    Their attempt at an Ovation Magnum was so far off the mark... Decentbused Aria SB’s crop up frequently. I had gorgeous 700 and 1000s about 3 years ago, they were nowhere near as expensive as the reissues.
  2. AndyTravis
    Yeah. Ah well, when you get through basses for a laugh...not much point in regrets
  3. AndyTravis
    Haha. I had 6 jazz basses at the time - it had one of those necks which changed its mind every week.

    Looks remarkably similar to a Jazz I once had...damn, what a looker.

    Been a while since I’ve heard that. I might frame it and give it to my wife.

    Looks nice - weren’t these called the “Umbo”? Might be wrong...been a while since I’ve owned a Sandberg

    He says “interesting” a lot.

    I wear them Around my neck as medals and stand on the 1st place podium in the garden waving At the neighbours who clap and cheer. She stands dejected on the 2nd step, gutted to have been so close yet so far from true glory. She will ultimately be forgotten, and I will receive lucrative sponsorship and advertising deals - eventually I’ll be knighted and heralded as a national treasure.

    I wish I could justify/afford this. Having just put a jazz bass up for sale...I’d look a right sausage. Although I have 2 of the bass ive listed...I’d still look a whopper.

    As Mrs T reminds me regularly, there’s no prize for coming first.

    I’ve got some PeccyWeccy and MatchyWatchy’s for that offense...

    If anything it’s worse. You can send the hulk for that. Nasty. Dirty boy.

    She’s an English teacher too. It baffles me. ”it’s in the drop down” - WHAT?!
  17. AndyTravis
    My mate calls them “scratch guards”. Makes me feel sick. My wife also calls the glove compartment of a car The drop down. Also makes me feel sick. And when Chocolate is shortened to Choc. rancid. I generally use pickguard.

    I quite like it
  19. AndyTravis
    God bless you M 😉😂

    I’d love it to go to a good home - Id know where to rob it from too - get the hulk while I’m at it.
  21. AndyTravis
    Well...they’re bloody lovely. I’d love to keep both! But the real world and What I’d love rarely match up.

    I’ve just posted one of my Fenders for sale - no other reason than I feel greedy having two. oh that, and it would pay for the plasterboard and plasterer for my garage conversion
  23. AndyTravis
    We’ve started the Garage conversion and There’s been a lot going on at Travis Towers with family etc, so I want to rationalise my gear - I will certainly be shifting some more gear on in the next month. I have a Marcus Miller being modified into the ultimate MM, with a Sadowsky Preamp and some other mods. I aim to keep both - but will consider a Sale if someone’s after a white one. They don’t come up often and I got this one in April from Portugal. This is a very clean 2004 MIJ Miller. Theres one small dink in the front above the 70’s thumbrest position - it’s like a thumbnail indentation, but not horrific. Also - as I’ve seen a few times on OWT Fenders with ash bodies, in the cutaways there’s a little discolouration - I’m not sure what causes this, I suppose it could be sealer coat being thinner in the cutouts. Plays superb, I might raise the action a midge as since I put sadowsky 40-100 on it last week, it’s buzzing a tiny bit at the 1st fret. Weight is just over 9lbs, will dig out my luggage scales when the kids are in bed. Will come with a nice Tokai padded bag, which is actually a very nice item - never seen one before. It’s worth noting that I’ve changed the pickup covers for solid ones - I will include the original ones too. Only interested in a sale. Will entertain a Yamaha BB414/424x at £150-£200 as a partial trade, depending on condition. Would much prefer collection - but will post at buyers cost - will be about £20 posted in the UK, more if insurance is required. We can sort the details out if required.

    Sometimes it’s that something comes up for sale - it’s exciting and the irrational “have to have it” moment takes over - when the bass or amp arrives, it isn’t quite as expected (feel/sound), or is similar to something the buyer already has. I’ve done it loads - get giddy, but something and then buyers remorse kicks in. I wanted a particular bass I remember from being a kid, I found one and snapped it up - it sounded ace, looked amazing...but sat weirdly on me and I couldn’t get in with it. Sold it for what I’d paid and the next owner absolutely loved it. Still has it too. In reality we all actually need one or two basses, but we chase things as something tells us that it will be better or make us sound better. Rarely happens...

    Sold Tom some pickups and a pre. I’ve been acquainted with him for a while, but was nice to do a deal. lovely!
