    Thanks for the writeup Nut's too wide for my liking, but everything else sounds fab. Good job Retrovibe!

    hmmm. Wonder if the trussrod's working... cheap source of a nice slim neck

    I'm surprised this is still here...

    That's completely bonkers. I like it

    Interesting six-bolt neckplate. My bitsa P-style fretless has a six-bolt plate; people seemed to think it might be a Kay, but this says maybe not. Its pup doesn't deliver anything like the output you're talking about though

    Stlll skint, still too many basses.
  7. alyctes
    Definitely looks the part

    I do like the 2+3 headstock... not that I play fives, mind you Looks like a good deal!

    I'm not clear whether this is an SGC Nanyo MIJ Bass Collection or something later; it needs more photos; seller says 1989. But it might be a good deal, if you're in reach of Scunthorpe. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bass-guitar-and-amp-/131549803800?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1ea0fab518

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1436470421' post='2818477'] My thoughts exactly but this week the mantra is " don't need another P bass, don't need another red bass, don't need another Peavey bass " [/quote] Yup

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1436471734' post='2818499'] Alyctes why not the adorable Dean in Nuclear Green ? I've had to stop myself from getting one many times [attachment=195956:Dean Green.jpg] But then I've my fair share like this [attachment=195957:B20 (2).jpg] or this[attachment=195958:Wesely Plexi.jpg] [/quote] I don't like the green, but it's not actually god-awful... (I don't mind the crackly Washburn or the mauve perspex job, though the pointy headstocks don't help...)

    I have a red Fury like that. Skinny neck, and really aggressive pup. Certainly worth £100 IMO

    [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1436305486' post='2817003'] Buckle rash not a problem here but cheese grater belly (or worse) might be... [/quote] Belt buckle might be a problem... snag a string and PING!

    [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1436029484' post='2814470'] Bad? I am disappointed that is in the states or I would be bidding! [/quote] Here you go... one in London: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dean-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Custom-Zone-Florescent-Pink-NEW-/281651474626?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4193bc70c2 and its nearly-as-horrible sister: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dean-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Custom-Zone-Yellow-NEW-/271827679160?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4a3137b8

    I bet the neck's proper uncomfortable. But I guess you might get used to it.

    [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1436285118' post='2816749'] Okay, the bottom string is 0.317" gauge. That's eight millimetres! [size=4]You could make [u]trussrods[/u] out of that.[/size] [/quote] I showed it to my son, and he said you'd have to play it with a mallet. Maybe it's a hammer dulcimer in drag?

    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1436295610' post='2816881'] I would like to say to anyone who may be put off by a ply body that I bought one and made a bitsa bass with a fender usa pup and the sound is fantastic! Couldn't believe it. Now I use it quite often. It even has my name on the headstock: 'Legend' Seriously though they can sound really good. Have a bump. [/quote] Speaking as someone who bought a MusicDrive bass because its initials are the same as mine, I thank you for the gen and the bump
  18. alyctes
    That's definitely different

    I quite like the Antiguaburst. Also, my PC desktop is burgundy mist, or a good approximation to it.
  23. alyctes
    Blimey Sorry, I can't add anything but good wishes.

    Not sure about the voice, TBH.

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1434475405' post='2800002'] You see lots of free or ridiculously cheap pianos on Preloved/Freeloved. Five miutes searching found these: [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113264386/free-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....free-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113257114/untuned-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....uned-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113241740/bluthhner-upright-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....ight-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113241553/john-broadwood-and-sons-upright-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....ight-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113193789/free-to-collector-upright-piano.html"]http://www.preloved....ight-piano.html[/url] [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/113224025/piano.html"]http://www.preloved....4025/piano.html[/url] I'm surprised that somebody hasn't found a use for the wood - bass bodies?? - if nothing else. [/quote] Hm. Might be possible to build a nice bass rack in the carcass of a dead piano... I think you could probably fit 8 or 10 basses in there.
