Nice looking fretless Antoria here [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Antoria-fretless-bass-MIJ-1975-/180984840092?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a23897f9c&autorefresh=true"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Antoria-fretless-bass-MIJ-1975-/180984840092?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a23897f9c&autorefresh=true[/url]

I'm all over that like a wet flannel!

Mind your own! *getting coat, leaving*.

Steel Adjustable Neck usually means it's Matsumoku in origin. Edit: yes, Diamond was part of an Aria range [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsumoku"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsumoku[/url] [url="http://www.matsumoku.org/models/aria/bass.html"]http://www.matsumoku.../aria/bass.html[/url]

I had a case of batteries only lasting a monthor less in my bass, then I discovered that there was a short in the circuit which meant the active circuit was on even when a jack wasn't plugged in. Now the Procells I get last for months and months. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Duracell-9V-Procell-Batteries-MN1604-6LR61-PP3-block-/160507757092?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_Batteries_SM&hash=item255f020224 These are cheap and delivered super quick too - god bless Babz!

I may be able get use of my Church on a Saturday afternoon evening. A few usable rooms. Never been to a bass bash, how does it work? Pub nearby for a pint after! [/quote] I've no idea how it works! Anyone been to one?

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1348244315' post='1811381'] erm, no it has the same headstock, which is not like the Vintage ones... and this one clearly says Benson on it [/quote] Oh yeah! If I'd've scrolled down the page onstead of trying to zoom in on the tiny photo at the top I would've seen that too.

So tonight went really well - which is getting to be a bit of a habit! Absolutely loving playing with a group of really excellt musicians. We had a dep drummer for the first set as Delwyn Myers (our regular drummer) was doing an early set down the road, and he did brilliantly considering he hadn't heard the songs before yesterday when I phoned him! Second set went down really well as well, got some bookings for other clubs from it, saw a load of people I hadn't chatted to for a while and managed to scoot across town to see Afrocluster too! Great night! Oh and some compliments off of other bass players!!! Whoooot!

As it says in the title 1st starts at 8.30, would be good to see some BC'ers there! Also we're using 2 different drummers as our main guy is giiging till 9pm, the other has never played or rehearsed with us and one's a lefty, one's a righty - should be fun!

It was the Jazz 'Precision' that I zoomed in on and it appeared to say Vintage on the headstock. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-new-Precision-BASS-GUITAR-Green-Sunburst-B-STOCK-NO-RESERVE-1-LOT-25-/190726201787?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c682ae1bb#ht_3270wt_993

[quote name='apa' timestamp='1348215104' post='1810824'] Cant make out the headstock name! Probably really cheap Chinese nonsence to start with. Still a bargain though when 'missing a string' is classed as a default A [/quote] Vintage brand by the looks of it, although one of the feedbacks said Yamaha.

£25 - £40 average price? Blimey!

This has now been recycled.

Someone (sorry I forget who!) di try to organise one before but it fell through due to (I think) no one being available to host the event in Music Box studios in Cardiff. Since then there's been a flurry of new South Wales-based members so shall we organise a Cardiff or Swansea Bass Bash?

Tuners are with this bass as are the strings I got with it.

PM'd

Cardiff - If you look under a member's avatar, it usually states their location. For instance, I see you are in Michelin Star central - Ludlow.

But beaten by £1 because that person bid in the last second using a snipe tool! Why can't Ebay just extend the auction by 2 minutes every time someone bids so the seller gets the mazimum amount someone was prepared to bid?

Aaaargh beaten again by stupid bullsh*t eBay snipe nonsense!
