  1. With me it’s “we’ve found a bassist who’s not a tit, can you leave now?”
  2. The Christmas gig offer was lovely “Trav, I need a bass player for a high profile gig in Manchester - I don’t want anyone else, but I appreciate you’re on a break. Would you consider it?” Suppose it’s nice to be wanted 🤔😂
  3. Haha. well, word’s got out that I’m depping for a mate’s band on 23rd December for a posh hotel gig. So a few people have been in touch. This offer seems a bit more me, so I’m meeting them all next week all being well.
  4. “Hiya mate...I’ve started a new band, and it’s geared towards you. Start in January. You alright with that?”
  5. How do. just got my hands on a bb414 through here. In about 2004 Yamaha did a model called the 414x which was the same bass but with a Pickguard. this was a precursor to the 424x/1024x and 2024x. for whatever reason I can’t establish, the 424x Pickguard doesn’t fit a 414 (I had a 415 and 425x at the same time and tried - just a little bit off) so I was wondering if anyone has a 414x I can borrow the Pickguard from so @TimAl can make me one. I remember preferring my 415 to the 425x but love how the Pickguard breaks up the big body. And I’ve got gigs coming up which I’d rather take a Yamaha to than a Custom Shop Fender if you get me...
  6. The fives. Both served me well - I started on a bb300, and the shape just works for me.
  7. Too late, will let you know if it’s not for me (it is...😉)
  8. Yup. I had a 5’er and wished I’d bought a 4. this fills my gap, and the best colour. hopefully in my hands this week 😉
  9. I want this. PM
  10. I was watching this on eBay and then it disappeared 🙄 It’s lovely. Had an option to buy one at trade years ago and have kicked myself since - especially now my eldest has started lessons
  11. Bollocks. I’d love that. It’s lovely lovely lovely. not allowed though...self imposed buying ban.
  12. Looks great. Favourite fender colour. On a buying ban and not playing 5’s currently 🙄
  13. I really enjoyed it, I wish it’d gone on a bit longer. I loved the Brian May version of the 20th Century Fox music, I did a geeky guffaw at the start. It seemed Rami Malek settled into the role more as the film went on, assuming it was filmed in sequence...the bit with the Cap and sunglasses he was so like the real deal. But the chaps playing Brian May and John Deacon were unbelievable - sounded, acted and looked just like them. Minor quibble is some dodgy hand mining, but you can’t win it all. And on the whole, instrument choice was Bob on. Apart from a shiny stingray classic being in place of a pre EB, but was much better than the ch5 documentary where BM was playing and Epiphone SG 😂
  14. https://en.shpock.com/i/W-CU5guOnDpYW4lW/?lft= “Diamond” jazz copy - £70 near derby
  15. If I was a little more flush I’d be tempted, very very cool
  16. They’re like busses... it’s better to choose another way to get to where you need to be.
  17. Wish this was closer!!! Fuming ps if anyone is near it and heads Manchester way i’ll Happily reward someone
  18. Look at the italia imola. this sort of did what you wanted - but some smart wiring would separate the bass and treble sides.
  19. Dunno, not what I was looking for 😉
  20. The stringing at the Headstock is hilarious
  21. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F253965011524 early 90’s Korean? Cort? dunno. Looks a bit Bass collection? @TheGreek one for you?
  22. Think the unit itself is about 10mm but obviously would need a blob of solder and a power source.
