' post='2957220'] Get out there and have some auditions, building confidence won' t happen in the house. [/quote] This. Good luck

I think I'd be surprised if that was around for long

I bought strings from Martin, after he kindly contacted me. No issues, quick to send, all well. Happy to do business again. Thanks Martin

Cool?

It looks more like "SuperFon" or "SupreFon" to me. Neither of those gives me anything useful on a web search though.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1452801790' post='2953693'] Looks like a Duke to me, with modified pickups/circuitry. [/quote] I think so. My Duke has a single humbucker, but I don't know for sure whether there were other configs. That double-switch arrangement does look like a mod though.

I got a nice message back from the seller saying thanks and they'd pulled the ad because they couldn't be sure of what it was. It appears they have pulled the ad; however, there is also this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Used-Steinberger-Style-Headless-Electric-Bass-Guitar-in-Black/291660128301?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3De1eb6f4668254b39b321d519ec36c571%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D291658752330

I've messaged the seller; I'll be interested to see what they say. (Obviously this is the point when someone tells me I'm wrong )

To the best of my knowledge, this body shape belongs either to a Kramer the Duke, or to a Hondo Alien (I have one of each, as it happens). The sharp corners on the neck end plate make me think it's a Duke; IIRC the Aliens had rounded corners (just as well, the thing is lethal). Also the Alien was labelled on the front. I don't think it has anything to do with Steinberger. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Used-Steinberger-Style-Headless-Electric-Bass-Guitar-in-Black-/291658752330?hash=item43e837614a:g:8sgAAOSwHaBWlZDQ

Welcome aboard!

Welcome

it looks nice, especially given the source of the wood Just wondering if the brass electrics plate would do "as is", i.e. without plating? Too much chance of corrosion, perhaps?

Tim bought some strings off me. A nice clean deal, very quick and with good comms throughout. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Cheers!

I never learnt to play the one I bought. My ex-guitarist has got it, I should get it back off him.
