    I’ve still not decided on this one, but I’ve had 8 BB’s through the doors in the last 6 months and this was the one I swore was here to stay as it’s a carbon copy of my first ever bass. It’s a 1984 model in metallic red, some age related marks, but nothing devastating, is in unbelievable nick for its age. it came to me missing a machine head and one not working properly so I sorted an original 1980’s Yamaha Cam set, which look like they’ve lived on the bass since day one. its gorgeous sounding (I have a short clip I’ll upload). It’s a little over 9lbs, and plays superbly. I have a 1024x and 414 which do a very similar job, and I’ve got a thing for Attitude basses - one has just arrived and another much more expensive one is in the offing so, I need to lighten the load. Included is a bit of a prototype pickguard I was working on with Tim Allen for my 1100s which I modded a little, liked the idea of an LP junior pickguard but on a bass. It’s not drilled or anything. Collection is the best bet as I don’t have a case. I will ship neck off which will cost another £15 on top in the UK. 6AF87B5B-BB9A-4BAC-83BC-A9785EC83E69.mp4

    I had an 88 roadie 2a. Didn’t suit the band I was in at the time. It was lovely though.

    Going back to Nathan East’s new frame bass 😂

    They’re a slightly different shape, and the synonymous BB chrome pickup surrounds?

    There’s no “disappointed” reaction

    Not sure my white jazz would ever leave me...it’d be hard to resist a blue flakey thing.
  13. AndyTravis
    Yeah. Pile of shite. Would rather pleasure myself with shards of glass.

    I think there are new owners - they’re clearing the decks to start again. David Briggs who employed me (and had owned them since the 70’s) is a true Gentleman, one of the most intimidating yet kind hearted and funny (dry) men I’ve ever met. His Daughter and Wife are also wonderful people. I wish them all the best, but the market has evolved without the “shop” model.

    “It’s on the internet for £7.65 less mate...” just the way of the world now.

    A 18 year old me went for an interview there in April 2003. I left the Manchester shop in 2014. It was time for me to go, but some great people will be unemployed when they shut the shops. Think music retail in the traditional sense is over.

    Yeah. Ridiculous
