Captain Hindsight here - what do you think the going rate of a BBPH is? I knew I should have pulled the trigger when I had one of the signed ones in my shopping basket when they came out

“You sir May think I’ve got a normal PJ, you may have clocked ive more frets than the last guy... but wait till you see my backside!”

I've never thought about it much but I always presumed that one of the nice things about taking photos of the stars would be the quietness at night and being alone staring up at the infinite.... not a posh party where everyone happens to have a big camera pointing upwards. But you learn something new every day!

YESSSSSSSSSSS this!

oh the hairband type thing! I just figured you actually used a hairband - didn't know it had a actual name

+1

The yen isn’t quite as weak any more. what are fretwraps?!

Well Travis has bought up all the BB424

you can get tools that do them properly, or there's a trick with a bit of fabric or something.

for less than the price of one of your London pints you could find out

isn't this the kinda thing @warwickhunt was asking about?

Guitar guitar have a BBP34 secondhand for £999 too

Fixed

I’m glad you waited till Andy had spent his load on four BB before telling him it’s the green you are repainting

The post where Andy discovers washers

I was about to say "does that include new pickgurards all round" ... but you got there first!

Every time Obscura are meantioned I mentally think of The band Canera Obscura and feel confused

still are mind! He's a builder who doesn't seem to have many unhappy customers... but isn't in vogue in the way he was years back. This is where I think some of our trends are driven by the US fashion. If I spent £2000 ten- fifteen years ago on a Sadowsky, a Lull, a Overwater and a Shuker.... I think one would have increased in value, one would have kept it's value and the other two I would be struggling to sell.

That was the ACG/east filter based preamp the East stuff is a bit more standard (but v v good)

I think John Shuker is great, but about 10 years back EVERYONE on here seemed to own one of his bases

We have trends on here, but I think we also have a massive tendency to see ppl over here jump on whatever Talkbass trend is happening... despite the fact that that gear might not be so good by the time you’ve shipped it Over and paid extra. that said - trends on here I have noticed... j retro with everything Fender roadworn marskzyzhuch (So) Barefaced are the best barefaced handles are the worst shuker basses celinder sue ryder a cycle where everyone ends up with passive precisions... Moving to 5 strings moving back to 4s

One can be wound in and the other can’t?

You have a pink sb1? Is this a excuse to show that Gus off again?
