    The back of the tuners give a suggestion of how well the bass had been cared for. They're a a bit scabby and the chrome is showing signs of rust coming through the chrome. The knobs were glued on, the pots were lose... Haven't plugged it in yet. Hopefully no issues with the electronics.

    I "accidentally " bought another Yamaha BBG5N11 recently. Seller readvertised the bass after a no sale. I put in a cheeky "that won't win" bid - I was the only bidder. Several days later the spade, er bass arrives. Strings are rusty and dirty. Not a set either. Removed I find the Nut is moving freely. Previous owner must have been a potato farmer - fretboard is filthy and bone dry. No idea where this has been living... Out come the wipes, cleaning duster and the Lemon oil...half an hour later ee have a clean, oiled fretboard looking infinitely better...Nut now glued in safely. Letting the glue dry and the nut to settle in before fitting a set of black tapewounds... How do people let this happen to instruments?? Everything has a value...why would you neglect something so that it deteriorates?? It's beyond me.. Photos to follow...

    Just been looking through the "Basses for sale" thread. 

    For the first time in ages there are some amazing, not often seen, basses for sale.

    Choice of 2 Pedullas, headless ACG, to name just a few .

    I'm glad that I'm skint, otherwise I would be buying more basses that I don't "need".

      I dunno ... £17k for a Wal seems perfectly fair to me. :D

    Bargain...assuming that they have a new home.

    See...the problem with flatwound strings is that they last forever and even though these are an absolute bargain, with about 6 spare sets of tapewounds in my string drawer, it's unlikely that I would ever get the chance to use them. Sadly, on this occasion I must let someone else grab the bargain.... I can't believe that I'm doing this!!!
