That’s bloody marvellous

Yeah. Most likely. I basically got this a bit cheaper than what they go for as it’s not pristine. But as I’ve bought bits it’s probably just as well I don’t spend £300 on a paint job as I’d end up about £200 down if I sold it after. it currently owes me about as much as a rough one would go for. see how I feel when I’ve done the battery box.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. But a decent pro job is about £400 for a flake paint job.

It’ll be sold black 😂

Haven’t got the money for a sparkle paint job. Although two considered options Gun Metal Sparkle British Racing Green Sparkle.

Looks wonky. £10 and a packet of pork scratchings ought to see you right... I need some wood for my chimnea... STUNNING

Oh. And I replaced the strap buttons with black gotoh ones as the others were super worn.

Replaced the neck plate with a black gotoh, replaced the bridge with a black gotoh. So. I need to find some decent pickup screws. And I want to check over the jack socket as it’s a barrel unit and it’s a bit on/off. I’ve taken out the battery box which will be stripped and resprayed. then it’s “finished” So I then decide what I’m doing with it.

Think it was linked to his tattoo and an Instagram tag. He’s a jammy bugger though - always lands on his feet. Lovely bloke, well deserved.

Oh god the sound quality of the vid is awful...but still. He played with his favourite band.

A mate of mine Alex is mad obsessed with them, he has their “infinity” logo tattooed on his arm. Somehow he ended up joining them on stage to play drums...(found the vid) I don’t remember any of their songs, but I’d know them if I heard them. Sort of Springsteen meets Graham Parker and The Rumour. Anyhow, yes; I’ve heard of them 😂

I’ve never been asked to sell a bass to as many people as this...

There are 4 basses on eBay at the moment I’d buy. Have politely messaged each seller. All 4 basses are still running. I’d be able to drive for 2 of them, but just haven’t got the time this side of Christmas - kids have busier social lives than me. Fuming.

Is it one of those basses where you put it down and think...Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you... is it? G’wan. Is it?

It was a Tender Trap, I’m still Ironing our the rough spots...I’ll stop there. Don’t want to end up a Broken Man.

Well, wherever you lay your hat...

Yeah it’s all well and good making a list etc, but has anyone given much thought or time to get around to finding out if this bass is in fact, overall...actually any good for metal?

Do that. Love mine
