    I like it. Just so long as it's not in the same room as me. :reaches for garlic, stake and crucifix:

    These or something extremely similar pop up on eBay now and again, new I think. I can't remember the price or the name. (Helpful, me.) Possibly the bouts are dismountable for travel? Don't remember this as a listed feature though. Possibly someone tried to work out what it was and saw pics of an Aria Sinsonido (dismountable wire bouts with foam padding) and thought "Oh that's it"...

    Moved jobs since then, but yeah, collection would be a snip. Ah well. Sorry

    Nice! If I didn't have a BEX-4 I'd be after this. I do like that white lining in the F-holes, very elegant
  5. alyctes
    Lovely :) Thanks!

    Erm, "no income" is not a first-world problem! Good luck with your sale!

    I like these, but 38" is too long for my 34" basses GLWYS!

    Bloody hell. From bitter experience, I know that cracking in the hard outer shell of the luthite body acts as a weakness and makes the lower horn very fragile. And the upper horn too, I have no doubt. Avoid like the plague.

    Saw that. Not pretty, is it.

    Somebody demoing a Vox Standard. YouTube video. A pro, way better than I'll ever be.

    No bids. Worth keeping an eye on.

    Social distancing by having a bloody great cab next to you. A system we can all applaud

    I think that's more mauve than lavender? Purple, anyway. (Disclaimer: I have no idea what Sandberg calls that colour )

    The unexpected revival of this thread has caught me flat-footed. I suppose that means I'm not instep with the Basschat massive.

    Simple and elegant. Very nice
  16. alyctes
    Good to know. Thanks

    How wide is the neck?

    I'm really glad these are nice and good value, having told a colleague that his son wasn't asking for something rubbishy for Christmas...

    No Rick, no Tbird, nothing with PP pickups, only one fretless... plenty of space to expand

    It's nice to see the community putting their sole into this sort of thing.

    Presumably it is stable. But the modder didn't know that at the time
  22. alyctes
    Agree. I have a Kramer Duke, which is quite capable of maiming your drummer if not handled carefully. And that's not even pointed.

    I wouldn't want to drill the neck like that, myself; four holes across the top of the neck, positioned just right for a crack to propagate, and with the four original strings putting tension on the area. Trouble waiting to happen.

    Tres Chicas, 'Bloom, Red and the Ordinary Girl'. Pleasant enough if you like that sort of thing, but one of them is Tonya Lamm ex Hazeldine, so I was hoping for something more.

    I suspect it's a Hohner, but I can't really pin down why I think that.
