    Well I had a bank card posted by next day registered about 10 days ago and it hasn't even showed up on the tracking yet. So it looks like things are going swimmingly. 🙄
  2. Newfoundfreedom
    I'm exactly the same. I often see basses around the £300 mark that I would really like to buy, but simply can't justify the outlay.
  3. Newfoundfreedom
    Interesting looking bass this. I haven't seen one of these before.
  4. Newfoundfreedom
    I personally wouldn't spend more than about £350 on a bass. Neither my level of playing nor frequency of gigging would warrant it. There are some perfectly good bases around for that money, and anything over that is just a cascade of diminishing returns (i.e ten times the price wouldn't get you ten times the bass) I also just wouldn't feel comfortable taking a really expensive instrument to gigs. I've never understood the logic of people who have a 3 grand bass in the house and a £150 Harley Benton for gigs. Just give me the Harley Benton in the first place and I'm happy. Now amps / cabs on the other hand I'd be willing to put a little more into. But that's only because a good power to weight ratio doesn't come cheap. If my back wasn't so knackered I'd happily pick up and gig one of the cheap Trace rigs that come up fairly often and go for peanuts.

    I'll see your geographical distance and raise you 2000 miles plus Brexit tax. 😆 Lovely looking bass this.

    If you're looking for light then Harley Benton probably isn't the way to go. They're superb. But they're almost always on the heavier side.

    I have a 4 string Traben (Neo Ltd) and it's an absolutely stonking bass. Someone will be very happy with this.
  9. Newfoundfreedom
    I can honestly say, that's the first Thunderbird style bass I've ever seen that I like the look of. Very nice!
  10. Newfoundfreedom
    Yeah that would be a killer rig for next to nothing. I could only dream of something like that when I was starting out.
  11. Newfoundfreedom
    Agreed. Much nicer looking too. I'm mortified when bargains like this come up in the UK and I have no (practical) access to buying them. Then again, it's probably a good thing. Otherwise I'd have a garage full of 40kg Trace Elliott cabs by now. 😆

    Just bought a Rockboard off Paul @Shepster8316. Fast response. Posted immediately. Delivered next day. Highly recommended.
  13. Newfoundfreedom
    I have the HH double humbucker version and it's ridiculously good.
  14. Newfoundfreedom
    Yup. That's the tube version which seem to be going for silly money now. Maybe that's just a reflection of how good they are.
  15. Newfoundfreedom
    Yup. An absolute steal at this price. I'd already have bought it if I was in the UK and didn't have to pay international shipping and Brexit tax.
  16. Newfoundfreedom
    PM incoming.
  17. Newfoundfreedom
    Just gorgeous! Unfortunately well our of my price range. If only!
  18. Newfoundfreedom
    Yes indeed. Tonica bass made in Russia. Someone on here bought one a while ago for a deco piece. I can't remember who it was now.
  19. Newfoundfreedom
    I use mine with the low and high button permanently on and it sounds amazing. It's punchy as hell.
  20. Newfoundfreedom
    There's currently a second hand tube version on eBay for £300 plus postage. 😲
  21. Newfoundfreedom
    I'm very surprised this is still here. One of the very few Fender basses I've ever lined the look of.
  22. Newfoundfreedom
    Good mics these and that's a great price. I use one for studio recording vocals and it's superb.

    Much less butchery than Mr P. At least that one could be returned to it's former state with minimal effort or signs of interference.
  25. Newfoundfreedom
    You won't regret it. They're superb amps. 😉
