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

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='Woodinblack' timestamp='1436029484' post='2814470'] Bad? I am disappointed that is in the states or I would be bidding!

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?

That's definitely different

Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard

I quite like the Antiguaburst. Also, my PC desktop is burgundy mist, or a good approximation to it.

Blimey Sorry, I can't add anything but good wishes.

Not sure about the voice, TBH.

[/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.

I have a Kramer The Duke, so I have just the faintest inkling of what the sound is based on. (I recognise that bizarre through-bridge stringing arrangement, as well...) That's got to be a monster

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1436184911' post='2815667'] Yes the nut is quiet narrow [/quote] It wasn't a criticism - I was just a bit surprised by it. It's a looker, for sure.

This seems to be a rare beast. Seller is a BC member, if the name is anything to go by. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BJ5B-Bass-Guitar-Terry-The-Blue-Jeans-5-String-SBV-Model-/191622594243?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c9d98bec3 Also, that's a really, really narrow nut on a fiver...
