    Just to let you know, I am in fact your eldest daughter... when can I have my bass please?
  2. binky_bass
    A new one that just arrived an hour ago that will most definitely never be sold!

    Pete looks like he's been relic'd.

    Among a few others, I will never sell Binky or my USA Conklin 8. They are simply the best instruments I have ever seen/heard/owned.

    Utter porn. This with that Zon you had would be a treat for the ears! Shame that Zon is currently being re-sold for 3k.

    Boil it up for a few hours, I'm sure it'll come out just fine.

    Cats and basses don't mix. In fact cats don't mix with anything. I've tried. I blended one once and all the catty bits just floated to the surface.

    As I say, stunning can go either way! Fully appreciate this is a Marmite bass!

    Then you sir have no love for cars!

    Arguably 'Stunning' doesn't necessarily imply the positive, something can be stunningly terrible! But, which ever way you choose to slice it, this bass is quite stunning! Be you in the positively so or negatively so camp! (If you're in the negatively so camp then I'll see you behind the bike sheds at lunch break for a fight).

    Get back in your 'Jaco only needed 4' box! 😜

    You can but ask him! Drop him a message, I'm sure he'd be able to let you know.

    For me, I can't stand 'standard', the world is a glorious place with so much on offer, why have the same as everyone else? To those that prefer a Fender, cool, no problem! For me - I like something with more identity. This bass creates a conversation that highlights our differences, none of which are wrong, they are just the subtlies that make us an individual. I must say I enjoy the fact this bass causes a conflict of opinion, a Fender would rarely if ever really do that. An instrument can be art in itself, not just a tool to make art, and this is what I love about it. You can say you don't personally like it, and that is absolutely fine, but you can't deny that it can be considered a piece of art in itself!

    The body shape is quite unique, it's purposefully focuses for ergonomics so it is that shape for a reason - obviously I like the shape but I can understand why some might not! Buckeye - again one of those love or hate woods, I love the colour an complexity of the wood, but again, can absolutely see it not being everyone's taste!

    Personal taste is of course so utterly subjective - for me this is a simply stunning instrument, and an example of real master craftsmanship. It's definitely a polarising body shape and buckeye is quite often a marmite top wood so definitely not for everyone! The world would be a bland place if we all liked the same things!

    No LEDs, just the natural sheen of the resin!

    @PlungerModerno You sir win 10 points. Flame Ash it is! @Ian McFly You sir are entitled to your opinion, but in this case your opinion is wrong! 😜

    So this utterly outstanding build by a certain Mr Cringean is just awaiting final set up before being sent over to me, and dear god it looks simply stunning! I mean the word stunning doesn't do it justice, a new word needs to be invented to describe such glory.. 'Stuntacious', 'Fanmazeic', 'Awestastaciousic'? I know (as most of us do) how well an ACG plays, so I'm confident this will be such a good bass to hold and play - but to look at... it's on another level. It's almost pornographic! In the words of Zoolander, it's just so ridiculously, ridiculously good looking.

    Evening all, I just picked up the little cheap but surprisingly well made strat in partial trade. Its a J&D Strat in Vintage Red. These are about £120 new and this is pretty much unmarked, I've just given it a good clean and a minor set up, everything works perfectly and the action is nice and low. The neck is maple and the body is alder, the pickups are Wilkinson and the strings are GHS Dave Gilmour. I'll even lob in a gig bag too! All for a mere £69 collected. Add £15 for postage. Happy for you to collect socially distanced from Basildon, Essex or as mentioned I can post for £15 extra. Any questions, just ask!

    So what you are saying is you hate everyone and are on the verge of hulking out whereby you will then 'hulk smash' the country into the ground and all those you hate along with it? 😋

    Nope, all women only like shoes, handbags and children and all men are terrible pigs that think all womens only like shoes, handbags and children. True fact. 👍

    Luckily for me my bass doesn't mind me having multiple wives.
  24. binky_bass
    FAR nicer than the Nitti. Good choice sir!

    Hi all, I'm selling this rather lovely Cort NDX20 Electro-Acoustic. It is in immaculate condition and has just been re-strung with a set of Martin Lights. The stock black plastic tuning pegs have been replaced with a set of very nice Ebony tuners, the plastic stock bridge pins have been replaced with Ebony pins with Abalone dot inlays and the stock plastic nut and saddle have been replaced with bone. The action is really nice and low (I'm a real stickler for a low action!) and the guitar plays superbly. It has a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides with a Rosewood and Abalone rosette. The original hang tags are still on the guitar and I really can't see any wear anywhere! The spruce top has some very nice light figuring and the mahogany on the rear and sides looks great. The guitar will come with a Takemine faux-leather hard case, it's a really nice case! A good £130 new. The guitar still retails for £380, with about £50 or so of upgrades, so I think £280 for an immaculate upgraded guitar with an expensive case is very fair. I can post via 48hr post for an extra £15 (uninsured and at your risk, or happy to post via any method you want for extra cost). You're also welcome to collect from Basildon, Essex, though I will insist on strict social distancing, so apologies that you won't be able to come inside, but you can give it a strum on the doorstep! Any questions, please ask!
