£280 collected. Incredible instrument for chump change. Now going on Gumtree and Ebay... -
Nice. Years ahead of Musicman with that trussrod adjustment function too!
-
Sounds like a great step forward to me!
-
That's bloody stunning 😍
-
Reduced to £320 posted. I'll also throw in a mix bag of all the strings I have in my drawer here to experiment with. New and used, all top brands, used strings all usable and barely used. Cut for Fender so will fit most basses out there.

It's true. There is cctv footage of a big dust up in a hotel lobby between the two groups just prior to Tupac's murder.
-
Bass Bros would be my first port of call too. Only bought from there but Will is cool.

That looks great. I like the thicker thru-skunkstripe, reminds me of the 4005 at the headstock (which is the best looking headstock they've done inmho). How's it playing now?

I've just reported him out of principle. 3rd time he's tried listing it! Down with the scammers! 🤬

Is 4 strings really enough? (Oooo i went there)
miles'tone replied to BigJHW's topic in General Discussion
Surely George Peppard was a 4 wheel man, As in the count of alloys on The A-Team van, There could be 12 on an aeroplane, where B.A. Baracus would have to be restrained. (pass the milk) -

miles'tone replied to BigJHW's topic in General Discussion
I'm pretty sure that originally the Jaco only needed 4 strings theory was misunderstood, very much the same as that of Schrodinger's Cat. A theory that was created with Schrodinger's tongue firmly in cheek, trolling those in Copenhagen and their interpretation of quantum mechanics at the time. It was taken completely the wrong way and became a foundation argument to prove the opposite. -
These are great instruments and a steal at this price (If you live near London)

Ah yes, the thinking man's 80s ride... Unlike the boy racers in their escorts who used to scream through puddles trying to soak me as I strolled along listening to Ghostbusters on my Walkman (I was only 12 btw!) I remember some tit trying it in a mini and the engine cut out, as they did 😂
-
Bump for now, will take and upload my own pics at the weekend...
-
I only had 2 tapes in 1985 - Brothers In Arms and the Ghostbusters soundtrack. Loved them both. I got my first Walkman (well, "personal stereo" because a Sony was too expensive) that year and it was amazing! Now I didn't have to be at home to listen to music...I could listen to it anywhere! Far out!

Personal fave - The Melodians

Been setting up the classroom in the school I work in ready for the kids tomorrow. I brought in my speakers and lined up some Jimmy Cliff first thing and just let Spotify do it's thing and keep rolling. We've all been bopping to banging Reggae all day! I couldn't tell you what a lot of it was much of it has been new to me and the girls here have been loving it. Sweet vibes all day and we're ready for anything now! 🌞

Bump with pic of the Gotohs...

My feedback thread has disappeared
miles'tone replied to miles'tone's question in Site Issues and Questions
Whit?!... How?!... Where?!...🫠 We both tried the internal site search and Google but to know avail. I did contact ped about it but didn't hear anything back from him. Didn't expect to because it was over the bank holiday. I wonder if he's waved his magic admin wand at it since then? 🤔 Thanks very much! -
Has anyone else experienced this? I asked a recent seller if he wouldn't mind leaving me some feedback as I hadn't sold anything for a while and thought some recent glad tidings would be nice. Neither of us could locate my thread! I had quite a lot of all positive feedback on there from my dealings over the years so not great to have to start again! Anyone have any insider knowledge as to why it's gone? Many thanks all, Simon
-
Indeed. I am wondering if I will regret it...
-
I imagine that they write and play music because it's fun.

Just out of nerdy interest John, where is the bridge pickup on yours? You have one from an early batch so I'm just wondering if your bridge Pup is really close to the bridge as some promo photos suggest. It seems that now they've moved it further north...unless the early pics were some kind of photoshop skullduggery. Wondering if any Newports were released with the former... As you do 😉

Andy Fraser honk... a very righteous thing indeed. Cool looking basses that I've had my eye on. Great that you have got yours sounding as it should with just a couple of inexpensive tweaks.
