I spotted this on Friday and at £100 knew it was a bargain. 84 Fury with slanted SF pickup and oddly a rosewood fretboard. I've only really seen these with maple before though I think Flat Eric might have one, fella has everything else [attachment=196781:Fury 84.jpg] Damn fine P bass with a slightly narrower neck than the T-20,infact I found very little difference between the two. Same story with my early 90's Fury.Does everything a P bass should just with that wee bit more kick. And I'd be kicking myself if I'd passed on it

Now that is tasteful And you've just reminded me about Status Halfs,I better get a set.

Congratulations on your 3rd run Stephen. If that doesn't say you're doing something right I don't know what will

Learn something everyday,for some daft reason I never considered anyone on here as the seller. It's the staggering of the listings that struck me.Take the Shergold neck and body the other week,they finished about 3 days apart if you won the 1st it's neigh on certain you gotta keep bidding on the 2nd. Course you expect and should get the best price for the parts,hindsight here at 0230 tells me if you won the 1st it's probably only you bidding on the 2nd. Still there's something about the timing and wording just don't sit right with me,might be a quirk of my nature. Anyway you'll have no problem selling the pickups,somebody just bought a neck and body they'll fit perfect in.

I was watching a Hayman project last few days. Just body and neck " I've no other parts for this bass " says the seller. Auction just ended and guess what ? the seller suddenly has the pickups listed Still saying " I've no other parts " Chances are pots and wiring loom next week.

A fella in Cardonald , Glasgow is selling a gorgeous RMI Boomslang. Seems a legit seller,been selling on Gumtree over 3 years and has pedals and a entry bass for sale too. He's asking £230 with a hardcase,less without the case. That can't be right ? If you're in Glasgow and interested. http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/boomslang-fretless-bass-sunburst/1125057479

I second that

100% agree with /\

I've had 25 years to get over it Back then with no internet and folks desperate for cash it probably happened quite often. I didn't do too badly,paid £500 for the Wal a couple of years before. SG got sold for £200 and I had a place to live

Was given a messed up Westone Concord after working on somebody's house.Still a bargain after the TLC needed. [attachment=196215:Concord.JPG][attachment=196216:Westone-Concord.jpg] Doesn't make up for the Wal though. Sold 25 year back,£250 and a beat up SG JG model,leather scratchplate,one of 46 or 47. Value ? best not to think about it

Well done Planer. It's the right thing to do , at £20 somebody would just buy and abuse this . A happy ending.

Stevie if you can spare the time from the movie business you know where I am. Drop by anytime

5 string HBZ -2005 is up just now £67 http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbz_2005_deko.htm

When he's asking £300 for a Westone Thunder I don't think so. Funnily enough when I looked just now he's nothing listed. No love in Glasgow either. There's an active 5 string with bolt on neck for £60,older model I think as it's solid black.

Same as AT I see them at around £90 but there's a crazy fella in Perth asking £200 on Gumtree Every month he lists loads of basses £100 more than their worth

I'm quite liking it full stop Ditching the pickup cover was the best idea.

Thanks lads I'm really pleased with it. I've gotta say I prefer the sunburst fretless over the fretted sunburst,think it's the unlined neck. Great time for British companies just now, what with Stephen at Chowny,David with Retrovibe and Revelation and FretKing. OK they may not be built here but that's Skelf's job

This week started off with a Retrovibe and ended with a Retrovibe. When I saw the new models last month I though " Oh aye the Super-P could be one for me " Well Tuesday I was asking David at Retrovibe a couple of questions regards the RV4 and innocently ask how the new basses were selling ? " Great " he says " Only 2 of the white Super-Ps left " This caused a wee rethink of the planned purchase.Tuesday afternoon saw me learning and failing the joys of internet banking and ordering a white Super-P. David's offering Free labour on any wiring mods,the MMs are 4 wire so series/parallel options available, and he suggested a mini toggle switch. Fantastic idea David. So the switch was duly fitted and the bass posted Thursday using next day delivery,another nice touch from Retrovibe.They don't post on Friday as the basses would lie in a depot somewhere.Double boxed and bubble-wrapped it arrived safe and sound. A beauty is how I describe it,completely flawless finish,good fret job.Set up out the box is brilliant,with low action and a well cut nut,credit card was too thick to pass under strings but business card did so just right. 43mm nut well proportioned neck is very comfortable to play,think I measured 22.4mm deep at the 3rd fret.It's a 6 screw bolt on.it's not moving anywhere. So if it'comfortable to play,it's just under 9lbs, how does it sound ? Bloody hell .David said he was happy with the P pickup,happy's an understatement I'm over the moon. Growl,bark,bite I'm never sure what term to use so I'll just say I like it and it's clear so maybe Punch would be better. This leaves the MM,having the mini toggle is a godsend.The jazz soloed sounds like a jazz perfect for pops,the MM sounds burpy like it should. Crap descriptions I know,my talent is chapping nails not my vocabulary. Now if you're looking for a P/J with that wee bit more feast your eyes [attachment=196102:Super P (1).jpg][attachment=196103:Super P (2).jpg][attachment=196104:Super P (3).jpg][attachment=196105:Super P (4).jpg][attachment=196106:Super P (5).jpg]

Could you not just wear tinted glasses if the colour bothers you Congrats on the new Lull

My take is the mobile version is very dated. I check the deko page maybe 10 times a day and don't remember many of those. What's the reason for sold out lists apart from salt in the wound ?

Great news. Gives me hope for the fretless Bass Maniac I've been after these 30 years.

That's more like it. Congrats on the NBD.

Bummer. Does kinda take the shine of yer NBD.
