Me, I’ve bought nowt!

[Maude]

I'm still in, although I'm being taunted by a bass on Facebook Marketplace, but mainly to scavenge the parts that are on, then replace them with standard parts and move it on. 

Is that really buying a bass, or just stocking my parts drawer for the future? 🤔😁

Is it the white ovation Magnum that’s taunting me even though it’s a train wreck?

Other than the stand I bought for my EUB (tier 2 at worst), I’m still in. There have been a few things that have tickled my fancy, but either the GAS wire off, or someone beat me to it (a certain, red, Rickalike springs to mind here). Really not that bothered by anything at the moment, I’m even thinking of offloading some basses, as they’re just sitting there, doing nothing.

No, an old Epiphone EBO. Showing it's years, been defretted (done well), but has a Hipshot Supertone, what looks like a DiMarzio Model One mudbucker and a set of La LaBella flats. 

15 minutes away for £199. 

 

I'm struggling 😁
