i have been in your situation and have since over compensated  to make sure im never there again! if you require a bass to borrow i have a few 

Here is mine,I think I paid between £30-40 for it!

im pretty sure they are Gotoh pickups i have a set somewhere

i had a couple of these back in the day,i remember the neck plate print and the larger 70s style machine heads

used one as my main bass for quite some time was a great bass although both the ones i had were rosewood fingerboards

i saw that as im in Kent its on my watchlist but i wont bid have to many p basses.

i had the maida vale which was nice enough,but for me the tonerider is  a great pickup for the money

i have one in my old Fernandes and when i plugged it in the other day after a while of not using it,i had forgotten how nice and punchy it is.

Nice basses

it doesnt feel that wide its a really nice neck profile

I have one its a really nice bass,Bartolini pickups/electronics,hipshot bridge and schaller tuners with a wenge fret board and flame maple top.

It plays really nice i have never had to touch the setup.

I don't see it - I get Paramount+ via my Sky box, but it's not obvious. Where are you seeing it?

 

Also Channel 5 have another hour's edited version on 12.05am Thursday (ie Wednesday night). Might be the same as the MTV 90s show.

 

 

Its on mine under the MTV listings, i only got iparamount to watch it live and couldnt find it on the day and watched it on youtube live via MTV in the end.

Its on paramount + now and you can get free 7 day trial

Thats bad,how can they send that out as a new bass.

i saw that ad as its not far from me,the body may not be original as someone has cut a big access panel in front of it,and it has a square neckplate with a serial starting with 3 on it.

i thought the neck looked original but with the neckplate having a different serial and not knowing what happened with the body it looks like a bit of a mashup.

Here's my jaguar nice playing bass few little finish marks but plays and sounds great.

usa jazz deluxe

My fretless pair Wilkes and Fender jazz deluxe

i have used fine wire wool on a few of my bass necks and it does the job without removing much finish.

If it has the tug bar and dot inlays should be the short scale EB3 epiphone i have the same version custom shop epiphone i put an Artec in mine and i kinda like it.

hey i have just seen this one on gumtree this is the shortscake EB3

Epiphone Bass | in Darvel, East Ayrshire | Gumtree

they did a short scale Epiphone EB3,i have one and i used to use it at band practise because it fit in the boot of my car easy.

i fitted the Artec mudbucker and it has the thump if needed.

Still has serial/model number on it.

Congratulations 👏 nice bass.

Saw that one for sale, was tempted to buy that to go with my Avon Grabber,I bought recently.

I was a big Metallica fan from my back in my schooldays(im 50 now),and loved all the Cliff era and i remember buying the $5.98 EP when Jason joined and the bass sounded great,i bought and justice...  on vinyl and it sounded terrible on my system back then.

I kind of went off them to a degree after that i just couldnt listen to it,i loved master of the puppets but as a follow up and with a bass player you knew could do the business that mix was shocking.

I bought this recently good basses.
