I can't believe that Will doesn't already have a feedback thread but the search facility yielded nothing. Mods, if there is an existing thread please merge. Anyway, found an amp that Will was selling on Gumtree. Matched a cab I'd taken in a trade so a few messages later we reached a deal and the amp is on its way to me. Will clearly knows his gear and has several other very desirable items for sale on Gumtree - so take a look. More than happy to trade again. Good man.

A bomb in Wardour St - The Jam

Didn't even occur to me to do that. Unfortunately the only way I could record the basses would be on a phone which TBH wouldn't be worthwhile. Looks like I'll be keeping it to myself.

I'm with @Rayman on this. Far too many formerly famous people just doing it for the money. Give it up...

Bad man - Steel Pulse

I have the SimS pickups in a custom build and even though they are excellent you can buy two of these basses for the price of a pair of SimS pickups. Worth thinking about how to spend the £450.

Welcome sir... TBH you can get much more bass for not many more pennies just by reading a few of the threads here. If you're committed to playing bass you will outgrow the Encore within 6 months and will have to sell it and find a replacement. You will find many good basses in the £200 range - a similar amount will get you a half decent Ashdown or Trace Elliot combo which will do fine till you are gigging regularly. Lots of online resources available - you can learn lots from the free part of Scott Devine's site: https://scottsbasslessons.com/ Or Mark Smith's TalkingBass site: https://www.talkingbass.net/ Just wish these resources were available when I started playing.

Ice mice baby - Vanilla Ice

Sounds sub standard already. Find another tutor.

Wintertime love - The Doors

Love the colour of the fretboard and headstock. Luckiest Grandchildren in the country.

Funky Gibbon - The Goodies

Rock lobster - B52s

Burning love - Elvis

I think @hen barn is coming from Brighton...maybe a car share could be on the cards.

Perfect description of Yamaha basses.

By the time you're ready to leave you'll have at least three on your list of "must haves" and GAS for loads of basses. It's cheaper in the long run not to come but great fun if you do.

Headstock seems familiar but I can't think what it is.
