I think it's a Status Quo bass because you'd have to be snorting coke to buy it.

I think that's a work of art. Absolutely stunning.

It's not an "or" situation. 😆.

There's quite a few of these style basses knocking around. They're a combination of fretless and fretted. Because.......... Why take two bottles into the shower. I believe they're switchable between the fretless only section, the fretted only section, or both section at once. They actually make a lot of sense if you play a set with a lot of swapping around between fretted and fretless, but they do look utterly ridiculous!

Like this? 😁

I'll take it at the higher price. Don't want to be a cheapskate.

Straight out of From Dusk Till Dawn. 😆

Again, I quite like them. But the brightly coloured ones look like children's toys.

Gorgeous!

Yup. Probably. I like interesting looking basses, either in natural wood or a colour wash with the grain still showing. I can't stand anything brightly painted or Fender shaped. I'm still trying, and failing, to get over the trauma of my first bass. A gloss black Fender clone with action so high you could hang your washing from it.

They're great! Other than the bottom one, I'd happily play any of them. Plus the third one doubles as a bottle opener. Win win!

Well, after almost 3 years I've just sold the Wharfdale cabs for pretty much what I paid for them. Not because they weren't great, but because I couldn't resist the absolute bargain Ashdowns from Musik Productiv. So I've now gone with a more lightweight two 1x12 setup. As for the Wharfdales, they've been absolutely bullet proof. I've gigged them several times as well as used then for weekly practice for almost 3 years. They always performed and sounded superb. So all in all. Yeah I've been pretty pleased with my "cheap" Wharfdale cabs. Hopefully the new owner will have many years of Good usage out of them as well.

Even better. At that price, if anyone is insane enough to buy it, you just order one directly from Thomann and drop ship directly to the buyer. Easy £900 profit.

Sid Viscous. He's the only famous musician I can think of who's a worse bass player than me.

Is this guy on glue? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Harley-Benton-bass-guitar-BZ-6000-Deluxe-/265311371793?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Harley-Benton-BZ-7000-NT-7-string-bass-guitar-/265311366977?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

I genuinely like all the above. The ugliest basses I've ever seen are standard Fenders. In fact, to be fair I'm not even sure ugly is the right word. They're not interesting enough to be ugly. They're just a massive pile of bland.

Yes. Although I can't remember who. But it was on a different thread. The general consensus was that the Tube had a somewhat warmer tone than the Mosfet. Edit. Maybe it was earlier in this thread, but I'm not reading back through 18 pages. 😆

Gretsch Junior Jet. Superb basses. Cheap as chips, built like tanks, and sound like thunder.

I think you're misunderstand the job title. Don't forget to add roadie and sound engineer. 😆

Same here, and I genuinely love the tone that comes from it.

Thanks everybody. Just need to raise some cash and hope it's still available.

I'm getting terrible deja vu.

I think that would make me a ZX81. 😆
