    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1330959981' post='1565357'] Cheers Karl, I do like it, though it was done on a budget, just to try the concept out - £130 for the Epi Thunderbird (less what I got for the neck when I sold it), a MM neck I had sort of lying around, plus a bit of machining for the pocket. Result. I liked it so much, however, I've spent a bit more on it: Hipshot Supertone bridge, Hipshot superlites (inc.Xtender), rewire (inc.pull-serial pot) and SD pickups. It'll be finished by the end of the week - I'll post more pics then. I've also got a really nice Lakland birdseye maple neck awaiting another Thunderbird body, so I can start all over again... [/quote] Soooooo, you'll need to find funding for the LakBird, so bagsy first dibs on the one in your photo. Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1330953223' post='1565191'] Hmmm, not sold on that one, to be honest, but on the Fenderbird front, I'm a fan - if he can make a good one like this, I'd be in.... [/quote] Hmmm, Oldham you say, now, where's that electoral roll . Seriously though Muzz, that one you've got . Karl.

    Also available in white. Most decent amps can make most basses sound good. I have e mailed the chap in question to see if he can make his next project a FenderBird with the same neck, or even better, a tribute to the Ox, with the same neck (photo nicked from FlatEric's website, sorry, forgot to ask permission) [attachment=101717:ExplorerBird.jpg] Have a look at this little beauty [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280837090639&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...E:X:AAQ:GB:1123[/url]

    So Mr Eric, did you ever list the Ibby Destroyer!!!! ? Missed out on the wondrous Aria faker as in between funds at the time. Keeping an eye out for one, but would hang on to my loot if that Ibby may yet be coming up . I hate your website because of that STUNNING natural Fender/Explorer/Ox/Cook thing!!!!!! (hope you won't mind too much, I've nicked a photo of the Ox and THAT bass for a FEEBay link?) Cheers Karl

    [quote name='daz' timestamp='1330779206' post='1562847'] As anyone here can tekll you, finding a good set of bass strings can well be an expensive buisiness. Status strings are not expensive though, so you m,ight as well start there. try the link here: [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html"]Status strings[/url] Follow the links on the left to Online shop/Bass Strings/ Maybe £18 for the average set of [i]flats[/i] or [i]round wounds [/i]for a four string bass. Make sure you order the correct length though. [/quote] Absolutely, great strings, great prices, fantastic service.

    Once upon a time, a few years back, a bloke had a good job. sh*t (agressive takeover happens) and the good job went. I had the pleasure of owning and playing all of these. Now, sober, mature, gigging as much as ever with 4 basses and thinking of going to 3. I only use my Yam live. Scary nostalgia moment. [attachment=101565:img090.jpg] [attachment=101566:img091.jpg]

    [quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1330703655' post='1561940'] What kind of idiot buys a bass that looks as sh*t as these? I like the Roadworn relics but there is a limit ya know. Words from his advert: [size=4][font=Calibri][b]So if you want a cool vintage bass that looks and sounds fantastic but have not got thousands to spare this could be for you.[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=Calibri][b]It should read:[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=Calibri][b]If you are a muppet with no taste, who doesn`t realise that I am rippin you off if you buy this piece of crap then this could be for you! Look at my feeback![/b][/font][/size] [size=3][font=Calibri][b]Jez[/b][/font][/size] [/quote] Perhaps he was an estate agent before he became a luthier

    [quote name='petercomfort' timestamp='1330609224' post='1560281'] I would call and get this tonight... only prob is I live in freaking belfast! :/ [/quote] Google Paisley freight, they will have it to you in a couple of days for about £25 insured. It will be worth it! Good luck, Karl.

    Congratulations, well done that man. If you ain't in you don't win! Enjoy, always good to hear of somebody's good fortune. Karl.

    A local music shop was always a way for me. Perhaps that doesn't work nowadays, I'm a coffin dodger after all. If you are in the North West, go to Northwest bands website, there's often a couple of gigging bands looking for bassists. Last time I looked there was a very well known, very busy Metallica tribute band looking for a permanent bassist. Eeeee, if a wer 20 yers younger lad, r'd uv ad a shot mesen. Back to Bush and Gabriel!!!!!

    Top bloke, top bit of kit. Wish I had a rack . Fnarr, fnarr.

    Back up for sale, although I will still happily trade for a quality 600watt, 4 ohm 2x12 or 4 x 10. Anybody interested, PLEASE, read the dimensions in the first post. It will fit fine on most "traditional" size cabs. Free delivery within 50 miles of Wigan
  18. karlfer
    Absolutely cracking basses these, just a really nice feel to them. Think tortie plate may be an upgrade? Good luck, somebody will be very happy. Karl.

Ashdown ABM 1 x 15, first series, made in UK, rectangular handles, excellent condition, a little paint of a couple of the corners. Please read my feedback near the bottom. I bought this being lead to believe it was an ABM mini, but the dimensions don't tally with the Ashdown site, so it may actually be an ABM Compact or the very first series of mini 115. It is 300 watts, 8 ohms and weighs 20 kg. For reference the dimensions are, Width 610, height 490, depth 350, so it is a relatively small but powerful cab. It has factory fitted rubber feet on the base and one side. If it is used on it's side, it is exactly the same width as the mini 4x8, stacking perfectly. It will fit easily into the boot of a Vauxhall Tigra leaving enough room for an Orange Bass Terror, sports bag with leads, GAMMA pad and two bass stands. So, a 300 watt, UK made compact 1x15 bass cab in good condition for £120. I think that's STUPIDLY good really. FREE delivery within 50 miles of Wigan. ABM 115, £120 + £20 courier fee. You read it right. Last few days before FEEBay at (£160). Many thanks for looking, Karl.

    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1330499924' post='1558301'] Karl, I really fancied this until I realised that I didn't have a P bass any more Nurse, can I have my medication now?! [/quote] 1. Tom, get a P. 2. Tom, your medication needs re-assessing (Glenmorangie is good) . Oh, by the way, back up for sale bump.

    Just sold Marc my Ashdown 4x8. Decisive, great bloke, absolutely recommend, many thanks Marc. By the way, don't you just love it when the bloke you just been banging on about ohms to, gently lips it slip he's a master Sparky . Thanks for everything Marc, enjoy.

    [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1330505109' post='1558347'] Where are you? Pm. [/quote] His sig says Kent, so you are 100 miles closer than me . Nearly all of Britain's good stuff is in London and Kent at the moment Karl.
