It's nice to show gratitude.

Initially found this site by accident as I was taking up bass again. Sold a Squier I'd had as a seed fund towards another bass. Bought 2 basses and an amp since from here. Sold both basses at a small loss after improving them to make sure I shifted them on. Look upon it as a 2 month rental or trial period that I would not get at a shop. Still got the amp and have got rid of my craving for a named bass (for now) to gleefully bash my Yamaha BB! I was very cagey over my first sale as I struggled with the trust concept after ebay experiences. Couldn't believe it when the buyer sent cash in a recorded delivery bag! Good site I visit at least 5 times a week if I can to drool over the basses of others. Met 7string too - great guy. Had really good advice from one of those you might suspect of being active commercially but I have never felt as stupid as to buy anything above the odds! Wish I was a commercial trader of basses!

I have the black flake matching headstock BB414 although I would prefer the orange one! Really solid basses and more consistent and versatile than the equivalent fenders.

Good stuff mate - all good but I do love Firth of Fifth! I s that Pino Palladino........on lead guitar?

That is an ideal piece of wood!

Absolute stormer of a bass!

Expert? Us? Move alomg! Welcome!

If it's only a back up, buy a Steinberger Spirit and stick it down your trousers beside your ferret.

Like SteveK said, thumb and fingers for the dum diddy dum diddy parts is the way to go. Don't know how it was done originally though.[/quote] Looks like he's playing in his office! Probably a lawyer or a Headteacher who skins a big salary and twangs the plank all day instead!

Bass - great! Trainers -

Stunner - leave as is.

Unfortunately, he has shipped it as described. You'd probably have to show negligence via previous correspondence agreeing to a better form of packing. I have shipped using a case but tried my best to wrap and cushion the inside around the plank.

TYpe REM live into YouTube and there are tons of great vids with his P-bass Ampeg rig. Great basic sound.
