Mrs Gareth didn't need the car so I ran to B&Q to pick up a few bits, most importantly some 21mm square pine lengths for the internal reinforcement. They were out of stock on the auger needed for the hole saw, and a roundover router bit to my mild annoyance but I could still make progress. My cutting and gluing wasn't perfect, but was good enough and by this afternoon I'd made something that definitely looked like a box. It'll need a bit of wood filler on some of the joints, but overall, it's passable. I also busted out the router for the speaker hole on the front baffle. I drew a 26cm circle and cut 4 * 8mm holes into the wood as router bit starting guide, before realising that it should have been 23cm. Oops. A quick re-draw and re-drill, then out with the router to cut a (mostly) circular hole. The wrongly drilled holes line up almost perfectly with 4 of the holes for securing the speaker, so I got lucky there. The routed hole fits nice and snug but may need some more sanding tomorrow. Almost a cab!4 points

It's with real regret that i am putting this bass up for sale as i love the sound the feel of the neck and basically everything about it except the weight , it's just a little too heavy for me to play longer gigs with. I appreciate that this level of relic will not be to everbodys taste however this is another fine example of Marks work his pick ups are some of the best i've heard and these are no different, , the bass plays superbly below is the spec as outlined on Marks site as you can see it's got a lot of top quality components I've had this bass 6 months it's been gigged but not over used to be honest I've played it more at home . Forgot to add prefer a sale but may consider trade for a black, black , maple P Bass Limelight 00220 Heavy Relic Precision in sunburst with J width neck This Limelight Precision was built as a 68/69 bass and we went to town on the specs. It has all the usual Limelight features but in addition also has the metal earthing plates under the pick ups, an extra added Jazz pick up in the bridge position ( a very popular mod back in the day) plus the extra knob required and side mounted jack socket. It also has a genuine Fender nitro-cellulose pickguard which are over £100 to buy new! If this spec was to be ordered today then it would cost over £1150! I’m offering it at a good price as I currently have 3 Limelight’s for sale and in stock, and usually I have none, so quick sale required. The bass is very heavy relic sunburst, with “J” width rosewood fretboard with clay dots and rolled fretboard edges, and has the usual high quality components such as CTS pots, Switchcraft jack socket and vintage wiring. Price is firm and includes postage and a Hard case if you would like to collect from Wigan I'll reduce by £50 , The bass is not light i don't have an exact weight but it is in excess of 9lbs and probably wouldn't suit anyone like me who has a dodgy shoulder or back issues Happy to send more pictures if anyone wants any3 points -

I've had this one kicking around for many years, and posted on here a few times. Its a handmade/assembled thing. The body was handmade, probably rather crudely, but then the body was wrapped in adhesive soaked thin canvas (As used for artwork), then the paint applied to this. The neck i believe is from an old lawsuit Hondo replica, or similar, has nice pearloid trapeze inlays, and is very straight and well set. Since I've had it, its now got mostly original Ricky parts, TRC, tuners, tailpiece, scratchplate, pickups, pots, knobs etc. Looks ok, but could do with some TLC. I'm a big Mani fan, and its a bit of fun really, although its become quite an expensive one!! 🤣3 points

Fender CB100CE bass guitar. 9.5 /10 condition, virtually as new. Fitted Fishman preamp with built in tuner, sounds and plays great. Fender bronzewound strings. Comes with a gigbag too, great deal! No trades thanks. Cash on collection from just west of Hull, East Yorkshire, as I don't have much confidence in posting it without a hard case TBH. NOW SOLD (not on here though 🙁)3 points -
Ampeg PF-20T with flight case. As new with tags and original box. Absolutely mint with probably an hours use. Kinda want to keep it but need to be sensible and continue the clear out.2 points -
Lovely 5 string TUNE twx 5-string made in japan. Neck thru, 34 Scale, active/passive, 3-way p/up switch, Ebony fretboard, body top macassar ebony, body made out of mahogany, 5-piece maple neck with 2 walnut stripes. Abt. 4,5 kgs, very well balanced, currently strung with d'addario nickels 145 (!!!) to 45 - great bass for fusion and funk. Cuts thru very nicely in the mix. Will be prepared to pack it well and send it to europe/uK out of germany since I live close to the border - enjoy the photos - any questions please feel free to get in touch with me thru basschat. best regards from a Swiss bass fellow. PS: Even the photos were made in February 2019 - the bass looks still breathtanking today, no abuse here, well kept for studio and home use - let the pictures speak.2 points -

I recently saw a Ric Bass, I think it was a 4005, with a Jackson Pollock-ish paint job. I can't find it anywhere here in the threads. Anyone know the one I'm thinking of ? I built my son a Baritone a while back using that style finish, but now I'm having trouble with it curing properly.2 points

OK decision has been made and its time for a little confession. I own the rosewood one and I had the opportunity to swap it for the maple. I've decided to keep my own rosewood ray5. I was very fortunate to be allowed to hold onto the maple board ray5 for a week or so (many thanks Ian) but now having played it I realise that the darker tones do it for me, all be it by just the tiniest of margins. Both basses are spectacular and easily would be right at home in any gig. Many Thanks for all your great comments and input. I greatly appreciated them and they helped on my way Keep her lit low enders2 points

I am one of those that fell for his comedy charms in the Seventies. I didn't like his later, shouty, persona and,agreed, Magic Roundabout was very cheesy;However I loved his stand up stuff. I paid the princely sum of 50p to watch him live at the Nottingham Theatre Royal when he was at the height of his early stand up success and I thought he was brilliant. I'm sure it's not just you though that didn't find him funny!😊2 points

Sticking with the Ibanez theme, last year I impulse-bought a GSR200b that I picked up by chance in the ex-demo section at my local. No idea why it was languishing - I couldn’t find a mark on it - but it was very light and had a great feeling neck with really nicely finished frets, so for £140ish I had to take a chance on it. Despite my plans to swap the hardware and pickups for something more reassuringly expensive, when I actually got it home and put some decent strings on it, it turned out to sound really lively, stay in tune and be easy to adjust, so it’s staying exactly as it is! I know it’s well under 3kg (2.7kg rings a bell but I’d need to confirm that) so cheap, decent, long scale and lightweight solid-body basses are out there, if somewhat rare.2 points

I think the hardest thing is to make an honest assessment of your own playing. In the last few weeks two people have said exactly this to me, one a guitarist the other a bassist. I have no idea how my own playing measures up; I know I'm not completely crap and I'm certain I'm far from being a virtuoso. I don't think I've learned anything that gets rated as harder than 'intermediate' on the tab sites! I comfort myself by claiming to be 'competent'... The truth is, 50% of bass players are below average!* Beginners will always over-estimate their abilities - because that's true of human beings in almost any learning situation, but being below average doesn't mean you are crap, and its more important to encourage beginners than criticise them, not least because the right encouragement might see them become a virtuoso. *ish.2 points

Hi, Looking to sell my Bag End S15X-D. I thought this day would never come as it sounds amazing and despite it's size, kicks out an extremely loud and full sound with a great amount of treble for a 15" cab. As it's not been used since my band moved to in-ears and I need the space, I'm afraid it has to go. It's in good condition and full working order and comes with a fitted Roqsolid cover. This is the version with the Coaxial driver that includes a 15” cone for lows and mids, a crossover network, and a 1” titanium diaphragm compression driver for extending the high frequency response. Due to it's size, I would prefer collection from Leeds area, but I can travel to meet a buyer half way dependant on location. Cheers, Nick My feedback:1 point -

I had one of these kicking around for a while. It was truly a great bass and everything in your listing rings true. sustain was awesome with barely a dead spot. pickups were thunderous and the action went really low without buzz problems. Hardware was solid as a rock. And shockingly cheap for what you get! GLWTS.1 point -

Hotel hobbies padding dawn's hollow corridors, Bell-boys checking out the hookers in the bar Slug-like fingers trace the star-spangled clouds of cocaine on the mirror, The short straw took its bow. The tell-tale tocking of the last cigarette, Marking time in the packet as the whisky sweat Lies like discarded armour on an unmade bed, And a familiar craving is crawling in his head And the only sign of life is the ticking of the pen, Introducing characters to memories like old friends Frantic as a cardiograph scratching out the lines, A fever of confession, a catalogue of crime In happy hour Do you cry in happy hour? Do you hide in happy hour? The pilgrimage to happy hour New shadows tugging at the corner of his eye, jostling for attention As the sunlight flares through a curtains tear, Shuffling its beams as if in nervous anticipation Of another day 'Hotel Hobbies', Marillion from the Clutching At Straws album, IMO their finest hour1 point

When everything goes wrong, you see some bad But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood You know sometimes, baby I'm so carefree Oh, with a joy that's hard to hide And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry And then you're bound to see my other side But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood If I seem edgy I want you to know I never mean to take it out on you Life has its problems And I get more than my share But that's me one thing I never mean to do 'Cause I love you Oh, baby, I'm just human Don't you know I have faults like anyone? Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing Some simple thing that I've done 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard so please don't let me be misunderstood No, no, no, please1 point
