Yet another trade complete with Tony! I have literally lost count as to how many trades we've done! 6 or 7 at least. I now have his W&T Zoid 5 and a big bag of other little bass related items and he has my Warrior 7. I've no doubt we'll trade again in the near future, it's almost like borrowing basses from each other now! Always fun to try new basses, real solution for GAS!

It's the riveting description that adds the extra £3000 in value

Must be blind but I can't see another thread with this in it... if it was repairable it'd be worth a punt at £300, which is an offer I made that got swiftly rejected.

Could be worth a shout for someone? Though there appears to be a chunk of wood missing so will need definite skilled work! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312036160719

Rotosound custom made the strings, a full set of 13 was somewhere around £120, but had to be ordered way in advance as it meant shutting down some of their production line to make them! The thickest string was a G#00 resonating at 17hz and was .257 gauge over a 40" scale. Thinnest string was .007 over a 26" scale.

Or just for the sheer hell of it! The much controversial Jon Letts built me a 13 string bass a few years ago because we wanted to see if it was possible and if it was useful... yes to the first, no to the latter! Sometimes things just gotta be built! I have to add that Jon worked damn hard on the below... the neck was a fantastic piece of work, many a hideous problem was overcome before the whole concept became a playable instrument.

Not to engage in some form of hideous 'who had more necks' oneupmaship but... I did own this ridiculous 6 necked beast for a year or so a decade ago! At one point (after many beers) 6 of us did attempt to play Hotel California on it. Ahh those where the days!

You're certainly not conveying hatred at all, but there has been a good few topics on this site where selling anything for one penny more than you bought it for is considered worse than murder!

Prospecting at its finest! But hey, why not? Why not buy something cheap with a view to sell it on for a profit? Literally EVERYTHING you buy from ANY shop is subject to multiple companies profiteering so why shoot the little man when he does it? Never understood the general hatred for those who buy cheap to sell high, it's just business!

What's up with the truss rod access? Looks like someone tried doing while attempting to out drink Lemmy, realised they failed, then burnt it... fingers crossed they burned themselves to death after...
