  1. That's probably my ultimate bass tone right there.
  2. Another vote for the poor old Epiphone Thunderbird from me I'm afraid... Weighed nothing, felt like playing a toy bass. And such a dead tone... I will point out this was one of the reverse models that Epiphone still make today. I had previously owned the non-reverse model, with PJ pickups, and it was a great instrument.

  4. I once bought a BC Rich Ironbird from my local CC... It was up for about £100 odd, but I was concerned with the bow in the neck. The chap in the shop clearly had no idea about guitars, had a bit of a panic and offered it to me for £40. It turned out he had tuned it comically high - once tuned correctly the neck straightened right out! Test the waters, see if the chap in your branch knows his stuff - if not, slyly suggest the bass is junk and see what discount you can get.
  5. I can't watch the video (I'm at work) but Tom used to play a BC Rich Wave bass, and a Hill custom, before switching to ESPs.
  6. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1381001939' post='2233330'] How can you think about music when Susanna Reid is cavorting for your viewing pleasure? Some things are more important than bass , and Susanna is one of those things . [/quote] Agreed. Good god, she's incredible.
  7. To my shame I've never heard Bitches Brew... Time to do something about it. I do love Jack Johnson though, awesome album.
  8. When you say 'no trades' I assume you actually mean 'will trade for Greco Thunderbird'
  9. [quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1380486521' post='2226111'] What about a gherson neck through, twin trussrodded r**********r clone? [/quote] Hmm, interesting...
  10. The Hosepipe Band
  11. [quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1380413859' post='2225061'] I got rid of my DeArmond Starfire. Now we're doing more acoustic gigs in small venues and I'd really like to get it back. [/quote] I had one of those for a while, and miss it dearly...
  12. [quote name='12stringbassist' timestamp='1380472821' post='2225793'] THIS remains my dream.... [/quote]
  13. [quote name='SimonEdward' timestamp='1380468205' post='2225700'] WUM. Can you prove that?!?! [/quote] How can I prove it?
  14. [quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1380474689' post='2225854'] That sounds highly unlikely. They showed considerable enthusiasm about my crappy old Hondo bass when I took it to them, despite it probably being worth many times less than any of the basses they have for sale. [/quote] I'm not lying, I have no personal vendetta against the shop. I'm just reporting my experiences of the place - and they have all been bad. I had an issue with a bass I had purchased from them a few days earlier (weak A string output). The guy asked me what amp I used - Ashdown - and he smirked and said "I think there's your answer". He then asked me which strings I used - Rotosound - and he responded in exactly the same way.
  15. The description doesn't grab me, I prefer P basses with maple necks - but PM some pics if you can!
  16. [quote name='aidanhallbass' timestamp='1380440369' post='2225139'] Hi! Love the bass.. What kind of trades are you interested in? [/quote] Dunno, what you got?
  17. [quote name='SimonEdward' timestamp='1380444624' post='2225184'] If you take my example of String ranges; The Gallery (and loads of others, including on-line) stocks seven brands (or more); which includes a long established British brand: Rotosound), compared to Wunjo's one. [/quote] Funny that, the guy in The Gallery snorted with derision when I told him I used Rotosound...
  18. I've had some requests for the weight - it's 10lb.
  19. John Deacon and Mark Bedford made my ears prick up, then I heard John Entwistle and the top of my head blew off.
  20. 'open to trades' bump.
  21. [quote name='doonaboon' timestamp='1380048763' post='2220153'] Looks stunning, very nice Ben! Had a good think about this as it looks great at a decent price but money and circumstances are against it...good luck with the sale though! Dan [/quote] Cheers mate! You'll be offering me your ACG in a trade next...
  22. Mel Collins! Yes, yes, yes!
