    I too don’t really “get” SH. Saw him live once. Still didn’t get it. There’s just something “ham fisted” - pardon the pun, like he’s just wellying it. Same with some stuff I’ve seen Louis Johnson doing…Arhythmic thumping…how hard can I hit this bass. Anyhow, each unto their own I guess.

    The Powell/Bones Brigade stuff is synonymous with Billy Sheehan’s wife bass. I shudder to think how much I paid for vintage PP stickers when I made my own “wife” bass.

    In fact - here are the pictures @bubinga5

    hiya @bubinga5 I think this was mine originally, went to @bassfan - regret selling it, it’s a good one! The pickups are original - the covers are solid covers which I changed as my playing style, with the exposed polepieces and low action meant I got blisters quickly. These covers allowed me to keep the action low and to dig in without this issue. Fully reversible and non invasive.

    I’m realistic, I know what’s in her bank account…she could easily do it… But the reason her account is healthy and mine is always at DNR stage is because she doesn’t buy basses 😂

    I know I started the other thread - sent Mrs T the link with the word “fortieth?” her reply… “That’s a gross amount” don’t think she’s taking the hint…

    https://on.soundcloud.com/ALQc1meiHgVUjfWKA having just booked our summer holiday… I just tried to get my head in that “first cocktail in the sun” came out like a pseudo Foos track. pretty happy with that Ripper, Yamaha acoustic and my trusty £40 Pacifica…everything else is GarageBand.

    In fact…the last time I played one of these…this was my face (thanks @binkybongo)

    The only basses I can really stand with maple boards and matching heads. This is lovely… I’m not even in a position to buy, but lord I want it.

    Lloyd bought a Yamaha from me - absolutely easy transaction; he’s got one of my “shouldn’t have sold that” basses. but I’m glad it’s gone to a good home!

    Rosetti are the UK distributor for Ric. This will be full tilt recommend retail. But if they’re above £5k I absolutely can’t go for that 🤦🏻‍♂️
  17. AndyTravis
    That’s really something Warren, congratulations x

    if it works… bridge lift/split - very rare, but i have seen it. truss Rod works…8mm box wrench (like a Gibson) the machineheads are usually rattly - that’s a quirk. Just live with it.

    Been on a while that… Looks cool. but not on the danger list for me.

    This would’ve been EMG’d and lake placid blue with a Pearl pickguard 💆🏻‍♂️

    There was one in Liverpool for £100. now somewhere else in Liverpool for £200. there was a 90’s bb350 for £60 today… I messaged the guy the second I saw it…but it was gone, obviously 😫
  22. AndyTravis
    Bb414 is a kind of bb1600 reissue
  23. AndyTravis
    yup. I’ve been walking around feeling like shite with a properly sore throat all day 🫤 - grim.

    It was an absolute pleasure Andy. Great fun - having been in similar positions before myself I was totally with you on the ride. I must admit - had it not gone home with you (it 100% would have…with someone) I was actually thinking how to pay for it myself. A very cool bass.
