  1. Mr Mooseblaster recently had a string clear out and kindly sent me a set of Rotos. As he wouldn't take postage costs I asked if a charity could be named,his other half nominated the worthy http://www.friendshipworks.org.uk/ An excellent result for everyone. Many thanks Ralph you're top fella.
  2. Yeah saw a video today on FB. Cracking idea and using a footpedal to swap between sides is genius. Simple but still genius
  3. The Marathon sounds bloody brilliant and I was surprised at the HB Strat, another thumbs up for HBs. Also liked the " As Is " recording, more akin to what the track might sound like live. Few drinks,noisy club and this playing, I don't see many punters complaining. Aye aw good for me.
  4. I've recently been using the t-bone IEM 75 from Thomann as well with no complaints. Didn't think the earbuds were much cop but I'm only using them at practise,looks like I'll be trying the Mrice. Cheers for the heads up.
  5. Any one see this Westone Thunder III ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-4-string-Thunder-Base-Guitar/121689277037?_trksid=p2059216.c100149.m2821&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140127103305%26meid%3D8ae7af8f897342059b0a6938ad21e59a%26pid%3D100149%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D121694797451 Collection only from a pawn shop in Morden SM4 ? £199 so you could easy haggle lower in the shop. Apologises if it already been posted.
  6. Thank you very much. Turned out to be a good day,just back from the shop with 12p Danish pastries
  7. I had no plans on buying a bass today but hey a look on gumtree never hurts. Well today a Retrovibe RV4 was for sale at £80. Emails and texts were sent before I even worked out how I would get there,no car ATM. 3 hours of buses and trains later I'm in a car park in Blairgowrie thinking " damn I should minded the Amplug at the very least " Too late by then Young fella turns up,I open the case,yes hard case inc in the £80,everything intact and no real chips or scratches.Deal done and another 3 hours public transport. The lad said he was selling due to a Fender Jazz coming his way but I think the reason was the RV4. Never have I seen a bass so in need of a simple set up. A boot lace was tied before the nut to stop the strings popping out the nut string height a mile high try 7mm at 17th saddles maxed up Truss rod cover had never been off and a good 1/4 turn settled things,I'll see how it is in the morning but bloody hell £80. I feel like I won a watch [attachment=195783:Retrovibe RV4 (1).jpg][attachment=195784:Retrovibe RV4 (2).jpg]
  8. They definitely must come direct to Scotland. In 12 orders I've never waited longer than 3 days from order shipped, allowing for Sundays Maybe you should send them via my house .
  9. Selling on behalf of Ali Express. Has the obligatory double neck R**k on her FB page along with the Fodera fakes and god knows what else. Has 1000 friends though
  10. Well done Dad. Shame you lost the bass but at six he'll be in bed early. You can claim it back till he gets up again
  11. My luck with this has remained true.Damn thing's no for sale anymore Thanks for the replies lads.
  12. Absolute steal. The criminal undervalue of Peavey strikes again But then someone is going to be very lucky
  13. Stunning bass Rob. Well worth the 18 months it took.
  14. Ugly ? I'll have you know I've kept the glorious melted plastic miasma scratchplate on both the PJ4 and JB-75. Except for the time drunk ** I'm noted for my excellent taste,so lets hear no more talk like that . ** 1982 - 1996. 2002 - 2012.
  15. Even at £80 it's a great deal Andy, was around £64 for my B-stock P/J 4. With it's bent tuners it's still a good bass (currently sporting Chromes ).
  16. So bearing in mind it's " Decoration only not playable " are you pleased ?
  17. Lovely looking bass . Had the pleasure of buying from F3NDER in the past and it was quick and easy.He's right about the delivery times it'll be there in no time. GLWTS
  18. So you have the joy of popping around 6 metre of airbags when you get home Don't envy you the next 6 hours.
  19. Cheers Paul Was afraid that would be the answer.
  20. I've quite fancied a Danelectro for a while but passed on one the other night. It was gonna be shipped in a gig bag but I don't see how a hardboard body would make it to Scotland intact. The bass was the Wild Thing model. Anyone had one and if so how fragile are they ?
