I can remember looking for one of these when I was 15 and a big Nirvana fan, loads of them had the beaky bit of the headstock snapped off in fact IIRC one of Krist's was snapped here too. Weirdly most you see nowadays have a complete headstock. Ended up settling for an RD Artist instead.

Probably quieter than expected?

To be fair it doesn't have the widespread appeal of the two we currently do, our guitarist is the one who keeps suggesting it not me! Annoying that the bassist doesn't bother to play along on 99% of the official video as she's a really good player. Toured with Sting, Wayne Shorter and the B52s according to her wiki. The only Xmas songs which guarantee a full dancefloor for us have been Mariah and Slade.

Slade and Mariah for us, Fairytale is my least favourite Xmas song to play. This one has the most interesting bassline though:

No way would I be doing that gig unless there was a suitable fee involved. The only choice would be to tell them now or on January 1st which would depend entirely on how petty I was feeling.

Like the green one tbh, what is it?

That's even brighter than I remember, should come with a warning! My little Leopard Gecko died a few years ago, never knew her age (she had two owners before us) but she was at least 19. Got a Coleonyx Elegans who is a great little guy and a pair or Ambystoma Opacum now.

Any pics? That thing was nuts (in a good way!) Do you still have lizards btw?

The question was answered by a moderator in the first reply, pretty sure the OP got the info he needed.

Warmoth did dinky little bodies didn't they?

Ask the seller if he has the leftover bass neck and strat body going spare!

Bit of an odd one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ba-55-5-String-Bass-Guitar-short-scale-partscaster-style-eccentric-funky/254450366052?hash=item3b3e6c7664:g:CzoAAOSwLABd8Nzs At last a genuine reason for splaying the tuners, there's no other way they would fit!

Tried to pick the book up but the edges were sharp against my hands then the binding started to unravel.

If you have a big gig coming up then ask your local music shop if they have amps you can hire or scout local selling pages for a cheap old combo, will buy you some time and take the pressure off at least.

It would explain the woodwork, probably carved the whole thing with a shiv made from a toothbrush handle and a safety razor.

Careful, if you say the R word out loud in front of the mirror 3 times John Hall appears and files a petty lawsuit against you.

Although those pickup routs are making me hungry:

Genuinely lost for words with this one, where would you start? Whoever made it either has some very blunt tools or a very sharp spoon.

That was one of the things I always found really jarring with his basses, how long would it have taken him to make a template or even just to measure them properly? I know you're meant to finish them yourself which is fine but having wonky holes makes getting a good looking bass near impossible no matter what you do to it. I would add that I do like some Wishbasses and think the ethos behind them is sound (ie you and the fella both kinda make a bass in two separate stages) but this one? Bleurgh!

Let us know how you get on with the BAM200, was looking at that recently but the lack of a Speakon socket put me off. Bax have it for £105 which is nuts, tempting to just pick one up for the sake of it!

As well it should being essentially a Squier Classic Vibe!

I get the feeling that IEMs would be far more beneficial than you realise, those small stages where everything is a compromise become the same as any other gig. I do a wide range of gigs and the biggest difference for me is on small stages, certainly those ones where you are crammed in a corner next to an obnoxiously loud drummer.

Friend of mine recently picked up a Blackstar HT5RH Blonde amp setup from Guitar Guitar, sold out now but it was £299: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/191122351430008--blackstar-ht-5rh-blonde-package-with-1x12-cabinet?fbclid=IwAR0ArX4hyydWmAtKlVjptKmYbZJfYFr6juAuEBj6aCApH2x0-PTBot62QMU They do it in a combo version too, a step up from the HT1 for not much more money (difference was £30 when he bought it). He absolutely loves it and says it's the nicest amp he's had for home use (he doesn't gig at the moment) and also has the advantage of looking pretty neat so no complaints from the wife. The one GG were selling is the MkI and contrary to the description it doesn't have the 0.5w/5w switch.
