  1. A feeler at this stage - but that’s more than likely a sign. I’m pretty much shutting up shop for a bit. And I have 2 basses I’ll never sell. So I’m going to put this up. Its one of the 1990’s Burners - they’re awesome basses. This is my second. I paid stupid money to get it from Switzerland about 3 months ago. It comes with a Tan Ken Smith Strap. The case it came in was torn etc so just went to the skip (was non original generic case). I have a nice reunion blues semi rigid case I can add in for a bit extra. it has some little marks - near the treble horn, a little mark on the forearm area and a minor scuff near the strap button. But for 29/30 years old - very very clean. light, about 8lbs. skinny neck, low action; clean hifi sounds. active/passive…and that’s it.
  2. Ok. That did what I wanted it to. Energised.
  3. This is knocking about on social media… a proper 4005 reissue may be in the offing. Love this in Autumnglo/Montezuma brown. Doubt it’ll be much under £6k and I don’t have that kind of cash.
  4. Yeah. When the ego doesn’t match the ability…that was the killer for me. Not even ability, as such - just knowing limitations or range. The drummers point was that some specific coaching would improve things. That was taken as a personal dig - and worsened the situation. I’d love to put something out…but I’m not feeling overly optimistic at the moment. Id love to feedback tomorrow and say I’m reenergised.
  5. Ah yeah. Took a while off. Haven’t played much at all recently… Sold a big cab, got a little Epifani. And meeting a singer/guitarist with drummer tomorrow. Drummer has just bought a massive building project in Chester and is chewed up with that - but he wants to carry on and is happy to do that drive to Manchester every week. I’ve taken on a new job…and been converting my garage. So I’ve been a bit busy. See what tomorrow brings. I’m not really bothered either way. The need to do it isn’t there. Which after 25 or so years is a bit of a weird feeling.
  6. Sorry - I missed this - it’s still here
  7. My 414 needs a tickle with a luthier. i had 1024 and the 414 won. depends what you’re after
  8. Yeah please - PM incoming
  9. My old one… really want it back. Blummin skint. 🤬
  10. Yeah, I’d rather have vt and switch with old school surrounds etc
  11. The headstock design doesn’t fit with the body shape; I do like the look of them. Wouldn't want to play a bass with a bag over its head.
  12. https://yamahaguitardevelopment.com/2022/09/27/ygd-custom-shop-bobby-dall-custom-bb-basses/ FFS NICE!
  13. Think 414/415/614/615 is single action truss.
  14. Balls. want. Wrong time! FUME
  15. played Telfords a good while ago, was an ace venue.
  16. I can’t pretend to understand…but I can bloody admire.
  17. Yeah - my stingray 5 sales are still making my eyes wet…
  18. Yeah - there’s always a chance pal. currently in a “I’m going to give up and live in a shed” mood.
  19. Yeah. Very cool. Lovely neck on it x
  20. Second one I’ve owned. First one was sold due to a messy separation… took 11 years for the cash/one for sale arrived…
  21. NSD New settee day… and the footstool is bass sized!
  22. That’s me out then….
  23. Timekeeping. Dynamics. Sense of Humour. Tick tick metronome who can do quiet and loud at the right time and laughs at knob and fart gags. write it up - I’ll have hundreds queuing around the block. In fact, I already have him…he’s called max…
