Of course he is yet to reply. I'm just asking how much extra he wants for shipping, as he's in Glasgow I believe. Considering I live in Birmingham and can't drive yet, anything more than 20 miles away might as well be China

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1452170582' post='2947199'] There is one in the classifieds here at the moment for £200. [/quote] Yeah I sent him a PM

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I do like the look of the Marcus Sire V7, but it would mean shipping it from Thomann and not playing it firsthand. Same problem with the HB idea as well.

If I'm driving by then I'll come along. May even drag a few pals along.

Ah so the thunderbird has gone from £190 up to £265. I didn't read the date on HUKD

Just seen this - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/epiphone-ebtbvsbh1-thunderbird-iv-reverse-electric-bass-guitar-189-99-amazon-2356854 Ermmm. Really. Really. Tempted.

ive just got back into playing bass guitar (I say just, it's been about 3 months of spending 4+ straight hours a day). I'm still rocking the admittedly bad EB-O I had as my first bass. As a first bass it did the job a few years back but I'm looking for something a bit more fantastic. That being said, at the age of 18 and at college only earning £70 a week at my part time job, I haven't exactly got much in the way of funds. I've been looking at the Squier VMJ 70s and the Epi Thunderbird, as well as some of Thomanns Harley Bentons (with the idea of putting in new pickups and bridge and still having a fairly cheap and good looking bass). If anyone knows of any good value (sub £350) bass guitars, I'd like to hear their thoughts.
