    He is based in the states, but I can't imagine the import/shipping being prohibitively expensive. Fantastic work though.

    Roger made the Bunny tuners for Binky, the Maple/Buckeye/Abalone knobs and the truss rod cover. All unbelievably good work... I think the cost was $450 dollars (I think) for 6 knobs, 10 tuners and the truss cover. For inlay work, Bill Nichols is utterly superb. His work is incredibly detailed and flawless. The 1 foot tall Binky inlay is a masterpiece.

    It has to be a world endingly spectacular deal for me to buy new, the Mesa Rig for example was such a deal. Or a custom bass of which I've had 2 made. Other than that I only ever buy/trade second hand gear. To be fair Binky himself is worth a mention, I paid for that at the time when it was fractionally over $2 to the pound, all in Binky came to a shade under £3000, which is pennies on what he would cost to have made today. With all the work on the inlay courtesy of Bill Nichols and the truss cover and knobs by Roger at THG Knobs as well as Carey Nordstrand himself winding the pickups, the 'new' cost today for a Binky replica would absolutely be a fair bit north of $10,000, not to mention the increase in shipping and taxes because of it. Long live the Bink!

    10 lashes for sounding like a creepy uncle... 😂

    Crap... that was clearly meant for @Newfoundfreedom... 10 self-lashes for me. 😬

    10 lashes for @Woodinblack. I believe that's the correct number of lashes for commenting on the wrong thread. 🤔

    Perfect, send me the 6 string and we'll share the job of burying the evidence!

    I have indeed sir, it is on eBay too... I have already messaged him to discuss, but I am only a trader as I simply don't have £7000 spare!

    Realistically, that KL6 of yours is probably the ONLY bass in this good world that I would even consider trading/selling my Conklin USA 8 for. For me, that says it all! Definitely no sale/trade then? Perhaps a pair of De Gier Elevation 6 basses? 2 for 1!
  11. binky_bass
    Tell me where you live, I'll come cut your fingers off so you have to stop playing, then you can sell the 6 string to me!

    It absolutely amazes me that with the astronomical prices they charge that they wouldn't have a system of serial numbers where what's stamped on the bass/guitar brings up the full details of the instrument at their end. It's literally just a spreadsheet they'd need!

    We all now know to buy from you for a good deal! 😂
  14. binky_bass
    I just bought a second one today 😂
  15. binky_bass
    Bought another B-Social then?

    I bought a Warwick Thumb SC6 for £1000 a few years ago, traded it with @ziggydolphinboy, followed by instantly regretting that trade then spent 3 years trying to get it back, which I eventually did last year! Definitely another 'never leaving me' basses!

    I don't mean to be 'that guy', but are yours not the same as these? https://www.gak.co.uk/en/ld-systems-bp-pocket-2-bodypack-pouch/931839?gclid=CjwKCAjwq832BRA5EiwACvCWsSysSHpqC4Thcs-WUR6vArCX7htneXIFWlpWQmxqijiSrL_C-2e5tRoCDYoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    You're a liar and you know you are!

    You need to get yourself to aldi mate. 9 for £1.99.

    I've had 2 notably good deals from Cash Converters... One was a Warwick Vampyre with 001 serial number, later confirmed by Hans P Wilfer to be the first production Vampyre ever made. Paid £700. The other was a Sei 6 string headless that REALLY needed work as it had no pre-amp and some fret work was needed, but still, paid £350 for that. Sometimes Cash Converters can be worth looking in on!

    Looks very 'Marrakech Blue'. Majorelle Blue I think the technical name is. Or 'Burple' to some...
  22. binky_bass
    I'd rather have the green felt tip...

    Bought another small batch of items from Alan, no problems at all! Everything arrived quickly, everything as described, happy to buy more bits as and when he has more to sell!

    Your Mesa rig looks even more spine destroying than mine! 😂 Speaking of which, that was a good deal... Got my Mesa Strategy Eight:88 and two Mesa Powerhouse cabs brand new in a sale for £2500, the full 'non-sale' price for the whole lot is £6200. Not exactly pennies, but 60% off brand new Mesa gear was fairly decent.

    Hahaha, that's awesome/ridiculous 😂 Great story @ubit
