Happy Jack Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) A new purchase means that something has to go, plus I temporarily have a carton suitable for posting a bass. This bass is a classic example of how there are no longer any 'bad basses'. Although a cheap bass originally and now being sold at a very knock-down price, this is as playable & reliable as most other basses and sounds like ... well, like a Thunderbird. You'd be hard put to tell this (sonically) from an Ibanez or even a Greco. Sad to relate, I now play almost exclusively 5-string basses and I'm finding it harder and harder to justify keeping any 4-string basses on the wall. This bass has been gigged a lot and has a couple of marks, one a rather annoying new chip in the paint which it only acquired at Xmas. On t'other hand, even at this price it will come with a proper Thunderbird gigbag. I really hate trusting even cheap basses to a courier and the postage cost relative to the cost of the bass is usually quite unreasonable, but I will if I have to. The price for that will be determined by the courier, not me. But I MUCH prefer to meet other Basschatters face to face, make sure that both parties like what they are getting by way of a deal before any money changes hands. The bass is in Harrow (NW London) and I have no problem with driving a sensible distance to deliver in person or at least to meet halfway.
