Answering your question directly, I'd get 2 or 3 basses. This way if you're ever stuck for cash you can sell 1 or 2 and still have a decent bass to keep. Personally, I'd buy studio time for the band and get a great product out there. Maybe some merchandise too! I'm assuming you already have a bass or two and a rig? Why buy more?! Truckstop

How the he'll did you manage to get permission to build a fake Sue Ryder P body? Truckstop

I really enjoyed that, good work! Truckstop

Very cool! Lots of Ibanez tubescreamer love from those guys. Truckstop

Just be very careful and sand the black layer off! Once you've done that, just finish the green coat with t-cut and polish. You won't be able to take the black coat off with anything less than 300 grit I think, otherwise you'll never get the scratches out of the green finish. I would normally say nitromors, but that might just destroy both coats! Truckstop

Bought his Boss VE-20 off of him for a very good price (cheers!). Excellent communiques, well organised and all round good guy. I look forward to many hours fun with it and hopefully I'll get to trade with Brian again sometime Cheers Alex

Speaking of headphones, anyone know if it's ok to run an amp without connecting it to a cab? I like using my headphones, but it doesn't mute the speaker output so noise comes out of the cab too! Very annoying. I've been too scared to run the amp without a cab; is that silly? Cheers Truckstop

As far as I'm aware, he had/has some personal issues and he was working his way through his backlog before calling it a day. If you to the build diaries area, there's a thread on celinder. Take a look, most interesting! Truckstop

I'd ask for £200 or so. My pub has a couple of duos on the roster and that's the rate they ask for. Hope that helps? Truckstop

And more helpfully, the GK gets a vote from me. I used a GK 400RB for 5 years in death metal bands and it really stood up to measure. You can dial in plenty of grit and it just works with the rest of the EQ to make sure you don't lose any of that beef you no doubt want from your tone. Ultra reliable, FX loop, DI out and rackmountable. Looks devil too! And cheap!!! Even in a metal band I never thought it worth getting a fuzz/distortion outboard because the amp sounded so aggressive on it's own. And another I really like about GK amps, is that the knobs are quite stiff and ultra precise. They don't feel loose or cheap like other amps knobs. Quite Alternatively, try a behringer bdi21. Everyone raves about them and so do I! The drive knob will be your friend. It's only £30+ so if you don't like it you can sell it on and only lose a Tenner. Or keep it for future studio use!

I love my Blazer because it's everything I look for in a bass. Great sound, great looks, well-loved and cheap! Truckstop

Why spend £350 on a new bass when you could spend £350 on a second hand one that cost twice that much new? With £350 you could look at Yamaha TRB's, G&L Tributes or even a proper german Warwick if you're lucky! These are all 'worth' £600+ new. Truckstop

I'm not too fussed about pictures if it's an amp or a pedal or something. What I do want to know however is why they want rid of it, what they think of the product, hownit came into their possession and why I should buy it. I hate it when people go: "for sale 1 fender p bass.6months old. £1million ono" Why not flesh out the ad? I wouldn't want to buy anything off this guy! Truckstop

Axesrus make decent kit. Ive bought a couple of their jazz wiring kits (passive and active versions) and they are well made and are great value for money. Quick dispatch and excellent communicators too! Truckstop

I'm waiting for the Ibanez Blazer RI! Truckstop
