    That’s probably wise, it might be fine now but might fail if it takes another bash. I’m sure it’s fixable but a risk at the price

    Looks like it might have been involved in a substantial shock to the neck that’s lead to cracks around the heel?

    Proper Basschat behaviour 👍

    Thanks and welcome @Spodokomodoh 🙏

    Were they short scale strings?

    More photos as promised (it stopped raining.....)

    Agreed, and I wouldn't buy that particular bass, because - and I know it's not hard evidence - the images feel wrong, I can't say what it is, but given that the serial number also doesn't check out plus the seller has already provided some misinformation, I would assume that while it's not a forgery as per Andy's previous comment (why bother when for the same costs you could forge Pre-CBS Fenders), I still suspect it may not be what it is presented as. Case candy etc? Not beyond the realms of possibility that someone could buy the real thing with case and case candy, and then slip a lookalike bitsa in the case and sell it on, I've heard less plausible theories turning out to be true Not saying it's not the real thing BTW, I am saying that I certainly wouldn't buy it given the photos and details provided.

    Yep probably just the slight distortion from a phone lens 👍

    End of headstock looks too big to me

    I need to pay for an incoming item so this is available at £600 for a few days after which I’ll keep it 👍

    Funnily enough a lot of creatives benefit far more from the formulaic CBT-type stuff than from some of the more esoteric forms, the contrast with what is often their habitual way of dealing with things - existential versus pragmatic - can be transformative

    Worth rewatching Some Kind of Monster to realise that band issues are often beyond even the best psychologists! All joking aside, don't ever become the band's therapist, you will end up hating them all

    Good for you mate, I read into that a need to hep other people, a great ambition and a great profession 👍

    Wasn’t replying to you Mike but to Daryl 👍

    I’d only ever leave a band because it wasn’t working, never for a better option. Loyalty is a big part of music 👍

    Must admit that was my main reason for putting it together! It's a stunner in the flesh, and I've got the ashtrays for it somewhere also, which really do add to the vibe. Once it stops raining I'll get some better photos (probably around March 2026)

    ...and funnily enough Drums and Wires has been mentioned as a future album for the us 👍
  18. Beedster
    I don't think it's just about formative years, it's more about emotional attachment in one way of another, even to songs that you first hear way past your formative years (although I think all years are formative, so let's say 'youth'). In June we gigged an album that I had listened to a few times and generally disliked, Beck's Odelay. It was a tricky one to play and we rehearsed it for around five months, about three months longer than it usually takes us to get an album down. I hadn't listened to it since, but I put in on yesterday and it felt like coming home in the same way as the music of my youth does, I heard all the magical nuances that I'd never noticed before we learned iit, and realised that the album had moved into 'that' space for me 👍

    I’ll take better pics this afternoon but FYI the colour in the second pic (back) is most representative, the first pic makes it look a darker and stronger colour 👍

    There's always time for other bands later on mate, you're going through some far more important stuff at the moment and you need to give yourself the space and capacity to deal with that stuff from a full hand so to speak. Playing bass should always reduce stress, not add to it. Band or no band, you will of course need to ensure there's a bass within your reach at all times however. Good luck mate 👍
  21. Beedster
    Really enjoyed that 👍

    A Precision with flats is always a good thing 👍

    A recent acquisition/bitsa that while I'd love to keep for those odd Jazz Bass moments and for a specific project that we're running mid-2026. I'm selling because both @silverfoxnik and @Hellzero have been very naughty and listed items of bass gear that I used to own that at this point in time I need back more than a Jazz Bass. Body/PUPs/circuit etc Fender MIJ, neck Allparts MIJ with Fender vintage 70's tuners. Have a rather rubbish hard case that won;t get the bass to gigs but will get it safely to you, so courier and option. These pics are poor quality is it's dark now, but I'll take some better more detailed pics in the morning. How does it sound? Like a Jazz with flats, nice (I've some rounds I can put on if flats ain't your thing). How much does it weight? I'll check scales in the morning but it's certainly not at the heavy end. Price includes UK delivery. If my Ashdown Drophead happens to sell first, I'll be keeping this beauty 👍

    I hope that my main technical challenge/goal as a bassist is to make the band sound better, which can mean playing less, playing quieter, and playing simpler, the reward is the way the band and audience respond. As a BL once said to me, we don’t really notice what you’re playing but we do notice when you stop.

    Doesn’t explain the fretwork though 🤔
