    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Spector-Bass-Legend-4-Classic_W0QQitemZ160350863492"]Spector Legend 4[/url] for BIN of £150. AS they are £455 at GAK and £399 somewhere else (closed the tab now) that seems a reasonable price.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='549363' date='Jul 23 2009, 08:25 PM'] The week I was given this there were 3 jobs identical to mine available in my home town (with no qualified teachers coming forward from previous adverts for those posts) and I'd been approached about the possibility of a bit of friendly 'poaching' of me to one of those jobs! Added to which I was doing school productions and shows using a £2000+ Warwick bass so it was this bass or in the event of damage/loss, a potential insurance claim for a much more expensive Warwick... they bought me this to cure both problems. [/quote] Excellent Now, why did I give up teaching again?

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='549317' date='Jul 23 2009, 07:30 PM']I had this bought for me as a work, retention 'sweetener'.[/quote] I'm obviously in the wrong job. If I'm lucky I get a doughnut now and again! bump

    [quote name='~tl' post='549160' date='Jul 23 2009, 05:02 PM']Drums... believe it or not... [b]Edit:[/b] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumitar"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumitar[/url][/quote] Thanks for that - I was wondering as well! Though my wife likes Roy's hat

    As a thread has just been posted about the London Jazz Festival I was searching YouTube to show some clips to my wife to persuade her that she might want to come along. And on the recent thread about what people play when trying out basses in shops, OldGit mentioned that he played a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=54307&view=findpost&p=538512"]traditional piece[/url]. So I was somewhat surprised to come across this one.. Apologies if it has been posted before.

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='548629' date='Jul 23 2009, 10:14 AM']Hmmm ... sacriligious it may be to say this, but I don't think it's that bad. Given how hard it is to do something genuinely different with the shape of a bass, that's not such a rough effort. A bit "metal" for my tastes, but I can see how that could look good on stage with the right band.[/quote] I would agree with that as far as the Esh goes, but I think that the ebay version is just a little bit too "wrong" for me. But without the Esh beside it who's to say

    [quote name='charic' post='548248' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:24 PM']Bythesea... When mine arrives your welcome to try it out if your nearby![/quote] Cheers Charic - will have to find a reason to come up there now I'm sure I could persuade my boss I need to go on a course or something And I think we should help GK out with his addiction by looking after them for him

    [quote name='silddx' post='548240' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:19 PM']I think I may have learned to speak French Cheers for the supportive messages, I've cheered up nicely Can't seem to find how to remove the ebay listing, it's changed. Any ideas?[/quote] That's great Fort the ebay thing try [url="http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EndingMyAuction&guest=1"]here[/url]. If that fails put the price up to £5k - then if it sells you won't have to worry

    Just put the Esh and the ebay version up side by side. Oh dear....

    [quote name='budget bassist' post='548155' date='Jul 22 2009, 08:37 PM']looks kinda like one of those esh basses that was in BGM a few months back.[/quote] That's the one! [url="http://esh-bass.com/content/view/13/26/lang,en/"]The Poseidon[/url]. Not a Ritter at all

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='547933' date='Jul 22 2009, 06:12 PM']I have a 4 string Ghallus fretless headless on order [/quote] I came very close to being insanely jealous there - but as it won't have a head and is missing a string I shall just be very very jealous.

    [quote name='silddx' post='547977' date='Jul 22 2009, 06:48 PM']I am starting to believe I could live with her [/quote] Great idea - for a few months at least

    I think he might have followed his son's drawing accurately without checking the curves first - almost got there, close to being "right" but not my choice. Maybe he's been looking at too many Ritters.

    Having read through the TB thread from the OP and had another look at Alan's site I can feel the ACG GAS growing rapidly. 5 string fretless Gallus maybe. Still, I have rather a long time to come up with my perfect spec

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='547895' date='Jul 22 2009, 05:51 PM']I suspect there are people 3 times your age crying as they listen. No, I [i]know[/i] it. [/quote] Three times and more!! Great stuff Zoe

    GreeneKing has one of these and will no doubt be along later - but meantime [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=53761"]here's a thread[/url] about it.

    Just picked up a Korg rack tuner from Chris - good guy to deal with.

    [quote name='silddx' post='546526' date='Jul 21 2009, 02:44 PM']Coolest looking bass on ebay is this one [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=330345459550"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=330345459550[/url] [/quote] Can't believe I clicked that link without realising what I would see

    Work of art! Haven't seen any other of his, love the body shaping. Any chance of a full length pic?

    [quote name='PauBass' post='545448' date='Jul 20 2009, 04:38 PM']Has anyone used Mono Straps? [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mono_STRAPPS.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...no_STRAPPS.html[/url] [/quote] No - but I do like the look of them. And the ring is steel so won't break as some of the plastic ones can.
