Here she is

1991, black and maple. Quite worn in places but it was a bargain and the neck sounds fine - think it's in customs now so will sit tight for the tax ransom letter

Yeah in the states though. Should be here soon...

Basses of that calibre hold their value (unlike many custom builds) and if you can afford the price of admission (second hand) you rarely lose money buying and selling them unless you’re in a massive rush. It seems that most people aren’t, but eager to try the next one along when the opportunity arises. Good clean fun if you ask me.

My early SB1 is in the post still... might be here by the weekend, probably not!!

Hm so the bass arrived in the UK on the 20th but since then it’s disappeared from Patcelfarce’s tracking. Jolly good. I wasn’t expecting it to be here any time soon/ever so I live in hope. Not surprised in the slightest.

Yeah it was mostly tongue in cheek but upon flicking through a digital copy it did strike me as mostly Fender based. Obviously I skipped the Ricken*****r pages 😎

As long as you like Fenders in different colours, you’re good!

Must be one of the google ads. It happened before and they sorted it, I’ll report it

Yeah I'll whack it in site issues in case it helps anyone else. Cheers

Hm the IP is a vodafone broadband one (your home WiFi?) Ah just seen your reply, glad it's sorted...

Mine all live in a rack on my desk, but the rack has a lid so they're covered (It looks like a coffin) The mini bass is always chilling in the lounge so I can easily grab it and have a noodle whilst I'm watching Love Island

They’re very selective in what they deem inappropriate. Normally it boils down to what doesn’t lose them money.

They just ban the customer for asking to come and try

It’s so you don’t just pay for it face to face rather than through eBay. They want their grubby mitts on your money.

As long as it’s not punk I’ll give it a spin 😎

Ah right thanks. I’ve never listened to those bands 👍🏻

Who on earth is this dUg character I keep hearing about

I wear mine, it helps me keep time Thank you

That

To an extent, yeah - but it won’t sound like a Zon

And every single person will sound like they’re playing a P bass, despite HOW they play it.

Totally agree @thegummy The way someone plays is quite different from the sound of the bass they play. As demonstrated in this clip. I don’t know why people still say that someone sounds the same regardless of what they play. It’s crazy. Nobody would have more than one bass if they all sounded the same. Nobody would make basses, different pickups, amplifiers, strings, pedals... Just listen to the zon. Then the Dingwall. Yes, what’s being played is similar (it’s the same kind of groove) but the basses sound totally different. Totally! How could they not? If I’m wrong then we’d better contact the thousands of manufacturers and tell them not to worry about their basses, just whack them together and forget about what electronics and woods you use because they all sound the same. Same for amplifier companies - nah don’t worry about what speaker sizes or EQ section, I’ll still sound like me. Strings? Doesn’t matter, I’ll just use pieces of solder instead of Sunbeams, they make no difference. 😂
