A timeless classic. Sat in the DeLorean at a technical conference I was at in Austin in April. The resizing jacket and hoverboard were there too. Got pics but lost them when I had to reset my work iphone for forgetting the pin code I reset while in an inebriated state on same said trip...

is that the ACG?

Entirely unrelated Luke! 

As in yes it's for a bass, no it's not ACG related!

Phil Star is your man, drop him a line

Spec sheet says the KADT has a wider bandwidth than the DT.  Link to spec sheet here

Might have... 

I'd forgotten that the Hyperdrive is good!

I must dust mine off & reintroduce to the pedalboard!

Good? Good? It’s the best drive pedal ever invented (ymmv) but it’s size is against it...

If you are flexible on the neck through, there is one in London that could fit the bill. On the Bass Players Market UK Facebook page. (No connection to seller, just acting on the coincidence of seeing a Thumb being mentioned twice in quick succession!)

It'd have to be the neck through for me...

"Welcome to try it if I buy, but I'm not exactly next door to you!"

Thank you.  I was really only pulling your leg.  Who knows though?  We might meet at a Bass Bash or other music related event so I may get to call your bluff after all.

I wish you luck with your GAS.  May it not involve a second mortgage.

Well if it's not working, why would you want to buy it?

Oh wait sorry - my free pass has expired. 

This Purge thing, is that where for 24 hours everyone can kill eachother etc without police intervention? Sounds like an average football match.

I often wish it was a cartoon world and things like safes or pianos could fall on some folks heads but not kill them of course. Just cause a fantastic array of stars and an 18 inch bump on their heads for a while!

...and like buses, there’s another on eBay now!

The 'Jaco Pastorius' and 'Victor Wooten Groove Workshop' DVDs

Why would I torture myself so?

Why not buy up all of the plectrums?

@Dood - yes, that was my 1006 but it's gone now, and I now have a 1206 as my main bass, though was disappointed to find I couldn't get an East uni pre into the cavity (spent an hour or more with John East trying to figure it out, but it simply won't fit!).

What you want is to swing by my place and have a fiddle on the Maruszczyk 6 I got last year. Go on.....you know you want to.

@Gareth Hughes you old enabler you!

I'd be more interested in the Original 60s to be honest, but they didn't have one to try in GG... I intentionally stayed away from the CS stuff they had!!!

Those rolled edges are exactly what you get on proper vintage - it's just part of the effect

It was my first bass, albeit back in the late 80s when they were "made in Japan" models. It got sold off years ago and I decided to get a replacement once I was back on my feet, opting for another Japanese Fender 50s P-bass. Interestingly the Japanese models now (or mine at least) don't have that wide neck, opting for a more conventional C shape. I did like the old neck but mine is still pretty cool.

Then pay it off b4 the 15% starts to bite.

Pay off the card. The feeling of a cleared debt is wonderful, whereas buyer's remorse on a debt-fuelled purchase is a hideous thing.

It's like you're in my head @SICbass!

I feel your pain brother.

It has saved you a bit of dosh. There will always be more gear out there for you to buy in future
But for now..... control your urges man!  I'm trying to control my GAS..... trying!

Just wait until it's 10 months old ad on a dating site... 😞

I’ve got one... 

I know Luke. But I don't think my budget is THAT flexible... 

Nah, Hofner Violin bass drop tuned to F#

Tony Sales with Tin Machine:

Wow, so many cricket bats in one image (and a Vigier of course).

Well you know me G, always up for a tinker!

Well, I mean - how many overdrives is too many overdrives, right?

I don't believe there's any such thing as too many overdrives... It's like saying I've eaten to many buns! Nonsense!

@discreet Out of stock!

My ebay search string was pants. Searching for telecaster was far more fruitful. Sorted now. As you were people!

Doh! Got there in a roundabout way...

You'll know you're old when the pages start appearing in

a very very large font

and you get messages telling you that it's a bit parky outside.

So that's what happened to Jedward.

@LowB_FTW it was DHL, but organised by The Gallery. I'd imagine they get better rates than us normal plebs!

Cheers man.

I asked the seller of the bass I'm interested if he can get quotes for postage last night, hopefully he gets back to me shortly - and hopefully he just doesn't laugh in my face and say no way will he post it to NI 😅

Tried speaking to Ashdown? They're very helpful, with excellent customer service usually. Even if they don't offer a schematic (it is their IP of course), they may offer to help with a repair.

Not needed for a repair Si. As Baldrick would say "I have a cunning plan"... One I don't think Ashdown would be interested in assisting with!

Ah gotcha haha

A bit poo, or really poo?

Wasn't Gal Gadot able to save things with her amazing thunderous thighs???

But... but... HMRC will find me! 

@discreet - if HMRC find you, tell them you're a millionaire, and your official residence is in the Channel Islands!
..... they'll probably give YOU money then.....

Done! 

I'm the same, I love the idea of a 'Ray but the SB14 and Ray34 tasters I tried never really floated my boat sadly.

I bought a cheapo OLP 4-string off the 'bay, it sounded fine but I didn't get on at all with the clubby neck... subsequently bought a gorgeous fretless Jaydee neck from Greenolive of this parish, and now it's fabulous.  

I'd imagine a used Ray35 may be the answer. Thought I'd get hands on with one in Guitarguitar in Glasgow on Sunday, but nobody seemed interested in helping out a poor bass player - too many guitards to be helped instead...
