  1. Yeah if the attitude moves, this is 100% staying
  2. Threaded saddle Bridge is here on Tuesday. will update as I sort.
  3. Recently acquired some EMG p/j pickups brand new in box via a mate who bought in error. waited for a bass to arrive which would be suitable. saw this 1994 RBX 250 and snapped it up. i don’t need the pickups, but owing to the fact they’re decent little basses, it’d be a shame to leave these in a draw. so £20 - I can post in the UK for a couple of pounds... J PICKUP LEFT £10
  4. Bump - offers? Partial trade for a Yamaha bb414/614 welcome.
  5. Bump, will absolutely entertain offers and part trades of Yamaha BB 614/414’s for this.
  6. I quite like that - never seen that model before? What is it and did they do a 4?
  7. Would love this...but I need to behave. Love me a big bottomed bass
  8. After all that... the attitude isn’t shifting and I need to sort a few things before the house move... so ive listed it for sale. Would rather not. But...that’s life
  9. Right then... this is by no means finished, needs a bit more fettling to be totally spot on. If there’s no interest I plan to part it out - but won’t be doing for now so please don’t ask 😉 70’s Yamaha Pulser Body, Ash. Naturally relic’ed/aged - no false ageing Allparts Tele Bass Neck with 68 TB decal - finished in nitro with some lacquer checking, feels great. seymour duncan hot for pbass - best p bass pickup I’ve heard in ages artec mudbucker - High output and very cool hipshot ultralite Machine heads fender neckplate kiogon loom (volume and tone per pickup means that unlike an AT bass you have a useable pbass sound mono output 1 x Greco Pickguard on bass (red shell) 1 x Tokai Shell Pickguard uncut spare (brown tort) Wilkinson bridge original 80’s skateboard stickers so the good parts are the fact it’s light, plays well and looks and sounds absolutely brilliant. The bits needing attention. I intended to buy a spiral fender bridge to sort the spacing, the Wilkinson doesn’t allow for adjustments so the stings d&g aren’t as well spaced as I’d like (a few mm towards the bass side) theres a sheared screw under the a machine head as the provided ones were made of margarine. One of the machineheads has a small section surrounding the screw missing - functions just fine, but needs a mention. The hipshot tuners work wonderfully. The routing is neater than on the original bass (done with a bread knife or something) but not as neat as I would’ve originally planned as my router is long gone so I did it by hand. so if you’re good with a router it’s 99% done for you. i wanted to replace the pickguard but I’ve run out of time - the one on the bass isn’t the best around the pickup at the neck, so there’s a nice replacement which you can use or sell if you prefer the red. Anyhow. It’s in Manchester (M27 postcode) so you can come and see it. gutted it’s going, but the attitude isn’t shifting and the sound they do (a bass plus a tank) isn’t right for the band...so I don’t need two basses which do that sound. I know a few liked the build and there are a few Sheehan fans on here. this is a working project and owes me about £600-£650 all in. I’ve run out of time, space and need. So whatever I lose, you can get a very nice bass with a bit more work needed to be an astounding instrument.
  10. I have no doubt. 1 x White Pearl, 1 x Black on way. Both still cheaper than 1 white pearl from local guy 🤷🏻‍♂️
  11. Damn. In my rush to sort a new pickguard, I didn’t apply my own packing standards to shipping the black one as a template... so. Looks like 2 new Pickguards.
  12. Right up my street this one...
  13. I bolt riffs/ideas together. i have a bank of silly little riffs which I call upon and then turn them into sections of a tune.
  14. Damn, was watching this and forgot to bid. did the seller include the original p pickup? I seem to recall they came with a nice vintage American 62 reissue p pickup which might suit the j pickup in terms of balance more. you lucky person - good price too.
  15. Hahah good old George. He was a slap bass monster, and early influence for Larry Graham so I’ve read.
  16. If it’s consensual slap bass between two or more people of an appropriate age...leave them be. I’m doing it. You can join in or f*ck off. 😂😉
  17. Singer very kindly collected the bass from Blackburn today... ”here Trav, this is where it belongs...” he’s known for his “banter”. singers are easily replaced...
