  1. nah, much like the orange bb. This just stays.
  2. This is my “stingray” comes in at just over 7lbs. Unfortunately, they’re scarce as can be…took me 20 years to find one.
  3. Tomorrow is yesterday’s today…😵‍💫
  4. Now every bass is a sadowsky 😉
  5. Gav has recently bought a Yamaha BB from me. It was brisk, and lovely. I’ll stop now, otherwise he’ll rip his pants.
  6. Never owned a G&L… Which is a regret. and a surprise as I’ve had millions of fender and musicman basses… I thought it may have been this one…
  7. And I’m going to say…1981 L-1000
  8. It’s a G&L… the dot on the back of the head tells me that…
  9. It’s a bit bigger than that. 27” scale B-b it’s like a super jumbo jumbo
  10. Oh well. We’re now the proud owners of a baritone. I had a band get together at the house yesterday. Drank my body weight in Elvis Juice and agreed to buy one from A local Facebook seller
  11. Zombie thread: just bought one of these 😂
  12. Well, there’s a “message Trav” option…I’m booking a courier for the white one to collect Monday…the red one could be with you on Tuesday. I’ve got boxes and bubble wrap everywhere 😂😉
  13. Having a nightmare getting an old bass back… it’s in South Wales, guy won’t trust couriers… my man and van can’t do it. really stuck. It’s a 4 hour drive for me each way. is anyone near who would be amenable to collect - and wait for a courier to collect? happy to ship boxes etc and packing materials. I just can’t drag the kids out for 8 hours in the car without a week long holiday being involved…

  14. About 10 years ago was bottom (they didn’t do a 224x) - equivalent model is 434 these days. White is sold. Red still available
  15. Just sat messaging @bagsieblue welling up, some amazing stories. “Kermit” the bright metallic green Ford Ka, covered in bird poop. And the subsequent revolving door of Mini’s - had nowt but trouble with them, but kept on buying them! Nearly bought mine actually 😂 Our last deal was a few months ago - he came to my rehearsal space, the sat nav took him to a separate car park…he was rarely late. Phone rings… ”Andy. Martin…er…anybody home?” He really was a bloody great bloke. The world is going to be a bit less fun. Mrs T has just relayed a story - he was finishing his shift one evening and popped by Iris’ ward - “hiya Mrs T, do you need anything from the shop before I get off” - just a brilliant person. He didn’t have to do that. Humpf. Really sad.
  16. Will miss this ”MB1 😎 - Local Bump…”
  17. FFS! Martin and I go back about 10 years!! We bought and sold each other so much gear it was a borderline joke. When we had our youngest in hospital (Martin was a hospital Porter), he was there - and brought his left field humour to keep us going - he checked in with Jen and I as well as saying hello to family and the kids. “I’m yer dads mate…I buy all the bass stuff he regrets” 😂 What a bloody awful shame. gutted.
  18. Yeah. But they also elected to make the 424/1024/2024 in black/burst/white - so from a minor distance the £400/£800 and £2000 model all looked the same… They get so much right, and so much wrong. the Pacifica guitars get some weird and wonderful colours/flame tops etc… bass land…Nope.
  19. No 5 strings 👍🏼
  20. Yeah - as Luke says, 350f
  21. This is honestly where I’m at (sorry @lee650) just, a dream. 1/3 jazz 1/3 precision 1/3 stingray so, I have to finish the project this one is Lee’s fretless with the neck @Andyjr1515did for me, which means on Wednesday it’s back to fretless and gone 😩
  22. Well, I have more BB’s than sense. One is in bits and need finishing. One is seeing all the action. One hasn’t arrived. After a huge voyage of discovery… Reverse p/j is the right way for me - so. Here we go. both have upgraded Gotoh Bridges. Both have brand new Fender 45-100 strings. white one has some very minor marks - impossible to photograph some swirls on Pickguard. red one is super clean. has an Armadillo basic bag. both 9.5lbs Both have yamaha black knobs - they look and feel better, are lighter and fill the control plate out a bit more than the metal ones. shipping with Parcelforce is £25 in UK. man and van courier £50 in UK. Paypal gift if I know you (ie - you’re a regular) Bank Transfer or PayPal Goods - you cover fees if I don’t know you. Cash on collection from Manchester (M27) £350 per bass only interested in trades via PM, but in all honesty, it’d have to be a reverse P with a J bridge unit - or would trade 2 basses toward a sunburst Roadworn 50’s Precision with a bit from me or a 50’s classic in sunburst as a straight swap. EDIT - WHITE IS SOLD EDIT 2 Red is sold
  23. So after much deliberation, the reverse P/J is definitely the one for me. Orange 414 is staying. White and Red 424x will be listed shortly.
