We all know that it's going to end up nailed to the wall in a pub...

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1377084808' post='2183092'] I am close to chewing my own arm off waiting for mine. [/quote] Don't do that... mind you, less arms, should save wear and tear on the handles.

[sup]I can't believe this bass is still for sale![/sup] [sup]I'd have it if it had the right number of strings![/sup] [sup]Here's a free bump![/sup]

My question. Are you REALLY prepared to answer ANY question?

eubassix made a nice little earner on that one... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251281014276#ht_292wt_988"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251281014276#ht_292wt_988[/url]

OBBM is great. Can't sing his praises enough. His "singerproof" XLR cable is still holding up perfect. Music wise, I can only recall paying full whack upfront for my inear monitors - but that's kinda understandabe. They'd be left with a product unique to me if I didn't pay the balance.

[quote name='Francis Pettifer' timestamp='1376873188' post='2180298'] I still gig regularly in and around the Coventry/Midlands areas, and yes, I am, [b]Fran Pettifer[/b].....(the waistcoat, sadly, was stolen at a gig), I've sold the Bass Collection, and now use a Yamaha TRB5p. [/quote] Right. Next job. Lets find that waistcoat... or at least a like for like replacement.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1376811044' post='2179262'] I'm not suggesting anything - I just wondered whether people would think a builder would be in the wrong if something was damaged after it had left his workshop. By complete chance this has actually happened to me personally. Something was sent out in perfect condition, a buyer tinkered with it and caused some problems. He then said it was faulty when it arrived and asked for his money back. What made it worse was that he said it was faulty when I sent it and that I had deliberately misrepresented it when I put it up for sale. I took it back without getting involved in a protracted wrangle because it seemed easier and then had to pay to have the damage rectified. [/quote] Absolutely not. What was the fault?!

Plenty of other threads to look at...

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1376777440' post='2179111'] Hypothetically speaking. . . If I buy a bass that's been used and shows obvious wear marks that the builder tells me about, then I fiddle around with it and make it significantly worse, does that mean the guy who sold it to me is completely in the wrong and shouldn't have sold it to me in the first place? [/quote] Barrie - surely you arent telling me that the purchaser of this bass routed the horn like that.. then went to the trouble of refinishing it? The superglue would have cleaned up easy. Whether it was put there or not be JC, I cant believe it would have left the JC workshop without the glue being removed. All very odd.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1376767681' post='2178962'] [/size] [size=4]Heh, heh. It would apply to everything I own now and in the future too, [i]except [/i]for the BF cab I'm going to buy as soon as I've got the loot. [/size][size=4]I've wanted one ever since I borrowed Happy Jack's S12 for a few months and if paying up front for it is the only way it's going to happen, then so be it![/size] [/quote] Theoretically then, if the BF operation went pop, there could be a lot of money owed. Why is this company working lile this? Im guessing it needs the money in order to pay for... something?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376750880' post='2178690'] The silver cloth does look much better than the tandy style ones. [/quote] Just got to work on the 80s logo now.

Ah! Any of Wayne's chequerboarded basses!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1376775446' post='2179088'] Mike's (urb) Sei fretless. [/quote] Didnt think he had a fretless Sei. You meaning his singlecut?

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1376679965' post='2178052'] Fact of the matter is that the specs against anything else that's even close are still more expensive and this is an example of a cab that gets used a lot. [/quote] I think that factoid was debunked at post #126.

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1376483833' post='2174565'] No doubt he is a great bassist and deserves all the credit he gets. However, the music on the clip seems to be more about technique/chops with little in the way of relating to an audience. I could not relate to it. YMMV. [/quote] It's one of those shread things isn't it?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1376666460' post='2177727'] I'm afraid Axminster is in receivership. Will tufted Wilton do. [/quote] True. But ideally, I'm looking for a vintage Axminster P bass. With matching strap.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376664246' post='2177657'] The black one, the red one or the blue sparkle fretless? [/quote] Red for me.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1376665777' post='2177707'] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH85zttgbGg [/quote] Aw c'mon, this is fur and fluff! I'm looking for a slab of Axminster's finest!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376664724' post='2177678'] What about the van from dumb and dumber? [/quote] Has to be a bitch to polish and mop...

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1376664617' post='2177676'] [/quote] At least the aesthetics are in keeping with the thread.

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1376663574' post='2177635'] In your subjective opinion. [/quote] Yup. They were all sh1t, mine included!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1376663974' post='2177649'] No, they've moved on to poly, but people still demand the inferior old way of doing it. Kind of like wanting tolex or carpet instead of hard coatings. [/quote] I've never seen a bass with carpet on?

[quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1376662597' post='2177610'] Eude's 6 string finn, The Doodle, Kiwi's Shuker MIDI 6 and Sheps Roscoe LG [/quote] I couldn't pick out Eude's Finn. I can't think what Kiwi's Shuker looks like but I just recall a Kiwi inlay. Shep's Roscoe... if I was in a room full or Roscoes, I would have to get a measuring tape out to find the one which was 32" scale! (PS not saying, they aren't iconic basses, just that I as an individual find them hard to picture right now!)
