And now, a true collectors' bass. GLWTS -
I agree! Despite all I have said, I'm still a sucker for a nice Thumb Bass. I could see me ignoring all good sense and buying one like that example. I once nearly inadvertantly got given one by the Bass Centre in Wapping when I bought a gig bag and someone had very thoughtfully left a brand new Thumb fretless inside. For a moment I thought they might have been so impressed by my playing they were forcing an endorsement on me. However, honest to a fault, I alerted the shop to their generous oversight and gave them their bass back.

I reckon it's a dead-ringer for Davros.

A rare premium Ibanez sound gear 6 string bass guitar. Made in Indonesia. If you are looking at this, you know how good they are! this one comes with the original hardcase, a strap and the manual. I tried to take enough photos to show some bumps but the neck is perfect and playability is superb. Strung with flatwounds so no need to ever change them! Reason for selling is only because 4 strings is more than enough for me and I am doing a clear out! Collection only! No trades unfortunately... -
It's a tough crowd here.

This is a gorgeous Blueburst G&L. What could be nicer than a Fender and a Musicman fused into something better? Active with a maple neck, amazing for slapping and all around a very versatile and beautiful instrument. Made in USA. Comes with an original G&L hardcase. Collection only! No trades unfortunately...

Edited the topic and reduced the price to £1300 based on the new information, not sure how to edit the price. Thanks for helping out! -
Utter bargain price on the Gemini. -
No need to 'shuffle', you could have borrowed a car and driven away.

Thank you. Hangs head in embarrassment and quietly shuffles off to the corner.

Apologies the late responses to PMs. I’ve been travelling back from a wedding this weekend. I’ll try to get to the PMs later tonight. -

My frends really awful band - advice needed

I always say the only praise that counts is from fellow musicians. By the same token, criticism from musicians is worth listening to. If you are going to criticise, keep it to one or two clear points. A friend asked me what I thought of his band who supported us the weekend before last. I said basically you were far too loud, especially one guitarist - I couldn't hear your bass. He said "yes, he soundchecks at sensible volume ten turns it up when we start". -
I occasionally trawl through the Facebook Musicians available page for our part of the country, and it’s filled with duo’s and solo singers who play along to backing tracks . The big advantage is they can fit into the corner of small pubs / eateries and provide background music /entertainment. Bigger bands need bigger venues , generally come with noisy guitarists /power drummers and generally need to be paid more . Payment over here on the Isle of Wight has always been poor , your lucky if you can get £200 for a gig , so going out as a five piece band does not allow you to quit your day job . Having played in two duos , ( No backing tracks ) the whole gig experience is much easier from accepting bookings ( without wondering if the drummer will turn up ) setting up / breaking down and interaction with the audience. Plus you get a bigger share of the gig money . -
Google chrome is also a MIDI-capable browser so if you have that open, that would also cause the editor to not communicate.

Yeah, I kinda of thought about it but don't like messing folks around. I've bought several basses off them before, the most recent being in June. I guess there is no reason why I shouldn't give it a try 🤔However I'd really like to know if someone has played these and whether they're any good?

OMG that is truly something to behold.. Wonderful, quirky, and probably sounds awesome. Congratulations on your superb new baby, enjoy 👏👏👏

They did do a limited edition one a couple of years back that did have the proper Thumb body shape, where the horns were the right length - they should have changed all the bolt-on Thumbs to look like this: My dream Warwick would be a Streamer set up like a Thumb, which they've done. I'd just want a sixer! Sorry for the digression... back to Bongos now.

+1 on the L2 I just personally didn’t like the neck, narrow 38mm nut and quite a deep profile (IMO) I read somewhere Ned made it like that on Stanley Clarke’s advice🤷♂️ an absolute design masterpiece, I just sold mine as there’s so many other ‘itch’s to scratch’🤣

Do you know any gangsters? You could shop them and get on a witness protection programme.
