Do I need a 3rd, do I need a second red one…

bah. Bank says no anyhow - bargain that

Myself and @Dankology on this little beauty 

written by me - 

Yousef did basses and knob twiddling with the interface and mac

I did baritone, acoustic and used his wonderful Rickenbacker 12 string.

we had some mates in on horns and strings and a couple of other singers in.

enjoy.

Wanted one for ages, got a B-Stock deal via Reverb.

Phenomenal thing, on board pickup; volume/tone arrangement - a tuner and EQ wouldn’t go amiss.

sounds great - doubled up on the A and D (middle strings) - 27” scale.

When I’m not decorating, I’ll do a decent video.

My moonlight blue P34. Did have a 735a and was after a P35 but as is the way of things, I ended up with the 4 string. No complaints. Great bass!

I foresee one of these joining me in the future; stunning.

Ah man I love. LOVE these

Love the Ouija look! Ace

@AndyTravis we've been rumbled.

Let the boy watch…

So @Dankologyand I are in a band together.

this is our new single.

I wrote this after my old band exploded following a gig.

The Drummer and Singer decided they wanted to carry on with me and I asked if @Dankology would be interested in sharing guitar and bass duties.

The Video was done by us (it’s my Daughter in the video)

All recording done by us.

this is “Running Home”

Music is available to buy/stream on all platforms 

enjoy!

Wouldn’t let me type before - no idea why.

Good gig last night helping some mates out.

they’d agreed to the gig then their bass player moved to a different country so I stepped in.

Learned 10 songs, played 7.

wasn’t my best performance; first time going ampless and I was a bit thrown by that.

sold out Gorilla in Manchester, the main band were half our age - it was like looking at a sea of my daughters mates 😆

Felt very old.

But this one goes up to 11

My bank account is currently 6 feet under

Met him around the time of the stones reunion, he just mooched in to the shop, we spoke about neck dives on Jack Casady basses.

He was lovely.

great player and a big hero to many.

Done!

So if I found a cream or white telecaster body you could achieve a similar look?

oh god…eBay is winking at me.

Sign me up would love a baritone telecaster with that finish!

My exes, original '55 on the left, Fender Custom Shop (ex @AndyTravis) on the right

 

That custom shop was cool - one of a run done for Sting so he could retire his originals by all accounts…

Sold at the time because it didn’t suit my band or something mundane…

it’d really work now. Meh. Life…

Sounds great, but damn does that pickguard piss me off. 

Looks passable on the sliverburst…JUST

Yeah - a 4 string “wav” version (albeit maple rather the graphite) would be cool.

but then again, looking at my bank account, it’d need to be in 10 years time 😆

If this was an 8…

id still be skint 😣

You love me really.

@Sean I think you’ve done right by yourself; f*ck them.

Yeah. Want.

….and why is it always a trade for something you not only don’t want, but you would not look twice at 🤷‍♂️

Yeah. Done that a few times…

I think an Ibanez BTB676 was the most 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve become an artisan of selling sometimes at a profit, mostly at a loss (after modding for modding sake)…and on occasion selling at a break even.

I’ve seen stuff I’ve sold sell for more and less than I’ve let it go for.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything I’ve sold go for 2/3 times what I’ve sold it for - which would nark me.

At the moment, selling anything at any price seems a case of pot luck so fair play to anyone who’s managing it.

I have 3/4 things up for sale now and I’m just getting trade offers…
