Ah plastic saddles - later, 66? god knows - don’t know gibbo bass half as well as fender.

Aye - nice vocals too. Like that eb3 - looks like a 62/63?

Sorry, replied while at a dinner party In a gazebo while the Manchester “summer” was in full swing. I didn’t think it was smartarsey mate at all. Apologies if my reply seemed terse - was trying to remain interested in the 100th time I’ve heard an anecdote about a 12 hour flight delay to a funeral in Ireland and the hilarious scramble to get there in time to find it was the next day…🙄 My wife tells it well, but even this time she looked pained as Mother in law pushed her to tell it again…

One of them is mine… *COUGH* 😩

Hmm, .5lb variance in 2 bits of alder…🤷🏻‍♂️, both a little heavier than stock due to bridge upgrade…

Greedy that 😉

I’ll play, been a while… Bb424x white 10lbs Bb424x red 9.5lbs bb414 orange 10lbs bb350f white 9.5lbs tune tjx4 - 7.3lbs. and the rest are out of reach so 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

See what I mean about the blue? both are googled images btw, my brother doesn’t take pictures of his gear hahah.

“I’m buying an AES500 in white like my brothers” has arrived here 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Actually stock on the aes500

Which @Maudemeans I’m now thinking of that for mine 😂

I’m going tort…but my brother has a collection of yamaha AES 500 guitars which used Black Pearloid (always looks a bit grey/blue to me). His White one (same as Bb424x white) looks awesome.

This spoon…this, smack on head.

My initial thought was about how thin that scratch plate would be at the edge - possibly ‘snappable’ 😂

Apparently in 2008 fender announced it as an April Fools web post, but some guys have made them, pretty cool.

There was a guy who did a mock up of a jag Stang bass…

Ibanez blazer a 70’s/80’s P pickup bass Fender Jag Stang a Guitar with and offset body. and “Oof that’s lovely…” and “mad” because it’s a lovely mix of designs.

Oof like a mad Blazer Jag Stang bass cool

I think that’s a 400, but it’s a dog. £50 would be appropriate

Hahah - nor am I. are you going for it?!

If I see a used one in a couple of years, I could be tempted. Id like to play one first really too. Wish I’d got the TS-4 I had when I worked in an esp dealer.

have you seen yesterday’s update? Original Guitarist quit at 5.30 after 3/4 rehearsals back. His replacement (who i’d wanted to keep…) Came down on 2 hours notice and absolutely smashed it - So he’s back, and original guy can’t come back now. He’s gone. There’s more to it than that. But this isn’t the place for it. To the OP - best of luck, go for it!

Sorry for nonsense above from me. serious post… in 2007 I was sent a batch of demos for a singer guy I’d been recommended to. I played roughly root note stuff with a bit of movement, nothing flashy - and to the song, he never told me to play less, occasionally asked me to play more and that’s how it stayed for 2 albums and a few hundred gigs over about 6 years. I eventually quit due the commitment and family stuff I had going on - the guy who they took on bought all of the pedals I used to use, and played slightly straighter versions of my basslines (from what I’d been told) - his stuff on subsequent recordings had his own style and he sounded great. Just play what’s right for you and the song, I’d probably go in and make a holy show of myself these days as I’m nowhere near as cool as I once thought I was 😆

A chapless donkey is a blessing - if you’re unfortunate enough to have a chapped donkey…try this…

£500, would’ve had it.
