    I refer the honourable gentleman to my build threads for evidence of my ability to put things together.

    I am clearing. Stop me from putting these in landfill (apart from the DB table). Yours for the cost of postage. I am clearing. I have a bunch of DB kind of stuff. I have some DB book ends £12 each (£6 for the 3 string one) I have some DB kind of ornaments - £7 each I have a DB table (front - not for putting your coffee on). I am not sure how to post this and I should probably oil it and hang it on the wall as I originally intended. £190 I have a full size poster of Bottessini's DB (I bet he smashed a different one every gig.........) printed on lush paper £30.

    I am done with keeping things incase. £50 to your door. This is a very cool onboard headphone preamp which also has a mini jack stereo in so that you can play with no outboard to your heart's content. When I saw it I KNEW I had to have one. But the bass it was going into will not accomoddate it and I am in a clearing phase to it is available. Did not know you needed you did, but fancy it you do. It is featured in this build

    I had one 35 years ago. It was fine and dandy. I am yet to play a duff Yamaha.

    Perhaps I should have done more market research before bumping

    I have 3 of these. Mark 2 HPF, phase and vol £70 SOLD Mark 1 HPF and Phase £60 Hybrid - £40. HPF and vol. One I had made for me which is now in a Boss pedal carcass. Standard Boss 9v power and switching to roll off some top end. It has an earth hum which means it will need some work so it is for someone who understands inside things.

    Mine was delivered to the wrong address. I knocked on the door and he denied it to my face. It was only down to a persistent courier that I got it at all. DHL as a company were just washing their hands of the whole affair.

    I have dropped you a PM about lessons Bob.

    The worrying thing is that it has clearly been sitting SOMEWHERE for all that time and someone put it there.

    I am glad it was all sorted. I have had 4 weeks of that and it was grim. 5 months must have been extra extra extra grim.

    I am glad you are enjoyng it! I would love him to make me a 5 string one. I love his aesthetic. But he will not. It is not for the want of asking

    It is interesting that the definition of vintage is more fluid than it was say 25 years ago. In the olden days anything after 1965 was deemed to be uncool. I love my '66 but was gutted when I eventually realised that it was not a "proper" vintage Fender (Jan 5th so 5 days out). Now that I am older and fatter/wiser (one of those is correct) I am more than happy with it and would kind of miss that binding. The pre-CBS stuff I have played have mostly been very nice, but I can guaratnee that elements of that were because I wanted them to be. If we want something to be something then we will project onto that something whether that is a bass, a car, a significant other, a potential significant other or even a politician (don't get me started). And nowhere proves that better than the internet. The amount of kit I have bought with my eyes rather than my ears is insane. Of course any Fenders from the 70s were just the uncoolest instruments on the planet. Then I bought a 73 neck and body and bodged up an instrument. It is exceptionally nice so there goes that definition as well. Quality control slipped in the 70s so I am sure there are basses which are not as nice, but the reality is if my 73 was the only bass I had I could be more than happy. Collectors/Purists will "decide" what the market will stand and then it becomes a "truth". The things that were made when "we were young" but could not afford them will always be "the ones". I am more than happy with this because the time will come when I will shift my '66 and happily take the fat profit of whatever I get over the £400 I paid for it. Do I love knackered old Fenders? Yep. Do I think of buying a damaged Sei J5 and getting it resprayed in nitro and reliced? Yep.
