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.

What's happened to the start of the NBD ? 3 days back all looked rosy.

Meddle I've got that Spear in the " watch " list . Nothing wrong with greenburst,one of the T-40s nearly got that. Alyctes why not the adorable Dean in Nuclear Green ? I've had to stop myself from getting one many times [attachment=195956:Dean Green.jpg] But then I've my fair share like this [attachment=195957:B20 (2).jpg] or this[attachment=195958:Wesely Plexi.jpg]

My thoughts exactly but this week the mantra is " don't need another P bass, don't need another red bass, don't need another Peavey bass "

The Mickey bass is fantastic but why is nobody making them. The web page is dead and last FB entry 2012.

I just noticed this on Gumtree up here. Red line round the head Peavey Fury,if memory serves me well means early 90s and a 100w Fender Rumble asking £200. Not a bad bit of kit , and they may split the sale. http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/fender-rumble-100w-bass-amp-peavey-fury-bass-guitar/1124250741

A further search revealed it's an Overwater by Tanglewood but judging by a few threads on here that's no reason to complain. His RRP is a bit out Kenny's Music in Glasgow have one for £399,with no bids yet and the postage it's an attractive deal.

This seems very cheap even with the £30 postage added http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OVERWATER-ASPIRATION-ELITE-BASS-WILL-POST-/400950968135 Anyone interested should be quick as it ends tonight. KB

Technical can be over-rated Lets face it there's not a whole lot to a bass,though the inside of my Tune is a bit much. Fingers crossed it's a good'un.

Aye it'll be working buelljack. I've bought a couple of B-stock,no problems with either. I'll be looking out for your respray post,

Shame you had to contact them first. Would it not have been better if they let you know sooner.

Mr Mooseblaster recently had a string clear out and kindly sent me a set of Rotos. As he wouldn't take postage costs I asked if a charity could be named,his other half nominated the worthy http://www.friendshipworks.org.uk/ An excellent result for everyone. Many thanks Ralph you're top fella.

buelljack B stock are sold and returned basses.
