How are we all? just to keep this updated… After just 3 rehearsals, the guitarist has quit. Brilliant. He wants “to pursue a covers band as his musical outlet” OH well. I’m not really that bothered anymore. I’ve got two people lined up. Hoping Andy who did a great job before hand doesn’t hold a grudge…😩 I absolutely wouldn’t blame the guy if he told me to stick it.

Yeah. Not sure I’m young or cool enough.

Paul bought a Yamaha bb450 from me, arranged collection. All aspects wonderful. Many thanks - enjoy the bass. Andy

Still not sold on either of these…done in a moment of madness

My wife’s started up a rival bass forum. You’re banned from that too.

I’ve been made a mod, and I’ve had enough of you…

Lee Muir/Lee650 has just messaged me in a panic over the same. he’s got the same screen but I’ve managed to access his profile and send him a test message - so definitely looks a bug?

Wonder if Abe Jr was on the shortlist? Loved his work with KD Lang.

Yeah. It’s unofficially “on hold” for @lee650

Well…450 has now gone. And the white 350f I didn’t actually think I’d win on eBay arrived…

Hehehe. Good Lord this is tempting

Watching now 😢

Well. The wanted section has a bb1500a Advert as of about an hour ago.

So…the couch is too small for the BB gang. The white 350f was purchased in a “cheeky bid, I’ll never win it…” regret it later moment 2 weeks ago. It’s really nice: but I’ve prepared it for @lee650by changing the strings, knobs and bridge…gutted as it’s actually bloody lovely - I have a fretless I already don’t play and I know Lee wants one. The 450, it’s a stunner - but the 424’s are winning. So it’s been offered in trade. I must now endeavour to complete the 350 I’ve stripped. And the 414 needs a fret dress - the 9th is high and I’ve not got the tools anymore. Anyhow, a photo opportunity with outgoing team members was necessary.

Really fancy a green bb1000ma… Theres one on reverb at a great price, but by the time it gets to me it will accrue about £200 in import costs 🤦🏻‍♂️

1964… Schaller machineheads I think replacement too.

I’m going 67. @neepheid May know more. bridge is aftermarket (edit - spotted you’ve said that) and “custom” plate is a bit of a red herring possibly

In front, behind…depends how late I leave it…

That’s really cool.

Great playing - the jazz wins that for me.

My best mate went to see them with a girlfriend, he said it was a great gig - even though he absolutely detested them. we still rib him for it occasionally - I don’t really know why, they were at their peak (so it was ages ago) the girl dumped him soon after and he married a lovely girl a few years later… he’s one of those “life’s sorted” kind of guys, so it’s the only thing we’ve got on him…😂

I didn’t realise this until stumbling across this thread - I thought the Carvin was just a reworked LB75. Brian Bomberg has done the same thing but with Peavey/Dean and now Keisel.

I’ve looked at the door. That’s where I’m going. ”shocking pub carpet” hasn’t got enough Avenues for my fragile mind…
