That Hofner needs tea cups!!

I was going to see The Quireboys in a small venue in Dover Paul Weller in Margate Then I had great seats for Queen at the O2 and in september, again, great seats for The Hollywood Vampires at the O2

very nice. White and r/wood plus TV logo, perfect

I have and use QSC K12 x2 and for bigger gigs I add 2 x KSUB. In total its 4K. It cost 3000 pounds just over 7 years ago. The K12s I use in my 80s duo and they are superb, even on their own I love it to bits and have used it outside to quite large crowds, many times. People always comment on the sound. Totally reliable too, never had a problem I use it with an Allen & Heath ZED-FX22

actually it looks really great with tort guard and I'm not really a tort fan. But black is very cool and 70s Enjoy

oooh matron

Liking the Andy Summers Tele

He came to my stand to try my amps out. He was playing them, flat out, for about 10 minutes during the 'quiet time'. A lovely guy and it really drew a crowd too

I probably have more money tied up in guitars than basses. When I was making valve amps about 15 years ago, I started building up a collection of guitar to take to shows, so I could demo my amps with all sorts. first up is my 1989 PRS signature guitar. This is a great guitar Then there is my bitsa strat, there with Uli. 1979 LP Deluxe My Gibson AFD Les Paul ( really good) There's a 67 SG jr, an old Ovation shallow bowl with cutaway, a couple of Vintage brand guitars (3 actually) I love em all

very nice

bought Fat Labrador and finished it this morning thoroughly enjoyable, nice one Dave😀

I think almost everybody who has owned this bass has come on here that's some history!!!

he builds lovely guitars My wife has a daphne blue 63 P bass, non relic

My old Manson, I remember it well. Peter cook gave me 200 quid for it against an Aria SBR-150

the Bravewood was £1500. I think I've had it 7 years

It's very light, very resonant and has a BIG neck. I havent gigged it for a couple of years now but I keep hold of it because it's not really worth selling. It owes me just over 350 quid and I'm hoping that I'll find a gig that needs a Glam-rock bass

It was made by Retrovibe, it's a Renegade. It was a prototype body and neck which I bought from them with this finish, I believe one more was made in this colour and is owned by 12 string bassist who is on BC. It has checkerboard binding too!!

Agreed. I wanted a rickenbacker copy that I had, so sound like a precision. It was basswood, bolt-on neck, r/wood board. I placed the P bass pickup in the correct spot and hey presto, instant P bass

ah one of the modern ones. They are very good. My wife was really close to buying one at a music show, about 10 years ago but it was sold before we knew it

Like this?

one is the fender Sting bass The other is a Bravewood

yep I had one. It was a lovely bass. Fantastic neck and I loved the glass like finish. It sort of purrred when you played it. Not a sound I've ever really heard again from a bass. I sold it when i took delivery of my Bravewood (gratuitous pic opportunity)
