  1. OMG!!! Just fitted a set of Status tapewounds (40-120) to my BB5GS - man, what a change in tone. Absolutely monster tones - feels like being kicked in the chest by Darth Vader wearing size 14 Doctor Marten boots. Highly recommend to anybody who wants to start a volcanic eruption on the Moon.
  2. Inspired by a couple of existing threads. What (forgotten) albums will future generations re-discover? I'll go... Infected - The The Introducing the Hardline according to Terence Trent-D'arby Stop Making sense - Talking Heads Handsworth Revolution - Steel Pulse
  3. Thriller - Michael Jackson
  4. The girl of my best friend - Elvis
  5. There's a white BB425 on Gumtree https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/mint-yamaha-bb425-5-string-bass/1401509253 Referred to as a "Broad Bass" for £150 https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-5-string-broad-bass-with-fender-gig-bag/1404641594
  6. ...and a mere $2,299.00 · Joe Dart Jr.
  7. White and gold???? Naaaa
  8. Is this on Gumtree currently? Just checked...Different model
  9. Call that a split??? You should have seen my Silk Bass when I gave it to @Andyjr1515... As you can see if you follow the thread @Andyjr1515 would have no issues fixing it!!
  10. Welcome... Good choice in the Spector...much loved here..

    The world's greatest riddle???
  12. Lots of technical explanations above... All you really need to know - TRACE ELLIOT IS BETTER!!!
  13. Spirit (level) in the sky - Norman Greenbaum
  14. Love how the woods complement each other...watching with interest.
  15. If I were a carpenter - Four Tops
  16. I've been able to find 4 string sets of Tapewounds but not 5 string sets. Really frustrating. I rang Dawn at Status and she was able to dig through some shelves and managed to find me a .40 and 2x .120s which I can use to make the full set with the existing sets of Status Tapewounds I bought a while back.. As always she was polite and really helpful. Many thanks, Dawn. FYI she has no sets, she has very few long scale (but not enough to make a full set) and a few medium scale (fine for 2+2 headstocks)
  17. Twyford Down - Galliano
  18. Vintage is a brand I see for sale quite a lot but know nothing about. They seem to use exotic materials (as with this) which I would associate with "quality" but they sell for not much. I like the look of them - a nod towards the Nanyos I so love. This looks like a good bass - unfortunately I'm trying to persevere with 5ers and I've been burnt by fretless basses in the bass - I need to leave them alone. I'm sure that this will sell without any problem - GLWTS.
  19. Fat Bottom Girls - Queen
  20. You mean Wife's birthday, wedding anniversary type thing???
  21. Small Town boy - Bronski Beat
  22. I have the X-Men guitar...
  23. ...and famously "When Doves cry" but take the bass out of most tracks and listeners notice.
  24. I get knocked down but I get up again - Chumbawumba
