  1. Wouldn't generally be mine either but I've recently joined a Funk band and this screamed Larry Graham so figured it had to be done! Just need the sequin guitar strap and I think I'm there, got the bass face down.
  2. There were customs charges unfortunately yes, came to 20% so if you did order you essentially need consider that in as a part of the package price. Still came out to cheaper than an MIM Fender these days, so I wasn't too fussed and Danny gave me quality estimate charges and made me clear and aware of everything. He was a pleasure to deal with for sure.
  3. Purchased from Danny at Bass Japan Direct and waylaid in Germany due to labour strikes, this arrived safe and sound on my doorstep this morning. It's all original and the date is a close approximation, as with these sorts of instruments. It's somewhere between 83-85 based on the serial number. Small amount of setup required given it's week and change trotting the globe, and the low E intonation took some dialing in, but playing beautifully now at 1.75mm (as is my preference) and the pickups sound superb. It's perhaps a little difficult to spot in the photos, but there's a lovely sun tan effect that's happened on the headstock and neck, sending the white into a more cream colour. Definitely got the played-in feel that you'd expect something pushing 40 to have. I'm mostly just sad at how played-in I feel at only 30 😂
  4. Purchased a Darkglass Vintage Ultra pedal from Mick this weekend just gone. Concise and straightforward communication, product exactly as advertised and well-packaged for transit. Pleasure to deal with, would recommend! Cheers Paul
  5. Oh my god, if I hadn't just bought an MIJ Mustang bass I would have bitten your hand off for this! Alas, the coffers are empty... Beautiful bass, GLWTS.
  6. Purchased an MXR compressor pedal off Will. He was kind enough to meet me halfway at a particularly characterful location, had a pleasant chat and did the deal. Works like a charm and had it's first live run out that very same night. Deal with confidence.
  7. Purchased a Hipshot BT1 Bass Xtender Tuning Key from Fettsman today. Painless and friendly transaction, even had a nice chat and a quality cup of tea, no complaints here!
  8. Cheers pal, good to meet you too. I probably should have, the junction services weren't quite as appetising!
  9. PMed you mate!
