https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-Thunderbird-Classic-IV-in-Alpine-White-WITH-USA-PICKUPS/153850451843?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 I messaged this clown the first time he advertised it as a Classic Pro, told him it wasn't what he was advertising it as, he reeled off the classic "selling it for a friend" spiel. I'm guessing it sold and has been returned once the buyer got it. As he's trying again. I'd like to report it, but ebay's reporting format is so restrictive.

New embassy (and also thunderbird) bass, Classic style!

I still have my Ebony Vintage Pro, done no mods to it, as it doesn't need it IMHO. -
Who influenced you to pick up and start playing Bass.

Cheers for the link Fleabag, Never heard of these lads before. This is fantastic stuff! It'll be getting a lot of play at work next week. -
First concert - Queen - Edinburgh Playhouse, 1976. Last concert - UFO - Exeter Phoenix, 2015. Best concert - UFO - Newcastle Mayfair, 1978. Worst concert - Iron Maiden - Middlesbrough Town Hall, 1981. Loudest concert - Motörhead - Newcastle Mayfair, 1980. Seen the most - The Michael Schenker Group. (80, 81, 82, 83, 2010, 2013, 2014) Most surprising - Marillion - Reading, 1983. (never thought much of them until then) Next concert - Nothing definite, but Tool are on my list. Wish I would have seen - Genesis, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Gong.

London 86 CD has always been a daft price, as it's so rare. London 86 DVD AFAIK was never released officially, the concert was filmed and shown on TV around 1988. There are actually two 86 CD's, the one above being recorded 8th May, the other a soundboard recording from the 7th May. All (plus other concert footage) are on Ilton White's channel on You Tube.

Spirit of Eden is a grower believe me.

I highly recommend Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock, and their double compilation CD Asides Besides.

I thought this was gonna be another one of Mayfield's Master Luthiers beauties.

Here's my 2018 MIM Player Series Precision. The White PG had to go, as will the pup in the not to distant. The (to some) vastly inferior Squier above is far better all round.

*Sold* Squier 70s Classic Vibe Precision Bass

Well Mr Meddle, Please forgive me mate! I've just gone and ordered a Harley Benton JB-75 MN from Thomann for the measly sum of £127.44 inc P&P. If it's as good as the one in the video below, prepare yourself for some upward punching!

I started playing back in 1981, about a year and a bit later I bought a 1978 Fender Precision. I not long after joined a band and started playing quite regular gigs. I bought a 1982 Squier Precision in 1983 as a back up. It walked all over the Fender, I sold the Fender in '84 and sadly the JV had to go in 1992, when my 1st daughter was born. These days I have a 2014 CV 70's Precision and a 2018 Mex Fender Player Series Precision, and yet again IMHO the Squier is superior.

I'm sure you've paid a lot for a bass that someone else will think isn't worth it/sounds shyte/ugly/not their cuppa etc! At the end of the day, you didn't fork out the cash, you've made your point, you don't like Squier's, now just get over it FFS!

Bobo, You have nothing to be apologising for mate. I can't see that there's been any notification problems, as I've been receiving mine as normal.and there's nothing in the Site Issues section suggesting anyone else haven't been receiving theirs. A for the personal scenarios you point out in your post, I did consider that, until I'd seen that he'd been back on the forum after I'd sent him a further three pm's. Hence I waited six days just to be certain that I was being ignored before mentioning this whole farce.
-
It makes me sad to say this, but it seems jamiesonk666 is a total time waster! I pm'd him on the 29th of October to see if Bobo_08 had been back in touch, as this thread looked like it was at a stalemate, and I fancied a Jazz Bass myself. He responded to my initial pm saying that Bobo hadn't replied, I then asked about buying the bass myself and the possibility of postage, I even offered to cover postage costs. He has since gone silent and has totally ignored my other messages, even though he has visited the forum after I'd sent them. Yeah, at the end of the day, it's his Bass and he can sell it to whoever he wants too. But IMHO it's just plain shyte forum etiquette to just cut a buyer dead when they're trying to negotiate a possible purchase of something a seller obviously no longer wants.

Aye and a lot of them urinate all over their Fender counterparts.
-
The whole album is a masterpiece for me, it's a million miles away from their highly lauded first album and far better, I just wish Algy was higher in the mix.
-
The same way as this little gem can be 40.

UFO back in 2015. An hour and a half of Vinnie Moore ruining their classics did nowt for my Tinnitus.

They look very smart indeed

Left over VM stock rebranded as CV's I read somewhere.

I've done this many moons ago, on a Hondo copy of a bass who's name I can't mention here. I took the neck to work, masked the existing holes off. I used a pillar drill and drilled front to back, there was some slight damage around the edges, but the lips on the new ferules hid it quite well, the back fared a little worse as the drill pushed outward, but the base plates of the new machine heads covered that.
