Which can only be a good thing then 👍

I reckon Tim Burton might make his dinner in his Ninja listening to that track 👻 Yep, photo posed quite the challenge for me too (not a bad thing), so just knocked out a quick entry as my ‘jingle’ was doing my head pretty quickly 😂

I’ve never been an expert by any means - every time I think the prices may have hit a ceiling, they continue to climb and climb….

When I was working in the vintage guitar trade I was told in 2008 by a solid UK source that there is a group of vintage dealers in the States that get together each year prior to a trade show and certain vintage prices are set from there, and like you say, the rest follow and other vintage gear rises accordingly.

First year, radio knobs, long poles… Mental price though 😊

Wow, someone has beaten @Baloney Balderdash to the first tune posted! If 6 was 1 - You won't catch me singing, so because the Air Fryer poster said it's '6 in 1' I decided to do a little jingle in 6 styles.

That’d be great, thanks. And hope to see you this month too, pick an inspiring picture for you! 😊

Congrats @Wolfram, great tune 👌 Over to you for the October picture 👍

That’s definitely good enough, and helpful, as a decent tech will do the wiring diagram themselves and discuss options/possibilities etc. 👍

Thanks, nice bit of history. Refund sounds good too - we used to call them 'Vintage and Dear' due to their prices, but I always got on well with the London shop folks. Cheers

That’s cool, always nice to know a bit about the journey 👍 The acoustic tone is stunning, I often play it unplugged on the couch. It’s not looking like I’ll master fretless playing anytime soon, so this bass fits nicely in the fun to own category as it just seems way too good to pass on.

Yep - still have to pinch myself that I sold it 😂 Oh well, we needed cash quick for a new floor and a couch and for some odd reason I couldn't justify keeping the bass 😕 Anyway, lovely playing in the vid Warren, and genuinely so chuffed you love it and use it. Though I very much doubt you'll ever move it on, and I can't blame you pal

First time using the Aguilar plugin suite which fixed a problem for me, though a problem I didn’t quite fix was my intonation on the fretless Stingray I got recently and recorded with for the first time, so it only appears in 2 small sections by the skin of it's teeth 😬 Coasting - a deep dreamy kind of vibe that reminds me partly of holidays abroad years back, and partly of British summers in my youth - this tune kind of captures both for me. Though there’s a tiny bit of rock thrown in towards the end too as they were just sat there, scattered on the beach….

Although I regularly use Helix for headphone practice, I found the bass amps/cabs to be more quality over quantity when i started recording with them.

I like it a lot. Previously was using a Helix, though the Noble preamp replica most often when recording as I struggled with the amp options. I also sometimes used Logic amps, often with the Helix Noble, but again I wasn’t that fussed with them either. This plugin works for me as I like the tone of the AG amps, but also find the others useful. And the cabs work well for me too. I was debating the spend, but the ease of use and instant ‘better than what I have’ made it a quick no brainer for me. I expect other people’s opinions may vary.

Another smooth and friendly deal, cheers Ian 👍

Very nice, where’s it from?

This bass was a real saviour during a period when I couldn’t play a long scale, but was playing a lot. 1971 Musicmaster, cost me £250 in 2004. When I got it the pickup, pickguard and bridge were changed and it had a natural varnish finish. I soon after added a Jazz pup, and Mustang tuners. Later it had a new bridge, pickguard and sunburst respray shortly before I sold it to a guy who also bought my ‘78/9 Sabre that I always wanted back… Sold this Musicmaster when I was able to use a P Bass again and needed some cash. Great bass, really loved it, ideally would have kept it for nostalgia and odd times of playing it. The neck was divine 🤤

In my 20s I was playing a lot and living in single room bedsits and moving often, I always had at least 4 basses/guitars with me and could move all my belongings in a small hatchback (this was the late 90s when there were pretty small). Guess it’s about priorities 🎸🎸🎸🎸😂
