Pink. Preferably dayglo.

Vox White Shadow was my first guess. OTOH I'm too ignorant to know if there were fives, or buckers...

[quote name='Bass Awkward' timestamp='1392312703' post='2367232'] ... I was thinking of a semi-fretless, with only frets 1,3,5,7,9 and 12. ... [/quote] Oooh... that's a really, seriously deranged idea. Good man

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1391950700' post='2362874'] More like a P neck and compared to a SR, big! In fact the whole bass is rather big and on the heaviish side which is why I got shot of mine. Decent sounding bass though for the price. [/quote] Hmm... Are the SR necks and ATK necks interchangeable, by any chance? <shameless threadjack/>

I have the impression it's probably easier to find a second-hand Peavey Cirrus BXP than a Grind. Cirrus is active and the early ones (like mine, grrr) had a battery-life problem, but they are nice - fast skinny neck, comfortable, play well, look pretty (though the tiger-stripes are too gaudy for me).

What are the ATK necks like? I'm only curious, no GAS at all...

Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6. Not sure what the track is.

I read the headstock as "GR", FWIW...

I've been keeping an eye on SR300s here and on eBay recently, and IMO a good second-hand SR300 seems to go for £130-170 here. I think you should look at this though - definitely a good price: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227560-ibanez-sr600-natural-ash/page__pid__2355403#entry2355403."]http://basschat.co.u...3#entry2355403.[/url] (And yes, I'm only promoting it to stop myself buying it... )

That's a bit steep for an ad with one fuzzy pic...

[quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1391687000' post='2360120'] This is the first I've heard of these but for £100 I'm sure trying one out! [/quote] Me too

SR300 gets my vote. The one on the rack is 38mm wide at the nut. It's thinnest behind the first fret; at that point it's about 20mm thick (not counting the fret). I don't know the Epi (I'm guessing not many people do), but that ought to give you something to compare with

I think I may have seen that before as well... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228660-ibanez-musician-1984/

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1391598770' post='2358924'] Royal Mail issued a new booklet of prohibited & restricted items in July 2013, with particular sections on batteries of most types with specific rules for Lithium, which are banned UK & International if not within an electronic device. Every parcel I send I'm asked what's in it & if there are any batteries. [/quote] The three or four parcels I've sold recently, I've been asked what's in them, but not about batteries. Evidently the training lags in some places. Either that, or I exude an air of confidence so compelling that nobody's going to ask me to prove anything...

This is a little worrying: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25733346 This bit is definitely worrying: "... a lot of post goes on aircraft, even within the UK, so [u]ask at the Post Office[/u] if you are sending a device with a lithium battery inside." Please be careful and follow the rules. They are there for a reason
