    May I ask what kind of sound you are after? Could it be achievable with a change of strings (do you use rounds but your ideal sound is made using flats?). Maybe the wealth of knowledge here can guide you more specifically. I understand what you mean about 'better' gear. I think most of that is in the mind rather than actual. I remember feeling really cool when I bought my first Fender but I don't think I actually played any better.

    Vintage red tortoiseshell Pbass scratchplate. On the WD website this is product number PB-405R (£71). It was on a bass briefly but is in excellent condition. This is the type of scratchplate used in the 70's. £40 delivered (in the UK).

    I know that feeing only too well. I think one of the reasons I have the gear I do is because I have had to sell stuff, over the years, to make ends meet - not a pleasant experience. I know what it's like when th gig money buys a loaf of bread and not a new bass/amp. Very best of luck with the new venture. If you want any help with VAT then feel free to PM me (I am an ex-VAT man and now in charge of VAT at a company with a good few £billion turnover). It's not much but may save you a few quid as you start up. As others have said, don't get too hung up on the gear you use. I suspect that your feelings are more to do with your current inability to get anything else principally.

    It says Dorchester (which is an actual place - sounds a bit Thomas Hardy). Not a million miles from Bournemouth (to give you a very rough idea).

    I've only ever been to one major festival. Isle of Wight 2011. I only went then because I was playing for the band closing the festival on the Sunday night. Dead nice backstage, mind.

    Time for a bit of a bump.

    The cameras seemed to prefer his backing singer.

    It's more than the budget (unhappily) but the Aerodyne is chamfered so it looks rather like a two bladed axe in cross section.
  10. Steve Browning
    Is it worth including the original ad you refer to? Not too sure how either other comments help identify the bass but some might be confused about it.
  11. Steve Browning
    Yes. I am happy to do that. They do seem to be quite rare, especialy in red.
  12. Steve Browning
    Yes, it is the same model. I thought you were thinking it had been sold on Basschat before.
  13. Steve Browning
    Blimey. The problem is solved someone reviews it as being perfect for heavy metal. Case closed!! :-)
  14. Steve Browning
    I don't think that'll be this bass but you'll get the idea certainly. They are certainly very striking.
  15. Steve Browning
    Sure Brian. Is there anything you want in particular? PM me your email if you like and I can take whatever you want to see. I can email the full size pictures if that helps.
  16. Steve Browning
    My band use a TX10 (Alto) to great effect. Not as powerful as the TS series but it is plenty loud enough for the job you describe.
  17. Steve Browning
    Go in to edit the original post and select 'use full editor'

    Seems it went for $68,750 in the end.
  19. Steve Browning
    Thank you. Yes, it's a reallly great looking thing and plays just as good as it looks.
  20. Steve Browning
    Time for a bump. I could include a Fender SKB shaped case with some adjustment.
  21. Steve Browning
    I could post it certainly. I haven't had any problems posting.but try and chicken out of it if I can. IT comes in a very well padded Warwick gig bag which is is more tha capable of keeping it safe and supports the neck properly too. Are you at the other end of the country. You may be surprised at how far I'd go to meet rather than post it (it's more personal as much as anything).
  22. Steve Browning
    Thanks Nik. It's very striking for sure.
  23. Steve Browning
    Very pretty, lightweight Aerodyne in CAR with matching headstock. The usual excellent Japanese build quality in a nice light instrument that is very comfortable to play. Pickups have been upgraded to US versions for a bit more oomph and give a huge tonal variety. I have rarely used it and that is why it should find a home where it will be played. Collection preferred and I am willing to travel a reasonable distance to place into your hot, sweaty hand. Feel free to ask any questions.
  24. Steve Browning
    I say this only to show how diverse people tastes (or lack of) are but I simply cannot stand to hear his playing. I appreciate my bank manager will take a different view. The plaque is, indeed, a nice touch and should be applauded. More of it, for sure.

    I keep seeing (in my mind) that film clip of Woodie Allen playing the cello in a marching band!
