    I don't listen to much at home; Radio 3 late at night, and stuff I'm allegedly trying to learn. I don't know why not; when I was 20 I couldn't turn it off. I'm beginning to feel that I've stopped hearing it, and I think that's mostly because I'm trying to play; my ear is different now.

    Never heard of basses with this branding, but apparently they were made at Kawai. I wouldn't know. Sadly, the thing has a deeply naff name... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schaller-Rockoon-Bass-Japan-Vintage-/281803652262?hash=item419cce7ca6

    £229 is over the odds, I reckon. £150's as much as I'd expect one to fetch.

    It does look Peavey-ish, but probably not that recent? If I was anywhere near Leicester I'd go and have a look... anyone anywhere near it?

    Hideous, IMO.

    Too many strings...

    A mystery to me. (Apart from the neck dive, which anyone who's ever played a bass will instantly predict...) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Selmer-Electric-Bass-Jazz-Guitar-/141775534172?hash=item21027af85c

    Huge bargain. Someone nab it, quick...

    I think this Ibanez Silver Cadet must be Japanese-made. I've not run across one before: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vinatge-80s-Ibanez-Silver-Cadet-bass-guitar-rare-/131603091995?hash=item1ea427d21b"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1ea427d21b[/url]

    I'd reply, I hope. I won't say I definitely have always done so, but I do try.

    I love the look of it, but I''d never play it.

    [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1442177577' post='2864972'] EDIT: Beatbass, 1975 Jazz Bass, and 4 string fretless acoustic all sold out. Anyone get something this time round? [/quote] Too skint
  14. alyctes
    JB-75s and Beatbasses now up...

    Cool

    Rob bought some pickups from me. No issues, good deal, I'd be pleased to deal with him again.

    I sold Dunc some strings. He's been a gentleman throughout and I'd be pleased to deal with him again.

    [quote name='philw' timestamp='1442062394' post='2864181'] I wonder if a Fender neck could be persuaded to fit? I'd buy a green Talman tomorrow if I thought the spare maple fingerboard Squire neck I have lying around would go on it. [/quote] Indeed. Could we persuade the OP to do some measuring, please?

    [quote name='rjs1909' timestamp='1441980381' post='2863509'] They had two big hits in Australia, this one and Hungry Town. Both great songs, even if they were quite similar to each other. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOQfmSIEs5k[/media] [/quote] I bought the album.

    [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1441914130' post='2862976'] £720 for a Westone Rail? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-The-Rail-Bass-Guitar-80s-headless-bass-Matsumoku-Japan-/111768452655?hash=item1a05eb3e2f"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1a05eb3e2f[/url] [/quote] Seller is (probably self-)deluded. I love Rails, but really...

    Bohemian Rhapsody.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1441895634' post='2862751'] Nellie The Elephant by that band, whose name I've forgotten. [/quote] Toy Dolls. Their reading of Blue Suede Shoes is a minor epic, and its timing is glorious

    IIUC Harley Benton is the Thomann house brand.
