    An odd body that I picked up on eBay a few years back for a little bit more than I'm selling it for here (I was planning a reclaimed bitsa as the time and this was perfect if a little overpriced)! Got knows what the wood is but it had a lovely feel and a very nice oil finish. I built it up into a fretless with some VERY heavy and very old brass hardware (including a brass pickguard) and it played very nicely and sustained forever. It was also heavier than my cab (it's not an especially light body, I'll weigh it once i have some batteries for my scales). Pretty much standard Fender dimensions re pocket/rout/pickguard/bridge. It's also got that slight flat-C indent at the treble side of the neck pocket that a few old basses seem to have, no idea what/why, but apart from being noticeable, it makes no different to fit/function. I'll dig out the brass hardware also, worked very nicely on this body. Not to everyone's taste for sure

    Sorry, this is I think sold but waiting on payment, looks more 60's than 70's to me but as I've yet to put on a bridge I'm not sure but will check in the morning. Finish appears to be light nitro 👍

    BBC News today described how Wilko, who'd played with the Feelgoods since 1972, enjoyed a four-decade career. I not normally angered by poor maths but today i was. Five decades of honest, take it or leave it, straight ahead gigging. Well done Wilko, hope you and Lee are enjoying a glass or two and a bit of reminiscing this evening 🍻

    Sadly at around the same time I was known as Purdy, although for much the same reason

    i’ve had a think as to whether I agree, and I probably do, at least with the second part 👍

    Funny that, when I posted above about Beatles and cultural influence on essentially white music I was thinking about Kraftwerk’ influence on early hip hop, and especially Afrka Bambaataa’s opinion that without Kraftwerk there’d have been no hip hop.

    Hi mate, long time, it's 4lbs 7oz, really is stupidly lightweight 👍

    Bit harsh on Rubber Soul which I think is far from insipid and actually a pretty consistent album by the standard of their less coherent later offerings (or perhaps pretty safe by the standard of their more experimental later offerings)?

    Despite what I said above, these remain two of the most iconic images from my childhood

    There is something special about Mesa tone, irrespective of format. I've owned a lot of their models from the Bass 400, Buster, Venture, Walkabout, M-Pulse 600, Big Block 750, Titan v12, Prodigy and now, and perhaps my favourite of all, the Carbine M6 (in fact my relationship with Mesa reads more like dating to be honest). The key for me is in their name; 'Mesa Engineering', Mesa gear is just so well designed and so well engineered, not just the circuits, but everything, even the boxes (never drop a Mesa amp or cab unless you're prepared to sacrifice whatever it was you dropped it on, in my case the back end of an Audi estate that received the full force of a 1516 one side of which our singer dropped as we were putting it in the back). Of all the brands I feel a loyalty in music, I pout Mesa at the top, and that's helped a lot by the fact that @agedhorse is always here to advise and support. Frankly if I had £500 to spare I'd be dating that Walkabout 😀
