    I find this quite extraordinary that someone would do this. Is that from BC or elsewhere?

    These are wonderful basses. From Paul they always need some work, but they’re incredible value for money.

    I’m not sure DB lessons will help, to be honest. I experienced what you did with all EUBs and in the end, invested in an MK bass. Appreciate it’s not for everyone, but I just found my technique (as much as I have one!) was compromised too much by the Stagg that it affected ‘real’ DB playing.

    Nice spot.

    These transcriptions are just wonderful. What a fantastic thing to do with your spare time.

    Just found one of these on Thomann B stock for a litre over £100. Couldn’t resist.
  8. Burns-bass
    Agreed. I paid over £100 for mine in the 90s and it was a POS.

    The sock was a winner, and I’m sure it improved my tone too so I’ve got a copyright on the idea and will be a millionaire (maybe!)

    He looks like a super cool dude! It’s an ‘upgraded’ 60s or 70s Precision (I’d say 70s) jazz with a late 60s Telecaster neck fitted - check out the lollipop tuners.

    That’s a brilliant idea. I’ll use a padded walking sock and see how I get on! I had considered cutting some foam to fit, but this is much more practical.

    This is a weird question, but bear with me... We’ve converted our loft into and office/practice room which is amazing. I’ve got my DB set up but I find that lifting it off the stand often results in me hitting the eaves with the scroll. I could be careful, but I’m just a clumsy person, so wondered if anyone had any ideas on what I could put on top to protect the scroll. Any ideas?

    He's now selling just the body on its own. Weird!

    When you remove VAT and international shipping you’re left with, what, say £80. Given a 100% markup, these have to be landed in Germany for about £40, which is quite frankly incredible. I have a HB shirt scale which is amazing too.

    I'd snap this up in a second if I could find my way to Tunbridge Wells. You won't be disappointed with this. The MK basses are the best EUBs I've ever played.

    Great bass. Really sorry you have to sell it during this difficult time.

    And to be fair he appeared to have driven to most of these pubs himself and he is a self-confessed former alcoholic so I reckon he deserves a pass.

    Watch the programme. It was actually really well made and Tom owns and runs 3 pubs himself, so certainly understands the business . My dad used to work in the trade, but I must admit to having almost no knowledge of how tough it is for publicans, particularly those in tied pubs. The concept of the show is Tom helping some amazing people make more money from their community pubs, and while I typically hate reality TV this was really good. The guys who run the pub in question seem like the perfect landlords, but the only ones losing out are them.

    I’ve been really enjoying this. But I prefer slightly simpler instruments with passive controls. Ive had a few offers and, while I welcome them, I feel £700 is fair so I’ll hold out for that for a while longer.
  21. Burns-bass
    This.

    My favourite sellers are the antagonistic ones that want to sell a vintage bass for £3000 but won’t ‘take it apart or photograph it’. ”Just trust me, it’s definitely legit. Honest...”

    My point was a trained killer duffing up a drug-addled junkie hardly seems a fair fight. Do people even steal stereos anymore? If you do see someone, just phone the police. Personally, I’d rather they deal with it than someone (anyone) dispensing their own form of justice.

    I have an FSR US Fender and it’s just brilliant. If I didn’t have to spend thousands on a new roof for my daughters bedroom I’d buy this.

    Not sure this sort of thing helps to be honest, but if it made him feel better then I’m sure that what matters.
