Below is a headless, fretless, bodyless and neckless bass I made, you're welcome to it.

Me 😆 I do love a big, full fat, monster of a valve rig... I'm down that way in Jan, have made a bit of low offer which they've accepted on the basis of no one else buying it in the meantime which suits me fine.

It is big, it is heavy, it is collection only. Out of date - I disagree. These genuinely are excellent amps. Having owned a Mesa Strategy Eight:88, an Ashdown CTM300, a Marshall VBA400, an Orange AD200B, a Trace Elliot V6 and a Laney Nexus Tube, I can confirm that the latter holds up to the best of these valve behemoths. It is an underrated amp. £500 for the full rig is (if you have the spine for it) excellent bang for buck.

Any message that is clearly generic ("please show me your product") is always a massive red flag.

This is a cheap CHEAP brute... essentially a UK made Mesa Boogie Strategy Eight:88 for pennies on the pound. https://ebay.us/m/ucAP4L

To my eyes its not the right bridge, headstock shape, logo positioning or logo style to be a 70's Ibanez. I'd guess its a Westfield or similar with a transfer put on the headstock and a MIJ back plate added. Either way, £60 ain't much dosh!

Here's a slightly prophetic one I found at my parents the other day... A 16yr old me wearing a T-Shirt that says 'Reuben' on it. 22 years later we now have a 2yr old son called Reuben!

I once found a few dozen very intimate personal photographs in the front pocket of a gig bag that came with a Stagg Strat I'd bought locally for £20... Definitely saw more than I'd bargained for! Promptly returned the photos to the person without thumbing through the entire stash!

Sellotape a piece of paper to the back of the chair with the word 'Soiled' written on it and at the end of the day move it to a corner, away from a desk. People wont risk using it.

Is that the new Fodera you've got slung over your shoulder?

Google it, I dare you..

Mine is relic'd after a hot curry.

If you remove one letter from each word you'd have 'Anus Asses'. There, it's been said.

Trolls be trolling... best response is no response (said the hypocrite...)

No social media at all here. Deleted my FB account over a decade ago. Never had an X/Twitter/Instagram account. Though I suppose BassChat is a form of social media... So I'm guilty of that.

@SteveXFR - I have a Marshall VBA400 full stack I'm debating moving on... That'd filth you right up! Just saying... 😉

Two 'Best Purchases' for me, nothing particularly bad this year... First is a Warwick Streamer LX that I got from eBay for an absolute steal. Needed new tuners (which I got from here!) and new strings, which I had, other than that its in exceptional condition and sounds brutal with that awesome Warwick growl. The second, was a Tamburo Opera Stave 7 piece kit with a full suite of Meinl Custom Classic Dark cymbals. This is an astonishing kit... FAR better than I deserve, but I love it.

I'm willing to bet he'll be let off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist... probably in the form of a warning and a £50 victims surcharge fee. This country is a joke for bringing anyone to any form of real justice.

Free delivery too if you order 198 of them! Genuinely slightly tempted to do that and spend the next 500 years shifting them at £5.99 a piece via eBay... A top bulk buy if someone wanted to take their full inventory.
