  1. Went for £53. I read a review of these a few years ago - not complimentary. I seem to recall the singlecut Spears were not bad for the money though.
  2. Can anyone suggest a source? Fretless preferred, but not essential Alternatively, what brands/makes use 22-fret necks? Thanks folks
  3. Wow. Just as well it's got too many strings and frets! Good luck with your sale
  4. That's a really useful read Pin, please, mods
  5. I think the headstock is probably where your hairspray went
  6. It's very Brecht/Weill, isn't it
  7. I'm after a 705... I think Ibanez aren't making new ones at the moment. I hope they change their minds and start again.
  8. Farida FJB-6. This is a bolt-on Farida J-J passive four-string, in candy apple red with a mint/black/mint scratchplate. I bought it through eBay and never used it much. Nice, well-made J-style bass with the typical Farida short lower horn. It has seen a fair bit of use but has no serious scars; the worst are a millimetre-size pit on the back of the neck - possibly put there deliberately, but certainly not by me - and a scrape on the lower body, not visible from the front and not large. The scratchplate has lots of small scratches. I've tried to take pics. The truss rod turns happily. It's not a lightweight at 4.7kg (10.4lb), so probably best avoided if you have back trouble. It's a nice bass, but I'm not using it - mostly playing fretless nowadays. £100 plus carriage. Bank transfer preferred. The bass is in Poole and I'd be happy to drive an hour or so to deliver or meet. Or it can be couriered at buyer's cost and risk; it will be properly packed. Edit: Some pics.
  9. Not my thing, but that's really well done. Plus they have a cellist
  10. More practice you tosser! (aimed at myself). Is that really how it goes?! If he says "one more time with feeling" again I'm going to kill him.
  11. Don't drink so much.
  12. Nobody wants to hear originals, and we haven't got a drummer...

    Score
  14. Two octaves with barely a movement of the hand.
  15. Dammit. Second dibs, please
  16. Where are you? Will you courier?
  17. I have a cheapo six lap steel I'm intending to convert for bass strings and pups - probably three strings. Mostly just to see what it sounds like, but you never know - I'm a Sandman/Morphine fan
  18. Not sure the font is right for that date...
  19. I like that it's posted as a Men's Unisex t-shirt
