    Sign of the times innit matey. I've been looking at this a lot as I love Sterlings, played on a few but never owned one surprisingly. Its so tempting to pull the trigger but you just don't know whats around the corner financially wise. I could be jobless in a months time, its just such a shytey time.

    Wow, glad I don't play 5 stringers else I'd be in serious trouble with 'the boss'.

    Due to immense boredom I though I'd give my dusty cab a clean and I noticed this. Several screws holding the driver in are missing on one driver and 1 screw missing from another driver. Not just missing but clearly they were never fitted. I bought this cab second hand last year and only ever having quiet home use it's never caused an issue. Years ago I owned and used two of these ProLine 4x10s and owned other EBS cabs. Never had any issues with them, all were outstanding cabs. I'm just a little surprised at this oversight from EBS, and a little surprised that I've only just spotted this!

    Enjoyed that bass line, wouldn't mind having a crack at playing it. But what a nice guy (and fantastic player)!

    Newish set of TI Flats fitted to my Precision bass. Been on for about 3 weeks and not used much. I tried to get on with them but the gauge just don't feel right so I've replaced them with La Bella flats. Price includes UK postage.

    I had no ability or interest in playing a guitar or any other musical instrument when I was young. My parents ran a pub when I was a teenager and a regular customer played in a band and had done for many years. He was pretty much a stereotypical rock 'n roller. Loge hair, leather jacket, big personality and great fun to be around. So probably one day he asked me if I was interested in playing and the answer would have been no. I remember trying to play a few chords on a guitar in a music lesson at school and just thinking 'meh', can't be bothered. So knowing that I couldn't be arsed with these awkward fiddly chords he arrived with this old knocked together bass guitar and handed it to me. Something must have clicked upstairs from having no interest in anything to near obsession with this bass guitar. I could plug it in to my Toshiba hifi and play along to records picking out the bass line. I then borrowed his WEM valve combo, saved enough money to by my first bass (Westone) then my first amp and speaker and after working throughout the summer holiday I earned enough to by my first Fender Precision. 32 Years later....

    Just bought a Fodera off Al. Really friendly guy to deal with who couldn't be more helpful. The bass was packed perfectly. Couldn't be more happier with the bass and transaction.

    I was a USA one. I can only guess the seller required a fast sale hence the very low price.

    Couldn't resist.

    After a weeks worth of agonising I have decided to put this beauty up for sale/trade. After a recent big bass purchase I need to recoup some funds. This in an excellent example of a late 70's Precision. All original apart form the pickup ashtray and comes with a fitted flight case. Weight is 10 Lbs 6 oz according to my kitchen scales. Since I got it last year It's left the house only once and apart from some flat wounds fitted its in exactly in the same shape as when I got my hands on it. Original listing here: I love this bass but needs must. I'd take a trade on a bass with a max value of around £800 but a straight sale would be better. I'd only be interested in a US Jazz, Sandberg, Lakland, Musicman etc. I really need to lower my credit card balance! So try me, I can only say no. The bass will be shipped insured to UK only addresses. Please PM me if outside UK. Heres a few more pictures, any more required please ask. Thanks. Paul

    Not a clue I'm afraid. They were on the bass when I bought it.

    These are Hipshot replacements. I’ll have to take a closer look at the vintage style replacements. If they’ll fit without making too much of a mess I still might put some on as I think it would make the bass look so much better.

    I've owned 3 Thumb basses, 2 being from the late eighties. The vintage Thumbs are a world apart! Never had an issue with neck dive or a problem with the weight, even playing long sets with them. I love the 'organic' feel to them and the body is a work of art, like a beautiful wooden sculpture and the necks are perfection. Being a big bloke they did look tiny on me but the curved body did rest comfy on the beer gut. 👍
