Searched high and low for one of these that wasnt a train wreck. Top of the range late 1990’s/early 2000’s Yamaha. DiMarzio pickups. Colour is Shelby Blue. 2 chips (photographed) Otherwise in decent nick. It is 30 ish years old so there are some marks but very good for age. These had a push pot for coil tapping - which failed; I nearly bought one new but the associated pot was knackered in the shop… When I got this, it had already been replaced with a standard pot. Sounds ace - but I need to clear the decks. And I’m not playing much bass, let alone guitar. My other guitar is a battered Pacifica worth about £90 so it makes sense to move on the more valuable one. no case - but I have packing materials. £15 to ship in UK (at buyers risk) -
Another one - Please Read. I bought this with a view to sorting an issue with the electronics (99.9% sure the switch is bollocksed) It arrived the Same Day as 2 Soloking Basses and the same week as the 51 build…so it’s sort of sat unused. When I got 10 minutes I Desoldered the switch and redid it. It went from only doing Neck Pickup and a weird out of phase sound…to neck pickup, weird phasey both and normal both…but I think it just needs a new switch (my orange one has a switchcraft replacement). Its got a few marks on it but plays well and sounds good. The Pickguard is lovely - but has the odd gap on it, looks the part from a foot away. Postage will be £20 in the UK at buyers risk Or it’s in Manchester (m27)-

It has a charm. It’s not a patch on the original…but I watch it about once a year

Mrs T said “it’s draining you” and I completely agree. I’ve somehow become the bands guidance counsellor and I haven’t got it in me anymore. a real shame, some good music has happened but the inch pinching rows have done me in. I really don’t care enough.

Yeah, I’m in my 3rd or 4th mode of this. I haven’t got the time for the shite I used to tolerate just to be “in a band” anymore. It’s a choice to be in a band, to wade through weeks of nonsense just to make hours of music makes no sense to me. I don’t really need a band as such. Wish I’d learned how to sing 😆

Howdy. Not quitting bass, but have just announced to the band that the next gig in September will be my last with them. There’s a lot more behind me knocking it on the head than just being fed up… I just don’t think, after 2 years that I want to be in a band with them anymore. We’ve been recording an album and It’s taken an age and the bickering and differences of opinion are taking their toll. I choose to do this, I’m not earning from it and it’s starting to feel like I should choose to not do it anymore…anyhow. The gear I own is solely down to “need” for the band. So I’m not overly attached to much of it. I’m going to set up sales threads for each part, probably 20 pedals and about 10 basses. I’m starting a project with a fellow basschatter and will just share music online - no plans to gig after September. Doing that “falling out of love with music” thing I seem to do every 4/5 years. Keep your eyes peeled x

Reviving a battered 1960s laminate double bass
