  1. Kenny Potter???? Now there's a name from the past. He gave me 4 bass lessons when I was at school - that must be 20 years ago.
    I stopped going as my parents stopped providing bass lesson money and told me to get a job!! Self taught since then!

  2. I've got £120 put aside for a back up 5 string bass. Not much I know, but you said to make an offer and I can't stretch any more for a spare that will sit in it's case 99% of the time.

    I have a friend working at a music shop in Dundee in a few weeks for the day so could be collected.

  3. Original for sale thread with pics

    BTW the bass is now strung with Warwick red label roundwounds - flats chew up my fingers - which are marking the fretboard a bit. I wouldn't worry about it for £60 TBH. You can put flats back on if that's your preference.

  4. I bought this on here a while ago from Marcus.

    I've since found that I'm no Pino Palladino and I need a cheap 5 string as a spare for gigs so it's got to go.

    Natural wood - it's quite a dark Bubinga type wood. Active electronics. Sounds and plays pretty well.

    Side of the nut is cracked but doesn't effect playability.

    £60 + postage. Which IIRC is what I paid for it

    Or even better trade me for a cheap 5 string.

    You won't get a better fretless for £60.

    He once switched us off - mid-set - in his bar, so maybe not :)

    "Err lads make sure this is your last song eh?"

    Then we carried on - click

    :P

  6. I fancy getting my Thunderfunk out of the rack case and getting a flightcase to carry it.

    Something like TF advertise on their site

    Can anyone recommend someone who would make one of these for me for a reasonable price?
