It's their company & they'll make up any stories they want!

 

They have 4 of these for sale, for some reason the P/J variant's significantly cheaper.

Yes, the PJ one must be heavier due to the bigger pick up and they charge more for the postage.

Someone needs to get on his case!

this thread needs locking...

Despite the 'storied' background of the UK company, that Bass looks very much of generic far eastern manufacture, it has to be at that price!

"Fully covid and electrically cleaned, this is reflected in the price"........!

Is that railing a 'rooster booster'?

Why not ask him, he's a member here as 'Slapthatbassuntil'moffmyt*ts' ?

Seems they have listened to you...

I like the feature set, and the price is great. Just can’t get past the fact that it looks like a VHS player.

I've got a spare VHS remote control if anyone wants it...

Just come back from seeing Gong, utterly disappointed.

 

I knew there were no original members, but the music was so divorced from anything I know as Gong it was almost a case of the trades descriptions act. Selling Camembert Electrique t-shirts was the icing on the cake.

 

On a broader note, what gives a band its identity - and when should the trigger’s broom principle come into play? 

Nice mixed metaphor on the foods theme there!

Look on Vintage Guitar Shop stock lists, but you will see the retail value. The one below  says 'sold out' but if you go on the 'finance options' you can see it was up for £4850 which seems cheap?

Yes, a good listen...

It's also worth checking Sierra (and her band) out on her YouTube channel. 

 

Ironically Sierra is not playing a tiny instrument...

F*ckin disgrace that a Zebra lost its life for that...oh, and shouldn't that be 'Muzoo' brand?

Weird things are afoot, I think the universe has a deep desire for me to own this bass. Just had a seller offer of £239 (should really stop clicking on the listing) and funnily enough I also have the CYBER10 code which makes this bass £234.90.

 

 

Another thing - why does his ParcelForce48 service cost £18.50 when you can send a full size/weight bass box using that service for £8 drop off or £9.35 collected?

He's twigged that sometimes if you sell something too cheap people think it is cheap so if you put £200 markup on a bass you bought for £25 and charge £18.50 for something that costs £8.00 it garners a sense of prestige. I call it the Harrods effect....!

Bass soloing? What witchcraft are you bringing to this forum....

So what are Fender, especially USA ones, worth?

I assume this is a rehtorical question as you seem to have answered it in your post! An alternative answer may be 'what the market will baerr'? ( delibearate missssspelling)😉

Great clip.

 

Nails all those "Is it the player or the gear" discussions.

Not sure why Sonny T changed to a Fender ( 'the smallest one they had') for the second tune?

That Kala Bass sounds well cool....

Thanks Davie.  Now they look very interesting, although the one I would be most interested in is out of stock.  Have you dealt with them or even own one?

I bought a 5 string Telebass one quite a few years ago but returned it as the build quality was not good and there were a number of minor blemishes too. I believe they import the bodies and maybe necks from Asia and assemble them in Czech Republic. I seem to remember there was something wrong with the bridge too.

Apologies if so.  I looked at quite a few topics but didn't see it.

Try looking back to around October 2020ish? ( don't ask me how I know). Recognise that bridge......and can't think why it has not sold yet.
