[quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1422391353' post='2672165'] Stage four, eBay yet again comes to the rescue as I start to ask sellers questions about said musical item, and ask what they may accept...if I don't get a rise I can then carefully move to stage five (otherwise known as DEFCON 5) [/quote] DEFCON is an inverse scale, 5 is the lowest 1 is the highest.

Not exactly unusual for ESP.

So that's what a bass neck on a 6 string tele body would look like.....ridiculous.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1420723186' post='2652543'] Mathematically wouldn't a zero radius object just be a point? Flat definitely works best for me as a description. [/quote] Yes and No, depends on which school of thinking you use.

As previously mentioned looks genuine. Looks like a JV collector when looking at other items for sale.

Is it just me or are there not pictures of three different paint jobs in that advert?

Bought a MIM Classic 50s P from Scott. Great communication and totally honest about the smallest marks. Deal with confidence

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1419293916' post='2638563'] Lutes are fretted, aren't they? Gut frets rather than metal, wrapped round the neck. [/quote] I think originally they were scalloped and the ridges acted as frets. EDIT: Spelling correction

[quote name='Mwoit' timestamp='1418404466' post='2629994'] Actually, it's a M2M model from Ola. Number #51. [/quote] Wow. The board on that is incredible. I always think the bodies on them look small how does it sit?

[quote name='Mwoit' timestamp='1418259457' post='2628640'] And one for fan fret lovers. [/quote] Is that a SS Boden or an Astral?

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1416832249' post='2613956'] I bought ER20s for my girls (12 and 13), when we went to see Black Stone Cherry and Airbourne a couple of weeks ago. They struggled with the Bass levels at Wembley the year before, when we went to see Alter Bridge and Shinedown. No problems this time whatsoever. I am just about to buy a pair for myself now (Slash on Saturday ). [/quote] Wish i had taken ear plugs for Airbourne, two days of ringing wasn't the nicest.

A Skylit Drive - Love the way you Lie. Heard the original for the first time the other day and couldn't stop laughing at how bad it is.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-roadstar-ii-bass-guitar-rb650-1980s-/291291366506?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43d251846a I've got one of these (first bass) with an equally awful paintjob. Everything else is original mind. Was a pretty nice thing until i lent it to one of my mates for a year and he decided to paint it bright yellow and put some awful neon tribal tattoo designs on it! Might see if i can dig it out and rub it down for paint. No idea whether its worth £140. From what i can remember it was better than any of the squiers' that other friends had to start off with in the mid 00's so might not be too badly priced.

I hope to god that this isn't a real advert. Not anyone on here by chance? http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/supple-tits-t696583.html

Ishibashi are very good. Got one of the weird Japanese special edition Jazz's earlier this year (PJ based on a 62 jazz with badass) was second hand a few marks. To door the price was £625 including shipping, VAT, import duty and parcel forces storage charge. Actual bass price was around £490. Moving on to the eBay one, thats a Hipshot A not a badass. Its probably as people have said before at least £500 overpriced plus you don't know if its been rewired by a clown. As far as i'm aware Fender Japan don't make unlined jazz's currently.

Seeing as its trademarked i'm assuming Acoustic Science means these guys. http://acoustic-science.com/the-science/

The global shipping programme is fairly easy to opt out of.

Can only say from experience, i used to use .145 tapered for drop A on a corvette and it sounded very clear. I know Amos Williams uses .145 for an A on 34" also. I remember looking at the DR DDT 5's at the time and was surprised the "heavy" set only goes to .135 but didn't try them so cant really comment.

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1414331907' post='2588295'] I disagree with the premise that disliking a piece of music or a genre makes you a musical snob. Surely that would require you to consider one genre to be superior to others? I'd say that different genres are just that - different. Not better or worse or superior or inferior, just different. And different people will like or dislike them according to their own personal taste - and that can change from day to day anyway! Being snobbish about music is about as pointless as being snobbish about colours. [/quote] This^^^ I probably have one of the oddest iTunes library's out of everyone i know. Don't think there is one Genre that isn't covered in some way, ill try and listen to something rather than judging it but there is some stuff i really just can't get into. Does that make me a snob for just disliking something? It's not as if i'm saying the music i listen to is far superior to this or even that a certain band/genre is sh*t, i'm just saying its not for me. Isn't part of liking music about not giving a toss what other people think anyway?
