[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1487452061' post='3239972'] I reckon that's as cool as a very cool thing. Reminds me of a Klingon Warbird, but without the Cloaking Device of course. [/quote] Those are much harder to advertise.

Pretty

That puts the seller on my "never-buy" list...

I'd like the Jolana better if it didn't make me want to try re-entry from low orbit. I'm too old for that sort of lark

Peavey do sell a trussrod tool, or used to - not sure if there's still a UK supplier. But if you go that route, be [u]certain[/u] to slacken the strings before you use it, because they are not robust and will "round" very quickly if you don't.

Every time I watch Stop Making Sense (about twice a year, I'm a fan) she always looks terrified but determined.

Never a fan of 'burst finishes, but that's not insupportable.

I regret selling my old Yamaha BBN5. My first fiver, and if I still had it I might still be pllaying them.

I like that, so long as I don't have to play it.

I gather the Revelations are good. A little above £150 though.

He doesn't say he sent a photo [u]of this bass[/u] to Warwick. Just "a photo"...

Nice colour

I had one. Seemed fine to me. Sold it because I wasn't using it. (I kept my Ashbory though; but they aren't the same, you can't play a Ubass the same way.)

GASsing for a defretted Epi... partly for perversity value, and partly because I want to know what it sounds like

Interesting beast. I wonder if they make basses?

I have the ruin of another O-B. It does play, and is about 35% complete. They're really not all that related to bass guitars IIUC - bass guitars were themselves a bit of a rarity when the O-B was built (1959 in London, I think). They are quite rare - nobody seems to know how many were made, but the best guess I'm aware of is maybe six or seven.

Thanks to all who commented. I caved and tied it to my current account. That works. I don't like it, but I'm not making any significant use of it so the chance of fraud is small. Probably. Edit: I closed the account anyway.

It's still there... I guess that's not entirely surprising given the price.
