  1. Nice looking thinline Washburn bass - I’ve never seen one. Id like to get it but it’s way too far for me. Would be cool if a basschatter got it. £40 or near offer? Gotta be worth a shot? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/313811653523668/
  2. Spotted that. £850 start...
  3. I keep taking this (we’ve had about 4 rehearsals now)
  4. I’m stuck between green and the purple
  5. More sanding today... nearly all trace of red gone.
  6. It has the sweepable mid? Ive always known it to be referred to as the ne-1 preamp. They sound great for the money they go for, even if if they were 3 times the price they’re good.
  7. Bah - no dice today. Up until the left hand side of the body, the grain was nearly uniform enough for a natural finish
  8. Boo. was hoping for a wonderfully uniform piece of nato/mahogany so I could change my mind... another colour keeps on creeping into my conscience...
  9. Pending
  10. If you’ve got a multimeter and 10 minutes spare, for sure
  11. Bought this on a whim. I’m going to clean it all up and tweak it - also will be wearing some better strings. the good... It’s a decent looking bass, Korean made - early 2000’s. It’s got a 35” scale - decent B. Emg HZ pickups. Nice Neck Profile. Great colour. East Preamp (U-Retro 2006) - read on... Passive tone is pleasant. The bad... Full disclosure. Preamp does not work. Worst case - the east knobs look fab. John East thinks it could be down to battery leads - I would look into it but...read on. Lots of little bumps and nicks - nothing catastrophic. Has an “odd” tuner on treble side - I might have a matching one in a draw - I will update. Bridge has a little “lift” at the string anchor points...but I’ve seen this on plenty of basses. Maybe 0.5mm at worst. I spoke to Kiogon who can make a passive loom for £60 based upon Les Paul VVTT with a series/parallel and pickup selector to fill the switch holes - just an idea if the Pre is totally dead. Anyhow - it’s here if anyone fancies a project. If you can resolve the preamp issue - it’s a £200+ pre. If you’re looking for a workhorse 5, here it is. Postage possible...would prefer collection. I will do all the muck removal tonight or tomorrow. I wanted to have this for e-c tuning, but I have an ongoing BB project and no spare time. 😉😘
  12. I didn’t in the end - I’ve a 350f I’m modifying. The 450 is basically a passive 1100s - which is no bad thing. If you fall out with it - I’ll make room. 😉
  13. Love that - wish he’d have posted when I asked. what a beauty
  14. I still find it weird that I’ve had one for 12 years and use it so little
  15. It’s a trb5 I don't think the ii had the “slap cut”
  16. Well. Wouldn’t you know it. My little mouse sander has met a grisly end due to being squished by something (heavy) in the move. Have no fear, on offer in B&M - £20
  17. A life with no knobs - wouldn’t that be nice.
  18. Urgh 😂
  19. What a beauty, I did a Marcus Miller based upon this colour way. Ace.
  20. Is that not a Modulus VJ? Noice.
  21. Yeah possibly. Think the bb5000a I keep sharing a picture of is early 90’s
  22. Haha, just all purple sparkle...
