Shame. A pot, set up & new strings would make it very good VFM.

Not seen one in white before. GVFM.

I'm often referred to as "that anchor", so might suit. Pardon?

Yes, but that would mean becoming a keyboard player. .... ...No, can't think of a witty insult ref keyboardists..darn

I read the OP as a humerous comment on the width of the instruments neck, not as a personal attack on the person playing it. The gentleman himself wasn't mentioned. But I guess we can see what we want in any given situation. Personally I'd prefer a Chapman Stick for ERB but each to his own.

"Yes, we have found The West's weapon of torture"

Nice. No gimics, no ego on show. Well played, explained, notation & tab nice & clear. Thanks.

That's no money. Could almost understand if it was located on the south west coast of Cornwall or the Shetlands...

Rinse & repeat. Brilliant. That's on my list of new song titles...thanks.

Bless!

Honestly? Before coming on here I was blissfully unaware of the variety of basses available & was quite happy with my cheap squier jazz bass & old cheap bass stack. No one in any band ever commented on said bass/amp, only on my playing. "that's great, or that's not great"...end of. I then entered the black hole of bass forums which reached into my very insecure being, and I began to say to myself. "other bass players will look upon your lowly bass/amp, point and laugh!" Oh how I imagined being mocked by the multitude of low enders. So, I started a ridiculous 10 year journey of buying and selling equipment in order to feel better about myself, so that in my imagination, I could look another bassist in the eye and without hesitation spout forth the list of high end gear that I owned (but couldn't really afford). However, no one in any of the bands I played commented on said bass/amp, only on my playing. Hold in I thought, this has made no difference to anything other than my insecure ego & bank balance. I now own one cheap bass, and don't even own an amp. Still get asked to play/gig/record with some great players. So why the GAS? For me coz I forget what matters, & have to admit I can suffer from chronic comparing syndrome. I'm probably the only one, but I'm glad that's off my chest. My name's oldslapper & I'm a plonker.😁

Ah OK thanks.

That bass VI has a d on the back of the body & the neck. Does that mean they don't work?

Gigs & website/social media, if you're prepared to take orders Ed. Gigs definitely. I've only used CD baby for download sales.

In 40 years of playing bass, a BBE Opto Stomp compressor pedal is the only pedal I have ever used. I bought it & used it for a month at 3 gig's. I had no idea how to use it, and couldn't discern any difference in my sound other than when I turned the controls up and got a "squashed" sound. A support band bassist borrowed my rig including the Opto Stomp, and commented how great it was & offered to buy it off me....which he did. I never heard their sound check, but listen to their set. The bass sounded unremarkable (FOH festival rumble). What's my point? No idea... Other than (understatement alert)... perhaps knowing how & why a piece of equipment works, is the way to get the best out of it. I'm pretty sure sound engineers put compression on my signal....I've never asked & don't intend to, I don't care.

Spoke too soon. 😆

Blimey you lot! You never see these in the for sale section, which obviously means they are brilliant, beautiful & owners would never sell......😉
