Right - hear me out. I’m really not sure about this - but im trying to be a good boy. EDIT - HAS TO GO £400 PLUS POSTAGE IN THE UK. I keep listening back to rehearsals and I’m preferring passive basses in the mix (I’ve done this before - always end up back at passive) This bass does passive - even has a tone pot. It also works as a passive bass if the battery goes. I recently sold another bb1100s as I didn’t need two, but then I’ve been using this passive since. I’m in discussions about a 1024x and something’s got to give. It’s under 9lbs (8.8 if I remember correctly) it has some marks - nothing like the other 1100s had, some minor play wear - and a bit of oxidisation on the pole pieces, not bad for 32 years old. No case - just a slip cover - I’d prefer to ship it neck off, but could ship as is if you’re completely happy with the associated risks. £15 in UK or collect in M27 Manchester. This really is a tentative post. Not sure i’ll keep it going. But it’s a lovely bass and I want it used - if passive suits the band then that’s where I’m going with it. The sticker is easy to remove and I have a mock-up pickguard which could come with it - gig.ink have the final fit template on file so you could get one made up for it easily if you like them.

Got this 2/3 months ago via eBay. It’s got a split in the headstock area - not fatal but needs glueing and clamping. the body has various knocks and dings and is a sort of Torino red colour. previous owner has added a thumb rest which is again in need of throwing in a bin. id planned to refinish this in a fender shoreline gold or something but haven’t had the time, and as I bought this a BB300 turned up which is what I wanted as I started on. It’s a Taiwanese 1987 model, and sports standard sized P pickups so is rife for modding. heres the absolute selling point (apart from feeling lovely) it weighs 7.7lbs. it had two damaged tuners and as they’re notoriously difficult to source - it’s fortunate I have a draw full of BB parts and put it back to factory. The knobs - I can put some chrome or black ones on for you, and i’ll Put some new ish roto nickels on it. i will ship it, neck off. Will cost about £15 in UK. its too nice to write off, but I haven’t the time to sort it. It’s in Manchester m27 and it deserves to be someone’s P bass (and for anyone with back troubles 😉)

It reminds me of something Alanis Morrisette would have done around jagged little pill. Also a bit of Chris Cornell’s solo stuff. not offensive in the slightest. Just glad I didn’t have to suffer Jeff Beck to listen to her playing bass. She sounds good. I made some negative digs at her once (early doors about 2010) in a thread; I’ve matured and glad I’m a bit more open minded these days. That precision is lovely too - late 60’s/early 70’s

NSD Fender Flatwounds (vs D’Addario chromes)
AndyTravis replied to chickenjames's topic in Accessories and Misc
Depends how old the fender strings you have are...d’addario were/are Making Fender’s strings and have done since about 2010. -
Well. In light of the fact I was “giving up” last year - and some of the tits I’ve been in bands with... my current band mates are ace. Love them all dearly - good people.

New G&L Fullerton Deluxe P and J basses
AndyTravis replied to BassApprentice's topic in Bass Guitars
I keep looking at this post from G&L and thinking I want one of their JB’s like this... -
-
Yeah - got further pictures. It’s not a £150 bb414. It’s a £90 414. It’s had a hard life.

“Should just be in the background” I didn’t stay in that band long.

It’s about where the bridge is too mate, I think Schecter and Lakland make P5’s with 35” scale. Schecter is more a P/J, but the Lakland’s are the Bob glaub model. Think there’s one for sale here but it’s a US jobbie.

Tried to up the contrast etc - seems there’s a logo on the headstock

Google “giffin bass” see what you think

Awesome guitarist who was always 30-45 minutes late, never there to set up the PA, never stayed to pack down...never learned parts properly... He was part of the reason I quit. But he was one of the worst band members I’ve had.

I reckon Mr East would sound good on a £50 Deko. Incidentally, what his new bass looks like 😂😂😂 (I jest - but I’m still laughing at the “my god, that bongo is ugly” with Yamaha replying ‘hold my beer’ comment)
-
The one with the taped pickup on Facebook looks like it’s had a hard paper round. I feel a wanted ad coming up...
-
comes in “vintage” too 🤮

@CameronJ I’d rather wait for @StuarDaddy to realise that BB’s are not for him... Shouldve gone up on my lunch break - it was in Knowsley and I’m only working in Ashton-in-Makerfield (about 10 miles) would’ve been a long dinner break...in fact, I haven’t had a dinner break in 2 years
