  1. My 1A unlined fretless had a split P pup, three controls and two switches. I bought mine new in the early 80's and thought it beat many more expensive basses around at the time. Great range of tones available. However, most I would fork out for one now in good nick would be under £150.
  2. Love it. Often wonder where my early unlined fretless L2 has ended up.
  3. Bass looks great. Im sure a nicely reliced refin of that sonic blue over sunburst would look just as dandy. GLWTS
  4. I would get a lefty Sire. Thomann stock them.
  5. You could make the f-hole opening in the shape of a large swift like on your headstocks that would look cool. I have an Alvarez mini travel bass which i think is 27" scale. It is fitted with black tapewound strings. Bottom E response is questionable but overall it's a very playable little instrument.
  6. Me too
  7. Looks stunning! Love that fingerboard.
  8. Would love a Wal.
  9. Wowser! http://www.leftybass.com/e_start.htm
  10. Do Spector do the shorty in a lefty model?
  11. Excellent. Great to see the plaudits being dished out. Well done, that bass is a beauty.
  12. I would buy this if it were a lefty. Looks like a great fretless board.
  13. Great stuff.
  14. Watching this one as I may be a future customer to have a veneer job done. Think that's one of the veneers you emailed me pics of Andy.
  15. Glasgow gig for me if I can get a ticket before it sells out.
  16. Spotted this on ebay. Sounds pretty good for a portable instrument and way cheaper than the Aria Sinsonido. Anyone here got one? https://youtu.be/vEtHIO1FBGg
  17. I have this head with matching 1x12 4ohm cab and it can cope pretty well with a funk band including horns. I still run a line through the PA but it has a lovely warm tone, perfect for anyone into their vintage Fender tone and is light, compact etc. My head came with a bespoke padded case and I got a cab cover from Roqsolid. I liked the Eden tone so much I also have the WTDI pedal, which is pretty much the same tone in a small box.
  18. Should look killer having it back in black!
  19. Been unable to locate a UK dealer for the lefty Ibanez Thalman.
  20. I would also say Hondo. Looks a decent made instrument. How's it play and sound?
  21. Looks amazing. Even greater contrast standing next to a natural finish one. Were coloured options common on Warwicks in the 80's? There was a stunning yellow fretless fiver on here recently too.
  22. Jack Bruce would have happily noodled on this. Superb!
  23. Found a 360 animation of Sting's 54' precision and grabbed some pics. On the back of the bass the finish is almost completely worn away. I wonder just how much maintenance an old bass like this really needs given he plays it constantly.
  24. This is looking top-knotch. Look forward to assembly pics.
