  1. The cheap ones (especially the zebrawood) are definitely more interesting - although the bog oak are best offer so maybe he would take £12
  2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wooden-guitar-knobs-made-from-BOG-OAK-5000-YEAR-OLD/282820919193?hash=item41d970bf99:g:vTwAAOSweYxaaFiT:rk:7:pf:0 or 3 nicer looking ones for £12 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wooden-guitar-knob-Zebra-Ebony-Maple-or-Beach-finish-tone-or-volume-wood/371021974249?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Db1cb9631ca1a494aab36f7abc0c049dc%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D371750208889%26itm%3D371021974249&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A56b172ed-d30f-11e8-9495-74dbd180ce07|parentrq%3A88bc7f221660a860b518fe5efff8421b|iid%3A1
  3. Absolutely right - massive endorphin rush on the purchase - I've bought 2 guitars and an acoustic bass in the last fortnight because they were bargains not because I needed them. I've owned and sold much better quality guitars than all 3 of these previously. GAS would make for an interesting psychological research study.
  4. It's always the one you've just sold - didn't know what you had till it was gone !
  5. The snakewood body is nice . I guess the problem with this one is that It's a novelty item at the same price as a quality used bass. I'm sure it will sell on offer for a fraction of £794
  6. Thanks both , My saddle looks a lot higher than pictured above - if I can get it down to that I reckon my problem would be solved. I will give it a try with my spare saddle so I can get back if it goes wrong. BW Ed.
  7. I picked up an Ibanez AEB10 for a steal of a price on ebay last night. The bass is immaculate - it was a newbie's who gave up, presumably because the action was so high. The neck is straight so the problem is saddle height. Obviously this could be shaved (carefully) due to the Piezo, but would it be possible to slot it like a nut to reduce the height ? It did come with a spare saddle so I can experiment ! Is this a job best left to a luthier ?

  9. Harley Benton 6 string in excellent condition. Strung E-C . Nice shallow neck for easy playability. Cheap entry to see if you fancy 6'ers Collection only from Liverpool
  10. Think we have a winner ! Slightly different tailpiece but probably just an older version.
  11. There are quite a few budget brands with ovation style headstocks but all I've seen have a conventional bridge. just noticed the weird dots - that's going to mess up my tree of life decals 😨
  12. I picked up this electroacoustic for £50 from a local seller last night. It sounds and plays fantastic and has on ovation style headstock and a roundback but no branding. Despite some serious googling I couldn't find anything like it. Anybody seen these before ? I bought it to complement my Jazzus on the wall - is that going too far ?
  13. Reading a TB review it said its a bit of a one trick pony - all low end and nothing else - but this one is green ! I tried a Hutchins Prince some time ago and I was really underwhelmed - body from baywatch , pickups from crimewatch !
  14. I love green basses too ! If I had any cash I'd be all over this... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HUTCHINS-Chandler-4-STRING-BASS-Mint-Green-NEW/192670678738?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
  15. Why do I have to sell basses like this 'cos I'm skint 🙁
  16. They should have done a Whitesnake version - 'Beer I go Again '
  17. Nice bass but a marmite finish - I love it !
  18. Mint Ibanez SR1400 NT - barely used. Love the bass but owe the missus cash for something else so no trades please.(Unless your Badastronaut and it's Maruszyck and awesome 😀) Ibanez proudly introduces the first gloss-finish Premium SR bass, the SR1400-NT, featuring a stunning Figured Maple top lamination. The Figured Maple top allows for a clear attack, while the Mahogany body delivers a warm and fat low end. The Atlas-4 5pc Wenge/Bubinga neck provides tonal clarity and superior note attack. Its slim grip shape permits superior playability with the meticulous Premium fret edge treatment. The neck is constructed with KTS™TITANIUM reinforcement rods, increasing its stability and adding sustain. The neck end adjustment allows you to adjust the neck easily without loosening the strings. The Mono-Rail V is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation with a wide intonation range. Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, EQ bypass switch, and 3-way midfrequency switch allow for precise tonal control (250 Hz, 450 Hz, and 700 Hz). When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble-tone control knob acts as a passive tone control for the instrument’s output. The single-coil Nordstrand™Big Single fits in the soap-bar pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture while still retaining the clarity that’s characteristic of single-coil pickups. Other features include the BLACK TUSQ XL® nut and the Gotoh® machine heads. A soft case is included.
