  1. He’s a great player.
  2. Yeah, it went back to Jaydee after I bought it. Wonder if I still have the emails Edit - no I haven’t, it was about 12 years ago hahah
  3. So happy the bass I loved but didn’t gel with has a new lease of life. Did you find the serial number - was it 1180880 or something like that?
  4. Oh my. I saw that on Instagram...how intriguing.
  5. Ah yeah totally forgot about him, which is odd because we sold him a TD kit once... Also John Thompson and Al Murray are drummers.
  6. I just really remember liking the bb604, a real “sleeper” bass as they don’t go for silly money. Edit - this chap is on a lot of Yamaha groups on Facebook and seems to utilise a 605WR to great effect https://www.facebook.com/100000516907786/posts/4391140704246450/?d=n
  7. Don’t think many made it over here. Looks like a beauty
  8. He never shuts up about you though, funny isn’t it...how two people can have such oppositional views on their friendship... 😉
  9. He’s a lovely bloke - had a few beers with him a good while ago now. I can’t remember what he calls that stuff he does, it’s got a name like “tappaclique” or something along those lineswhich could’ve been pulled out of thin air. Anyhow, he absolutely knows it can empty a room like a post egg cress butty fart. He’s is a very decent player otherwise, but sharing a trade stand next to it for a full day Is exhausting 😂 Edit - he calls it “Rhythmsync” - so catchy a name I had to go looking to remember it. Still, lovely fella.
  10. It’s no odds to me as I think Farida have now been sold as an entire organisation last I’d heard. Squier Classic Vibe - the mega ones Fender Modern Player - them ones 😂 Some of the later peavey grind basses Warwick rockbass for a while They we’re meeting Michael Tobias at Musikmesse 2012 - about an acoustic bass. Don’t think this happened in any production. they made the Parker acoustics- which were short lived. The bass was a beauty. Recording King acoustics, some Ibanez acoustics (we actually ended up with 20 Farida classicals with Ibanez branded pre amps) Tanglewood. There were loads. will add as I remember
  11. He really bothered me. Also communicated as one name, got paid to another name and signed off with another. really odd experience, never again.
  12. Always intrigued by the Dean Berlin basses since I saw him live - he made it sound lovely.
  13. Yeah. And the SG2000’s for £5k. he’s not a good bloke, just saying.
  14. @molan you’re obviously in the know from being in the trade when Metroline Japan was a thing. happy to take as a PM, but does Yoshi’s facility produce basses under. Their own brand? I know I was shocked when I heard who Farida made for when I worked as part of their distributor.
  15. Yeah - I think this has been sprayed over...no matter what colour it was. Chrome Red is an ace colour, I loved mystic red too. All variations on a theme
  16. Oh that guy. Wow. yeah, even if he had a Wal for £1200... Maybe I had a rum do with him.
  17. It’s business time...
  18. I’m alright you know, I doubt one will come up at a price I can afford so it’ll just stay in the pipe dream section.
  19. I play guitar to a decent standard, and I can construct stuff using keyboards, but I’d never say I can play piano. If it’s got frets and strings; I’ll give it a go. I own a piano accordian which has been passed through the family. But I haven’t a clue what to do with it.
  20. Feel like a 7. What do I win...
  21. Also, this was cool - my neighbour (across the road) runs a music school and has an array of guitars. This is a Yamaha Pacifica 303-12 from the late 90’s. Really added to the sound - even with a tired set of strings.
  22. Did this with the beautiful @leemarseillebass Really getting to grips with the soft synths on GarageBand now, the iPad seems to give you a lot more control than the phone. So it’s more fun and you can change sounds on the fly rather than going into menus and hoping it works. Lee was ace for this - I just knocked some little bits together and he sent them back with his charming wiganese lilt. Bass was Jack Casady, middle impedance, tone at 50% wearing some older Sadowsky steel rounds which are aging beautifully.
  23. Having looked again, the neckplate might be ok - the gasket threw me. The corona California typeface is actually ok. id just say it’s a refin, but like you say - it’s what you’d have to do to get it right... would look nice with tort, and if the finish is thin, it would wear quickly and you’d have a legit relic jazz 😄
  24. I’m letting these grow on me. Want the green or gold with a white pickguard. Absolutely no need at the moment.
