    I am surprised no-one has mentioned OBBM yet... I went through a phase of making my own but it doesn't really work out much cheaper and his stuff is so much better.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417529708' post='2621382'] My mum used to say, 'Red hat - no knickers'. [/quote] Was that when she was helping you choose your outfit for the day? I'd heard same but 'red shoes'. Either way there must be a lot of ladies around who aren't wearing knickers. Presumably those wearing fur coats, red shoes and matching hat.

    I was mistaken - knobs are the same size except the treble one is smaller. Small dink in rear of headstock shown. Still has plastic on the rear control plate! Some pics.

    hah! Royalty - not quite. Just for showing off - all 'fur coat and no knickers'.

    That would be it. Whole poached salmon in arsepic.

    On hold!

    Incredible value for money - only 4 Euro! Sounds luvverly, too. I remember for dinner parties (how 60s-tastic!) my mum used to do a whole salmon on a platter covered in something that resembled the gloss finish on that bass.

    You need a back up, surely?...........

    I bought this on a whim, now decided to move it on as, realistically, it isn't going to get used and I have GAS for something else. Post all about how it came to be mine here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/247306-wandered-into-pawn-shop-and/page__pid__2593839__st__30#entry2593839"]http://basschat.co.u...30#entry2593839[/url] Long scale, MM style pickup, Active, 3 band eq, quick-fit battery compartment at rear. One knob is bigger than the others - the mids - no idea why but it is actually quite helpful as I think that is the adjustment that makes most difference. Weighs around 9lbs, really good skinny neck. Made in Indonesia in 2011. High volume output and aggressive middy tone but can easily be tamed. Good nick. Slight ding on headtsock, I think that is about it. Famously pimped into a Zulu bass by Nigel. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217816-the-xilddx-zulu-bass-now-finished/page__hl__zulu%20bass"]http://basschat.co.u...hl__zulu%20bass[/url] £90 plus postage, which would be around £15. Or collected from SS7. Happy to meet half way or deliver for fuel within reason. Pics tomorrow. Bank Transfer, Pay Pal gift or cash.

    Moving on my Genz Benz Streamliner 600 as I have finally decided I prefer my TC Electronic head and have just bought a cheaper 'back-up'. I actually prefer the sound of the GB but find the TC easier to use. So - this is used not abused, a few little scuffs here and there. I did the pre-amp valve change to make the gain more usable but will include the originals. One small issue - the blue LED that lights up the inside packed up - a common fault. I was sent replacements but never got around to fitting them - they will be included. The carry bag has the usual fraying around the zip where the layers have separated. Still got the kettle lead. Manual is somewhere safe, which is where I suspect it will remain unless I find it - download online here [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/img/manuals/gb/Streamliner_600_manual.pdf"]http://www.genzbenz...._600_manual.pdf[/url]. I'll take some pictures tomorrow but, well, it is just a Genz Benz Streamliner 600... Plenty of talk on here about them. Here is a link to all the spec from the GB website, pics etc. [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2662&sid=675&cid=95"]http://www.genzbenz....&sid=675&cid=95[/url] £290 posted to UK mainland or £275 collected from SS7. Would meet half way or deliver for fuel costs. Bank transfer or Pay Pal gift. Ta!

    PMd re trades.

    +1000 for Interparcel. Adding insurance up to or slightly above the value of the bass can affect the carriage price a fair bit - difference between a £500 bass and a £150 is a tenner or so - you can have a look at the quote menu at Interparcel website and enter different values to give you an idea.

    An absolute cracker! It is almost luminescent.

    Are they any good for iron-bru?
  15. Paul S
    Thanks for that. Bit smelly, perhaps.

    Goats are cute. How much does this weigh, please?

    [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1417172114' post='2617707'] Are the necks much wider on a five string? [/quote] Very approximately 1/4 as wide again... Some are actually 'reasonably' narrow, but that can make the string spacing a bit tight and not everyone likes that. As has been said - the only way you will find out is to get one and live with it for a while. I tried a cheap one, didn't get on with it. Coupe of years later to cure a particularly strong episode of GAS for a 5er I bought an SGC Nanyo Bass Collection one (SB-315?), which was a great quality instrument at a great price, and still didn't get on with it.

    Also an ad in any rehearsal studios locally wouldn't hurt - even a chat with the guys who run them as they often have an idea of who is doing what.

    [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1416925565' post='2615090'] "was brown & worn" Yeuchh... but as others have noted, it looks like a MusicMan to me. [/quote] At least it wasn't brown and warm.

    [quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1416660302' post='2612386'] I was born in 62 and have already written to the National Lottery asking them to fund a YOB bass [/quote] Cheat, like I did. I was born in '57 and have a '57 re-issue.... its the nearest I'll get. Edit - same stable as Shergold but perhaps Hayman and Ned Callan? They pop up occasionally around £500.

    I saw him do an acoustic set - sometimes with piano player, sometimes not and just on his own - a few weeks ago locally at what would be, for him, a small venue - the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend. Seemed rude not to go when such a big name was playing there, even though I wouldn't call myself a fan by any means. I left the gig feeling I'd seen someone with exceptional talent. He was confident, relaxed, had great vocals, excellent stage presence and managed to put in enough light and shade with just a guitar and piano to make the night fly past. Strangely it was some of my least favourite Bryan Adams tunes that I enjoyed most on the night. I still have no inclination to see him with his band but he has gone up hugely in my estimation. I think if you like the band and the tunes you'll be in for a superb night.

    You can get one for £30 in John Lewis.

    I have a Mighty Mite Jazz neck on my MIJ Precision and it is brilliant. I think they represent excellent value for money and are a direct fit in the neck pocket. Dimensions are about the same as the Squier necks. But none of those particular Fender necks are quite as slim as the Ibanez SR neck, which is exceptionally shallow - my old SR800 had the smallest neck I have ever owner. Of the Fenders I have had/tried only the Geddy Lee, Jaguar or Precision Lyte necks come up as shallow as an SR neck.

    Back from a holiday - but, yes, it was the A that was dead. I've since had a couple more sets and they were all fine.

    SOLD

    Slept on it and decided I have trouble bonding with that colour sunburst. Someone should snap this up, though - these get seriously good reviews and for the money it is a bargain.
