I've got my heart set on a headless bass, most likely something cheap like a Washburn or a Hohner Jack. There's one song in particular that requires the E to go down to D. Normally that's just a turn of the tuner and I'm good to go but having never ever had my hands on a headless bass before, how quickly can that be done on a headless? Ideally I would like one with one of those detuning bridge thingies with the lever but in case I can't get one i thought I'd ask the question

I think there's still a silver one for sale here for £150. Have a look, I think its still available

I've not long had this as it was meant to be used for the project I was working on involving using all kinds of MIDI gubbins and synths but its not happening so I don't need it any more. Its a 6 string, active 2 band EQ, bolt-on neck and gold hardware. The output jack wasn't 100% so I've replaced it with a Neutrik one and its all tickety boo. Considering I play a Thunderbird with a neck like a pencil, the string spacing and neck dimensions on this are pretty good. Its quite narrow but still very playable. probably more along the lines of an Ibanez SR1016 I used to have as opposed to the ironing board Yamaha TRB6 I used to have. There's a wee bit of neck dive but I've yet to play a 6er that doesn't have it a bit of it but a good neoprene or suede strap takes care of the worst of it. It will come in a decent gig bag and £135 gets it delivered to your door for mainland UK. It will probably be a bit more for Ireland, Europe etc. Photbucket is being a pain - despite making sure that they were the right way up before uploading them, they appeared the wrong way up on Photobucket so I rotated them again only to find out that when I link to them they're still all over the place.

I don't like Fenders and I don't like sunburst finishes so why do I love this bass so much? To me it looks like the stubby little brother of the Bass V.

I reported it so maybe it gets pulled while they look at it

Just listened to it now and its terrible. But name me a band that still does great songs 20-30 years down the line? Like many other bands, they mellow with age, the songs get more poppy and happy clappy, all their best ideas have already been recorded, they don't do the drugs that they used to. I mean look at the Stones, they should've jacked it in 30 years ago. This is all, of course, my personal opinion. Plus I'm full of beer

[quote name='SisterAbdullahX' post='1349997' date='Aug 24 2011, 10:18 AM']The majority of the squillions out there cost between 1 and 3 thousand pounds. This one costs 300 pounds.

Bought a Sonuus B2M. Absolutely flawless transaction. Quick as you like and well wrapped.

Absolutely right. If you're playing a small gig it will normally only have a vocal PA and a large one ill have a full PA. I use the same gear regardless of venue and its never let me down, its just not trendy.

Digging that modern modeonham bosimyeon Woooooo, a Jazz bass. There's not many different versions of that is there? Sorry but I just cannot get excited about another jazz bass copy to go with the squillions already out there

Have a look at some of the 8ohm v 4ohm threads

pain in the backside should you snap a string or even during general string changes. The only one that Leo got right was the first Precision one cos you could restring the bass with the cover on.

Had a few more ideas for trades but I doubt someone will have exactly all or some of this to trade for this bass: Headset vocal mic Tech 21 VT Bass Phaser pedal Trace 2103H 2x10" Bass Chorus or Chorus that works well with bass I'll add more to the list when I can think of more stuff that i might need

Ah well, might as well jump in on this resurrected thread. I'm a lover of all things Epiphone but every single one of their basses neck dive to some extent. The EB-3 that I have up for trade here would have it if you used a cheap and nasty slippy strap coated in Mazola but even with a simple suede Levys strap it still sits with the headstock slightly higher than horizontal.

I literally bought this a couple of weeks ago second hand to do one gig which I've done. I needed something that looked quite 60s and although the Thunderbird was out in the 60s it doesn't look 60s. From the serial it looks like a 2009 Made in China model. To be honest I don't see any difference in contruction, finish or playability between the Korean ones and the Chinese ones. Its actually quite scary how good the Chinese are at making stuff. Anyway specs are that it has a mahogany body with a mahogany set neck and rosewood fretboard Controls are as per Rickenbacker with a separate volume and tone for each string and a 3 way pickup selector to choose between neck pickup only, neck and bridge and bridge only. With the neck pickup soloed it does a mighty Animals “We’ve got to Get Out of This Place” sound. With bridge pickup only it sounds remarkably honky like a Jazz bass. With both pickups it sounds very nice. A good balance of deep, rich bass and nice, clear midrange. Using a normal Levys suede strap it balances very well which surprised me when I had one of these before as i thought it would immedaitely try to head for the floor Condition is nigh on perfect. If you hold the back of the body up to the light you can see some very faint scratches on the very top of the surface. other than that I can't see anything else. I could easily have said that it was new and no one would have been any the wiser. It comes with a basic gig bag that's a bit of a squeeze to get the headstock in due to the big headstock and 2 a side full size tuners but it does fit, just. open to trades as well - see below

Its surprisingly cheaper than you would think to courier a cab. Going by the dimensions and weight [url="http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/80301560.pdf"]here[/url] and allowing for cardboard round it adding to the dimensions and weight I've just got a quote from interparcel for £6.99 + VAT Its their economy service and is normally UPS that collects and delivers it.
