    Tim lectures in Music Production at Newcastle College. He teaches my son. Small world... "My band" is Rush. No contest. Apart from Marilliion perhaps. And maybe Level 42 for a period....

    I've not had this lovely bass long (traded through this very forum!), but I have my eye on something else and need to release some funds! Made in 2009. Condition-wise I would give it 9/10 as there are a couple of small, superficial dings and scratches (which I will try to show in photos) but nothing that affects playability. Plays beautifully, with one of the nicest necks I've ever played. Sounds monstrous, and has a huge range of tones from the two humbuckers - often described as a "Jazz bass on steroids", and I can see where that reference comes from! Balances very well, with no neck-dive at all (although I only use wide straps). Recently strung with DR Hi-Beams. Not heavy at around 8lb 6oz (according to my kitchen scales). Just feels like a serious quality instrument! Comes in the original hard case, which is so plush that my cat has it's eye on it as a bed! These pics will do for now, but I will take some more ASAP. Any questions just ask. I'm happy to ship this, but obviously this will be at the purchaser's expense (and risk). I will deliver locally (North East and North West England, and South West Scotland) for petrol expenses. I would much prefer a cash sale, but if you have anything in a Status, Fender Jazz-type, G&L, Musicman or Yamaha style and fancy a trade, just shout! No amps or cabs required thanks (unless it's an EAD Foundation 212!!)

    Withdrawing this. Too good to let go!

    Last chance, otherwise I'll be giving this to my son for his birthday on Monday (yes, he does play bass and guitar!). He'd probably rather have the cash though...

    I've got a Thunder 1, which is the passive version of this bass (and not in as good condition). They are stunningly well made for the price-point, with excellent playability and sounds. Good price too!

    Any interest in trades at all?

    Rosewood according to the specs... but it does look very dark. http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/Thunderbird-IV-Bass/Specs.aspx

    Try playing either of these (no nasty Adam Clayton comments please!) without using open strings...
  12. Conan
    Half-hearted bump. Thinking of withdrawing this due to lack of interest and a desire to hang on to it...
  13. Conan
    Fair enough, but the thread title refers to "love" for Jaco (well, his playing I assume!). It is possible to appreciate his playing but not love it. I love some of it, but other stuff (like the example above) leaves me a bit cold. Still, even a master musician can have an off day...

    Offers? Trades?
  15. Conan
    Absolutely! But then sometimes taste goes out of the window... For example:

    I'm still happy with my lightweight (Markbass LM2 and Barefaced Compact) rig. When i have heard it used by other bassists I have been astounded by the sheer tonal authority coming out of such a small and light package. After twenty years of humping around a Trace Elliot stack, this pleases me greatly!
  17. Conan
    Great combo - but if you sell this you will be gormless...
  18. Conan
    Does it have a fitted cover? And I take it you're not interested in trades?
  19. Conan
    Is that a completely flat (zero radius) fingerboard?
  20. Conan
    Shame G&L didn't undertake that thinking process before coming up with this monstrosity...
  21. Conan
    Wow indeed!! Superfast now!
  22. Conan
    PM at you!

    I think that's a bit unfair. Many of us are of the "more mature" age group, and have been using BC for years. We didn't ask for the changes, but are generally quite happy to ride with them until we get used to them. that is difficult and frustrating at the moment due to the problems. Making this an ad hominem argument and suggesting that members "set up their own forum" is a bit childish and unhelpful. We understand that the problems must be frustrating for the forum staff as well, but there is no need to take the criticisms personally...

    Everything is extremely slow and I keep getting locked out (some error message, which I will copy next time it happens). Sending PMs today seems to be very difficult - which is frustrating when trying to sell and buy things... Edit - it's just happened again, and it is an "Error 522" apparently. Losing the will to live here and unable to PM someone about a pedal they have for sale...
  25. Conan
    Price dropped to £50 (but postage no longer included). Unused and unopened (well, apart from the box, which I opened to take the photos...).
