    https://www.cashconverters.co.uk/shop/music-tv--video/musical-instruments/guitars--string-instruments/bass-guitar/054400226091? they won’t ship… Colchester £270 seems very fair if they’d ship - Id buy it

    I just think they need a bit of a think…backwards as it sounds Imagine a Gibson Les Paul Signature bass reissue (basically a posh Jack Casady) - they’d sell a good few of those, even if they were touching £2000 (they’d probably end up £4000 🙄) A Gibson version of the reissued “reverse” Thunderbird - like the Epiphone Grabber/Ripper/G3 1 but actually like the old ones; not the feeble “nearly” versions of 2009/10. The EB4 mosrite looking thing was a lovely bass, but they changed after a year, then turned into a pseudo Tobias looking thing and then gone… just a mad company.

    It is mad though, the call for a “reissue” Thunderbird was rife on the forums a few years ago… They listen… Poor sales/discontinued quickly both fender and Gibson are drowning in debt with shareholders to keep happy. ”we’re not richer yet, what are you doing to fix it?” ”well, here’s the all new heritage pure retro range - even more accurate to the inconsistent ones we made in the golden era of 1950-1965!” ”good, you can keep your jobs for now…”

    Saw the Tele Basses today. Hot Dawg!!! couldn’t have a muck around as I was in getting some guitar strings for a recording thing. Properly lovely things though.
  5. AndyTravis
    Yes?
  6. AndyTravis
    Nah, got a couple of jazz basses. No way it’s better than those

    Listen to the sleeper version from the trainspotting soundtrack, it’s a little clearer and easier to listen to

    All in good time. defret/refurb/refin thread for January 2024

    My worst has literally happened in the last 15 hours. how did I discover this purchase? when eBay sent a payment reminder. god love p*ssed me…
  21. AndyTravis
    Sold locally. Magic

    Literally bought a few days ago. Had some sort of wine related eBay embolism last night and bought a 70’s Encore/Eko bass…🙄 Captain Vino decided one acoustic bass wasn’t enough 🙄 (thought I’d grown up…WRONG!) I had plans to defret this. But it’s bloody lovely - and think it needs to be left as is. The one I’ve bought, is best described as…a pig. So I’ll be working on that, ripping the frets out etc. This is 34” and dreadnought shaped. Pickup, onboard tuner etc. In very good nick, a few tiny marks (satin finish) but the guy who had it before me was a guitarist who didn’t use it. Ive shoved roto flats on it - but I probably have some rounds if you’d prefer. no case. So collection is advisable.
  23. AndyTravis
    Well. After an epic eBay balls up following some vino plonko…probably soon
  24. AndyTravis
    I prefer that.
  25. AndyTravis
    reckon if this isn’t sold by Jan 1st, I’ll just keep it.
