Just before the 1300 leaves for @briansbrew and while the bb450 awaits a new nut…and the 350 awaits pretty much all the stuff to stop it looking like a tramps tea…

That’s Sod’s law that… If anyone fancies a project body…🤣

Well…this is here. Some stuff to sort… overall, it has potential.

I’d say…(puts on fender/Gibson hat) Indonesian reissues of; BB3000 - with a good neck through, passive 5000 with modern spacing. BB1600 - a Tony Kanal sig? BB2000? BB1200? Reissue the basses which are the iconic ones - like the BBPH was sort of a 1200s reissue (albeit a bit off). Dunno. I might be well off. But a neck through bb at £1000 p/j in some funky colours would be ace.

The Sadowsky and Jack Casady have gone too…

Gawd… so BB424x - Sunburst BB424x - White BB1300 - Blue BB450 - Sunburst BB350 - currently awaiting paint Hmm. Have I missed some out? I’ve no clue. I absolutely find my bass fetishism pathetic 😂

Think that’s meant to go here Mick 😉

Mick has just bought my Jack Casady in Pelham Blue. Faultless throughout, confused the hell out of the man and van courier who’d done the reverse trip with the Yamaha last month. Anyhow. Enjoy x

New one not here yet - bb1300 going at end of week - little temporary fluctuation in levels.

You could offload the 424x to me - and you’re over halfway there…WOAH-OH LIVIN ON A PRAYER

Go for it, I remember my Caramel 1024 feeling more special than the 414, but I liked the grit the 414 had a bit more. grit. The new “heft”

I’m sat here debating with myself about wether or not it’d be a stupid buy. Currently sat at “you don’t need it” - but my inner Wayne Carini “IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHASE” has gone into overdrive…

Searching for a pic of my brother who’s turning 40 soon… Have posted some of these before…but just for fun… This is 1997

Lovely stuff

Also…this package has arrived, just to confuse matters… I’d have to get them reworked to fit the current PU configuration. But I have them as a template for my mate who’s a trumpet maker.

Like Mercedes “Dolomite” brown?

Nah, it’s old shopfit for pianos that. Have skipped a few of them in my time. I’m a geek, but I’m not that bad

Imagine being a tree blowing in the wind, one day a local lumberjack chops you down… ”ah well, was nice while it lasted - now I will be made into something useful or beautiful by a master of woodwork - to be enjoyed and loved for generations…such is the lifecycle of a natural resource…” imagine that feeling…then you wake up…and you’ve been turned into this. THINK ABOUT IT.

Something from these hallowed pages shall be mine in the next few days. So - if anyone fancies my bb1300, message me for a “special BB Megathread Megadeal…”

These 2 are stunning, shame they’re doing the chopped headstock on the applause ones now…

I’ve been overplaying for 25 years. Nobody’s ever stopped me. Quite enjoyable really.

Yeah, I often think of AC coming home after a gig… ”Hard day at the office dear?” ’not in the least bit taxing love - really chilled, nice and easy’ ”Are we still filthy rich?” ’oh aye, increasingly so my little petal - INCREASINGLY…yurs.’ ”Brandy?” ’Why not…hehehehe’.
