    2 used sets bass vi strings. Plenty life in them. [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/IMAG0480.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG0480.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Rotosound custom gauge (24, 30, 38, 47, 78, 100) Fender set (24,34, 44, 56, 72, 84) I prefer the la Bella flats on my vi, so these are available. Sold together, great if you fancy trying some differing gauges or mixing them up to find what you like. But also handy for spares. The Rotos' are a custom set, so not available retail. £20 for the 2 sets posted.

    [quote name='bladebass' timestamp='1452531091' post='2950872'] £500? Anyone? [/quote] I've owned 2 B4s from same period. Incredibly flexible preamp, excellent Japanese build and an ebony board that your fingers glide over. I had to sell at a time of severe financial pressure. Really miss mine. I think they suffer from not having a known name on the headstock. If I compare what other basses go for on here, I would say it's worth every penny of original asking price. Latest asking price is daft. GLWS

    Nells Jazz & Blues bar week before Christmas. These days I keep a chiropractor next to the stage to help me back up. Sorry the bass isn't as clear in the pic. Its a 1979 Kramer 450 and is so heavy, the chiropractor is required after each gig anyway :-) [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/Hollywood%20killers/FB_IMG_1450554924594_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/Hollywood%20killers/FB_IMG_1450554924594_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Been very impressed each time I've played one of these. Yours is a great looker too! GLWS

    Yup, other instruments definitely open up your musical horizons. or.......Bass vi...... ;-)

    Hey Frannie, whereabouts in Dorset are you? Interested in Shuttle.
  8. oldslapper
    May I suggest trying a squier bass vi? I think you'd find it a lot of fun. I love mine.

    [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1451253890' post='2939157'] What a lovely thing to add to a thread that is clearly a minor homage to her talent. I loved it. [/quote] To be fair, the poster might have been referring to himself, given the use of the hyphen. I'm sure there's no-one shallow enough on here to allow their prejudice views of addicts to influence their musical tastes. I enjoy her singing, and her take on covers. These Beatles covers being no exception. Thanks for sharing it. :-)

    Another satisfied bassdirect customer. Emailed BD Sunday afternoon to check stock of some strings (which were £14 cheaper than anywhere else in the uk!). Not expecting a reply until Monday sometime. Mark got back to me that afternoon, strings arrived this morning. I've bought a 5 string Warwick and a genz combo over the past few years. And it's the same excellent service no matter what you spend. John

    TRADED
  14. oldslapper
    Tentative bump. Very well made guitar, enjoying playing it, but think I'm too traditional. P or J types, maybe squier vi.in trade. Or cash offer.
  15. oldslapper
    Cheers fellas! Jim, what's your view of the bass vi as a bass in itself?
  16. oldslapper
    TRADED Hohner 6 string bass. Excellent condition. Neck through, active/passive. Very low action. These basses are very well made and worth more than current market value imho. Got major gas for a more traditional bass, or a bass vi. [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/IMAG0123.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG0123.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/IMAG0122.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG0122.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/IMAG0121.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG0121.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Freshly strung with nickel wounds, comes with spare used set. Will throw in new leather strap. Case not included. Only after trades at this stage for 4 string Precision or Jazz bass of a Fender style. Or a squier vi. I'm in Bath, but would be prepared to meet up at a reasonable distance for the right deal.

    Bowie....dividing opion, illiciting strong(ish) feelings both ways....and most importantly, people are talking about him. Back to his best.

    Level 42, Hammersmith Odeon, sometime in the 1980's is the only gig I've ever walked out of. Terrific musicians, but dull songs, dull performance, all sounded the same to me. I lasted 4 tunes in. ....there, I've said it.

    [quote name='phil.c60' timestamp='1447663434' post='2909236'] Hope this is in the right place - sorry if it isn't. On at least two occasions, including right now, things have been posted for sale and appear on the right on the market place page, but when I click on them I get a message saying "[#10340] you don't have permission to view this topic" I'd just like to know what it means! [/quote] It could be a message from your other half

    I had a thunder llla during the mid eighties. My memory of it is that I toured twice with it over a Stingray. It was a great bass, well made, flexible pre amp. However, like my hair at the time, it didn't balance too well.
