I think I’ve got one knocking about. Will post it to you if I find it

I got made a prefect on the second run, when they’d sacked a few for misbehaving. It was in about April 2000, I finished school in June 2000 so I managed to hang onto it…

They were all the rage in the world of put downs and slurs in the early 90’s (in Salford) 😂

Don’t know if this was a thing where various BC members are - but right around the time I was booted out of Cubs, we used to say “ah mate, get yourself a chufty badge” when someone was showing off… ”ah look, David’s got the United kit…chufty badge for him…” I want a BC Chufty badge.

It reminds me of my very short time in Cubs (I was kicked out). ”MAM, AV JUST GOT A ‘MAKING TOAST’ BADGE, CAN YER SEW IT ON ME JUMPOH?” Ah well. I had some snarky comment to make, but I can’t be bothered. I want actual badges in an envelope so I can sew them on my jumper…or strap. People will know I’m cool then.

FFS every time I’m reminded of this thread… bb424x red metallic another Bb350f but white - this is already sold to @lee650 as I made a monumental error of judgment after some beer.

Gold string tree…the excitement never stops… sorry - I’ve overspent on BB’s so there are some significant leaves on the line…

He doesn’t leave Morecambe, we have to travel to him…

I reckon there’s enough meat on that headstock for a rework at least…

I suppose I should just commission one myself 🥴

Is it too late for lake placid blue?

Working my way back through early Metallica, it’s sort of not as heavy as I remember as a kid. Still, that’s about my limit.

“Anyone seen anything like this?” - yes, but I took some Imodium and it cleared up…

After reading about them for years…and loving how they look, and hearing Wotjiek P smash one to bits at a clinic - I fancied one! I played a patriot - may have just been that particular one, but the neck was a really odd profile and it felt really “dead” in my hand. shame.

I’m always reminded that when I get excited by fretless, that in my rack is a fretless that I had made for me…and it comes out of the rack every time I notice a build up of dust… shame, at one point I became a borderline competent fretless bassist…

I had a corvette for years, sold in a fit of “I need a vintage fender” - foolish. not that it helps you much, but as a younger, more ambitious player - I daydreamed of adding a 6 string version to my collection 😉

If it’s the same 1100s fretless I saw on Facebook before, I must admit a little trump came out - overexcitable boy that I am. Then I realised I still haven’t arranged collection of the white Bb350f from Surrey…that I didn’t need to buy at all…which I will be selling the second it arrives…because I’m an idiot. ahem. As you were.

This one. What a beauty

Honestly, you make things I daydream about - but you make them better. Good Lord. The skill of you. Magic. I think the EB-0 bird that you made is still way up there for me x

Sold Sid some knob. he loved it, tight fit notwithstanding. Enjoy.

My mate Martin was in a band with Nicko before the Maiden days… They sacked him “because he wasn’t any good”. We ribbed him magnificently when Iron Maiden’s tour manager called me about a white Gibson ES-355 we had in stock and they sent a runner to purchase it (at £3500 or whatever it was) as one of the band fancied it. What a claim to fame though, “i sacked Nicko, he joined Maiden soon after”.
