That’s such a great groove, two true masters at work. RIP Sly, an absolute legend in music. I bet the pair of them are blazing one up right now.

That's a crazy percentage, just 1.6%!!! It’s always been a fairly male heavy genre but I’m shocked at how low that number is. I can think of loads of tracks that would beat half the dross on that list.

So basically then @Phil Starr, it doesn’t matter half as much as people think it does as it’s a bit of a lottery, and as long as it looks fairly well made with no obvious voids and the veneers aren’t paper thin, than you should be ok?

There were three guitarists AND they were on coke... I just shuddered thinking of the sheer amount of egocentric fretboard w**kery going on in that room 😁

They look brilliant, what a great find!

Wow that looks incredible!

Interesting reading the provenance stating the bass was given as a gift to the present owner after he put up the band for a night and bought bus tickets for them to get home after JB abandoned them during the tour. Sounds like standard JB behaviour

It’s not really created by a luthier when almost everything is CNC/machine made and assembled though is it? I get what you’re saying though, the quality of lower end instruments is ridiculously good and seems to be getting better all the time. Not sure what it’s down to, competition or new manufacturing methods maybe but the cheaper end of the market has never been better.

The only cable I use is ultra low capacitance, oxygen free, double wrapped with Kevlar, a gluten free hemp covering and the copper was mined on a Tuesday. It’s the only stuff I use.

Sold Paddy my Squier CV Mustang bass. A pleasure to deal with, great communication along the way. We met in a McDonald's car park to make the exchange and it was rude not to grab a bite to eat after 😁 Wishing you all the best with getting back on the horse @paddy109

I'd like one please Rob, looks great and more than happy to make a donation for it ☺️

They do look rather nice in that video 😍

Mike Mills is a bit of a hero of mine and IMHO a hugely underrated musician. So many of REM's basslines/piano parts are super catchy but fit the song perfectly.

Looks great and sounds fabulous 👌🏻 £1200 though😮

We all get it, you’re not a fan of Peter Hook. Loads of people are, myself included. The thing with all this comparison stuff is that no one’s right and no one’s wrong, you simply can’t add a measurable quantity to what’s essentially an emotional response, it’s different for everyone and that’s what makes the world go round. This whole debate is like comparing dick size, a pointless exercise that leaves everyone feeling a bit inadequate.

Completely agree on the whole muso nonsense. But it’s got to be Waiting Room over Turnover surely!

Hi Rob I’d like to add the cutting list to the main pdf if possible?

You haven’t got it wrong Rob it’s something @stevie picked up on back when I put the pdf together from Phil’s design. @Phil Starr It’s not a problem for me to update the designs to make all cutting widths the same if you’re ok with that?

Bought a Fane 8" speaker from Ash, a totally hassle free transaction it arrived very quickly and was exactly as described. Thanks Ash 😁

Bought a bass theory book from Nick, a totally hassle free transaction it arrived very quickly and was exactly as described. Thanks Nick 😁

Brian bought a preamp valve off me - A great guy to deal with, highly recommended ☺️

I can still recollect that lovely Trace smell thinking about the 3 amps I've had over the years. Top quality gear indeed.

It’s definitely something that’s left a sour taste in my mouth personally. There was a bass on here a while back that was literally my teenage daughter’s dream bass. She’s into classic 80s rock and metal played with black pointy gear and started playing a while back now (With no input from me I should add as that’s super uncool. I’m super proud but trying to remain nonchalant about it as is the teenage way😂). It popped up at a really good price, needing a couple of fairly easy and inexpensive repairs but unfortunately sold pretty much straight away and turned round very quickly for a huge increase. I’m not naive enough to think everything in this world is a bed of roses, and from my limited experience of dealing with buying/selling on Basschat, people have been very nice, with great prices that are almost a ‘mates rates’ kind of deal. Just wish I’d spotted it a bit earlier and got in first. I’m sure some people are pressing refresh on the classifieds pages on a minute by minute basis the way some things get snapped up round here 😂
