    [quote name='william64' timestamp='1377636786' post='2189828'] If I only had more space in my house Nevertheless, I can offer my 1986 fretless Ibanez Musician MC2940 for trade. Here are photos: [url="http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/vilem64/library/Ibanez%20Musician%20MC2940%20Fretless%201986"]http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/vilem64/library/Ibanez%20Musician%20MC2940%20Fretless%201986[/url] [/quote] Thanks for the offer but I'm not much of a fretless player... To put it mildly...

    For sale - my 1980 Aria SB700 in natural oak finish, with original Aria hardcase. The bass is all original and very clean - it currently has straplocks fitted but the original strap buttons will be supplied. The case is a bit worn but fully functional. This bass is in stunning condition for it's age - there is some very light buckle rash to the back of the body, some very minor wear to the lower edge of the body and a very minor mark to one of the headstock points. Playability is unaffected. I'm after a sale but open to trade offers. Collection from Dartford preferred, can meet or deliver within reason. Courier can be arranged at buyer's cost.

    Beautiful bass, but it's not a Legend - it's an NS2000/5. A far superior instrument!

    I remember seeing them at the Astoria when I was 17. Suddenly I feel very old.

    The sound of that front pickup...

    [quote name='ead' timestamp='1377189614' post='2184597'] Most definitely. I'm a serial attendee at Yes / JA solo & some of the Rick & Jon shows. I think he's not been well of late though hence the concern. [/quote] That's alright then. I thought you were havin' a pop at JA back there I think Jon's a lot better now, and plays live quite regularly. I think he had to give up heavy touring following a sever asthma attack but he can certainly still sing, and like Rick, wanted Yes to play bigger, one-off events rather than tours. Sadly this wasn't to be. I too think Jon was treaded shoddily by the others - particularly Squire of all people. It reminds me a bit of that scene in Spinal Tap where David matter-of-factly states he will no longer be working with Nigel, to the shock of the interviewer who is aware of their personal history. when it comes down to 'Yes is a business', that just makes me sad. I read an interview with Jon in Classic Rock a while ago, when asked if he still thought about rejoining Yes, he answered that it was the first thing he thought about when he woke up every day.

    Can this bass run in stereo, or mono only?

    Whereabouts in SE London are you mate? This is so bloody tempting... I used to frequent Chris' workshop back in the day and remember seeing this bass in it's damaged state... The quality of the repair job is incredibly good, I remember trying to buy it off him once he'd fixed it!

    Bump. Forgot to add, the bass comes with a new Ritter Thunderbird gig bag.

    [quote name='ead' timestamp='1372000008' post='2120467'] Tickets booked for Manchester (Anderson or not). Personally I'd rather listen to a sub who will hopefully be on form to JA croaking his was through some tough vocal numbers. Close to the Edge was the first LP I ever bought, so hopefully it will be a special evening, [/quote] FWIW, Jon is one of the few singers of that era whose voice hasn't deteriorated over the years. I've only seen Yes once but have seen Jon at his solo shows and his voice is still astounding.

    As soon as I saw the thread title, I thought of the Hofner. I love mine too - it's a strange, fragile little thing (and looks utterly ridiculous on me) but it's just a joy to play. I wish I could leave all my basses out on stands, but an excitable two year old means they must stay locked away.

    I was once recognised at the Download festival by someone who'd seen my band a few months previously. That was nice.

    Some close-ups of the wear to the body edges.

    After much soul-searching I've decided to put my old Greco Thunderbird up for sale. Not sure of the exact year but I believe it dates from the late 70s and is made in Japan. It's a very close replica of the classic, old-style Gibson Thunderbird and tonally is spot on - very big sounding bass but lots of clanky growl to go with it - very Wishbone Ash Differences - it has a slightly wider nut, so the neck feels more like a P bass than a real 'bird. It is a set neck rather than through neck. All hardware and electronics in full working order and it is structurally sound. It's been clearly been well loved and gigged well, the body edges show quite a lot of chips and dings - see pics. There's also the expected amount of general playing wear - the odd light knock here and there. Playability is not affected. The scratchplate is not the original. I'm looking for [s]£525[/s] [s]£500[/s] £470. Open to trade offers, particularly involving lightweight amps/cabs, and Yamaha BB basses, but hit me with what you've got! Collection preferred (I'm minutes away from J1 of M25), or can deliver/meet if not too far. Can also arrange courier at buyer's expense- a lovely brand-new Ritter gig bag is included.
