Are you going to go for a gloss or satin finish?

Good move on the Spector... The others??? Not so much. Welcome...

Some people just don't get balancing the books...

I'm never happy with a Jazz, rarely happy with a P....love a PJ though - best of both worlds with less of the negatives.

Shouldn't you post this in the Items wanted thread??

Headstock designer went home early??

Nice...white is the new black

I agree that both Mark and Scott are great online tutors but personally I'd use up what I need from the free lessons before moving to the paid stuff. If your playing doesn't go up several levels from the free lessons the paid stuff probably won't help.

If I had a "spare " £350 I would probably have snapped it up ages ago even though I have never played a 6 string bass.

Welcome Saskia I agree that some of the lessons on SBL are a bit complex and intimidating, however there are many which are easy to jump into and that you'll benefit from. You just need to pick those which will stretch your abilities and knowledge and move you to the next stage. Use SBL as the great resource it is, take what you need, leave that which you don't. I disagree with those who criticise Scott for the way he presents his YT videos, he explains why he presents them in the way he does in one of his videos. For somebody who's giving players the chance to expand their abilities and technique, many for FREE, I think he gets a lot of undeserved stick. Playing with other musicians will always help you to use the stuff you've learnt and will bring on your confidence - which is no bad thing. Perseverance is the key...

A friend of mine owns a sign/ printing company and they do wraps for vans, etc - think BT/ SKY/etc. I asked about having a bass done - "no problem" - but never followed up on it. No reason why your local sign makers/ printers couldn't do the same.

I bought a Peavey Xmen guitar....as noted collectors will buy.

Seen this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353761540165?hash=item525dd4b845:g:xTAAAOSw~2xhiW84

I have the five string version. I've also owned "the real thing" and I can honestly say that the Performer range is as playable as the US models. As entry models they are very respectable and for £200 I think that you're doing alright. Buy it!!

I've done it a few times to members here but it's assumed that if you're a respected member here you must be alright.

That looks and sounds so scary - I bet Jack is wearing brown underwear this week.

Arrived safely, Pete...many thanks.

I couldn't find a feedback thread for @Peaty . If there is an existing thread can somebody merge them please?? Many thanks to Pete. He posted a thread for a free book "Funk" by Rickey Vincent - I couldn't believe that others hadn't jumped on it. I sent Pete a Pm and a few days later said book is in my possession. Haven't had a chance to make a start on it yet but I'm pretty sure I'll learn something from it. Thanks again , Pete.

Love that blue...we know it's going to be a stunner

I have two - they haven't earned their keep in ages. The Ibanez ones are very good quality with ample padding. Sorry...all photos deleted.

There was a set of pick ups on eBay recently - quick look but can't find them...
