Love cats - as above

How does his prices compare to the eBay seller from China? Lots of highly figured timber for what seems like not a lot - but I don't know. TBH I don't really need to know - I don't want to re-ignite a fire I thought I'd dealt with.

I could spend that in no time....a fool and his money are easily parted.

So many good points made...

Tie your Kangaroo down sport - Rolf Arris

There was one on eBay last week which didn't sell for £100 and was relisted. Must have sold - couldn't find it.

Zoom B2 (plus a spare) for me. I also have a Johnson J Station but I think that I've used it once.

The one on Gumtree sold - no idea for how much though.

Is this the one I posted in the Weird and wonderful thread? I love the "had no money so I spent it" mentality. When I was in my 20s I had to "spend my money before I spent it". Usually involved buying stuff I didn't need.

Interesting...so your advice is to "don't listen to them, listen to me" even though there is a consensus that Acoustic basses generally aren't loud enough without amplification and that feedback can be an issue. Several people have suggested that a semi Acoustic could be a good compromise, again the OP should take your opinion over the advice of the many...🤔🤔

I do like this. What is it?

Hatfield 1980 - EBTG

TBH I think that Squier represent better VFM that many of the top of the range gear basses - in recent years I've been pleasantly surprised with the build quality. You don't need to change any parts - machine heads are perfectly adequate, change the settings on your amp rather than buy new pickups - probably won't stop anybody doing this though. If I could have bought a bass of this quality for £189 when I started playing I would have been well chuffed.

My over-riding memory of mine was the weight...

Mini - Corduroy

I like highly figured timber but I think that your price range will limit your market and clientele. There are luthiers here who would build me anything I wanted for less than you state and that would be custom built rather than "mass produced".

That was my experience with a fretless Hohner B2 back in the late 80s.

I don't listen to Oasis but I'm told that Champagne Supernova is also a load of bolllocks.
