I live in Horsham, I saw the kid a couple of years ago and he’s pretty handy! Don’t know who he is but very unusual (and pleasant) to see a bass only busker 😊.x

Such a great photo! Lovely to see your lad looking so happy with his bass, long may it continue and I wish him much fun and success in the future x

Think there’s one for sale at bass bros, I’m sure you probably know anyway, yeah they don’t come up for sale very often. All the best jeff

Thanks Dave, yes I was very privileged to have acquired it a while back off of rumblefish on here, mr robin vick . Enjoying the lighter gauge strings on it too .

Just back from Stourbridge town hall where I played with the Phil Collins tribute, lovely old place and the audience and atmosphere were brilliant, decided on the GB Spitfire tonight, put lighter gauge strings on as a bit of an experiment. Had to push the low mids on the Tecamp puma and dial off a bit of the bottom end as it was sounding a bit ‘flubby’ , not tight and punchy how i like it, but after a good sound check everything was fine and nicely cut through as the show went along. My LFSYS Monza was fab as usual. Not very rock’n roll but enjoying a nice cuppa and a couple of bits of toast after a long drive back to West Sussex.

Really enjoying this bass, only had it about 5/6 months ago. Punches WAY above its weight ( and it pretty light) fantastic B string with addario EXL 170’s on it and it’s slightly under 34 inch scale. Best £730 I’ve ever spent i reckon. It just cuts through the mix SO well. I’m a very happy bunny! X

Yamaha Trb mk1 slapcut model with a’dario Es 170 xl high tension strings, and it’s not even a 34 scale, just under.. I’ve lots of high end basses and the only thing comparable are my Wals. But then again…. How long’s a piece of string… good luck with your quest! X

Loved tiger music, brought my Ibanez MC924 from there which I still have to this day. It was up for £450 , it had( has) a slight blemish in the wood/ varnish on the back . I genuinely only had £400 on me and left the shop with my mate feeling really dejected having played and fallen in love with it there and then. We got about 50 yds down Sydney st and the bloke came out and shouted at me to come back as he’d decided to let me have it. I was about 18 and I think he must have felt sorry for me, he obviously saw how I was smitten by it. Lovely guy he was and i think that big beaming smile on that spotty little oiks face must have made his day as much as it made mine! Happy days x

Hope you can acquire one Terry, they are soo good! Best £730 I ever spent!

I’m a TRB convert of 2/3 months having picked up a MK1 5 ‘slapcut’ from Joe geezer on here. Absolutely blown away by it! I think you’ll really enjoy your new acquisition.Nice one! X

A 2x12 should be fine I’d say

An unusual gig this morning at a classic car breakfast meet down in Hampshire with the new funk band and then back home to Horsham to play at kings Lea school fate this afternoon with some old musician friends. Really enjoying my GB Spitfire 5 since it came out back from a service by Bernie recently. Sounds fantastic though the puma and LFsys Monzas . Now to enjoy a nice relaxing evening ( not playing) x😊

Didn’t some of them suffer from warped necks at some point? Maybe it’s one of those?
