  1. Yeah - under the truss Rod cover is a stamp finishing in 80, meaning it’s one of the later ones - no flaky finish, and a “long horn” - pretty cool. There were some of these bodies still knocking about until a few years ago apparently. The case is hilariously aged - covered in stickers from 1992/1991 gigs for “Konkrete Hamster”
  2. 92 years between them 🫣
  3. Sort of a P, but not - much like a BB300 which I’ve owned a few of.
  4. Very quickly thrown together before I paint a door I’ve just repaired (dog induced damage) https://on.soundcloud.com/mJjAhy574in8hmNk6
  5. I’ve got to build a go cart, then I’m going to record some stuff.
  6. Well…after a bit of a wait, and a bit of Wayne Carini style “it’s all about the chase” behaviour… A mate had bought a 70’s one on a whim and I was absolutely smitten with it…but he wouldn’t sell. Off I set on my little search…found via the Shergold owners group on Facebook. Original 1980 case too. its very clean overall with some edge marks. Not bad for 44 years old.
  7. Very cool basses these. Had one on loan for a bit. love the blue too
  8. Weight - my scales have spat a battery…🙄 Its lighter than the Orange BB which is 9.2lb so I’ll say 9lbs the nut is 40mm (just measured)
  9. Well…it’s a feeler. We’ll see x
  10. So, after chasing one of these for a good while - to replace one I stupidly sold… I found an immaculate blue one. it arrived and I was blown away. A minor issue was that the D tuning peg was slipping. Replaced with Hipshot Y tuners. Now smooth as owt. I swapped the knobs out for BB Black speed knobs. Looks loads better. Original Rosewoods can be put back on if you prefer. Wearing Flatwounds, silky low action. Original Knobs (Rosewood) and machine heads (even though one is goosed) will be included. Don’t really want it to go - but the house is too full currently 😂 Had to post a price, happy to listen to realistic offers via PM collection preferred - Manchester Can post at buyers risk. Slip cover gigbag only - so will buy shares in bubble wrap before posting… RELISTED - Since I withdrew the sale, I’ve had the opportunity to get involved with another bass more suited to what I’m doing; I have my main ABG and to be honest, the songs are getting heavier and less acousticy. So, while I’m loathe to do it - I am selling this bass. And I know I’ll regret it, and put a wanted ad up in 18 months…but. I’ve always said “if it’s not in use, set it loose…” (I haven’t always said that…but, whatever…) £20 to post in UK
  11. Honestly one of the best bass sounds I ever had. Watched a gig back from 2023 with an SR5, just a phenomenal sound.
  12. Came out when I worked in Topman for a Saturday job, every 2 hours that video was on. Horrific
  13. Sweet Caroline is killing me off too, not so much the song but the inane bullshite sports version - good times never felt so good “SOGOOD SOGOOD SOGOOD” - Why? I watch a lot of boxing. I mute it every time it’s on.
  14. I thought Mr Celinder was back making basses? I have played 3 and they were ALL superb
  15. I’m just shy on space now. Waiting for the extension to start so I can reclaim a room for basses
  16. My mate sent me the link - was sold by the time the link loaded 😂
  17. Buy it. Practice isn’t as impressive as looking balls cool with a blue thunderbird… plus, skill (or lack thereof) never stops me buying
  18. Zombie thread… A mate got a Marathon recently and I was instantly besotted. he wouldn’t sell it to me. So I went snooping and found a 1980 sunburst So that’s his one with my ripper - it’s a late 70’s one. this arrives next week
  19. Wish I had the money, that’s properly dream bass level
  20. Don’t you worry. I’m still the final boss of BB’s. 😉
  21. Yeah. I think just a clear pickguard would make it look 20 times better. Anyhow, will leave that to whomever buys it
