  1. It’s a beauty mate - I will get there one day… enjoy
  2. No, nothing stagnates here at least. i look at something, I like the look of it, i buy it. if it doesn’t work out, or I have to start throwing £100s to mod it and make it right - I move it on. in this case, I have a few basses that do the same job. It’s lovely - so someone else may as well enjoy it. It doesn’t have to make sense really, even though it does. I’ll never understand people with rooms full of basses in cases, but - more power to them; if that’s their thing.
  3. Big fan of their earlier work. And while there’s a “guitar” band selling out stadiums, it gives another opportunity for the next big thing. I love RHCP and Level 42, I’m no stranger to derision when it comes to my favourite bands 😉
  4. Yeah really is very vivid - very cool. And impossible to photograph - so much better in person.
  5. We’ve bought and sold each other stuff before. Lovely bloke, loads of time for him. I managed to stumble across his dream bass from 20 years ago - I knew he was looking and sold it him. Happy Christmas mate xx
  6. I play about an hour a day on days where I’m not recording/rehearsing. Its been here for 3/4 weeks, so…yeah. It has been played. not gigged or rehearsed as singer then guitarist have had covid.
  7. Ah Bri…that’s a beauty. Cool cool basses. i shall have an 1100s again no doubt.
  8. No bass can make my hands work as well as I expect them to…
  9. The coming together, I can get on board with… Fire? Kinky… Pitch forks? I’m not into that…sorry. 😉
  10. Give me chance - about 4-6 months is usual turnaround 😉🤦🏻‍♂️😂
  11. i blame @PatrickJ “sell all your other basses - you've found the one”
  12. I had one for a short while. Was really blummin nice…but I have an aversion to all black “metal” looking basses. Silly really.
  13. 1986, Japanese, rare as rocking horse poop. Acquisitions mean it’s clear out time…not every day you accidentally buy a musicman sabre. I say accidentally… Anyhow, this bass is special. Identical to that of Tony Kanal’s “Tragic Kingdom” bass Its in very good condition for its 35 years, some buckle pressure marks on the back and tarnishing to the gold hardware. Will come in a TKL padded Gibson Bag - and will have spare pickup surrounds and a few other golden yamaha bits. I’ll get some stick for listing this - and all those who’ll give me stick will know that I just don’t hang on to gear. wearing played in GHS boomers…still a bit of life left in them… collection is preferred, but I would ship at buyers risk and cost - I suspect due to value it might be about £45. £925 NYE price drop
  14. Bought as “unused since the day it was bought”. Stands to reason its in 9.9/10 condition. One tiny mark on the back - I didn’t spot it so it may have happened in my ownership. I have swapped the bridge pickup for a Fender noiseless vintage model, when I surveyed others experiences of Aerodyne basses, the main comment was that the solo’ed bridge pickup was noisy. I also don’t feel much towards the stock chrome strat type knobs, so got some Fender pure vintage jazz knobs. All original parts will be in the deal - pickup was de-soldered at the pot, not just randomly hacked out… Also on the way is a padded fender bag as it came with the original box and nothing else… wearing brand new d’addario 45-100’s. I will include the (still ok) fender strings. Sounds warm, very clean. Collection is preferred as I’d hate a courier to have a pop at something so “new”. but shipping can be done at risk and cost. Sent a bass today £35 unsured in UK.
  15. The bb1600 has a more “shouldered” feeling neck, it’s a tiny bit chunkier - but not in an unpleasant way. Very much like the 1985 bb1100 I had. The 414 is slimmer and shallower like a flattened C shape - they reverted to the deeper feel on the 424… the body shapes are pretty much identical - slight variation on the treble cutout - about 5mm deeper on the older 80’s BB’s. The bb300 when I was a kid was a mega early Japanese one with the really shallow treble horn cut out. I don’t get involved in measuring necks/string spacing etc - I either get into a bass or I don’t, I never buy something just because of string spacing/nut etc. 😉
  16. Think so. Something like that anyhow. Think it’s when I told them a rebadged Squier strat wasn’t a £1000 American standard strat… bless. 😂
