I think 'Silver Series' were identified by having 'Silver Series' written on the headstock - the silver logo was common to others. I've had a couple and they were nice. One, a Precision, was outstanding - 'the one that got away'.

Has a friend of ours moved to Germany? Sure I saw this name on the headstock: Philips Clertone-Konvertierungen

Yes, stick it down the tube once the seat is off.

What about something like a drum throne stand?

'Open Fire' - yes, destruction by firing squad seems the best fate for such a thing.

Luvverly. Actually I got one of these recently and it sounds pretty much the same as the Luvverly Longhorn but in a different shaped package. Still Short scale, still weighs as much a a fag packet.

The funniest thing about that is I know what I look like, so can imagine quite clearly what it would be like to open a door and find me dressed in just a pair of cowboy boots and a Stetson.😂 In fact, I used to go line dancing, do own a pair of cowboy boots and a hat so could dust it all off and give it a test run... ... on seconds thoughts, maybe not.

Another Tommy Shannon fan here

Ever so very much this ^^ They look like comic book whales to me.

It is surprising the number of plants grown in our gardens that are pretty toxic. Our native Foxglove for one - controlled dosage has been used to treat heart problems for donkeys years but all parts could be toxic if you aren't careful - get a lungful of the dust-like seed and you could have a heart attack. Increasingly common in garden centres is Oleander which is seriously poisonous.

Here's an odd one that is a bit like a cross between ZZ Top and Michael Jackson. Great song to just get into the groove or play around with. If anyone knows of a better quality recording let me know!

Like this! Bit like John Lee Hooker meets the early Rolling Stones.

Can only report back as I have found. I've used Eurosender 4 times for basses - twice within UK twice outside. Once for plants to Eire. Each time the quote was very reasonable - in the case of sending an expensive-ish bass outside the UK it was half the price of anyone else fully insured! DPD held up their end nicely and collected when they were supposed to.

ACDC Girls Got Rhythm and ZZTop Tush, Arrested For Driving While Blind immediately spring to mind but there are plenty more.

It would be amusing to arrange collection and turn up wearing cowboy boots and a stetson, just to see the look on his face.

What bass is it?

This build by @Basvarken In isolation the headstock is great but in the context of it being a Grabbird it is awesome!

We have a winner. BBM. Here are my two - JV Squier and the Maruszczyk Jake 5 that I spec'd out to match.

Here's one

Relisted at £180. If you can live with the narrow string spacing this is just unbelievable value. Someone is clearly mining a new vein of old Peavey Foundations.

Bit beaten up with funky chicken knobs but this must be one of the best vfm out there at the minute? Made in the USA, has the preferred Super Ferrite pups. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Foundation-1992-Bass-Guitar-Black-USED-CONDITION/264678935886?hash=item3da0180d4e:g:ZjkAAOSwyuFeezL9

Is it you that makes the large print books, for the hard of reading?

From the perspective of not being a fan, I guess there could well be several tracks of thiers that I do like but haven't heard because I have never st down and listened to all the stuff. I used to lift share to gigs with the drummer in my late covers band and often on the way home from gigs he felt it his duty to play me Beatles from time to time. Late last year he played me 'I Want You' from Abbey Road which, to my knowledge, I had never heard before. I actually like that a lot

If it is a bass, I'd like to see some stats - weight, width of neck at the nut, spring spacing at the bridge.
