I bought one from Adrian Maruszczyk.

Just out of curiosity, which of the heads do you prefer?

Just stop it. I do NOT need the UV light I do NOT need the UV light I do NOT need the UV light I do NOT need the UV light

Might still be in then. Traded one bass, sold another and I sold an amp. 3 out, one in?

I am trading basses - Dean Pace 5 for an acoustic. Straight swap, no money changing hands. Does that mean I am still in or out now?

Huey! Thought it didn't look right when I wrote it.

Was yours a heavy one? Mine was, had to move it on when my back went from 'acute' to 'chronic'. Lovely thing, though.

Think it was. Had a serious overbite and thick knees as I recall.

I seem to remember Kimbara are good quality? Original case, nothing desperately bad wrong with it by the looks of things. Collection only Leicester. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KIMBARA-VINTAGE-1970s-CUSTOM-BASS-GUITAR-NEEDS-TLC/254091935162?hash=item3b290f3dba:g:rHYAAOSwmE5cSLq0:rk:7:pf:0

In my little band we went through a phase of playing a couple of choons that benefitted from the use of a 12 string. Without bloody fail, because it is so funny, guitarist would play the start of that once he'd slung it on.

Jump - Van Halen, Pointer Sisters Best of My Love - Eagles and The Emotions Power of Love - Hughie Lewis, and some drippy 80s ballad.

There was a small piece of time when my little band were considering playing this over the pa this just before we started, just to get folks attention. Then we decided it would rather pretentious nonsense for the Dog and Duck. Love the tune, though.

@hiram.k.hackenbacker has encyclopedic knowledge of such stuff. Warren to the bridge!

I was a late starter! Had my first gig in front of real people in 2008 aged 51. Marconi Social Club in Chelmsford. Band was called 'Still The Thrill', I'd just bought a 'proper' bass - that Hayman 4040 - and was still concentrating hard where to put my fingers. Edit - notice Frankenstein's monster on keys.

Those two basses must be the most pointless custom jobs I have ever seen. What on earth was he thinking?

always get one bigger than you think because it doesn't take long to fillet. Sorry.

Very definitely this. You get a wave of appreciation coming back at you that is nothing remotely like what you get as a pub band. Above all it is immense fun, which is what it is all about. I'm in a Bon Jovi tribute - Just Jovi. For reasons I can't quite still understand we have no professionally shot film yet but this is what we have by way of a demo. (plug - next gig 23rd Feb Leigh Community Centre)

OOh yes! Gonna have to check that out. Delighted to see he is still the showman, still pulling the faces, still got the touch. Thank you.

Well, there you are - do it!

I saw them as support for Black Sabbath 'The End' at the O2 Arena. Fab band! I liked this an awful lot when I first heard it, still do. Seen them a couple of times.

Los Lobos it aint...

The other skill is realising when you've got there, and not selling it on to find something better 😢 Edit - that's what you said. I am a dimwit. I had a beauty - MIJ P bass body, lots of mojo, light as a feather. Mighty Mite maple Jazz neck, Wizard Trad pup, P retro, Hipshot tuners, Hipshot A style bridge.

Best not bought used, either 🤢

And another!
