  1. Gretsch Junior Jet 2. Absolutely trounces anything else in the price range. It's a perfectly giggable bass with unbelievable build quality, looks great and sounds absolutely superb!
  2. I've had this exact same thing. I don't get it. Surely it's easier to just bring the bloody parcel to the door that it is to faff about writing a card.
  3. Well if you've only got the one you can probably have a whip round and pay him back for the ticket.
  4. Why?! I'm afraid I just don't get it, and I never will. Why anyone wound pay a grand extra for a f#cked up looking bass is absolutely beyond my comprehension. I'd rather save a grand and f#ck it up myself through years of hard work and gigging. Maybe then I could sell it for a grand more than I paid for it?
  5. Don't worry we've all been there. Wake up only to find your night time GAS has been more costly than you expected. Clean up on isle three!
  6. I'm thinking of quitting my current band. It's getting more and more obvious by the day that the singer hates me. Mind you it's my own fault. I probably shouldn't have married her.
  7. Can I add a 3rd. 3. It's got loads of nobs and a switch. Everyone knows more is better. If one of them goes up to 11 it's my dream bass.
  8. I could really make good use of these. When you say free delivery "within reason" Is Bulgaria too far? 😂
  9. 1. It's not a Fender. 2. It's not ridiculously overpriced (like a Fender)
  10. Sounds kosher. I'm in!
  11. But is it any good for..........erm.........
  12. That'll be the pink hair.
  13. I'd take white over black if those were my only two options.
  14. That's definitely a one song bass. https://youtu.be/ZyhrYis509A
  15. Weirdly neither do I. They just happened to be that colour.
  16. Cool. Were you playing at the circus? 😁
  17. I like the last one. It's even got the correct number of strings which seems to be getting rarer these days. 😋
  18. Never heard of her. OK voice but musically not really my thing.
  19. Natural wood every time for me given the option. But it's kind of like cars, where unless it's something especially horrid, then colour is pretty low on the list of priorities. Price / quality / condition rate much higher than colour.
  20. Yeah if you had the sound off then you kind of missed the point. 😋
  21. Ha ha. Scary thing is, I actually quite like the body shape.
  22. You can get vinyl banners made up with your own designs / artwork at vista print. You just do it all online. It's dead easy. I always found them quite reasonable. https://www.vistaprint.com/signs-posters/vinyl-banners?xnid=TopNav_Vinyl+Banners_Banners_Signs+and+Posters&xnav=TopNav
  23. New bass and pedal flight case about 2 weeks ago. New strings and strap yesterday (neither of which I actually "needed")
  24. I can't really see how there's any way around sanding. Even if you miraculously and invisibly removed the ink, you would still have the scratches left by the biro. Any attempt at removing the ink with thinners etc would just risk a blotting effect and the ink soaking further into the wood.
  25. "I'm done!" Slam door, walk out. (Sneak back in 5 minutes later and quietly pack up your gear in what feels like the longest 20 minutes of your life.)
