Something about these beauties that gets me every time I see one ππΌ Takes me back to the 70's when every weekend me and my mates would visit our local music store Whites. I recall one of these was the most exotic - and most expensive - basses I'd ever seen hanging on the wall in there. And I was always met with a blunt 'no' when asked if I could play one... π Obviously they knew I neither had the skill, nor the funds to be worthy πππ GLWTS ππΌ

Hers yes, deffo not mine π By the time she bought that she'd got to know John the manager as I was always dragging her in there most weekends. He actually got three in and picked the best figured wood one for me ππΌ Yup, that was a healthy discount, and he went onwards and upwards creating a huge musical business up here ππΌ He supplied us with a (then) state of the art PA, came out for several weekends to sort it, and announced he'd set up a 'website'.. None of us knew what he was on about π The rest, as they say.. π

Here's my Westone Superheadless, bought by my wife as a surprise Christmas present back in 1985. It was very well used three and sometimes four nights a week around the social club circuit both here in the Northeast and well beyond, and although the original hard case is testament to those gigs, the bass has held up well. Like putting on an old pair of trainers, as someone once said π

NOW SOLD Unused by me, as I bagged a brand new Tech 21 Bass flyrig at the same time and put this behind the settee along with a chorus pedal I'm putting up on here. Bought from @Skinner on here, its in good condition and I need to move it on as its never been/going to get used by me as I use the comp on the Flyrig. Comes in original box with paperwork, uses an 18v power supply which is included, DI out, boost pedal, pics are self explanatory. Price includes UK post and packaging. Demo here.. https://youtu.be/szO6LOPLOBM

Actually π I can't imagine how it must feel - when it's all done, and looks so amazing - to come into a room the very next day, with that bass (or any of the other builds Andy has done in fact) in the corner of the room glinting at you, and knowing... ...I did that π€© Awesome ππΌ -
