Ted Theodore Logan, III

Cheers, that hut is my home!! Built it myself! Wouldn't believe I can fit 37 Bass Guitars, 8 cabs, 12 Amps and a roadie in there... I just sleep on the roof like Snoopy, it's not great this time of year... As for the dull finish of the P pup... That's down to me replacing the high end, original one with a cheapy China squire copy... but don't tell anyone... Did my Mum tell you to message me about clearing those leaves?...

What are you trying to do to me, man?!! I WILL withdraw this, you just watch me!!! You think I'm lying?!!!.. Go on, someone else, just push me!!! I'll withdraw this bass so quick it'll make your head spin!!! Nah, cheers for tha love! It is a real gem, as are most Spector instruments but alas, I carry a torch for another... ...my Pete Wentz signature Squier

Ha!! Good man!! I was hoping one of you beautiful bc'ers would “pickup" (no pun intended - but you got one anyway!!) on the irony of a “Fretless-Precision". 10 points to Stub!! And as for it being good for metal, I would say it's better for wood... Much more wood to metal ratio on this bass. You might wanna check out the Kramer plenty of metal there. You're welcome...

I've never understood the use of a distortion pedal for bass guitar... Is it designed to mask sloppy bass playing?... If so, I'm all for it!!! Just kidding dude!! Can't go wrong with MXR, best of luck with the sale

I read “great price" and was hoping to score this for under £50... I might have been a tad optimistic... Seriously though... That IS a MM that's priced to mooove!! GLWTS (that stands for Gluten, Lactose & Wheat Tolerance Suitable)

Ok, so here's one for all you bc'ers that think you're better than the “regular" fretted bass player... (I've got news for you... You ain't!!! Well, maybe you are but your slap tone stinks and leaves much to be desired!!!...) However, in this insane “PC-World" (no affiliation to the “Curry's" franchise) I would not want to rule out any fretted players especially with myself (the incompetent musician I am) falling into said category. So here's a beast of Signature Custom Bass that will blow the proverbial socks off of ANY bass player's hooves... and may even encourage the fretted player to ACTUALLY learn where the notes are on a bass neck without the support of those “oh so convenient" vertical metal strips that they hammer into fingerboards so that bass players can have “one too many" down at the local and still produce a “passable" performance to the eight members of the audience (but mainly to the three who are actually listening). What we have here, I think, is a Gibson Les Paul model... NAH!! I'm just messing... It's a Tony Franklin Signature Custom Model Fretless Precision Bass with passive circuitry, ebony fretboard, three way selection switch, Hipshot tuner, a Tony Franklin Single-Coil Jazz Pickup with Hex Screw Pole Pieces and a Tony Franklin American Split Single-Coil Precision Bass mid pickup. As our good friend Sir David of Dickinson would say... “This IS the REAL deal!" B-E-autiful ebony fingerboard with none of that namby-pamby fret marking business!! “... Err... which note is this..." “Doesn't matter!!! You look BOSS!!" You got Tony's signature pickups there, ya know, both of them!!... The Jazz pickup is extra special and was coated with unicorn dust before being blessed by a Goddess and then lovingly placed into this gorgeous Nitrocellulose finished Fender P Bass body... “Mmmm, Nitrocelluliscious..." It's also got those fancy Hex Screw Pole Pieces and Ceramic Bar Magnets... You know the ones... The middle pickup is also rather special as it's a Tony Franklin American Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup which, rumour has it, Tony Franklin invented whilst showing Jimmy Page how to de-fret his guitar and shred an axe like a real man!!! Apparently Jimmy playing fretless guitar never caught on but at least it birthed the amazing Tony Franklin American Split Single-Coil Precision pickup that is housed in this marvelous instrument today! (Or so I've been told by a mate of Jimmy's... at the pub). For hardware you got an American Vintage Bass Bridge with Steel Barrel Saddles and Fender '70s Vintage-Style Open-Gear with Hipshot Bass Xtender "Drop D" on the E... and no that last part ain't rap lyrics. The neck width is 1.625" at the nut which is synthetic bone (not sure what creature they source that from). You got a 34" modern “C" shaped maple Fender neck, of course with the gorgeous ebony board. None of that fret marker nonsense though you do have side marking dots... Obviously it's a fretless but I reckon you got the equivalent to 22 frets... or is it 21?... I dunno but the length of the board will translate to that of a number of frets that you might find on another instrument that might have frets... Passive circuitry so there's no need to worry about a battery leaking when it's been stored in your temperature and humidity controlled cupboard for fifteen years cos you ain't got the skills to play it... Basically this instrument is the Bee's knees after the Bee has had knee surgery and can now kick a bowling ball over the River Thames and into the window of 10 Downing Street, smashing the plastic cereal bowl that Boris Johnson is slurping his Wheetos from and incidentally covering the ludicrous man in softening cereal and chocolate flavoured milk...*(continued below) This IS a serious player's bass! Everything from it's high spec hardware down to it's Custom electronics and premium choice woods, Fender and Mr Franklin have teamed up to produce a real road warrior that has a build quality and sturdiness that you know was designed to outlast the A.I. war of 2027. Oh and check this quote out from Fender - “In an extra-personalized touch, the neck plate of the Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass is engraved with his signature." If that doesn't improve the sound and overall quality of the instrument and more importantly improve your bass playing tenfold then I don't know what would. I heard that Tony Franklin personally high-fived the guitar tech each time one of his Signature Fender P models was completed. Apparently Tony was between tour dates during this period and spent an unhealthy amount of time at the Fender Factory, much to the concern of many staff members... In case you're wondering who the fudge Tony Franklin is... He's a session bassist dubbed “The Fretless Monster" because he lives in a Bayou in Louisiana, has no skeleton, five tentacles and 58 eyes. He mainly lives on a diet of swamp snake but will occasionally snack on other reptiles including turtles and small alligators. Despite his appearance and peculiar diet he has worked with many great musicians such as David Gilmore, Jimmy Page, Kenny Shepherd and even Whitesnake, though he did try to eat them once... Basically he's good enough for a Fender Custom model and a bunch of great musicians allow him to perform on their tracks, so there ya have it... THIS BASS MUST BE AWESOME!!! The Bass is in MINT condition from New and really has only been used to motivate the partner to say “another bass guitar that you don't play..." Comes with a rather well crafted deluxe Fender locking hardcase that really does look la-di-da. Collection and trial always welcome down in bumpkin town!! Can arrange insured courier or meet part way etc... *(Continued from 7 paragraphs up) Contrary to what you might think, Boris actually congratulates the Bee on it's incredibly powerful and amazingly accurate left foot (yep, wasn't even it's right foot) and offers the Bee a job as his ghost writer for speeches, however the Bee politely declines and they part ways. The next morning Boris is back at number 10, again, eating his Wheetos only this time from a rather haphazardly taped together, broken plastic bowl. He's thinking to himself how amazing that Bee's kick was and how great it's speeches may have been if only it had accepted his offer to be his ghost writer, at that very moment Boris hears a smashing of glass and swooshing of air. A bowling ball comes crashing through the recently replaced window of number 10 and lands directly on top of Boris's already damaged plastic cereal bowl, this time damaging the bowl beyond any means of repair. Boris slowly gets up from his booster chair, wipes some of the milk from his suit jacket and picks off a piece of softening cereal from his left cheek. He walks over to the broken window and leans on it's frame, looking outward through the shattered glass toward the rising sun across the cityscape and over into the endless and unseen horizon. “What speeches that Bee might have written..." He says softly as a small, joyful yet melancholy smile begins to take shape across his face. “C'est la vie", he thinks to himself, “c'est la vie...". Anyway check out the pics below... # Air-horn noise!!!

I can't actually “technically" quote on this as I've never ran a Cliff Richard through the cab but I've been reliably informed that he has a built in output connection that is compatible with most 1/4" inputs... ...and you are correct... 28kg is likened to that of lifting a grain of sand to us Immortal Bass Gods!!! (It is an easy lift for mortals too...)

I've never understood scallops... Either on a plate or on a fretboard... Believe me, I've tried talking to both... Seriously though, that is a beaut' of a MM!! Hope it finds an appreciative new wielder soon!! 👍

WHOA!!! I've never seen such a low G-String!!! Hubba-Hubba, Bibbily-Dibbly-Dibbly-Dibbly, Awhooo!!! (generic panting)

I auditioned for “The Apprentice" but “Lord" Sugar was intimidated by my sales savy and wouldn't allow me on the show so I told him ... “YOU'RE TIRED!!!"... Think I might have got that wrong though...

Hello again you beautiful bc'ers. I'm parting ways with my Bergantino AE410, a beautiful full sounding cabinet that achieves great clarity in the mids whilst providing constant crisp and clear punchy lows... It also has an adjustable tweeter!!... It's really a master cabinet and compliments pretty much any thing you run through it, be it amp, pedal, bass... even Cliff Richard. Some might say that it could even cure the sounds & wrong doings of the most ambitious and untrained guitar luthiers out there... “Cough!!" No names!! ... but seriously, it's a whole lotta cab and it's pretty portable in my opinion... then again, I did used to spar with He-Man & The Master's of the Universe... 💪 It's 28kg so not exactly a one hand lift (though I can do it...) but with recessed handles and the casters fitted it's a very portable full sounding cabinet with no compromise.... “IT'S EXTREMELY LOUD!!!" Unless you don't want it to be... then you just turn your amp volume down and voilà! The Berg AE410 has itself 2 x Neutrik input (speak-on cables) and 2 x 1/4" standard instrument cable inputs at the rear... It's got that adjustable tweeter thingy that I mentioned earlier... It's got fitted casters (with one caster looking a bit Heath Robinson, previous owners work...) and best of all it has 4 x 10" Neo Speakers!!! That be some Matrix shiz! So that's 4 speakers, one for each string... I'm guessing... dunno if this cab would work with a five string as I haven't tried it yet but y'all fivers be more than welcome to come give it a trial... All-in-all it's in fantastic condition and comes with the Berg padded cover for added protection. A few marks on the base of cabinet and the rest is all-round tidy. Always been used with a compressor just to give it a stress free life. Full specs below; AE410 specifications: •4 x 10" Custom Neodymium Driver with 7oz magnet and vented pole pieces •high intelligibility 1" tweeter •custom phase - coherent crossover with tweeter level control •power handling - 800 watts rms •frequency response: 40hz - 18khz •sensitivity: 103db 1 watt/1 meter •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors •impedance: 4 ohms •dimensions: 22 3/4" W x 25 1/2" H x 15 1/2" D - 55.9cm x 64.8cm x 39.4cm •weight: 62lbs/28 Kgs “THAT'S 10!! 10 SPECIFICATIONS!!!..." That one was for all you bc'ers who got love for The Count!! He's a personal inspiration to me, taught me how to count the fret markers on my bass... 3, 5, 9... I means 7...14, 21... Oh wait that's something else... Better dig those old Sesame Street VHS cassettes outta the cupboard... I can arrange delivery and packing at extra cost or happy for a part-way meet (if fuel cost covered) or trial and collection always welcome... But BYOA (bring your own amp) mine is SO bespoke no one is allowed near it!!! only kidding, I shifted it a while ago...
