Glad that Rob is on the mend. I have no interest in these new basses though. 🤢🤮

This doesn't work - problem with the jack socket requiring soldering - He states it won't work till this is done and you'll probably want to hear it before handing over any money. It's also grubby but he can't be rrrsed to do that. Oh, and he won't post it out. So to be sure it works OK you have to go round to his house, with your soldering iron - fix the jack socket, possibly replace the jack socket itself, clean the bass and fit a new set of strings. There is also an issue with some delamination. " To conclude, currently this can’t be plugged in and played via an amp, or audio device, it needs some tlc. But this vintage and rare beautiful shaped bass will be loved by any collector once it’s seen the love it needs by someone in the know or a local luthier." https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404425334018?hash=item5e29a0dd02:g:UBEAAOSw069k0Bvz&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwGeXZyxEl7Q8XZ7mtGqXkQFv55DnvGGrvEWL6FvYk2YiDHmC4mx3nwjzCp9Qp%2BOEHQW%2F5jljz7GDIPC4F0bfNWwv9AraanIDIqrgBRebQojsrzZqSPIIAHaFe6AGvTNxZGjPzEanGLHxEsP%2BpxYNDqYtmarRDxiBPiVhO7CqOelz84EN70xft4pm1vTsitv9VefSZ6oWTCAL0n%2FsarT9YTRB5%2Fl5kJ9T6YCnCFwNDRSbcaNs0Hpc9LBu14soD5BTuw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-zPneG6Yg I'm not sure if this is the same model/ bass which sold on ebay a couple of years ago for significantly less. Being sold by one of those Manchester scallywags....😉😉

My first bass was a Westone Thunder 1A. I remember thinking they were the best thing since sliced bread...ah, those were the days. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134678698600?hash=item1f5b79da68:g:mTsAAOSwqnVkw8FR&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwE3gclNUeAHvS%2BLPe0r7GCpsBebVmQM%2F2BIywYBwnGvY9c5dd4jusIapWxZr09ReBly30ZxuZfR7ALXZjUpJGegxhEMAFk70Z5uYI3c0MkXBdO4CZgLNj2idHlJUzJdHxuOKQkPbknR4Kmh2CG4e7i6OutJHkfG2J5%2BxJ2p89bed7tHkV1cEhzq9gCGCKgPba%2BpLCngUksxFfjnrNBOWde76oHE9H1MxHkp%2FyfmGxgZRIhzFhtE8tvnCjGOshagJqA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-SB5-C6Yg

Isn't it the case that moving pianos makes them go out of tune? How much does it cost to have one tuned?

I never really considered these as "real" Trace Elliots even though they did have one thing in common with your full cream milk TEs - weight!! For a small practice amp they don't half weigh something.

My late sister was in a care home for the last 10 years of her life which had a fella come in and do Brat Pack, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, etc. You might find a few classics on these.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Watch-Girls-Various/dp/B00000JP1J https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Watch-Girls-Various-Artists/dp/B00002R0W2/ref=pd_bxgy_sccl_1/257-5527647-3643221?pd_rd_w=bkYoW&content-id=amzn1.sym.40f919ed-e530-4b1a-8d7e-39de6587208d&pf_rd_p=40f919ed-e530-4b1a-8d7e-39de6587208d&pf_rd_r=45MGYG5J4E2JKNE5YPYP&pd_rd_wg=IyBIS&pd_rd_r=d30e7344-8557-4051-b47d-b6bf7d0e32e0&pd_rd_i=B00002R0W2&psc=1

What is worse is when there are more than one version of the same band touring simultaneously. Lots of examples - I watched the documentary on the Bay City Rollers recently which stated that at one time there were 3 different versions of the band on tour at one stage (coincidently one was booked for a company do by one of my neighbours).
