[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

Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard

I quite like the Antiguaburst. Also, my PC desktop is burgundy mist, or a good approximation to it.

Blimey Sorry, I can't add anything but good wishes.

Not sure about the voice, TBH.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1434475405' post='2800002'] You see lots of free or ridiculously cheap pianos on Preloved/Freeloved. Five miutes searching found these: [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113264386/free-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....free-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113257114/untuned-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....uned-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113241740/bluthhner-upright-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....ight-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113241553/john-broadwood-and-sons-upright-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....ight-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113193789/free-to-collector-upright-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....ight-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113224025/piano.html"]http://www.preloved....4025/piano.html[/url] I'm surprised that somebody hasn't found a use for the wood - bass bodies?? - if nothing else. [/quote] Hm. Might be possible to build a nice bass rack in the carcass of a dead piano... I think you could probably fit 8 or 10 basses in there.

I have a Kramer The Duke, so I have just the faintest inkling of what the sound is based on. (I recognise that bizarre through-bridge stringing arrangement, as well...) That's got to be a monster

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1436184911' post='2815667'] Yes the nut is quiet narrow [/quote] It wasn't a criticism - I was just a bit surprised by it. It's a looker, for sure.

This seems to be a rare beast. Seller is a BC member, if the name is anything to go by. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BJ5B-Bass-Guitar-Terry-The-Blue-Jeans-5-String-SBV-Model-/191622594243?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c9d98bec3 Also, that's a really, really narrow nut on a fiver...

I don't know how rare these actually are, but it's the first I've seen advertised. Not a clue if that's a sensible price, either. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KRAMER-Aluhals-8-String-Bass-SELTEN-inkl-MINOTAUR-Ledergurt-inkl-Case-VINTAGE-/221817924279?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item33a560eab7

I'm interested in the pickup combo, but oh, the colours... Tort just does not go with that body, IMO. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-SPEAR-FLEXTOOL-BASS-GUITAR-WITH-3-PICKUPS-IN-JAMAICA-GREEN-SUNBURST-WOW-/111711340499?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1a0283c7d3

What I can remember by counting my feedback thread: 33+.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1436049530' post='2814638'] My preferred blue would be sonic blue as on this 1956 Cadillac Coupe ... [/quote] Now [u]that's[/u] a blue I could grow to love on a bass.

Westone Spectrum GT, just down the road from me. £110. Hmm. [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/rare-70-s-westone-spectrum-gt-candy-red/1123456297"]http://www.gumtree.c...-red/1123456297[/url]

And, lurching completely off topic, this is the [u]only[/u] tolerable colour for one of these... [url="http://www.mygear.com/img/item_pictures/large/30638.jpg"]http://www.mygear.co...large/30638.jpg[/url]
