Careful with tune selection, you don't want a frosty reception.. 

Thanks Pete 

Curious to know people's views on this..

I have always pronounced it to rhyme with tone but have heard some use the word epiphany. 

There is a small part of my brain that rhymes it with phoney as they are fake Gibsons, but that's just on the inside!

Ski resort residency is poles apart from your normal gigs.

I remember that bass!

I ummed and Ahhhhed about that too...never realised it was the only one!

I still haven't quite got over it! I even messaged the seller trying to track down the new owner but no reply 

I really wanted a fretless Retrovibe Zygote that was on eBay but couldn't quite free up the cash in time. It sold for £270.

A couple of months later I was buying a fretted Zygote from David@retrovibe, happened to mention the fretless one - imagine my dismay when I found out it was the only one in existence. I was properly upset I can tell you.

I have put my name down for this, look forward to meeting you all :-) 

I have 8 wall hangers, starting to worry now...

I definitely want it, just need someone to buy my very reasonably priced Ashdown rig on eBay first.

I bought one of those on eBay a few months ago - I paid £22 to have it shipped with parcelforce so I don't know where he got his shipping cost from? 

I recently had to start wearing varifocals which are bigger and heavier than my old glasses. Positioning is critical for the focus to work so the arms are set to grip my head much tighter, uncomfortable at first but I have got used to it. The added bonus is that they don't slip down my nose.

I guess the point I am trying to make is that you may not need to buy anything, just a bit of frame adjustment required which most opticians will do for free.

Is he playing Grindcore? 

Paying by PayPal gives you as much protection as paying with a credit card. PayPal always favours the buyer in disputes. 

Can't get it all in one photo...

That's pretty special 

I have watched a couple struggle to sell on eBay recently at ~£200, which is crazy for such a good bass. 

I quite fancy adding one to my collection but am a little over-committed at the moment otherwise I would make you an offer on payday. (I have chronic GAS so may yet find a way to justify it!) 

I have a Harley Benton 5-string in my collection (a B-550-FL) and it's amazing value for money. The 4-string version is about £120 + shipping brand new.

The machine heads were a bit crap so I changed them, added a decent set of flatwounds and it's great :-) 

I just spotted this - pretty sure it's not a genuine CT but it looks nice nonetheless.

There are some really interesting basses in Japan it seems :-) 

Whilst I have every sympathy for the poor fella in the linked article I can't help thinking that someone who is likely to black out at the wheel probably shouldn't be in that line of work. 

Couriers are under tremendous pressure, it's certainly not a job I would like to have. 

That looks really good, do you think it would look better with black hardware?

I was watching that too, although it was too far from me really. I certainly didn't expect it to get that price and wouldn't be at all surprised to see it relisted. 

The body itself is pretty good - the paint finish is a different story.. 

I can't help with the comparison but do have an RBX765A - it's a fantastic bass. Low action, nice slim neck and a massive range of tones. 

Thanks guys. I will be creating a build thread soon on the JB Special - it's been properly abused but I think I can save it.

It looked like this when I got it! Yes that is white emulsion - about 4mm thick in places..
