I got an ex-demo US-made Peavey Millennium for £220.

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1436636591' post='2819711'] Same as AT I see them at around £90 but there's a crazy fella in Perth asking £200 on Gumtree Every month he lists loads of basses £100 more than their worth [/quote] Does he ever sell any?

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1436626997' post='2819641'] I have one (now fitted with emgs) as a bass that 'does not matter'. Stolen or damaged it is so cheap it does not matter. Good quality assembly, slim and very playable neck. Grain shows through nicely on the red finish. Long top horn makes for good balance and it is light. At £20 is an absolute giveaway. [/quote] Indeed. They are much better than their price point might suggest, and at £35 repaired this would be a very good backup or starter. I'm not after it because I've got one already (now wearing half-rounds and tuned from Eb) and I've got too many basses.

Thanks for the writeup Nut's too wide for my liking, but everything else sounds fab. Good job Retrovibe!

hmmm. Wonder if the trussrod's working... cheap source of a nice slim neck

I'm surprised this is still here...

That's completely bonkers. I like it

Interesting six-bolt neckplate. My bitsa P-style fretless has a six-bolt plate; people seemed to think it might be a Kay, but this says maybe not. Its pup doesn't deliver anything like the output you're talking about though

Definitely looks the part

I do like the 2+3 headstock... not that I play fives, mind you Looks like a good deal!

I'm not clear whether this is an SGC Nanyo MIJ Bass Collection or something later; it needs more photos; seller says 1989. But it might be a good deal, if you're in reach of Scunthorpe. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bass-guitar-and-amp-/131549803800?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1ea0fab518

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1436470421' post='2818477'] My thoughts exactly but this week the mantra is " don't need another P bass, don't need another red bass, don't need another Peavey bass " [/quote] Yup

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1436471734' post='2818499'] Alyctes why not the adorable Dean in Nuclear Green ? I've had to stop myself from getting one many times [attachment=195956:Dean Green.jpg] But then I've my fair share like this [attachment=195957:B20 (2).jpg] or this[attachment=195958:Wesely Plexi.jpg] [/quote] I don't like the green, but it's not actually god-awful... (I don't mind the crackly Washburn or the mauve perspex job, though the pointy headstocks don't help...)

I have a red Fury like that. Skinny neck, and really aggressive pup. Certainly worth £100 IMO

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1436305486' post='2817003'] Buckle rash not a problem here but cheese grater belly (or worse) might be... [/quote] Belt buckle might be a problem... snag a string and PING!

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1436029484' post='2814470'] Bad? I am disappointed that is in the states or I would be bidding! [/quote] Here you go... one in London: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dean-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Custom-Zone-Florescent-Pink-NEW-/281651474626?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4193bc70c2 and its nearly-as-horrible sister: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dean-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Custom-Zone-Yellow-NEW-/271827679160?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4a3137b8

I bet the neck's proper uncomfortable. But I guess you might get used to it.

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1436285118' post='2816749'] Okay, the bottom string is 0.317" gauge. That's eight millimetres! [size=4]You could make [u]trussrods[/u] out of that.[/size] [/quote] I showed it to my son, and he said you'd have to play it with a mallet. Maybe it's a hammer dulcimer in drag?

That's definitely different
