  1. It’s all your fault 😂
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. That’s bloody lovely!!!
  5. Come on then...photos!?
  6. I have no doubt. 1 x White Pearl, 1 x Black on way. Both still cheaper than 1 white pearl from local guy 🤷🏻‍♂️
  7. 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.
  8. Right up my street this one...
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Hahah good old George. He was a slap bass monster, and early influence for Larry Graham so I’ve read.
  12. 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. 😂😉
  13. this guy has some...
  14. 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...
  15. FYI The plural for a group of BB basses is a ‘Trav’ apparently. Glad my ‘useless’ knowledge came into play 😉
  16. Could be. But I know BB’s can suffer this. I have replaced the odd one x
  17. Red Yamaha BB300, Trace Elliot Boxer 65. I sounded ace 😉
  18. Machine heads...one of them is loose, they have adjusters on the bottom, and rarely the elephant ear part works loose and may need replacement (although I’ve seen them repaired with blobbed supergluing...) might not be, but I’d say it’s a possibility
  19. Would love to hear him on a normally tuned bass 😉
  20. The chaps from Mudvayne, Incubus and Fieldy from Korn also spring to mind. I know Fieldy is very clicky and possibly has the “worst” bass tone ever...but listen to his rhythm. Dirk Lance who was in Incubus really is a bit monstrous (think he left them a while ago)
  21. Always...need to see what you’ve bought though?! still got that older bb body (350?) you posted a while ago?
  22. Tryouts my to figure this one out. Its about 1994/5. Think it’s a 350 or something.
  23. I’m in Manchester 😉 will pm you x
