  1. the burgundy is stunning
  2. I’ve had the pleasure of this bass for a few days while Tobie is away. Although I won’t be buying it (I have a remarkably similar jazz which is like a comfy chair to me) - I’m blown away by the sound, the quality, the feel and the colour of this bass… In a rare moment of common sense - I’ve decided not to add another bass to the pile. Its amazing though and for £280, it’s mental value for money. Tobie is ace too - as a point.
  3. Always wanted one of these since seeing a review in Bassist magazine years ago. I had a corvette standard ash at the time and it seemed so much “posher”. Looks lovely.
  4. £85 plus postage… otherwise I’ll just hang on to it 😊
  5. Reasonable offers entertained on this. now off work over summer so postage and collecting a bit more flexible
  6. John bought a bass from me (Yamaha BEX) - all arrangements a joy, even when my “early finish” on Wednesday turned into unpaid overtime and delayed shipping. Enjoy the bass.
  7. Bump for this - I’m now off work for the summer, so postage can be done on the day…but I’m also home for collection more regularly.
  8. Teenage Dirtbag threw me though - is it a soul/funk rework?
  9. Soul/Funk (seems to be the set list staple?) - We did 2 similar bands “Covert” ”Reissue” on the same train of thought Re:Soul Souled Out Souler Powered Something like that?
  10. Sort of own one - but it’s more of a bucket list bass. my Ripper. I really still want a Wal Mk1. just - £7k-£11k isn’t going to happen.
  11. This is the one I’m thinking of
  12. he had a vintage 5 in the same finish - I loved it
  13. Think the vast majority were just Sadowsky… he did have them waterproofed though.
  14. I’d adore this… Got to sell something probably to make up the shortfall of about £200 or so 🤦🏻‍♂️
  15. I had boxes. I’ve sold 2 basses - now I have no more boxes. But, Mrs Travis has just ordered some stuff that’s arrived in big boxes, so I could work something out. The bass you’re dying to own…is still available 😉😉😉
  16. Feels about 25/30 years a bit too late? he was using them from the load/reload era. “Newsted” as a band are done. Dunno - love the bloke, and he was probably well up there with Flea as my early influences/inspiration… But £7000+ for that? Big fat Meh.
  17. Effffin ell! Wowzers! so sorry to see a fellow bassist with damaged digits… I now know why I borderline refuse to use tools or do DIY other than painting and hanging pictures. Wishing you a speedy recovery mate - hopefully a good result and some rehabilitation work and you’ll be back at it.
  18. Not today… the BEX is on its way to Cornwall - and I sold the other ABG. im sure I could get something together fairly quickly (Mrs T has just had some new suitcases delivered)
  19. Performed admirably at the beeb… But - it’s now done its job. I’m selling everything except the ripper and the orange BB, so it needs a new home.
  20. It covers so much ground; seems to do everything really well - it’s a lot heavier though…so if someone could find an 8lb ripper…I’d be beans chuffed. My 76 was the lightest of 4 @walshy had 😂
  21. Separation of EA/DG So you could theoretically only have effects on treble strings etc.
  22. Tentative feeler this… I cannot shake the desire for a stingray (I know, I’ve had about 7). Other idea is a 70’s style jazz. so. If you want a British made 44 year old Ric/Wal/Precision hybrid thing…here it is. light. Stereo (and mono) enabled. Light (8lbs ish) road worn ish…(it’s in better condition than I am) …light 🤣 I’m a bit torn really as it’s actually been an inspiring bass. But the ripper is winning every time. would rather trade - but…I’m open to ideas. Has a very old and battered case which I can only assume is original. Oh, and it’s all original, cover, no cracked finish etc… postage is an option anyhow….i reserve the right to come to my senses at any given moment.
  23. I always played Telecasters, 72 custom and 72 thin line.
