A classic from 79. He wasn`t allowed to say "cowson" as someone in the bbc said it was offensive so on this live vocal, watch his face after the first Gertcha he misses it out and has a smile to himself. Nice bass playing as well.

Aw man!!

I`m on the look out for a new bass and obviously I`m checking in here on a regular basis. I mean, who`s got time to practice when you are looking at great basses for sale But the amount of adverts with little info is doing my head in. Maybe it`s just me but things like: Where is your location? The amount of adverts that are collect only and then the poster doesn`t put their location especially with bass cabs is frustrating. Not all members have their location in their avatar. Will you post the bass or is it collect only? If you are willing to post, will it come in a hard case, what about insurance, UK only? Weight. This is no big deal for me but for lots of potential buyers it is a deal breaker. It doesn`t take a lot of effort to get a rough weight. And some nice pics of the bass would go down well. A question to the mods. Would it be a major hassle to have a sort of standard form that you fill in when posting something for sale? I realise you guys are busy people and I may be looking for an answer to a problem that doesn`t exist except in my own mind!

Hey Thomas. Richtone is bad for that, lots of the new basses they show are "special order" which basically means they aint got them! Try putting a wanted advert on the Marketplace on here, they sometimes come up for sale.

But is it any good for metal? Coat gotten....

I had a look at a green model in GG in Glasgow and thought the roasted finish on the back of the neck was very unattractive, especially for the money you are shelling out.

It`s a rather bad copy. For that money I would look for a second hand Sterling Sub Ray. At least the Sub bass is from the MM family (I know its not a real MM before someone says it) and is a decent budget bass.

I will give you £175 for it!! 😀 Nah, it`s worth about £450 -£500. Do a search on the for sale forum.

And buy one really nice bass and play the crap out of it instead of buying many 10`s of decent but budget basses and feeling disappointed with them after the honeymoon period is over.

It`s not your imagination, 90% of lead singers really are tossers!

Don`t be silly. Of course you need one! Man up!! 😀

I went looking for a budget Jazz and got a Sire v3. Problem solved! Having said that, that G&L above is good looking.

There is a 50`s P bass on here for £500 and that is crazy money. They are great basses and I don`t know why it`s not gone.

The placement of that thumb rest and the holes that would be left if removed would put me right off. And for a private sale they are asking far to much.

If you love the bass and intend to keep it, I would forget about the run and play it. If you are maybe gonna sell it on in the future, I would return it.
