    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?!

    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’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.
  13. 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
  15. 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!
  18. AndyTravis
    Done
  19. AndyTravis
    I had a 1991 Burner Deluxe - walnut top. Absolutely huge regret selling that on - I didn’t give it much of a chance, I know it would work wonderfully for the stuff my playing now. And I’d love this - just £1300 too poor at the moment... Great looking bass.

    First run of the final colour is on.
  21. AndyTravis
    The Yamaha pickguards only come in black. So you’d need a luthier
  22. AndyTravis
    Look for a BB415OM and find someone who can sell you a BB425x/1025x pickguard 😉
  23. AndyTravis
    Damn. Always miss these: that’s nice.
  24. AndyTravis
    @TRBboy lovely
  25. AndyTravis
    Oh no - that’s the primer. It will look like this...
