There's a green 1200s lefty for sale on Facebook that has been attacked with a sander, poor thing. An absolute shame as looking at the sellers previous posts on the vintage yamaha group it was in really good nick six years ago when he bought it, then three months later he was claiming the wear was 100% natural. Natural if you use it to test out power tools I suppose.

Open Up - Leftfield and Lydon

Sunny Side of the Street - The Pogues (RIP Mr. MacGowan)

This is sound advice. I'd suggest getting a fretless. It can be played as per your 'regular' basses but can also open up a whole new world of bass. If you buy the right one second hand but don't get on with it then simply move it to on.

Hourglass - Squeeze

A Forest (Gump) - The Cure

And there just happens to be an unplayed, Sparkling Burgundy one on eBay for a monkey.

No Chump Love Sucker - RHCP

Flying Without Wings - Westlife (key change, all stand)

Yes, is the short answer. All the other nonsense about wood and fairies will follow. 😉

Stir It Up - Bob Marley

What are we calling streaky? Maybe it's not showing up in the pictures, or maybe I'm being daft, but all I can see is the different laminates of wood taking up the stain differently. If it is this then it's unavoidable as differing woods will absorb the stain differently, resulting in varying shades.

Exactly. Totally appreciate the heads up. I didn't get the £12 ones but £16 is still a bargain. 👍

Simple Man - Skynyrd

Hell Bent For Lather - Judas Priest

Insane from the Methane - Cypress Hill

... to not be so antagonistic and things might not have got so out of hand. 😐

Rumble On - Led Zep

In di an(d) - Linkin Park

Dry Your Rice - The Streets

Up the Danos! ✊ 😁

Mine arrived after a couple of days. Everything looks legit, Players Circle numbers entered on the D'addario site and accepted so I can't see that they're fake.

Tin Soldier - The Small Faces

Crash - The Primitives

We Are The League - Anti-Nowhere League
