  1. I have one too. I've seen them sell for almost twice this price.
  2. Though these came in a number of pickup configurations the PJ has got to be the one to have IMO.
  3. Take on me - Aha
  4. Sailing - Rod Stewart
  5. https://secure.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/122411277/westone-thunder-1-a-bass-guitar-left-handed.html?link=%2Fsearch%3Fkeyword%3Dbass%26sectionId%3D2175%26orderBy%3DmostRecent%26page%3D3

  7. I have one in black - cased to avoid fingermarks - I'd forgotten how good looking these are. GLWTS
  8. Thinking of you - Sister Sledge
  9. I don't envisage him gigging for a while so he probably won't have to move it often. Also, the solid tonal palette from the Trace Elliot should give him the incentive to play. A piddly little amp won't do that.
  10. Isn't someone looking for a fretless Ray??
  11. Interesting looking decals. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145438470780?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lXCpZVPLSMy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3arTyUkpQE-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  12. I've just been browsing on Gumtree and for £225 you can have a Trace Elliot combo and a Yamaha BB4. Both great vfm. Can't post the links using my phone though
  13. No truer truism for this - buy cheap, buy twice. I'd avoid a bass starter pack - the amplifiers will be under powered and lack tone which will have a negative impact on your motivation. Lots of decent amps producing 50w plus or keep your eyes open for a Trace Elliot BLX80 or 130 combo. Both much louder than the numbers suggest. They can turn up for £100 - probably the best money you'll ever spend. Lots of good advice about entry level basses above - I'd also add Yamaha BBG4 - I picked one up for under £100. Lot of bass for not much money. If you're in the Herts area you're welcome to pop round and try some gear.
  14. Bob the builder - CBeebies
  15. Ooops...thought that I'd left feedback I bought a 3u rack case from Mike at the SE Bash - really easy transaction. We all know that Mike's a diamond - trade with absolute confidence.
  16. (I did it) My way - Ole Blue eyes hisself
  17. Long shot kick the bucket - The Pioneers
  18. A steal...thinking about it even though I don't need another 5er. Do love a PJ though. GLWTS
  19. It took me about 5 ventures into 5 string before I actually found my way. Persistence is an important factor IMO.
  20. Someone somewhere in summertime - Simple Minds
  21. Living on a prayer - Jon Bovi
  22. Master blaster jamming- Stevie Wonder
  23. Hooked on you - sweet sensation
  24. I've been expecting nominations for "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". Not a fan of either TBH though I appreciate the musicianship involved - why do both feature on the Greatest songs of all time lists?
