    Thursday night went OK. Our usual ocasional gig, not many people but they seemed to enjoy it and we got a few suggestions. I've played worse, and better. The real test will be in a couple of weeks where we are going out as a two-piece (not a three, the better guitar is on holiday) to an unfamiliar audience...

    [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1454747639' post='2972527'] Not me - I've been Peaveyless for some months now. Maybe whoever bought it from me (I forget who that was now) [/quote] I had the Fury and the Fury II, if I remember rightly

    Sale of the neck agreed. I will relist separately.

    When she's good, she's superb.

    I was the 4th owner. This is a lovely bass, and I'd still have it if Sean hadn't offered me a trade I couldn't refuse. I can't imagine any buyer regretting owning it.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1454660408' post='2971693'] Sad but true. Peavey make some fantastic basses. But I think the T20s and T40s would be just a bit too heavy for me. Ideally I like sub-9lb basses. [/quote] I reckon you could take the hardware and strings off my T-40 and it would still be 9lb... No wonder I don't play the thing. I should flog it.

    Peavey Foundation. About £150. Storming bass - though you may find it too aggressive with rounds.

    I love this to bits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmQMNEsKdTU

    Usually it takes till the day after we gig it...

    I might split this, if asked.

    I bought Phil's Yamaha BEX 4 (which he restrung for me ). We had a nice chat, he made me a fine cup of tea, and the Yam is lovely I'd be pleased to deal with him again and I hope to stay in touch. Thank you Phil, it's found a good home.

    Speaking of which... I think this is rather badly overpriced, but it does look nice http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-USA-made-Peavey-Fury-Blackline-P-style-bass-guitar-/121885189052?hash=item1c60ec63bc:g:3a0AAOSwX~dWs16G I suspect its neck would be too skinny for [u]discreet[/u], even though it's white.

    I tend to agree, from my limitied knowledge. There's a sort of stripped-back look to them which I like.

    Too fiddly for my taste. It does remind me of one of waynepunkdude's refins - he did a Rising Sun one which worked well, but that had the advantage of being simple.

    They've been trying to get rid of that for a couple of years at least...

    I am still on the One In, Five Out plan... ... and missing my targets

    Youi don't see many of these this side of the Atlantic. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Patriot-Bass-Guitar-1987-USA-super-ferrite-pickup-Rare-/262274184080?hash=item3d10c27390:g:W0MAAOSwL7VWsgNZ

    It does look interesting. I bet it's hard to play though.

    Poole, but my sister is in Bristol and I owe her a visit

    SELLER LIKES TO POST IN ALL CAPS which is generally a bad sign IMO. But for what it's worth: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HAYMAN-4040-VINTAGE-BASS-GUITAR-SHERGOLD-BURNS-/111892931763?hash=item1a0d56a4b3:g:fW0AAOSwzhVWr7xO

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1454367863' post='2969145'] I've got almost 1000 pictures on mine... Do you have any videos stored on there? A few very large files might account for the lack of space and the fact that deleting the more normal sized images makes little difference. [/quote] Nope, no videos. Just JPEGs, almost all of basses. I was wondering if there was a manual switch or similar. IIRC Microsoft Access has a similar thing where you can't free up database space except by using a VB command.

    I made a crate to ship a bass to Greece once. It cost more, sure. But it would have taken malice to damage the bass.

    [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1454358275' post='2968980'] Not sure about the washers...but I love the beer. Delicious! [/quote] If I liked the beer, I'd use the washers more often... Too much sugar in it. (Not that I'm famous, of course.)

    A P-bass project with a nice colour match and a pretty top. I bought this from eBay a couple of years ago because it looked pretty and I thought I'd have time to do something with it. But I need the space, and I haven't the time. To be filed under Experience, I guess. £50 plus carriage. Pics: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/P-bass%20project%20with%20pretty%20top?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu...p?sort=3&page=1[/url] What it has: - Partly-shaped but unfinished P-style body with a nicely figured top. It's routed P-style. I don't know what the woods are. - P-type neck marked DR PARTS. The truss rod turns easily. - Tuners, copper-coloured to pick up the colour of the top. - Tort P-type pickguard. This has some scratches, hard to photograph. - Charvel P-type pickup, with the names rather worn. - Gold-coloured bridge, heavy-Fender style. It is not fitted exactly squarely. What it needs: - The body needs finishing. - A new pickguard. The routing for the controls is not covered by the existing PG, so something a little larger will be needed - more like the Hohner-style PG, rather than the existing pointed plate. The pups will have to be mounted to the new PG. - Strings. - Strap pegs. (The holes are drilled already.) - The black tape on the back of the body covered a drill hole, which looks as if it's come through from the front. It looks to be 4mm or so. I've shown this in one of the pics. - Pickguard screws. - Pup screws. - Tuner screws. - Neck plate. - The bridge is a five-screw mounting which is missing the centre screw.

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1454356758' post='2968964'] How many photos have you go up there? I thought I had a lot yet my free account is only 1% full... Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in after deleting some to see if that makes a difference. [/quote] Thanks for the advice. I've got about 350 pics, apparently. The account is 81% full. Removing a picture makes almost no difference. Logging out and in again has no effect that I can see.
