Actual wear from actual playing I quite like, even more so over pristine finishes on older basses. To me it shows that the instrument is of high enough quality to have been played a lot for a long time. I don't particularly have time for anything made to look old. PMT Birmingham very nearly made me take out finance on a Sandberg last year, the only thing putting me off being the very fake reliced look. But that's just me.

I'd wait to see what the Sire PJs are like when they come out, as I'm sure we can all testify for Sires VFM.

My eyes are always on Gumtree and Facebook mate, so I'll keep it in mind.

Bad Sounds, The 2AM Club and to some degree Area11. Surprised I'm the only one that likes or even knows all three.

I remember about this time last year I was getting back into bass and I wanted a thunderbird. Still do want a thunderbird but maybe it's worth waiting around to see the 2017 Epi reviews come in, and of course finding out the rrp.

We did out of the black as a 4 piece. Bass and Guitar played the same parts as the guitar and bass channels did in the original, lead singer/rhythm guitarist played chords, drummer hit things with sticks. Simples.

Had a little think today. Is saying the Four Seasons or Genesis too old for a man in his late teens?

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1487197233' post='3238049'] Yeah, noticed that - I've found that it's kind of rare to get photos of where the side markers/dots/whatever are on any unlined fretless - but a pretty crucial omission . Despite having a Portamento for a very short while I don't actually remember where the marks were... Both my fretlesses (fretlii? ) are lined so no problems there but I've had unlined ones where the dots mark the fretlines - so if the Ibanez was like that - I think I'd get confused. Where did you manage to get your hands on one? Isn't the idea with the piezo that you get more of a double bass type thump? The Portamento at least has a couple of normal pickups to balance out the piezo in the bridge. I wasn't overly keen on the open-pore (wenge?) neck on the Portamento - it felt weird, the neck on this new one looks similar... [/quote] Ibanez Event at PMT in Brum. Sounded far too tame.

I've tried one, they're OK. Not brilliant, but OK. to me felt like the satin neck was a bit rough and the sound a bit too dull.

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1487093390' post='3237009'] I really like the Overwater Patriot shape too, but I doubt if I'd ever own one they seem too big to me. Great British Bass Lounge have a couple in stock too My current guilty obsession is for a 6er. At the top of the weird list in my head is a Basslab. They are light, unique in that they are completely made of composite material and also totally hollow including the neck. [/quote] Unique definitely. And completely hollow? how? Not my personal choice but I suppose I know I wouldnt look particularly at home playing it.

The 1975 of current bands. Easy Bass lines, millions of teenage girls head over heels, sell out gigs up and down the country. Good times.

Adele. Ideal music to make you sadder than you were before turning on the radio. Heart FM gold. To be fair though, my favourite weren't even nominated, but such is music at the minute, people would rather be crying over Adele than venture into the realms of I Like it When You Sleep, Walls, The Getaway or Blackstar, all of which are less depressing.

If anyone wants to do the honors of adding the Bleeding Sunflower Jazz Bass (now the official name) to the list. It's truly an incredible instrument and Andy has transformed it into a great looker and player.

Trying to learn The Less I Know the Better by Tame Impala for our band. The distorted bass in that never leaves yer head.

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1486231158' post='3230240'] By then, it will be it in beautiful Wales. ...but you'll be able to play my Bubinga fretless: and, if I can lever it out of Pete's grasp, his EB3ish: Fair swop? [/quote] Now that doesnt help the GAS now does it

So its here and its fantastic. What a great day. Thank you Andy!!!

If you bring it to Mids bass bash I'll let you play mine if you let me play yours...

Picking her up tomorrow. Cannae wait

Wow. Very nice. I have to admit when I first saw the body shape I wasnt convinced but now its together it looks laaavvly. Makes me want you to do some work for me... wait

[quote name='Rexel Matador' timestamp='1485968806' post='3228135'] Where are you seeing that? As far as I can see it says 34". [/quote] same here i got a bit confused
