Great seeing all these bases. Keep em coming folks.

The Shine 6 here was cheap in price at £60 inc delivery. I got it just to see how I'd do with 6 strings,then decided I didn't [attachment=197710:Shine 6 (2).jpg] Hid it in a case for a while but recently dug it out with selling it in mind,turned out my problem was just set up related Neck shim and wee bit juggling with the 2 truss rods and it was good to go.Only I never put it up for sale I'll never be proficient on 6's but for £60 it's well worth keeping around. How does it work posting basses that cost below £180 but would normally cost a lot more ?

Congratulations on the go-ahead from the Boss and the shylocks.

That's a damn good week by anyone's standard. Be a shame not to go for the circus.

Or maybe the bands were just crap? Age ain't got much to do with it,there are a lot of us older folk enjoy going to Rebellion every year. Just don't pogo too much.

I was just thinking as Thomann scrap whole consignments due to X amount of basses failing spot checks the " on request " could be basses from batches nearly scrapping levels. Probably no explaining that right

Great minds think alike Rob

Maybe anyone who wants one should go through the check out,they might get lucky and snag one as they appear.

One of the fellas in the HB owners group on TB got one last week and if there was a chance of things going wrong they should have. It was a £40 deko and he never noticed it was a leftie until it arrived. Turns out he's chuffed to bits with it,the deko reason was switches were wired back to front ( off meaning on ) but with him swapping the nut and playing it upside down job's a good'un. Well £40 it'd need to be terrible not to be worth it. Got quite a few HB's myself from £50 basic P bass to £200 odd active thru neck fancy top BZ 4000, no complaints with any of them. PB-50 and JB-75 are both fine basses. Admiral you get 30 days to make up your mind time if it's for you or not,no quibble refund or replace if it's got QC issues and 3 years warranty. Kinda hard to go wrong.

Aye the right fella won for a festival crowd. Thankfully it's only 2 "songs", No matter how good or unique the playing any more than 15 minutes of this would bore me to death.I never heard anything I would say was a tune just rap-a-tat-tat,strum,harmonic, rap-a-tat-tat,strum,harmonic and repeat. Good on the lad for entering and winning the show but don't expect me at one of his shows. If Goldilocks had won then a stunt dog was on the cards to win the next season.

Rob It's obvious why it's a deko !! You're Tai Chi markers Yang-Ying rather than Ying-Yang . This being the severest form of anti Feng Shui will cause a bad flow of energy from the battery, Apart from that Good Score

ben4343 I hope I'm wrong but I think any side dots will be centre of the fret like normal,just can't see them using different jigs on basses this cheap. I'll be happy to be wrong on this though. Heard from a guy had battery trouble with the B-650 and another fella who thinks it's great and uses it for recording. Can't comment myself,I've the old Shine 6.

Just reading through and it seems any suggestions I thought of have been said. I've a Curbow,an Ibanez Mikro and the Harley Benton U-bass alike on hand here so can provide any weights or measurements required. Gotta say the mental image of a Lass in a wheelchair playing a big old P bass is pleasant one,brilliant example of spirit overcoming difficultly Well done that lassie.

Natural acoustic deko is up. Sadly it's a leftie PB-20's for £20 too.

Yeah Machines the compromise is lower profit margins and no middle men.

There's no could about it Andy, You're doomed

Absolute belter of a bass. What a good woman Mrs B is, you're a lucky fella in both respects. Hope all 3 of you had a great day.

Impressive stuff and it's given me something to aspire too

One of the local punk bands did Kelly Marie's " Feels like I'm in love",went down a storm. Mind you it was changed to " Feels like I'm on Drugs "

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1437724438' post='2828451'] Is it wrong that I see that as something to aspire too? [/quote] Of course not but according to the bass hoarding group I'm passed level 5!!! [b][b]21+ Final Stage[/b]. [/b][color=#D0D0D0][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]You made it. You are the happiest of the hoarders. You no longer deny or try to mask your disorder. Your attitude has evolved to the point of -what the ****!- “I am a hoarder, so what?!” You snicker at the noobs posting how many basses they have and scoff at their attempts to attain approval and otherwise normalize their behavior. You rarely respond to posts involving these matters unless it is to set someone straight on the matter, and you end your posts with an exclamation mark.[/font][/color]

I know what you mean Rob. There one fella has about 6 Was,they look perfect . If you fancy joining the hoarding group you'll be welcome. If it makes you feel better one hoarder has 167 basses,gotta be a record

Rob I joined the Bass Hoarding Personality Disorder group over on TB. It's been a great help,as things here grew my fellow sufferers were there to support me in a guilt-free manner.

Very nice. Tune Japan did something similar mid 80s with one of the fretless Bass Maniacs then Washburn a couple of years later. [attachment=197035:Tune_fretless_Bass.jpg][attachment=197036:cat_1987washburn_page08.jpg] Only ever heard good things about Godin but prefer the 3 octave fingerboard on the Tune.

I think I can guess at which " expert " Jon. There's a strange inability to accept being wrong with some Washburn owners.They just ignore answers till they get the one they want They posted a photo of the burst headstock sayiing B-200 but as you rightly point out with Washburn nothing's set in stone. As always I'm happy to have been corrected, I'll take your word over the other fella every time. In the case of this Washburn looks like nobody wants it,been on eBay over a year easy.

Can't have that AT !! I'll send some positive thinking waves to Germany on your behalf
