Hello inspector! It was moved from elsewhere into the wanted forum. I’ll have a full report on your desk by the morning Over and out

Yes it's nice and slim - a good evolution of the original design if you ask me!

Nope, still in customs. Reckon they're playing it or something, maybe they had a gig this weekend. Not holding my breath!

Doubt they’ll ever find the body

I’m not sure about your distinction between a public and private advert? And no, negative comments on price are not acceptable. If the seller wants £XYZ for it then that’s up to them. If it’s too high it won’t sell. The market regulates itself.

Comments are fine, even just a ‘nice bass’ doesn’t cause any harm, it just bumps the thread. Don’t know why anyone would want to ban comments like that, nobody is making you read them and often some really interesting discussions can evolve. Comments on price are of course best kept private, the general rule being people can sell for whatever they like as its theirs - obviously any fraudulent or proper piss taking can and should be reported but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that happen.

If using amazon or eBay check who actually is sending the strings. There are a lot of fakes out there (especially Elixirs) so make sure it’s a proper retailer 👍🏼

I think this thread has run it's course now and given Scott has responded I think we can put it to bed.

Agree - as someone who has been on the receiving end of such criticism and stalker like detective work I also feel that this is a bit next level and quite unseemly.

The bass has been in customs for about 9 days now so at this rate i'll be pleased to have a go on it before I die (edited topic title to suit)

The TC BH series - mainly because with the toneprint you can dial in/out a couple of excellent compressors to suit your different styles. And it has a built in tuner. Perfect for the job IMO. In fact I’m sure I didn’t pay more than £400 for my BH800...

Insane lol. Bit extreme.

Yes they changed to the metal ones at some point, not sure when. I do have some of the old style ones though which I’ll probably put on. Glad you’re getting on with yours!

Actually don’t worry - banned

Please send me the details

Here she is

1991, black and maple. Quite worn in places but it was a bargain and the neck sounds fine - think it's in customs now so will sit tight for the tax ransom letter

Yeah in the states though. Should be here soon...

Basses of that calibre hold their value (unlike many custom builds) and if you can afford the price of admission (second hand) you rarely lose money buying and selling them unless you’re in a massive rush. It seems that most people aren’t, but eager to try the next one along when the opportunity arises. Good clean fun if you ask me.

My early SB1 is in the post still... might be here by the weekend, probably not!!

Hm so the bass arrived in the UK on the 20th but since then it’s disappeared from Patcelfarce’s tracking. Jolly good. I wasn’t expecting it to be here any time soon/ever so I live in hope. Not surprised in the slightest.

Yeah it was mostly tongue in cheek but upon flicking through a digital copy it did strike me as mostly Fender based. Obviously I skipped the Ricken*****r pages 😎
