    [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1407413663' post='2520231'] Speaking of thin-on-the-ground Fenders... anyone ever seen a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Performer_Bass"]1980s Performer bass[/url]? I love the body shape, not sure about the headstock. [/quote] There was one on eBay maybe a year back. IIRC starting bid was £600. Or maybe £900. I did think it was the best-looking Fender bass I'd seen, but I'm not a Fenderhead..

    They do look great, these... good luck with your sale

    If I didn't have one already ... (actually mine's a C4, IIRC)

    I've the five-string version. It's a nice bass, plays well, sounds good.

    There will be lots of people by very soon to explain all the bonuses of playing fingerstyle Personally I don't see what you've got to lose. It won't stop you playing with a pick.

    That's a really nice colour

    Okay, what is this? It looks very Westone Thunder 1, but not named and the headstock is a little different. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Guitar-make-unknown-/231291602812?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item35da0dc77c

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1407030449' post='2516814'] That's a strap button very usual on old basses. [/quote] Ahh, thank you. Of course it is...
  11. alyctes
    Wow. Jaw-dropping.
  12. alyctes
    You're a gentleman, sir
  13. alyctes
    I see that the string tree seems to be run right through the headstock to another on the back. That looks weird. Is it normal for basses of that age?

    [quote name='julietgreen' timestamp='1406846027' post='2515363'] That's great, but then does anyone know of a mini forklift device that can get the cab into the car? I nearly kill myself trying to do this on my own. [/quote] I believe these are called "drummers".

    Working on 'A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square' at the moment. I don't think the words have held up well, but the tune is great

    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1407008308' post='2516678'] Could you just not put a thumb rest on the bass you have in a comfy position for you? [/quote] This.

    [quote name='Skinnyman' timestamp='1406891536' post='2515625'] Can't speak about the bass but I've had two Adam Black acoustics and they're stunning value for money. Have a free bump [/quote] Thanks
  19. alyctes
    Still here.
  20. alyctes
    Second dibs please - just in case.
  21. alyctes
    Too many strings... Have a free bump anyway
  22. alyctes
    I think it's a travel bass, I'm sure Playaway Guitars sold these for a bit. Can't remember the name, sorry.
  23. alyctes
    Stu and I traded basses, his SRX430 for my Mondial Classic. Good comms, promptly sent, well packed, and all as described. I'd happily deal with him again. Thanks Stu
  24. alyctes
    Some interest, but nothing yet agreed.

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1405940886' post='2506669'] This this this this this. Best thing I ever learned as a musician. [/quote] I think I'm probably quoting you... so thank you
