Great. Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I never thought of buying one from Thomann. That would be ideal.

Yeah, and you can always tell people you killed it yourself. 😂

Well the listing has ended so I'm guessing you're actually serious. 😂 It's actually so ugly it's kind of beautiful.

I'm sure you're right. But as any search on here inevitably brings up about sixty thirteen bubzillion hits then getting the info you want is not always easy. Anyhow, I'm sure pretty much every subject under the sun has been covered on here at one time or another. If people don't post just because a subject may have been covered before it wouldn't be much of an active forum now would it?

Great write up. Thanks. Love the single too.

Yeah that's a good point. I was looking at UK based ones but they're more expensive. Probably just the same Chinese ones imported with the middle man's cut tacked on. The one I posted the link to is in Germany and I'm based in Bulgaria so that's probably the best bet. Getting anything through customs here from China can be an absolute nightmare.

Yeah I'd love to see a picture of the finished article. Cheers.

I've been looking at some of the self build threads on here and the workmanship is absolutely superb. Unfortunately I'm not that talented (or at all talented ) when it comes to woodworking. So I've been looking at a couple of the self build kits on eBay and I was wondering if anyone had bought / built one. Now obviously I'm not expecting it to turn out like a top of the range custom. The hardware and pups are obviously going to leave a lot to be desired. But I figured it's a good way of learning how to put a bass together and how everything works without worrying about cocking it up because they're dirt cheap. Any thoughts? This is the kind of thing I'm looking at, but they do several different styles. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.de%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312030024212

Holy Hell! It's like someone built a bass especially for the elephant man.

I have to show my wife this thread. She's on one coz I want to buy my third. Nice work chaps. Keep going. 😉

They'll clear your estuaries. No....... Hang on......... That's not right.

I've been looking at, and quite tempted by the Revelation myself as I'm specifically looking for a E to E guitar tuned 6. What do you reckon to it?

Looks superb.

Now you just need a long black wig to bring back "the look". 😋

Looks great. I really fancy a Jaguar, but it will have to be a Squier because I'm cheap.

£65 for a week and a halfs work! What's he like at gardening?

I'm not going to offer medical advice. I'm sure you already have all that. But here's how I (at least try to) approach life. If you ain't enjoying it, you're doing it wrong. If gigging stresses you out, don't do it. If you find it enjoyable then it's the best medicine in the world. ( Feel free to replace "gigging" with any other activity) Life is very short and you only get one shot. Might as well enjoy the ride.

I love Gibson guitars. Les Paul's especially. But I just don't think they look right as basses. Especially the SG types. They're just plain ugly. The Thunderbird, love it or hate it, is at least "different" and to me looks really cool.

I'm a Yorkshireman. £65 is expensive for a bass! 😂

Looks ace. I'm a big fan of shorties but I've never played anything that short. Great sound.

Sounds like every freeform jazz band I've ever seen.

Ah that's me buggered then. It's a 6 paddle. I'm useless with anything more than a 4 paddle. 😂
