    I had my lightbulb stolen from its socket last week. It's a 2010 natural daylight bulb, so very distinguished and quite rare. I'm quite upset about it as I need it to see wtf I'm doing at night. If anyone should see it for sale anywhere please let me know immediately Thanks.

    I'm located in a small shanty town on the Mid Wales border in the 3rd world county of Herefordshire , though I may already have an impending sale at the moment.

    Thanks for reminding me about the bridge hooky ! I hate the brass saddle thing, I remember selling off the Wilkinson bridge ages ago and replaced with another one. I will amend the ad , might even knock a bit off the price.

    The Gretsch for sure.. superb basses for the money, and will certainly perform well for those styles of music. Also one to consider especially for Reggae is an Epiphone EB-0 …. if you want lots of bass, that will do it !

    Last of my current crop of basses to sell in my "Need-to-fund-another-Gretsch-Junior Jet- Bass-before-I-get-made-redundant-next-week" mega sale. This is a Vintage V90 Reissued series bass in beautiful Candy Apple Red Finish... it is in pretty much perfect condition. 42mm nut, 34" scale . Everything is good functionality wise. It is a passive plug and play bass and comes fitted with Wilkinson tuners and cool pickups. I don't think Vintage make this model now as far as I can tell. The controls are volume, tone, pickup blend and a unique roll control which allows you to go from humbucker to single coil sounds due to the design of the pickups... Just for honesty and accuracy ,It's a fairly lightweight basswood body with maple neck, so very easy to handle, and though it has a bit of neck dive when on the lap , it's fine on a decent strap thanks to the long top horn. It has a medium low action, and it may benefit from a bit of further setting up and better quality strings fitted. At this price and condition it would be maybe a great gift for a youngster, or perhaps someone is involved in a local music project looking for a nice but well priced bass.... or maybe you just fancy it yourself! As these were sold for around 250- 300 new, I would like the asking price which is pretty fair … and includes 48hr courier to UK MAINLAND. Cheers James. ** EDIT to advert: The original Wilkinson bridge was replaced , I will accept £110.00 inc postage to UK ** can't say fairer than that. Note : As usual the cheap crappy brown carpet is NOT included in this sale, I will not accept offers on it however desperate you are to have it.

    Hi Mr 'ting, Around the 10lbs mark as a rough estimate. Sorry I don't have scales to weigh it accurately. Cheers James.

    Due to impending redundancy next week and wanting to be able to fund another Gretsch Junior Jet bass Im selling my LTD Les Paul "yes its good for metal" bass . 34" scale Les Paul Style bass with nice modern tone, possibly a nice little upgrade project for someone. 40mm nut, truss rod works, everything good and in excellent used condition. Not a lot else to say about it, very slick and definitely a good modern tone to this one. Setup with a nice low action but could do with some new strings. Takes a 9V battery as it has active preamp... controls are : volume, pickup balancer, bass + treble cut n boost. Not asking a lot for what it is and will include a 48hr courier to UK MAINLAND persons. Note its currently on ebay with a few watchers so if you want it pm me ! Note: Cheap brown carpet not included. Cheers James.

    Due to impending job redundancy next week, I would like to be able to fund another Gretsch Junior Jet , so... Here is my Tokai Love Rock 32" scale Les Paul Bass in Cherry Burst finish. 40mm nut , truss rod ok, built to rock, new D'addario 32" scale strings fitted, nice low action.I have also added a new bone nut which is not currently glued in but sits well as is at the moment. It is in excellent used condition , though there are a couple of smallish black marks in the finish though are not too noticeable and on the top side of bass. It is a heavy beast so not for the faint hearted, near to a typical Les Paul weight. I would like £200 for it, and that is inclusive of a 48hr courier to UK MAINLAND. Its currently on ebay for a bit more than this. I will consider close offers!

    D'Addario Pro Steels IMO are the brightest, and also nicest feeling round wound strings. Come in various gauges and under £25.00 👍

    I joined 2007 so been around a good while 😮 .I don't feel I have a lot to add to most discussions, though I have tried to put more effort in the last 12 months or so! ... I will either give input on stuff if I think it is genuinely helpful to someone, or I will make stupid useless comments in an attempt to be amusing depending on my mood. 🤪

    Thanks to the likes of YouTube and seeing how many excellent players there really are out there, most of which have barely learnt not to sh*t in their nappies, I find it depressing how good I should be for someone who has played close to 30 years , but how lacking I actually am in terms of technical ability.... the actual *sound* of me playing?.... well bass to my ears just generally goes boom boom boom , so nah dun really give a feck about that bit.. 🤪

    Probably these 3 for me as a "bass player". 2112 showed me how upfront and melodic bass can be, Back In Black taught me the importance of great timing and being a solid part of the rhythm section, Power and The Glory showed me how to combine the 2 things....and IMO not a weak track to be found on any of those albums.

    "Tecuciztecatl" is the sound my cat makes when she coughs up furballs….well either that or "maruszczyk" 👌

    £500- £1000 + = "laminate construction " £50- £500 = "plywood" 😉

    EB-3 is 18mm string spacing and 38mm nut if I remember correctly. I have not had the Epiphone long scale version, but have had the limited edition short scale and a Revelation short scale EB3 copy... for me that's what the EB3 is about....short scale that produces thumpy, fundamental meaty bass tones, with a big dollop of bass, bass errr… and more bass... and the awesome look! The little pickup helps to cut through somewhat, but P bass "clank".....nah.. not really their thing. As mentioned, they can produce their own uniquely aggressive barky sound. The bridge pickup used by itself is not that great IMO, though is that not how Jack Bruce used his Gibson to get "that" sound ?

    Korean Epiphone Les Paul Special Bass and Gretsch Junior Jet II.

    …. spare groupies in case there's none at the gig or the ones there are found to be faulty.

    Thanks Basvarken , I was starting to think it may just be me and a few tumbleweeds in this topic! Some lovely LP basses there, can't decide on the nicest so will say pretty much all of them are awesome. I was hoping to find one of those Revelation RLB's for sale somewhere but gave up waiting in the end. I had their EB-3 copy for a while, loved it but think it was sold on a needs must basis.The RLB certainly looks the part. Can you get a good range of tones from them like with the Gibson? I'll just throw my ex-2005 Les Paul in to pad the topic out a bit!

    Not exactly Boris The Spider is it ? While it was easy to pass judgement before as there was only one version to detest... now it seems that another previous version already had the damn nerve to exist...! this now makes it more complicated as there is a choice , so i'll play it safe and say they are both equally awful in their own uninspired way.
