Ricky 4000 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Here's an unusual bass for sale on the 'bay -- made by Tim DeWhalley who made Ampro active electronics back in the 1980s. ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-DeWhalley-Bass-Guitar-In-Hard-Case/163396652617 I did a forum search for "dewhalley", and not one result came up. Not for me, but somebody here might be interested in it!? ATB - Phil Edited December 2, 2018 by Ricky 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I had it on watch list but bought an 80’s bb by accident and will have to stop looking on eBay to prevent further incidents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ideally looking out for a J bass, one with that sweet raspy sound, that they don't all have... but I also keep scanning for Yamahas.... Is your BB a high-end model? I was wondering what the cheaper 234 and 400 series are like? Trying for a buget of around 3-400. There's a BB N4 (J design) going very cheap - but it's very rough, and I know nothing about them. I might just end up trying an RBX 374 because they're plentiful, and I like the look of the HH pups with the neat thumb rests. But then there's the TRBX504.... Sorry, too many thoughts and questions.... 😖 Edited December 2, 2018 by Ricky 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 1 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I knew Tim DeWhalley. I lived above his workshop in the 1980's. He built basses, guitars and mandolins. He did some work for Terence Trent-Darby and the Stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Bought for £157. Someone got a bargain for a luthier made bass even if the condition wasn’t great. Anyone on here the successful bidder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
