  1. Yeah 👍
  2. Have been to 2 gigs in 2 weeks, can you tell I’m not gigging at the moment? 😂 Last week was Corey Kent @ Birmingham Academy 2 with the fantastic Jordan Ray Landers on bass! Cracking show! Last night I re-lived my youth and watched Madina Lake @ The Asylum in Birmingham! Thoroughly enjoyed it and nice to see them back at it… Ruined a bit by a parking ticket on the van as I’d completely missed that the car park requires you to pay a full day fee for parking a van and I’d only paid 4 hours. Bit confusing as everything was out of order and the app has no van option. But, never mind… £60 into the idiot tax box.
  3. One of the above, in a used but good working condition with a couple of Velcro pads on the bottom. Will come in a box, but it’s the wrong box. £35 posted.
  4. Would consider trades for Pre amp or Chorus pedals.
  5. Joel bought my TU-2 tuner pedal. Absolute gent to deal with. Great comms, fast payment and made the transaction a pleasure! Thanks Alex
  6. Decided to upgrade the bridge and tuners on my Gretsch, to Gotoh to add a some tuning stability and, well I wanted black hardware. Absolutely fallen for this bass, it sounds and feels awesome for what I need. And, considering with the new bits it’s still only cost me around £350, it absolutely rips! I’m thinking I’d like to put some black Gretsch knobs on it now though… Does anyone have any kicking around they’d like to sell before I go to a certain Chinese distributor? This was my first time changing anything myself on a bass too, other than strings, strap locks and a basic setup and it went well with no swears. Only very slight annoyance is that the D string screw is fully extended and the intonation is very fractionally flat but there’s no more left on the screw. But, it’s fractions and un-noticeable to the average ear. Anyway, here it is with its new bits. Really pleased, quite like it without the pickguard too, but I like to stick my pick under it…. Maybe a RightOn strap with pick holders instead, and some new black pickup covers… Ah, it never ends 🥲🙏
  7. I think if you own and play a bass for over 10 years, you’ll sincerely miss it when it’s gone. If there’s a genuine reason to get rid, i.e you solely play 5 string or short scale now, or the neck shape is causing you pain and so on, then move it on. Similarly, if you’ve only had it a couple of years and unsure of it then it’s probably not for you. Hate to say it but the internet (this forum especially) is generally the root of GAS. My suggestion is to stop watching YouTube videos of the T’Bird for a bit and more and you’ll likely stop lusting for one. For what it’s worth, I have a Mex Fender Jazz & a black Epi T’bird pro and as mentioned above, as fun as the T’bird is for 10 mins of fun, it’s massive and pretty uncomfortable to play unless you’re throwing it around a stage. If you’ve got only 1 bass, you can’t go far wrong with the Jazz. IMO of course. Alex On second thought, that’s very sensible of me, buy a Gibson.
  8. Very nice that!
  9. Wow that’s a cool bass! GLWTS 👍
  10. Think I’m may actually go for some Gotoh GB707 instead. My main concern was tuning stability rather than reducing weight and I can save about £20 on them against the licensed HS and they’ll already be a huge step up from the existing Chinese ones. Thanks for everyone’s help with this
  11. Really enjoyed reading that! Looking forward to the end result, looks great so far 🙌
  12. That’s good to know, I’ll take a look! I’m going to be putting a Gotoh B201B4 bridge on it anyway so not set on Hipshot.
  13. Wow! That’s bloody stunning! 😍 I’ve seen a lot of Andy’s work on the build diaries and have always been blown away. But, I’d not seen this before! Is there a thread from when he did the work?
