Another shout could be a Phil Jones Suitcase. 300w 4x5" combo that has 2 inputs with separate volume and EQ settings PJB gear is used by upright and electric players so should do the job perfectly for electro acoustic too. I saw Bass Direct have a used Suitcase right now for £500, of course this might not be quite what you're looking for

Keep an eye on the marketplace here and eBay/Gumtree for Squier necks that might occasionally pop up. Be worth putting an ad up in the Items Wanted section too! Another place to look is the "decorative" section of Thomann, might be able to get a whole bass for the price of a neck! Best of luck

Tough paper round for this bass but I'm sure it sounds great https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/musicman-sub-sterling-usa-06-bass-with-emg-jazz-p-u-fitted-/1255866366

Or these? https://www.facebook.com/vbcustomexerciseguitars/

I'm not sure if you actually have an interest in Greek culture or it's just a username but I came across this word: Psilos which means bare/smooth/uncovered in ancient Greek. Thought it would be quite fitting for the nature of the design and finish.

As mentioned, others have been in but as very background characters with very few lines if any. The Sheeran spot felt forced, almost like a SNL sketch or something. I know in the books Arya does come across a singing soldier so it fits but he didn't need to go "yeah, it's a new one". One shot of his face singing would have been enough to show he was there like the other "guest spots" Anyway, it's done now

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1500362575' post='3337139'] For me the problem with Yamaha is that the model numbers don't tell you much, you say a BB series, well a BBNE2 is around £3500! [/quote] This. The BB series has been through so many iterations a more specific model is needed to give you a value.

Can''t really go wrong for £30 if you're in the area. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bb404-bass-guitar/1255300439

Ah that's a bummer. If you are a member of any of the music gear selling groups on Facebook it's worth plastering them and getting people to share it. Hopefully they turn up

In b4 Maruszczyk is recommended. Custom bass made to your spec in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, see the thread here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/254344-the-official-maruszczyk-club/page__pid__3336039__st__2040#entry3336039 . Or P pickup ready to go, you could look at Yamaha BB series. New ones on the way so the higher end older models 1024/2024 are on offer and apparently incredible passive basses. Best of luck on your search!

Not sure how many are aware of this but there is a Musicians Hearing Scheme https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/working-retired-musicians/musicians-hearing-health-scheme For £40 (£30 if you are an MU member) you get a hearing assessment and a pair of custom made ear plugs plus more. Not bad if you ask me.

Inserting announcement video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjoLqo_Dh5Y[/media] Unusual to get a 12min video from the company itself. Fair play to Epiphone. Although the perma-overdrive sound used is annoying...

Enquired....can't seem to find anything about an SVT300 cab. Anyone else got a better guess as to what model it is? EDIT: My guess is it's an SVT210HE. Happy to be proven wrong though

For Curveball Covers you could do worse than look at older versions of Radio 1's Live Lounge Albums (Volume 1 - 2006 and Volume 2 - 2007) They have some bands doing some fun covers.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1498825449' post='3327356'] Ooh - maybe some clearance bargains to be had on NOS 1025 models etc? [/quote] Yup, pretty sure GuitarGuitar and others have already been discounting stock. GG have the 1025x at £599 if that's cheap enough for you?

Shame there isn't a 5er with a maple board.... Still think they look great, hope the pickups are as good as the old ones! Bass Direct just posted a photo of one in the flesh and I'm digging the white with black headstock

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1498597778' post='3325832'] Admittedly, I want the couch more than the bass! [/quote] Maybe you'll get it as part of a loyalty scheme one day!

Just wondering if anyone has seen/heard/tried one of the new Richter range yet?

Buy now, Pay later.....Hmmmmmmm. *Must stay strong, must stay strong*

OooooOOoooo very interesting. Now just to find a shop that stocks one

That's a stupid price! Best of luck to whoever snatches that up.
