I bought Dave's Westone Thunder 1. All went well, we had a nice chat (including Mrs Dave, who makes a fine cup of tea, thank you ma'am), a pleasant and cheerful transaction. I hope to go see his band play some time soon

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1385725948' post='2291527'] Once again it's all 'eye of the beholder' stuff, really. I can't help but think that stripes like that on a bass make it look like a fag packet, but that's just me... [/quote] Stripey ones play faster

Cool

Sounds like fun. Pics please You also need a Westone Rail. [i]Everyone [/i]needs a Westone Rail

I bought his Ritter gigbag. Good clean simple transaction, no issues. I'd happily deal with him again. Thanks Sean

Just don't put it down on a wooden floor... you'd never find it.

Give the Ibanez GSRM-20 a look. Short scale (28.6"), so very fast and compact; they fit guitar gigbags. They are decently made and finished for the cost, they sound decent, and at £160 or so from Thomann they are not bank-breakers. Just make sure you change the stock strings... eww Thomann links: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_gsrm20gb_ca.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...gsrm20gb_ca.htm[/url] or [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_gsrm20gb_bk.htm."]http://www.thomann.d...srm20gb_bk.htm.[/url]

I bought Fender-style tuners from Nik. Good deal all around, not a bad word to say. Thanks Nik

The headstock looks like a pinecone on a stick...

That makes marginally more sense to me than a Flying V does... Or at least it looks better.

Makes sense to me... that probably doesn't weigh any more than a T-40. That's worth something, to the right player.

Wow. I don't think I can give any actual help, but kudos to you for taking her on, and to her for trying.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1393087467' post='2376090'] Interesting how on the back you can only see four tuners [/quote] Must be because the seller is a vision expert...

I'm quite pleased that the dong on the back of the body isn't pictured

Someone told me that one of the Joni Mitchell songs with Jaco on it is a twelve-bar... [u]if[/u] you can dig down through the arrangement and ornamentation. I forget which one

I guess the string angle is making a difference to whether the bridge is touching its earth wire. That's the only thing which makes sense to me.
