    I believe the correct term for two thunderbirds is a 'storm' of Thunderbirds. Do you not want to create a storm...?

    Hi, Selling a few bits, just for the chop is this rather stunning Crafter BA600EQ electro-acoustic bass. It's in excellent condition, very few marks anywhere. Sounds spot on with a nice low action with all electronics working as they should. The birdseye maple top is rather striking, as is the back! I don't have anything sensible to post this in so it's collection only from Essex unless you want to take all the risk in posting! Any questions, please ask. Russ.

    Hi all, Got a few bits to shift that are surplus to requirements! Up on the chopping block is this lovely Epiphone Thunderbird. It's the bolt on version, it sounds as a Thunderbird should, great condition, very low action currently, bridge and truss are adjustable to your own preference. If you have extremely sharp eyes, you'll note that the jack input is missing the nut, I've already bought a replacement so it will come complete with nut! Everything works as it should, hardly a mark on it. £200 collected from Essex. I don't have anything sensible to post it in, so unless you want to take a risk on postage, it's currently collection only! Any questions, please ask. Russ.

    I'd wager that a HUGE percentage of these are him leaving himself feedback through a second account. He does the same with his 'books' on Amazon. The only positive reviews are by him on a second account.

    Ramp jumping sounds infinitely more exciting than twanging away on a glorified stick with strings! She made the right choice... 👍

    @AndyTravis Does Iris play bass/guitar? I have a bright pink dickies strap that'd match her chair perfectly! It's just sitting in a drawer unused, happy to send it on if it's of any use?

    I wish I lived in his fantasy world... Must be an interesting place to reside free from the bleak reality we all exist in. Some of his YouTube clips are utter lunacy, I suspect too much acid in the 70's resulted in a trip he never quite came back from. Almost tempted to read one of his books just to experience a window into his mind.

    Is that some kind of wicker vacuum cleaner behind the bass?

    @neepheid - where did that image come from? Any further clues to be gained from revealing the source of the photo?

    I'm travelling from Essex to Glasgow on Monday if that helps.

    I'm travelling from Essex to Motherwell on Monday, back again Wednesday... tempting as I might just be known to enjoy a 6 string bass or two! Don't really have the dosh for it though... if anyone in Essex (or thereabouts) is interested, I don't mind acting as a courier! Very much liking the 8 string Strandberg too...

    I believe you'd need some of these:

    The seller has been about as upfront as you can be, though the big red flag for me is that he says the clipping is probably due to them needing a new 12ax7 valve... in a separate listing he's selling 9 of these valves, surely if you genuinely thought that valve was the issue, and you have spares of those valves, you'd just replace them? Equally, he might not know how to do that! Semi-tempting, but a definite minefield of potential problems!

    £1270 despite the description... Definitely a good price but not disgustingly cheap.
  16. binky_bass
    Shocking description though...
  17. binky_bass
    That's ridiculous. Give it to me!!

    Morning sir. Sent you a PM. 👍
  19. binky_bass
    I have to ask... why do you have e 3 of these! Great price though for a decent little bass amp. 👍

    Hi all, Selling my Eden Time Traveller combo specifically to fund the purchase of a very particular item that's currently available. These are essential an Eden World Tour 330 head in a ported enclosure with a 12" speaker. A tricky one to price for numerous reasons, but I'm going with £195 collected/tested from Wickford Essex as the WT330 heads go for more than that and this comes with a speaker! This isn't the cheaper Eden gear that's about today, this is the early 2000s proper USA made stuff. Its a cracking combo, not crazy heavy but not a feather either! Plenty loud, sounds crisp and articulate. Collection from Wickford, Essex. I do sometimes travel around the UK so if you're miles away, let me know and I'll see if I'm coming to a town near you any time soon! Any question, please ask! Will add better photos later.

    It's spans both time and space... it has no beginning, it has no end. Just middle. Ceaseless middle.

    The only good Oasis is the summer fruits one that comes chilled in a 500ml bottle. Right nice that.

    The Happiest of Jack's kindly sent me a 26" TV for cost of postage - just the size I was looking for to shoe-horn into a tight gap! It was delivered within 48hrs and was very well packaged, even with it essentially being a freebie! Top marks all round sir. Another credit to Basschat. 👍

    Absolute steal this...

    Two major milestone basses for me... My 2nd bass was a 1979 Black/Maple Ibanez Roadster. Definitely my 1st 'proper' bass, one I sold 4 times but always bought back. The last time I bought it back I vowed to keep it, and have managed to keep the promise to myself so far! That's milestone bass #1. Milestone bass #2 (and its a big one both literally and figuratively) is Binky my beautiful 10 string beast. I had him made during my Uni days, I'd never even owned a 5 string, I went straight from a 4 string to a 10 string bass! I ridiculous step-up, but one I do not regret. I will be buried with Binky. If I had to put a number on it, I'd say I've owned north of 2000 basses/guitars over the years (currently there's 40 odd around the house/studio!) and those two, for different reasons are my main 'milestone' basses I think.
