  1. We did a blind test at one of the Herts Bass Bashes where there was a consensus that people (in the room) could tell the difference between Maple and Rosewood boards much to the dismay of @Lozz196 and @bassface2k10 who had both brought basses with Maple fretboards.
  2. Firstly the name on the headstock "Easton"?? is not dissimilar to the seller's username - could he be the "lutheir"? Now he doesn't give any indication what the main parts are. As well an the pickups being from a 70s Hondo could the neck and body be too?? "aged by hand in the UK" - how was this managed? Could this have happen naturally - by neglect, let's say? I'm not giving him my £600 anyway. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404272918398?hash=item5e208b2f7e:g:9PIAAOSw6F9kSYKH&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4BfhXtsGa48RqDX0XmKat6GTuWFZk4DzMhv3JCIdNpqNpL3yNyus6kyW4sQPgeowIg4bdYxF%2BCOksSSRKRotX8uhyOh742SkJknL%2BwGZ%2FCJNqmxJRE3nGODkauit9wZ2pXX%2BymFIFhKcrs74JrRMotXHIxF8cyvWIhOxKcQKSYXYS5M63ootHbYJbXgQ7OBId6YYYH7HQYcvIQZ8sWdoHm6m2ab1DMbex0EzG3zS4Cp7spte1mE%2FH13qzAb1%2FZLU%2Fpkzr6e%2FAVa5ijDVZ445OJgBAcmFkhTYmN0CV2dRNCLi|tkp%3ABk9SR4623Mj9YQ
  3. Didn't I sell you one of these yeeeears ago? Surely can't be the same one...
  4. I'd check to see if he's running a "Build your own bass" courses this year - buy all the parts in advance, glue up any wood you might want to use and go prepared... Dib dib dib, dob dob dob.
  5. Outrageous!! Parcelforce on the other hand get loads of stick for their poor performance yet the last three 48 hours delivery transactions have arrived safely in 24 hours. You can't trust any of them or their reputations. Hit and Miss - booked it and start to pray.
  6. Get 'em while you can...you'll need 'em one day... Thankfully Ross, @uk_lefty came to my rescue recently. Top fella!!
  7. There's one on Gumtree for £650 https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/ibanez-ehb-series-e-bass-ehb1000s-pmm-short-scale-pink-gold-metallic-mat-bag/1457318449
  8. A Sire for £300? That would be the one, or maybe a Spector, but then the Squier PJ is good value for money. To paraphrase ole Winston "never before, in the field of human bass playing, has so much been available to so many, for so little.."
  9. Sun of my father - Chickory Tip
  10. I've had 3 G&Ls but not a LB100. SB2 was a good 'un...can't go wrong.
  11. Dream a little Dream of me - mummas and papas
  12. I thought that 1/2" was 13mm so fine for 14mm hole. Are these 5/8" then?
  13. Smacks of angry wife punishing brow beaten husband.
  14. Several people looking for lightweight basses currently - useful to know what this actually weighs.
  15. Andrew...too cryptic for me. Can we have a bit more detail - I know that Dan wouldn't ask. Dan, hope that we can help you out in some way...
  16. Like a bat our of hell - Meatloaf
  17. What!!?? You mean that this isn't true?? Why Sleep Grounded? Did you know that the Earth’s surface is covered by a blanket of electrons, which may act as one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories? Every time we come into contact with the Earth’s surface, we are able to absorb these free electrons through our skin through a process called grounding, or Earthing. Grounding during sleep provides the body with multiple hours of uninterrupted Earthing, at a time where the body naturally undergoes the most healing and regeneration. But it sounds so plausible.
  18. I think I could live with that.
  19. Supersonic - Jamiriquai
  20. Far too cheap IMO. You could expect to pay closer to £800 in the real world. I've seen a couple on ebay for that figure.
  21. Don't take away the music - Tavares??
  22. Beautiful green PJ - very close to my "perfect" bass - if it was a 5er.... GLWTS
  23. I have a beautiful mirror black Lakland 55-01 which I don't like to touch - fingerprints are a problem.
  24. I really don't like the looks of these - none of the lines seem to flow - designed by committee?? And why are there so many for sale???
