Bought an XR18 from Steve. All as described, delivered quick and safely. Excellent comms and a nice chap too. You'll have no worries here. Deal with confidence. Cheers Dunc

I don't understand any entertainment awards. All I can see is well known and in the main, wealthy people patting themselves and each other on the back. I find it quite embarrassing and cringeworthy really. Why anyone would want to watch this type of media driven shambolic tripe is beyond me. 😂

Had a thought about Sid today, on the 2nd of Feb he will be dead 39 years! Where did all that time go?!!!

Clive bought my TB1000. Graat bloke to deal with. Swift payment, good comms. What more could you ask for? Thanks again Clive. Cheers Dunc

White Man in Hammersmith Palais, The Clash.

I did a trade for one of these recently with tom1946 on here (he has a twin to it for sale on here too). What a good bass it is. Lovely neck, good sound, nice and light too. I can't fault it. Give it a bit of a tweak to my own taste and it's a fabulous instrument for the money (or even more). The only thing I would change is the back of the neck. It's just a bit too glossy for me but a bit of a sand down would sort that. Some folk prefer the tone pot but to be honest I very rarely use it. I'd been looking for another white/maple board P for a while as a backup to my JV57. Now I find myself thinking of retiring the JV for most gigs (plenty of rough venues) and using it as a main. Good job I came to my senses as I nearly sold it to fund another project. I've had loads of basses and very few 'keepers'. I think this might well be one of them. Far more of an instrument than I expected. Anyone else have love for these?

And it's only a practice amp! Maybe it's not really broken either, he might not be strong enough to flick the switch!

Reluctantly, I have to agree with the OP. After much thought, I must say (1979ish) my no name cack P bass, Selmer Treble n Bass head and 18" whatever cab is the sound that made the hairs on my neck stand on end. Folk may scoff. I've loved Peavey, Eden, Orange BF etc but that setup really did it for me. Maybe it was my age. Wish I could get that feeling again though.

I think Ash from this very forum has a JV Jazz. I would imagine that he would be a good contact for any advice.

Could be relly useful if you were a sandblaster who liked to noodle at lunchtime?

Just like a 60's Eastern European bass!

Hi Roj, long time no hear! It's the head thats a big problem for me. It looks like a moose! May very well weigh as much too. Has a 60's Eastern European look...

They took an Ampeg 2x10 from Lancashire to the south of France for under £20 about 12 months ago.

Rik bought a desk from me., Great communication and a hassle free deal. If only they were as easy as this one. Nice chap too. Thanks again Rik Cheers Dunc

I worked for many years with a singer/guitarist who basically was a condescending nightmare. He sacked everybody and anybody when he felt like it. He was unable to join in a jam. He had to lead it as he just didn't have the ability to jam with someone else's idea. Frantic rants broke out if anything went against the way he thought. His bass lines were always the "best" and he let everyone know it. Eventually I left and that was the end of his band career as no-one else on the planet would have put up with him! I've heard he has started another band though. He sacked the drummer in favour of a drum machine before the first rehearsal! I pity the bass player...
