  1. I'm not a roadworn fan and am under no illusions that I could morph myself into Flea, so it's a no from me. I had a go on one some time back in a music shop and was underwhelmed. That said, I do have a neckplate off a Flea which is destined for a fretless partsblaster I'm in the process of putting together, or maybe I'll put it on my other fretless Jazz which has pickups and controls off Geddys (two different ones); thereby making it a mixed celeb bass!
  2. I had a go on one at a guitar show a couple of years ago; I'd summarise it as an average travel bass with a couple of wavy bits of plastic stuck to it.
  3. I meant the Poly D. I'm no keyboard player, so would likely just noodle around and work out a couple of tunes. I'm not in real Moog territory (unless they're really cheap and/or it's a set of Taurus pedals at the same time as I have a pocketful of spare cash!).
  4. I have one of these and I really like it. My only issue is that I spend ages looking for a compatible keyboard and then they went and release the model with an integral one!
  5. Hmmm, it has its drawbacks.
  6. It's a Vox Clubman; the paint was really rubbish close-up. The body is mostly sanded back to the bare (ply)wood - I just need to get some red-lead to paint it with now!
  7. So, the WD40 is now unemployed...
  8. Following @Madein1962's comment, I think that the jack plate is the only item which hasn't changed! 🙂
  9. I think they've got 38 products at the moment, so 2 to go?
  10. What about the knobs and jack plate? 🙂
  11. OK, so now there's a mission to find it (was it TV, an interview, an album?).
  12. Well, that may be a fact, but the product features include penetrating and that's what it was commony known as. 🙂
  13. That's a ridiculous price for something which has been maimed in such a way! Mind you, I bought this lovely "Fender" at a car boot some years ago... (I still haven't got the refin done.)
  14. There was a can of WD-40 contact cleaner in the goody bag at the Screwfix Show last year. I don't think I've used it; I've still got a half-full Maplin one. It is one of a range of WD-40 products, but the name has tended to be a bit Hooverised to refer to the original penetrating oil. https://www.wd40.com/products/ (Back in the day, the bass guitar used to be called the The Fender Bass.)
  15. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196134833272
  16. It is pure baloney, isn't it?
  17. Hmmm - could that go on a Ric copy project of mine...
  18. My main strap is one I had made for me by a leatherworker; it's a non-adjustable strip of leather made to my specified length with a Straplock at each end.
  19. The unattributed "owned by", which the seller admitted was tenuous: "The owner of the boat said he bought the boat off a member of the Womble and these were left on the boat"
  20. Good to see someone's on the case!
  21. I've never seen this before...
  22. Not sure it's a bargain - several have sold for that sort of money. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=sterling+ray34&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 There are a few offered at significantly higher prices, in the hope of people not twigging that Sterling is MM's equivalent brand to Fender's Squier.
  23. Rare = expensive (Whether or not it's worth it!) OTOH, new ones are £600! https://www.rosetti.co.uk/rickenbacker-vintage-reissue-case-4000-bass-series
  24. I've seen AI-generated descriptions in watch for sale ads too.
