  1. As an aside; I had a ticket to see the Ramones live in Liverpool (1980?) but they cancelled on the day to play this song on TOTP ...... Goodbye girl - Squeeze
  2. Elvis ain’t dead - Scouting for girls
  3. Definitely the 3 - more versatile as Lozz says, and worth very much more - $1500 for a ‘70 model is a hell of a bargain if it’s mainly original and in a playable state Edit - The 3 is the long scale version whereas the 0 is standard short scale, which obviously is also a major factor depending on your preferred scale length
  4. Nice! Moog circuit and original case definitely a plus! Pic proves that these basses are strong enough to support the entire weight of the continent of Africa....
  5. Heaviest production bass I know of, though I'm sure someone will come along in a minute with a heavier one...... What finish version did you get after?
  6. I always keep an eye on Gibson RD Artists on t’bay, being one of my favourite basses (I have 2.....), but this is the first fretless version I’ve ever seen: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-RD-Artist-Bass-Guitar-Natural-73257043-Sherwood-Phoenix/174558863526?hash=item28a484e0a6:g:8TMAAOSw4-Rf12pC Looks to be a factory fretless rather than a mod, and I’m pretty sure the board is ebony (not rosewood as described) as on the fretted sunburst and black RD Artists. Eye-watering price though......
  7. I’ve owned and gigged a good few all-valve heads (‘70’s Orange 100W, Fender Bassman 135, Ampeg SVT-2, Trace TwinValve, and Mesa D-180 - I still have the Mesa mainly as it doubles as a guitar head.....) but has been said many times on this forum; it’s darn hard to beat the valve tone and sheer practicalty of the Mesa Walkabout (a 300W hybrid amp of course). Mine is my go-to head unless I’m playing funk, in which case it’s the Ashdown MK500. Having said that, I’ve never tried the Handbox, heard very good things.
  8. It’s all about the bass - Meghan Trainor (had to make an appearance sometime.....) Oops too late, ignore,.......
  9. Scooby Dooby doo, where are you? - Best Coast (theme from Scooby doo)
  10. Good riddance (Time of your life) - Green Day
  11. Ice cream for crows - Captain Beefheart
