  1. Well... annoyingly the car needs a Major service as well as new brake pads and discs. The pot post Christmas is very empty and I need a few extra quid just in case there are any nasty surprises with the motor. So this was bought about 3 months ago on a whim. It needed cleaning, needed a new jack socket and a couple of other bits. Fender Machineheads were a bit battered, these have been replaced with a brand new set of Schaller BMF’s. Bridge was Cosmo black where the rest of the hardware was normal Black...so bought a Gotoh 201b. Jack was temperamental so replaced with a new Neutrik unit. Some chips on headstock, sympathetically sorted. Looks loads better. knobs are the f top ones but the caps were missing on two of the three so I put some 80’s metal knurled ones on which really look the part. The neck plate was scratched and worn, just looked a bit of a state. Replaced with a gotoh unit. Battery box was missing some paint and I couldn’t source a replacement so flattened it back to uniform metal. Looks good. Strap buttons as above. Replaced. It’s 32/33 years old, and shows it - not smashed up, but shows swirls, few minor knocks and some buckle rash. It’s cool, genuine roadworn - not a relic though 😉 All original parts will be included with the bass. I could ship it. Be about £20 in UK. Nut is 38mm, weight is a pleasant 9lbs. Looks brilliant, sounds great. Low action. Controls - volume/tone/frequency big switch is pickup selector. small switch is; 1. Preamp off (pointing away from neck) tone control works 2. Preamp on (middle - 1 set of frequencies) tone control inactive 3. Preamp on (towards neck, 2nd set of frequencies) tone control inactive.
  2. Just seen that “head” no. £899 isn’t tempting enough
  3. They look a bit like a leFay? Not a bad thing. Not Enough to sway me to spend £1500
  4. They crop up on reverb a fair bit. Sometimes white. Sometimes clear.
  5. I can vouch for @bassfan’s trade being firmly rooted in 2019 as I saw the pictures of what he’s getting last week. Verrrry nice
  6. @Mastodon2 thats a beauty mate. Not helping me shake the idea I’d like one too 😂
  7. Was he not there?! That means he’s done no work this year...
  8. HNY? WYOA? YMMV. 😉
  9. New you’d pipe up, rubbing your acorn so @bigsmokebass will like your comment...
  10. Did someone say orange...
  11. Bent bit of tin. Basically making out it’s a crude/agricultural design...
  12. Looks like one of @TimAl’s that
  13. The 404 is the slimmer Nathan East body
  14. Always back for me
  15. In your pants?
  16. I’ve got 43 of the same bass. And 12 of the same amp.
  17. They’re nice. Off out with mine shortly...
  18. That works. Nice...
  19. I like that...must not press the finance button
  20. Just brilliant, does trad p/j really well - the tbx circuit just allows MORE or Less...it’s a great design - not messing about with 3/4/5 band eq... It’s how good this bass feels. It feels so good. Blummin eck.
  21. Is it good for metal?! No irony? I’d say so. Shove a set of steel rounds on it...
  22. They don’t crop up as often as I thought they would...
  23. Yeah. It’s grown on me.
  24. I find it an odd album generally, too much production on an underwritten set of songs...that’s where BSSM’s strengths lay, not much polish, great songs.
