Yep, Kay. I was given one and restored it. Actually quite a nice bass with a bit of love, nice punchy pickups, brass nut and fret markers.

Someone's Looking At You - The Boomtown Rats

That looks fantastic @fleabag. I've always liked the hofner striped fret markers so this is right up my street.

Is anyone in Northern England looking for a BB734a? A coffee burst one is on facebook marketplace for £300 in Penrith. Nothing to do with me but I thought I'd mention it.

I've got a pair of them in my drawer ready for a project. They're not very wide but I've got this mad idea of fitting them staggered longways, like an insane P pickup. They're only £26.50 direct form Warman

I went to see Peter Hook & The Light last night. How the back of my BBPH now looks, 😀

How old were you when you did your first gig?

Little bit of a late starter. 21, in a band called The Bobblehats at The Buccaneer in Gunnislake, Cornwall. A fantastic, distorted, ear shattering riot that saw us banned from ever playing there again. 😂 -
And then managed to get Hooky to sign the control cover from my BBPH and the pickguard from my Eastwood Hooky 6 Fac51 edition. Most definitely chuffed.

Having a couple of pints at the hotel before wandering over the road to see Hooky. Much Yamaha and Shergold bass action awaits. 😎

Scrub that, I think it was 19mm at the bridge.
-
I had a Yamaha BBG5S which fits all the criteria apart from possibly the weight. Absolutely fantastic bass for not very much money. I'm sure there's other Yamahas that fit the bill too.
-
Going to see Peter Hook and The Light on Saturday and then Albert Lee in three weeks. Variety is the spice of life apparently.
-
I have a Kimbara Ripper. It's definitely above average build quality wise for the time and it's not overly heavy, big body but not very thick. It plays really nicely with that comfy, worn in feel that you don't get with a new bass. That may be physical but may equally be psychological. Mojo eh?

Hash Pipe - Weezer Beaten to it, but it still works depending on your outlook.

Double post, I said double post!

I used to work in a place that had a fella that was the absolute spit of Ned Flanders (The Simpsons), I mean he was more Ned Flanders than Ned Flanders. Anyway he was a bit useless and I used to help him out a lot, to the point I was known as his beach. This is the motor trade so banter rather than nastiness. My surname is Maunder and Ned's wife is called Maude so that became my name there. It stuck and I've used it online ever since.

Truly terrible covers of the good and the great

'Beyond Terrible'. Thank you, that's gone straight into my possible band names bank. -
I paid £1500 for my car five years ago. It does everything I want it to do. Some people spend £150,000 on cars and they're badly built, barely driveable, and they crash them. Horses for courses. If you want and you can, you do.

I don't know the answer to your problem but WOW! £81 from Bax at the mo for the Hot Rod P. What a price and what a looker. 😎👍

@ash, that is fantastic. Very jealous. In other news, I've just seen this on the facebook bass vi group (from talkbass) which is interesting. An Ibanez Talman TMB35 converted to six string. The string spacing looks much better than the majority of factory bass vi's, and the pickups will sound like a bass. A bass players bass vi rather than a guitar players. Oh yeah forget the link 🙄😁 https://www.talkbass.com/threads/ibanez-talman-bass-vi-reduced.1599861/
