9 to 5 - Dolly

Didn't deal with Jezza directly but managed to get my grubby mitts on one of his shorty creations - the 5er, in fact. Absolutely fantastic!! Must thank him for building it in the first place....still waiting for @dodgnofski to post photos of his.

Positive feedback for our man Owen but this transaction probably puts him in the running for the Most Foolish Person 2023. Why?, you might ask. Anybody attending any of the Bass Bashes in the lower half of the country will have seen the amazing basses that Jezza ( @Jabba_the_gut) builds. Amazing and beautiful little creations - and also probably know how difficult it is to part Jezza from them - he being the perfectionist that he is. This transaction with Owen involved him parting with the 5 string that he manage to wrestle from Jezza - yes, I know - how mad must he be!!! Here's the little beauty. You can understand why he qualifies for the title now. In fact it might be an idea if we have a collection to buy him a little padded coat which does up at the back. He's was an absolute gent the whole way through - lots of great correspondence throughout keeping the deal as simple as possible. An asset to this forum. Trade with confidence (if he hasn't been locked by then)

The Laughing Gnome - Mr Bowie

Touch me in the morning - Diana Ross

I bought a bass where the seller wouldn't book the courier but agreed to pack. They sent the wrong dimensions and ended up having to pay a significant fee (about £40 IIRC). Get it right or deal with the consequences.

Crawling from the wreckage - Graham Parker / Dave Edmunds

I could have written this.

My sweet Mallard - George Harrison

Very nice looking SB460 https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/bass-collection-sb416/1462242788

There was a NT one on one of the forums recently. I'll see if I can find the ads.

Didn't even know these existed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134653310651?hash=item1f59f676bb:g:GfIAAOSwoZZksXpN&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwOkBU3T1Smqog7gRRiZn5dC%2BYJphT%2BXW6jDNk%2F54PxgpONip5OFOKnaDFLV5FvzR2lnRhpUF7znGbgWQkY6OFFIjjaQCWB6Yj%2FWRmtuTDdUeuOk9Prw3QoscPopeTjpwc9%2BodMMkfnxRGiu9ikKICuLmV5GyY71%2FQs3uxJSFMvokVWdd2JOwkvWKZMKy2TXObmDRffG7DCZ7xkchbnbD%2B17Sxme93YQ8OJyyGZkE%2FRIazrOBM4GF1AIVa17KpjkKDg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9DQsvStYg

I have more than one - they are ridiculously cheap and simple to use - once you have the hang of saving amended settings you really are away.

Did I see this on ebay/ gumtree for less than £100?

Billy Bragg – “A Nurses Life Is Full Of Woe”

I was given this fellas details but the cost depends on how many other collections en route. [Name] Tim the Courier [Mobile] 07873 401907

Do you know the way to San Jose - Dionne Warwick.

Would love this. Have absolutely no need for it but even so...

Been there...

Yep, just look at the Audi drivers.

Blue, orange and purple...renowned for going together.

Hold on tight - ELO
