*Update* This has now been sold Listing here first to give people who know what this is an opportunity to see it! Anyone who knows what this bass is knows how special it is (pun not intended). Made in Japan between 1984-87 this has buckets of tone from a reversed P pickup in the neck position and a J pickup at the bridge. There’s a pickup selector switch and after that’s where the electronics get fun - I’m not going to attempt to explain it myself, so here’s a link to an image made by a Talkbass user to explain: https://goo.gl/images/Yg4bSb I bought this from Johnny Roadhouse in Manchester in July 2009 so have no idea what it’s story is before then, but this was my main bass for the next 5 years - I’m selling now because it’s hardly been used since then and deserves more than being sat in a bag in my spare room. There are quite a few dings as per the pictures, most of which were already there when I got it - I’d be lying if I said I haven’t added to them though. I’m selling with the flight case because the foam insert is shaped for a P bass and this is the last P shaped bass I own, but will sell without the case for £400. I’m open to offers and may consider a trade. I’m in Manchester and would prefer buyer to collect or to meet somewhere rather than arrange anything with a courier. Any questions, or if you want any photos from a different angle, give me a shout

Is last night's audience of one a record?
Tomjbass replied to leschirons's topic in General Discussion
Played to a micro-audience quite a few times, the best one though was the barmaid, promoter/owner and sound guy - on a rainy Thursday night in Accrington. No other bands on either...I guess we had one person there but she was the guitar player's girlfriend and the only reason she was there was 'cause she drove him around. -
Just sold some machine heads to Mick, he was very helpful to an inexperienced member and confirmed he'd got them straight away so one less thing for me to worry about Would happily deal with Mick again with no worries! Nice one Tom

Should the bass player be on the left...looking at the band?
Tomjbass replied to iconic's topic in General Discussion
For me, I prefer stage left too, but that's mainly 'cause in my old band first few gigs I was stage right, but the singer/rhythm guitar was very clumsy so when it got to an instrumental bit and he got excited he'd move away from the mic and there'd be some sort collision... It carried on after I swapped sides with lead guitar, but I'd rather take a headstock to my arm than to my bass. Bruises go away, notches, scuffs and scrapes don't.
