    Zombie thread: just bought one of these 😂

    Well, there’s a “message Trav” option…I’m booking a courier for the white one to collect Monday…the red one could be with you on Tuesday. I’ve got boxes and bubble wrap everywhere 😂😉

    Having a nightmare getting an old bass back… it’s in South Wales, guy won’t trust couriers… my man and van can’t do it. really stuck. It’s a 4 hour drive for me each way. is anyone near who would be amenable to collect - and wait for a courier to collect? happy to ship boxes etc and packing materials. I just can’t drag the kids out for 8 hours in the car without a week long holiday being involved…

    About 10 years ago was bottom (they didn’t do a 224x) - equivalent model is 434 these days. White is sold. Red still available

    Just sat messaging @bagsieblue welling up, some amazing stories. “Kermit” the bright metallic green Ford Ka, covered in bird poop. And the subsequent revolving door of Mini’s - had nowt but trouble with them, but kept on buying them! Nearly bought mine actually 😂 Our last deal was a few months ago - he came to my rehearsal space, the sat nav took him to a separate car park…he was rarely late. Phone rings… ”Andy. Martin…er…anybody home?” He really was a bloody great bloke. The world is going to be a bit less fun. Mrs T has just relayed a story - he was finishing his shift one evening and popped by Iris’ ward - “hiya Mrs T, do you need anything from the shop before I get off” - just a brilliant person. He didn’t have to do that. Humpf. Really sad.

    Will miss this ”MB1 😎 - Local Bump…”

    FFS! Martin and I go back about 10 years!! We bought and sold each other so much gear it was a borderline joke. When we had our youngest in hospital (Martin was a hospital Porter), he was there - and brought his left field humour to keep us going - he checked in with Jen and I as well as saying hello to family and the kids. “I’m yer dads mate…I buy all the bass stuff he regrets” 😂 What a bloody awful shame. gutted.

    Yeah. But they also elected to make the 424/1024/2024 in black/burst/white - so from a minor distance the £400/£800 and £2000 model all looked the same… They get so much right, and so much wrong. the Pacifica guitars get some weird and wonderful colours/flame tops etc… bass land…Nope.

    No 5 strings 👍🏼
  10. AndyTravis
    Yeah - as Luke says, 350f
  11. AndyTravis
    This is honestly where I’m at (sorry @lee650) just, a dream. 1/3 jazz 1/3 precision 1/3 stingray so, I have to finish the project this one is Lee’s fretless with the neck @Andyjr1515did for me, which means on Wednesday it’s back to fretless and gone 😩

    Sold

    Well, I have more BB’s than sense. One is in bits and need finishing. One is seeing all the action. One hasn’t arrived. After a huge voyage of discovery… Reverse p/j is the right way for me - so. Here we go. both have upgraded Gotoh Bridges. Both have brand new Fender 45-100 strings. white one has some very minor marks - impossible to photograph some swirls on Pickguard. red one is super clean. has an Armadillo basic bag. both 9.5lbs Both have yamaha black knobs - they look and feel better, are lighter and fill the control plate out a bit more than the metal ones. shipping with Parcelforce is £25 in UK. man and van courier £50 in UK. Paypal gift if I know you (ie - you’re a regular) Bank Transfer or PayPal Goods - you cover fees if I don’t know you. Cash on collection from Manchester (M27) £350 per bass only interested in trades via PM, but in all honesty, it’d have to be a reverse P with a J bridge unit - or would trade 2 basses toward a sunburst Roadworn 50’s Precision with a bit from me or a 50’s classic in sunburst as a straight swap. EDIT - WHITE IS SOLD EDIT 2 Red is sold

    So after much deliberation, the reverse P/J is definitely the one for me. Orange 414 is staying. White and Red 424x will be listed shortly.
  14. AndyTravis
    That’s the one I had. The Knobs are non original and under the E at the bridge, there’s a little mark from string pull through. I nearly pressed “buy” last night, but I know the body shape wouldn’t work for me. And I’m in pursuit of another reverse P/J BB which I used to own 😂
  15. AndyTravis
    Aww no. I hope your health improves/stabilises. An Aria Sinsonido bass might allow you to keep your hand in? they weigh about 2lbs, but are still full scale and have a wire frame body to sit and play x
  16. AndyTravis
    It has 5 strings…y u no listen? 🥴
  17. AndyTravis
    Well, it’ll want a new machinehead as he’s put a chrome one on. and I’d say it’ll want a clean/setup. if he’s willing to drop to me in Manchester, I can hold/pack for shipping. or use that man and van guy to collect that walshy put me on to - would be £50/£60 to your door
  18. AndyTravis
    If it needs £100-£200 worth of TLC from a luthier - it’s still a steal.
  19. AndyTravis
    This is STILL for sale. And is now mega cheap… https://www.facebook.com/groups/221497831379044/permalink/2039073382954804/?sale_post_id=2039073382954804

    “How excited are you about winning this!” “By the sounds of it, not as much as you.” or something like that. he’s a slippery bugger.
  21. AndyTravis
    The reverse p/j is exactly the sound in my head… it’s a bit of everything. This is the fretted neck @Andyjr1515 did for me - wonderful. On the body of the drunken eBay fretless purchase. Alas, it’s non permanent as the fretless body and neck are to be reunited shortly when I drop it to @lee650 (I did tell him I’d be doing this…)

    I have
  24. AndyTravis
    Pile of shite. Twang guitars think old=valuable. Not always the case. it’s a turd mick and glad you’ve walked.
