  1. @BCH's Quilter Bassliner is a monster - used to be mine - can't understand why it hasn't sold already. It's a steal at any price, never mind what he's selling it for. If I was gigging and didn't already have an alternative, I'd buy it back.
  2. Interesting comments...Even though I think Prince was an absolute "genius" and that there were few as prolific, original and pushed the boundaries of music as he did - I don't believe anybody, not anybody, is the greatest ever. There are, have been and will be many great musicians. What I prefer may not be what you do, who I think was great you may not. What we can all agree on, hopefully, is that there are musicians who made massive contributions to the field of Music and comparison is meaningless. Music has benefitted from so many great musicians and long may it continue!!
  3. Say, say, say - Jackson and McCartney
  4. That's nice.... What's the balance like? Any neck dive?
  5. Wow.... You must feel like a kid on Xmas Eve...
  6. Interesting article... https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/why-prince-is-the-greatest-guitarist-of-all-time/

  9. What?? Not considering Red Tort??? Just playing Devil's advocate.
  10. Seen this?
  11. New York, New York - Frank Sinatra
  12. I think he has it back. Check the first post: Edited January 20 by AdhamBassPlayer
  13. Last few....case is available too.
  14. Looks like an ideal project for @Andyjr1515 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324583393290?hash=item4b92ad880a:g:OYsAAOSwPxNgf~ud Unfortunately, the truss rod nut has failed out of warranty, having either come unthreaded or broken, and just spins freely in its collar. The hex socket isn’t stripped and the nut is captive, so can’t be repaired or replaced by itself. Yamaha say they don’t supply replacement necks and that to replace the truss rod will need the fingerboard to be removed, a job that’s beyond my skill level and my pocket. Although technically “playable”, the neck relief can’t be altered as the rod cannot be tensioned, so I’m selling it for spares or repair only, it might suit someone as a project or to cannibalise for spares. Everything apart from the truss rod is in full working order and had only light, home use. A reserve has been added since I posted this.
  15. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294126193480?hash=item447b498b48:g:AtEAAOSwdU5geaiQ Vintage late 1970’s / early 1980’s - genuine WAL mk1 Bass Guitar hard shell case. This is from the early days of WAL - Ian Waller and Pete Stevens in High Wycombe. Condition is: Rough, but not rubbish. Bad bits: 3 of the 4 catches are broken / parts missing. There is one significant perforation by the logo. There are scratches all over it. There is gaffer tape residue on some of it. There are fine specs of white paint on it, (usual story - someone decides to paint their kitchen ceiling, but leaves the case in there! Happens a lot to Marshall amps too!). All metal parts have slight rust / tarnish on them. See pics.... Good bits: apart from the dent in the front, there’s no other damage to the shell. The interior is complete, no damage just well used. The leather handle, although tatty is complete. The two single hinges and the one long bottom hinge are all complete. Although slightly loose are fully functional. See pics.... You wouldn’t want to take your vintage WAL on tour with it! But if you have a very rare mk1 without a case, it would compliment it nicely. Auction only, no buy it now. It is listed with ebay global shipping. If your country is not listed, it’s not going there. Thanks for looking
  16. BB405 on Gumtree - is this a bargain? https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bb405-5string-bass/1378741389
  17. One for sale on Gumtree - used. Before looking have a guesstimate what a used sparkly 2020 MM (special edition apparently) might sell for. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/music-man-ltd-edition-06-of-85-bfr-stingray-4-hh-bass-guitar-in-pink-champagne-sparkle/1403203782
  18. Get @Andyjr1515 to build you a chambered bass of any design/ hardware that you want. You'll get a custom bass for less than a new Fender/Musicman/etc.
  19. Mad eyed screamer - The Creatures
  20. Don't disregard Schroeder....
  21. Good buy... Be careful when posting a thread on whether to have a scratchplate, and if so which colour..😉😉
  22. Stone Ponies featuring Linda Ronstadt and Different Drum Generally I'm of the opinion that ads ruin songs - I didn't know this song before hearing it on the telly.
  23. Nightporter - Japan
  24. Let's have a party - Elvis
  25. Ashdown MAG300 at a stupid price (if you can get to Leicester) https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/ashdown-bass-amp-head-mag300/1402238554
