    Beautiful bass! 👌 Far to good to be sitting around unused, @Rich Glad to hear Paul's done such a good job on it too... Under Wal himself, and Pete the Fish, 'Wal' customer service was always outstanding over the years, and Paul has maintained that tradition for sure.

    That's a very good price for such a quality instrument! GLWTS 👍 😊

    That's great, and I get that it's basically a light entertainment show. But, being the aging, grumpy, muso that I am, I'll quite happily continue listening to more Beatles and Floyd outtakes and re-releases for my musical entertainment.... That said, it does seem to have become quite political in recent years, which is an unexpected and interesting development.

    Fake news! 😁 Kind of compliments the fake acts, fake songs vibe though... 🤔

    No. I can't see this particular choice of UK song contest entrant having a seismic impact on world affairs Chris. Does anyone really care about Eurovision anyway...? It's a very, very outdated and tired idea IMHO.

    Cheers for posting this, Mick... 👍

    Just had the pleasure of dealing with @Stewart for the first time, who's kindly sold me a really cool and great sounding Dave Hall preamp. It was the perfect Basschat transaction because Stewart's comms have been great from start to finish, and the preamp arrived in super-quick time and in bullet-proof packaging. All in all, an excellent experience... Suffice to say that you can deal with Stewart in complete confidence, Folks! 👌 And thanks for the preamp Stewart - I know I'm going to enjoy it! 👍😊 Cheers, Nik

    Beautiful guitar @Owen and GLWTS! I just have a quick Luddite question for you though, if I may.... What's a 'grown up'? 🤔

    PM sent re: Dave Hall preamp....

    Yep, you can't say 'h#%t' on here anymore, otherwise the H#%t Police will come round quicker than you can say vintage 90s British Bass Goodness...

    I recently bought a vintage Trace head from @King Tut and though not exactly the same series as this one, I'm amazed at how good it sounds, and how much 'clout' it has to borrow your word @Sparky Mark. Based on that, this amp must sound fantastic, especially with the matching cabinet! As Mick said, "... gear didn't get better it just got lighter." GLWTS 👍😊

    Have to say that I'm really suprised this is still here given it's one of the Indonesian made models and it's had some very nice mods done to it... Gotta say, it makes me think of this, which is undoubtedly a good reference point (for those of us of a certain age and musical persuasion)... GLWTS 👍😊

    Nowhere as a band, to be honest. But Eg has had a pretty stellar career since then, as artist/writer/producer. The reason I know this is that I was in a band at the time and we knew Yip Yip Coyote, went to the same gigs, clubs etc.. Plus, they were big BowWowWow fans, like my band were, so we shared common musical influences, tastes etc. I nearly bought an Odyssey bass myself back in the mid 90s (that was being advertised on Loot) , told myself I couldn't afford it, and then regretted it for months afterwards.. What a fool I was! 🤦😁

    Wow, I was only thinking about this bass the other day @sambecker1. I bet it sounds glorious now with those Pino flats and new pots. As you say, the neck on this is lovely and, it definitely has an authoritative, funky character to it sonically, what with that one-piece ash body and maple neck... As I said in my for sale ad for it last year, this bass belonged to the late, great and very much-missed Nick Smith, so it has proper Basschat provenance to it... I think we can all agree that Nick knew a good bass when he played/heard one... And this lovely old, vintage Hardpuncher is definitely one of those! I'm sorry to see it up for sale again so soon, but it really is a 'players bass' that deserves to be played - so hopefully it'll find a new home on here soon. 🙏 Best of luck with the sale, Sam! 👍😊

    Great to hear this news, Paul! 🙏 You're such a creative person, it must have been torturous not being able to play and make music for so long. Look forward to hearing what happens next.. 😊👍 All the best, Nik

    Still usung my B3 regularly... Apart from the fact that it's so versatile (tuner/fx unit/drum machine for home practice/digital interface etc), it has some great sounding patches including some very good amp models. The patches I use most on it though are the compressors, in particular the DBX compressor which, in a gigging situation, is so, so useful! I bought another one on here last year so I have 2 now; one for rehearsals and gigs that's permanently packed in my accessories case, and the other just sits at home on my practice amp. For this price, this is an absolute bargain! Best of luck with the sale. 👍😊 Nik

    Amazing stuff @Gunsfreddy2003! 👌👏😊 So good to see something like this ; genuine, real and dare I say it - 'old school'. It's exactly what we need to halt the endless flood of intangible, faceless, online 'content we're all drowning in... Will definitely check it out and support. 👍

    Hi Folks, Echoing all the uber-positive feedback above for David, aka, @MungoBass, who I've just bought an Hughes and Kettner Red 5 DI/cab simulator 'thingamajig' from... .. To be honest, I've no idea what it does, or how to use it, but it's exactly as described and it looks really cool... 😆 Anyway, back on topic, David's a great person to deal with, super-quick delivery and good comms throughout.. All in all, s credit to the Basschat community! And yes, this InPost thing is really good isn't it @Owen.... 😁 Anyway, thanks again David and all the best for now! 🙏😊 Nik

    That's a very handsome looking instrument you have there @eude And the soundcloud clips - 'Old Piece' - in particular, are great! GLWTS 👍😊

    Just did a very nice deal with @petecarlton Who I can't speak highly enough about.. ... Great comms, easy to deal with and all round top Basschatter, so deal with in complete confidence, Folks! 👌😊 Thanks again Pete and I hope you enjoy the Eden head. Nik

    Just bought a lovely vintage Trace amp from @King Tut, aka Colin, who - apart from being a really easy and great person to deal with - happens to own two fantastic Rickenbacker 4003 basses! 👌👌 I was on my way to a rehearsal unfortunately, so there wasn't enough time to stay longer for the obligatory 'bass chat', but I hope we can get to do that at some point in the future, because I know it'll be a lot of fun. 😁 Suffice to say that you can deal with Colin in complete confidence, Folks. 👍 Thanks a lot for the Trace head Colin, and here's to the next one... 😊 Cheers, Nik

    Thanks David, I'd like to take it please. Will PM you.. Cheers, Nik

    Hi there @MungoBass, I'm interested in this - what would UK postage be on top please? Many thanks, Nik
