    +1 for The Bass Gallery. Not visited yet - will put this right in a couple of weeks hopefully. Bought a bass of them recently online which had a problem on arrival and Charlie sorted it all out with minimum of fuss and maximum understanding.

    A mate emailed me this blog from Nigel Forster, a luthier in Hexham, Northumberland, who has had a van-load of beautiful guitars stolen from his workshop http://www.nkforsterguitars.com/blog/guitars-stolen/ Keep your eyes peeled peeps, lets hope we can help catch the barstewards!

    Nice! I might keep an eye out for a fretless version - always hankered after trying a fretless, just never had the courage!

    Just picked up this Bass Collection Pbass off Gungetree It's a real corker and was £90! It's not too heavy, has a slim-ish 40mm neck which I really like and sounds great. An after market loom and a Squier pickup have been fitted An awful lot of bass for the money!

    I think their customer service can be hit and miss, but I sold a bass on commission through them - they got the price we agreed, I got the amount I wanted and it all went through smooth as silk

    Ibanez basses usually have slim necks and are pretty competitive for example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1993-Ibanez-SR800-Soundgear-SDGR-bass-guitar-MIJ-Active-Electronics/232799936045?hash=item3633f51e2d:g:j8YAAOSwXudbG8vG and then there's Cort https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cort-Action-Bass-V-Active-4-String-Bass-Guitar-Red-Wood-Finish/302765575073?hash=item467e3c0ba1:g:HnAAAOSwh79bEoh8 Haven't owned or played either but they generally get good reviews

    Is this an MIJ one?

    Good job you have large pants then! 😃

    You might try letting Bass Direct sell this on commission. I sold my blue one of these through them and got considerably more back after they had taken their 20%.

    Clucking bell.....I think you win the p*ss*ng contest BigRedX 😊 I take my best gear (Mike Lull M4V + EBS amp & Berg 12" cabs). I work on the principle that most will think my bass is a cheap copy (Mike who..?) so it's relatively safe from the grabbit & leggit brigade

    Thanks, that gives me an idea as I had a Sandberg myself which wasn't at all heavy. Does it neck dive at all? I tried a Jap precision once which had an alarming propensity for the headstock to dive towards the floor at any opportunity. Where abouts in South Yorkshire? I live in Nottingham, but work in Hucknall so would be keen to pop round for a try-out one evening if that would be ok?

    Any idea of weight and what's the nut width at the neck?

    Welcome Ian As this is a UK forum you are required to pass a test on knowledge of tea, biscuits, cricket, haggis, welsh cakes, warm beer and moaning about the weather! I see you are in Seattle, the home of my favourite luthier Mike Lull. Having said that the Marco basses look interesting - any UK stockists?
  22. ricksterphil
    Welcome, this is a fantastic forum. Keep away from the Basses for Sale section unless you want to end up thinking about selling a kidney to fund something you're GASSING over!
  23. ricksterphil
    Also excellent stuff! I might be interested in your bass soon, but waiting for someone to buy my T-Bird! I'd also need to think about the 38mm neck - I prefer 40mm Anyway, GLWTS in the meantime
  24. ricksterphil
    Nice bass...and very nice playing!
  25. ricksterphil
    6 pages of chat....Daltrey's PR people know their stuff! Quadraphenia is a work of genius imo...........discuss!
