    My worst has literally happened in the last 15 hours. how did I discover this purchase? when eBay sent a payment reminder. god love p*ssed me…
  3. AndyTravis
    Sold locally. Magic

    Literally bought a few days ago. Had some sort of wine related eBay embolism last night and bought a 70’s Encore/Eko bass…🙄 Captain Vino decided one acoustic bass wasn’t enough 🙄 (thought I’d grown up…WRONG!) I had plans to defret this. But it’s bloody lovely - and think it needs to be left as is. The one I’ve bought, is best described as…a pig. So I’ll be working on that, ripping the frets out etc. This is 34” and dreadnought shaped. Pickup, onboard tuner etc. In very good nick, a few tiny marks (satin finish) but the guy who had it before me was a guitarist who didn’t use it. Ive shoved roto flats on it - but I probably have some rounds if you’d prefer. no case. So collection is advisable.

    Well. After an epic eBay balls up following some vino plonko…probably soon
  6. AndyTravis
    I prefer that.

    reckon if this isn’t sold by Jan 1st, I’ll just keep it.
  8. AndyTravis
    Why is this still here?!

    Miller is known/has been known to ply a Sterling fretless 🤷🏻‍♂️🫣😂

    Not sure vintage/sx/tanglewood would harm the SUB/Sterling sales as much as Sire… and vintage/tanglewood are much more a UK concern. Mind you, looking more like Nemo than a Stingray may keep these on the shelf rather than harming anyone else’s sales.

    Is it meant to be clapton?

    Bump, this is 3 point (Casady/ripper/modern tbird/sg bass) version
  13. AndyTravis
    I think Ernie Ball will pull the plug on the 3+1
  14. AndyTravis
    Yeah - works for me
  15. AndyTravis
    Depends - if it gets used…it’ll be a while. If it doesn’t work out at the studio…prob end of January 😉

    Going recording next month and there’s a track begging for upright. I have a fretless I’ll be using live - but when I’ve been in this position before, needing an upright (without hiring/buying one) I’ve had good results close mic’ing an ABG with flats and a chunk of foam at the bridge. I’m also a dab hand at defrets if needed. This came up on marketplace just as the mother and father in law dropped off a card with cash in it… I’ve heard good things about this range - and as they’re £200 new, a used one half a mile away for decent price was a no brainer. Really decent little bass for £200 - I had some spare flats, and I have a roll of foam, so I set about making my “double bass”. Will also come in handy for some radio slots we have booked in. Happy Christmas to me 😂

    These fascinate me. Must have a go.

    Well. studio booked for January. i haven’t given up. even though i nearly did
  20. AndyTravis
    Came on a Gibson. I’ve gone back to the original because I’m a pedant. The bass was definitely louder acoustically with this on - and YES it makes setups and intonation drastically easier to improve. But I’m a Gimp. And there’s nowt I can do. All yours.

    Came with my Ripper. It’s not “right” (neck hovers a bit in it) so Will basically use the £100 towards a super duper case of some format. These are £140/150 and out of stock everywhere… I have a very clean one. As new. Collection preferred. Manchester M27 Will only trade if you’ve a Gibson bag - I had one until February last year…irony 🙄 Currently has tape on it for identification in the shop I got the bass from…but can take off if needed. Other than that, very clean.

    Had a sunburst one of the T-Birds, proper funk machine
  23. AndyTravis
    They’ve done some attempts…

    David sold me some d’addario strings. Absolutely ace! Many thanks x
  25. AndyTravis
    Vile. And the Godin a4/5 lookalikes are awful headstocks galore: The reason I’ve never owned one is the 4 aside 4+1 headstock, looks mental on an “acoustic”. 3+1 makes that even worse. oh well. more reasons not to buy a sire.
