  1. I have one - I'd want more than £250 for mine.
  2. Wasn't Maggie Philbin Keith Chegwin's wife?
  3. Can you play "Chopsticks " on a bass?
  4. I'd wait till @Andyjr1515 has an opening and get him to build a bass around the neck. Probably be able to get that past the partner too...
  5. 12th of Never - Donny Osmond
  6. There she goes - The LAs
  7. Hole in my shoe - Neil from the Young Ones
  8. I had one in mirror black (fingerprints!!). As pointed out above, they punch well above their pricepoint - the option of the PJ pickups give the best of both worlds and a huge tonal palette. There are worse ways to spend £200...not many better though.
  9. Ah...that's where I've seen them! @rwillett made a set for my Fender Modern player which had the original pickups swapped out for Humbuckers. I don't think he can do chrome but he can do black.
  10. ...but bear in mind that it could sell for more the following week.
  11. Not you...the all too common phrase
  12. This phrase really gets on my nerves - it's become a common response to "what's it worth" - ridiculous as the buyer may well put the item back up for sale the following day ("flip it!" ) and get several hundreds/ thousands more. So which is it? The first amount? The second? An average of the two? I advertise my gear for what I think it's worth, taking into account condition -v- similar items I've seen sold. Basically what I think would be a fair price to pay if I was buying it. Want to buy it at that price? If the answer is "no" then I'll hold on to it till somebody will and you can find one at a price you are prepared to pay (and take the risks of the unknown). My brother sells antiques and is often "lowballed" - his attitude is "fucck 'em" - when they can't find it at the price they want to pay they'll either come back or they can go without.
  13. Some more of Lukasz's creation which are available IIRC he was also selling a red fretless - wouldn't be surprised if it sold but worth asking the man himself. @Lukasz Chyla
  14. ...and small... very, very small in fact
  15. Rockin' Robin - Jackson 5
  16. At Bass Direct. Two lovely looking Cali mini basses caught my eye amongst others.
  17. I've just been looking at the Bass guitar stock. Glad I've got no money - they have some lovely basses in stock....
  18. We'll arrange your own table..😉😉
  19. So did I after I asked the question - not on eBay so I thought it must have been Gumtree. Couldn't find it there either. It was black and IIRC the seller had bought it, not gelled and was selling.
  20. I loved my "Green machine" Overwater - so much so that I was scared to take it out. Pointless having it really. I eventually sold it back to the fella who commissioned it in the first place. Yours is looking fine already.
  21. ..this is a quite desirable bass https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/aria-pro-ii-sb-elt-ii-rsz-rudy-sarzo-bass-guitar/1466934246
  22. Love(for hire) - EBTG
  23. So, so much. Deliberately vague to protect the BCer and the UK vender. I traded a very nice Spector bass for a well known branded and artist endorsed bass built for a UK manufacturer in the Far East. Got it home, the build quality was abysmal, the individual (out of alignment) bridges felt like they were made from milk bottle tops, the tuners, again misaligned, seemed to be unable to hold a tuning, the strap locks were loose and the whole bass felt CHEAP - not inexpensive, CHEAP!! I'd previously played another of the UK Vendor's instruments at the LBGS and it felt reasonably playable for a budget instrument - this did not. I rang the person I traded with and agreed to pay for both basses to be couriered as we'd met up at a well known venue near a major road just so that I could get the Spector back. I've been wary of this brand ever since. It wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out which bass this is - I won't be drawn any further on it.
  24. There you go Frank - I gave you a "like" - I know that you need them...
