Hahaha oh. @lee650 wonder if it’s time for that offer…

Nope, available in natural for a while.

It’s really lovely that. A bit pricey. but that’s the “Tony Kanal” one which makes me lust…but I’m not buying currently

And this is on the way

I think the mudbucker/p is fine as a setup… the bridge p though, could’ve just been routed into the body.

All work done by Jack’s Instrument services in Manchester… Why didn’t they say no? 😂

Haha. He married a mate who used to be a singer in my band. Mrs T was in fine form.

At a wedding yesterday. Here I am with the groom…

Spent today regretting having drank stupid amounts at a wedding yesterday. But I’ve been playing the sb-55 a lot. Have also treated the bb-350 to some new strings. Will report back on EBS stainless later… Anyhow.

Trav from last night has your answer…

Usually drunk naysayers

I was last night

Shurrup you. you have a matching painted headstock on a maple board…🖕🏼

Also…have seen these advertised at 11/12lbs. this is about 9. hahahah

Plugged in, sounds great. the thing plays itself, really nicely set up. Neck is bang on 74/75 jazz. Like a deep pencil.

It’s here. delivered at 8.50 on a Sunday… I have a hangover the size of Uganda. its 100% the best bass ever. And I’m selling everything. TBH I’ve no clue what it sounds like. but acoustically and feel wise, it’s a belter. sleep now. In a bit gangsters.

Yup. big issue I had.

Yup. Sounds well.

Hmmmnnn nah, looks in great nick

Actually unintentionally coordinated, but yeah. I’m sure I’ll get some stick from the band

It’s screaming for a modern reissue in funky colours

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

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.
