These seem to go on sale once a year for half price, they're usually around £100 but down to £50. I picked one up a few years ago and it's a great lightweight but sturdy bag for a nice price, basically the same as their Transit bag: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gator-Pro-Go-X-Series-Gig-Bag-for-Bass-Guitars/2SSL

I'm stealing this!

Ibanez used value always tanks a fair bit as well, your only other sub £200 options are off brand stuff, the odd Shine and the Harley Benton (which is super cheap) so this is probably a great deal for someone wanting a cheap 6er.

The £160 it reached is probably about right for a £300 Ibanez marked as collection only. The seller listed it last month and it only reached £104. It had sold for £185 but was relisted as the buyer rightly assumed it included free postage.

A 5 string Korean Legend sold on eBay near me for £103 the other week, had to stop myself from buying it just because it was cheap.

I thought that but when you compare it to one the only similarity is the F holes really, did remind me of one though. The horn shapes and. err. rear end protrusion are more like a Ken Smith BSR to my eyes. Shame Tanglewood never did that one in fretless and kept the entire Warrior line to 4 strings only IIRC.

Depends how much you want to spend and what size (if any) hole you want to make in the sides. Easiest way would be to use something like a Headway HE5, not the cheapest but does the job with minimal modifications: https://www.headwaymusicaudio.com/product/he4-ab-feq-acoustic-bass-baritone-guitar/

Tanglewood Warriors have been going down in price over the years, seen a few go for sub £100. The Warrior I is a Warwick Corvette clone with JJ pickups and the Warrior II is a Thumb clone with a single MM pickup. The Warrior 3 is the most interesting as it has an original shape and f-holes: One went for £80 last month, normal price is £120 - £200: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tanglewood-Warrior-3-FH-Bass-Guitar-Transluscent-Green-Relist-due-to-timewaster-/185125600048?hash=item2b1a587b30%3Ag%3ANhgAAOSwkEdhXFcO&nma=true&si=xcdkfYLg3Jf2in%2FQSCIic1WvPj4%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Crikey that's amazing! Just out of interest how much did you sell that 5er for?

When I had to move to 5 strings I had a new baby and had just moved house so money was tight, I bought an Ibanez EDB555 but didn't get on with it so bought that Cort and a £60 Shine 5er (actually a fancy amber quilt thing, looked pretty sweet) as backup. Was playing weddings with two basses totalling £150 and nobody was any the wiser!

Another cheapy worth grabbing is the old Korean Cort C4p, they have a Fishman piezo bridge and really tight build quality despite looking rather plain. I picked one up for £90 and still use it as my backup bass, albeit with a regular bridge due to the original preamp failing. Last one I saw on eBay went for under £200.

That Uberhorn is the best looking bass on this forum! The HKs were made in Korea and sold by a German importer, the original company is still making basses but unfortunately no longer that particular model. There were a few of the Marleaux copies on eBay many years back then they disappeared, this is the original builder (KHL): http://wolfguitars3.com

Yeah I regret not buying the one near me, I had a quick play of it and it felt great. From what I can gather there's a lot of variation in the tops. The HK Custom basses from Germany had a similar vibe to those Vintage ones, wish I'd have grabbed one when they were floating around on eBay for £350, basically a straight ripoff of a Marleaux Consat!:

Vintage V1004SP and V1004DX (replace the 4 with a 5 for the 5er obviously) great basses with through necks and spalted or greatly figured tops which vary a fair bit between examples. Was a stunning 5er in my local Money Traders a few years ago for £250, the top looked like it belonged on a £2k bass it was so striking, like a Marleux for paper round money. A 4 and a 5 on eBay at the moment for low money, tops are nice but not amazing though: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324941670573?hash=item4ba80868ad:g:mXAAAOSwll5hudQP https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334242615066?hash=item4dd2698f1a:g:pyQAAOSwvhthq5t1

Part of the problem with this bass is that as far as Wals go this isn't a particularly nice looking example. Also if you're asking for £7k+ then why wouldn't you run a cloth over it to get rid of dust before taking the pictures?

Could try your hand at applying a new veneer? The poster @apaput one on his Sue Ryder using an iron in this thread but the pics are gone: If my memory serves me (and probably it doesn't, I'm old now) he went through the process in detail.

People are still buying Clapton albums?

If you're going to play it then it's worth the money really. Otherwise nobody would ever buy custom basses! There's been a 30" scale fretless listed on eBay/FB for a while, think the builder is on here (it's cheaper on FB though): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165230310054?hash=item26787e72a6:g:WQAAAOSwb3RhAYK

Never knew what the original fallout was about so now BC has officially won can someone spill the dirt please?

Looking good, Gibson's own faded satin finishes look really nice IMO. A pal of mine has one of the SGs he picked up cheap and I prefer that to most of their regular finishes.

I this was a righty I'd be tempted.

Male and female gos will hunt the same prey. Both will take rabbits and pink torpedo pheasants which are pretty much the largest prey species for wild birds. Females will sometimes take hares as trained birds but avoid them in the wild. The sexual dimorphism in birds of prey is thought to be due to females spending longer on the nest and larger size is advantageous for keeping eggs warm and increased strength is beneficial for defending them. There's also some literature that shows prey items when birds are paired up and raising young may be more varied but by and large they hunt the same animals. I have a relative they has flown these birds all his life until recently, he has hybrid falcons now. EDIT As if the swear filter has blocked out "c0ck pheasants"!

All of this is pretty much irrelevant to the central point, which is to do with language and how some turns of phrase we may have been using without thinking about them seem quite sh1tty in the cold light of day. It is also markedly incorrect, as an aside if you want to look into human evolution and the roles of women then you may find it's far more complex and balanced than the simplified "man provide, woman breed" example you gave above. One Million Years BC is not a documentary, men weren't the heroic, prolific mammoth hunters and women weren't restricted to staying at home. Reviews of hunter-gather burials (which were all previously assumed to be male) have shown that 30-50% were most likely female.

You seem to be aligning smaller build with weakness or an inability to complete certain tasks. This is incorrect, just as a male goshawk is perfectly capable of hunting much larger and stronger animals than itself despite being substantially smaller and less powerful than its female counterpart. In a similar way Petersons assignment of specific gender roles and attitudes towards women is equally nonsensical and absolutely stems from his religious views. This is learned behaviour and in no way innate, Peterson himself is a classic example of this. Also wait a minute, the recent Reclaim the Night Protests were about what now? Are you being deliberately stupid and creepy here or just trolling? If you are being serious that is an amazingly tone deaf take particularly given the thread you are posting in, although it would explain the Peterson thing. The example you chose to use is one which basically outlines how we should 100% be looking into how we raise boys, how to identify/change certain patterns of behaviour and shows how much work we still have to do as a society in this area. The Sarah Everard case which triggered those protests wasn't due to her being physically overpowered btw, her attacker used his police warrant card and handcuffed her.
