  1. Hmmmnnn nah, looks in great nick
  2. Actually unintentionally coordinated, but yeah. I’m sure I’ll get some stick from the band
  3. It’s screaming for a modern reissue in funky colours
  4. I will dig out my Yamaha book, don’t think it goes into any major detail about the SB’s. Thought it may have been linked to the idea of a rickenbacker, but that was 33 1/4
  5. Yup. said it before and I’ll say it again… it could’ve been great - there were opportunities while I worked for them (2003-2014) and they made crap choices. some great friends lost their jobs (again) today. a shame. A real shame. If the main man would’ve listened to me and a few key others In 2010 ish…but…nope. The guy who took the reigns was a really odd guy…he had no knowledge of MI sales and eventually it went belly up. They then got rinsed by KPMG (asset strippers) - and then a seemingly well intentioned local small time retailer got in over his head. Was never a “cool” place to work - but Jesus it made huge amounts of money. Huge. At points - it was amazing. Have made some of my best friends through working there. Hope the 48 can find something.
  6. Thanks to @bagsieblue who knows I’m a fan… I have a dirty old Yamaha arriving. This story started 23 years ago (1998…) and I was a beginner of about 14/15 months. Every month my local paper shop go “Bassist” magazine in for me. It was great. My grandad Eoin paid the subscription. They ran articles - a sort of “readers wives” column. in the August 1998 issue it was this - And tonight…I’ve got one. Go me.
  7. Ahem… 55 arrives Sunday…
  8. Well…back to an Ashdown MK500. Some more bits arriving tomorrow, I missed my old rack tuner and MK rig - the “Knight Rider” setup 😂
  9. It’d be a bit too pricey for a RBX170… Yamaha do themselves no favours with the ultra budget up to mega expensive selection of prices…
  10. Tony Wilson: What're you doing? Martin Hannett: Recording silence! Tony Wilson: Recording silence? Martin Hannett: No, I'm recording Tony f***ing Wilson! brilliant film.
  11. So…this is where I’m up to. and Captain sanded body will have the neck and chrome hardware off this body until I have time/money to sort.
  12. I’ve just intonated the bridge before anyone says anything 🤣
  13. Bought for a project and decided to use an OEM Yamaha piece I had. £50 posted in UK - Screws included. Think the chrome ones are £60 new, the gold are about £75. will fit fender 5 screw as well as string through basses (used these on BB424x a few times and they’re ace). Happy to entertain offers and trades 😜
  14. So. My original Bb350f arrived and is now wearing all gold hardware and a fretted neck (frets are gold too 😜)
  15. No idea. sorry - I am curious about the amp, but no enough 😂
  16. Not free, he’s after £300 per bass and £100 for the amp. nice things
  17. I spent a few quid more on an iPad, interface and headphones. but I like the idea.
  18. £250 collected guys - happy to box up for collection for a courier of your shout too.
