New (second hand) Bass Day

[dazza14]

Managed to pick up a second hand Jim Deacon from e-bay and the little blighter has arrived safe and sound from 'sunny' Scotland! [attachment=177268:P1070064.JPG] The auction stated the neck had a split, and it does, but when I put the strings under tension to test it, it was ok, yes it has a slight bend, but it didn't shatter into a hundred shards of wood - it's now on ebay minus the machine heads. The bass is a dark pink with sparkly bits in it (so... um, metallic pink I suppose) and a mint green scratchplate. [attachment=177269:P1070065.JPG] [attachment=177270:P1070065.JPG] Overall i'm very happy, I wanted a bass that my kids could knock about and twist the knobs and keys without any worry of them breaking anything - including themselves - and, both being girls, they love the colour. Now just searching for a replacement neck and i'll be playing it. [attachment=177271:P1070068.JPG] [attachment=177272:P1070069.JPG] Not bad for a cheeky bid of £26!!

Cool price!

My 2nd ever bass was a (passive) Jim Deacon Stingray copy, funnily enough, bought in Scotland when I was at Uni in Aberdeen.

Sold it for about £40 some years back.....I did okay then!
