    I had one - Dalek's handbag - the bass was quite nice to play but the electronic gubbins never tracked correctly. Invariably it was left in its rather fetching pink lined case and my Moog was gainfully employed instead! It weighed significantly more than a Triumph Dolomite.

    [quote name='lloyd' timestamp='1406824373' post='2515081'] I really really love this bass and being a big fat bloater the weight isn't a problem, any comparisons on the sound? [/quote] Well as I said very versatile from smooth jazz tones to more clanky Ricky sounds and everything between. Great variation for a passive. Cheers

    [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1406802144' post='2514791'] If could find one just under 10lbs (so the same weight as my Fender 5)....I'd be happy But this does look great, its a bit like the classic Stingrays, I really like all the other T-40 finishes, but there's something about the Natural ones. Si [/quote] I reckon the bridge weighs about 1lb alone, you could always put a Fender string through on it

    [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1406791237' post='2514676'] You guys. . . . . There are a lot more heavier basses out there - some 70's Fenders are the same weight. I assume from this post that Jon now has the twin that I was looking at? Progtastic, mate! Ash, had you not thought of keeping it for a while? Cheers. [/quote] You are right about the weight I had a 70s Precision and also a Gibson Victory which were both around 13lbs! Sadly I need to shift it on as I can't tolerate any weight above 9lbs standing for any length of time. My Rick 3001 is my heaviest bass but I use that for recording only so I don't need another 'sit down' bass and my Grabber tends to be my bass of choice weighing in at just over 8lbs. It is a superb bass but I can't justify it not being played. Yes the twin went to Jon and it is indeed progtastic however another weighty bass hence the swap - much heavier than the T40 though! Thanks for the link Karl this shows what potential sounds are on board this beast!

    What a great bloke to deal with - Jon and I did a trade; my Gordy Blueshift for his Peavey T40. Very easy trade without any problems at all. Many thanks - Ash

    Kaput non Fender neck sold at a stupid price.

    The Quartet isn't a particularly valuable synth and it's pretty robust so yes I'd agree that in this case it's worth considering options further afield. I was happy to courier my Wasp synth as it wasn't a heavy item and I bought it as 'scrap' although on its return journey it was rather better insured!

    My first bass - Fender Musicmaster ( I still have the owners manual for it and always check the serial number against any white ones I see ) sold when skint at college age 17. My old faithful JV Squier Jazz sold to a fellow Basschatter about 23 years ago, he still has it ( and has more of an emotional claim to it after all these years) but I still miss it and badger him about it when I get the chance!

    Gibson 'Clipper' ? Didn't know they made cigarette lighters - although I've seen some Tokai copies

    The other chap is Tony Allgood at Oakley Sounds in Penrith although he mainly builds his own now he will sometimes look at an interesting oldie - which yours is. He bought a Logan String Melody off me a year or so ago, knowledgeable and friendly. Link - http://www.oakleysound.com

    Lovely amps just refurbishing a Selmer PA SV100 as I write this. Bloody loud old amps with a gorgeous tone.

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1406099402' post='2508221'] Ash, 2nd set, 2nd number guitarist breaks string 2 bars into solo. Screams at me to fill and I make a very badly timed hash of it. Your kind lies are appreciated . To all others daft enough to read, I HATE ASH. He looks like one of those ridiculously handsome young 60's film stars. People who look like that have NO place in the bass world Hope your Achilles is on the mend Mr. Oh, and a Welsh organiser contacted the drummer last night, about another festival. [/quote] I must have missed that bit or the alcohol had taken its toll! Ha! Ha! I wish the female population of a Lancaster believed that but thanks for cheering a chap up My Achilles is on the mend I'm a one crutch bass player now. Gotta say that it's a standing joke with me and my mate who is a massive Lynyrd Skynyrd fan - we always and I mean always shout for 'Freebird' at every gig we go to no matter who is playing; Magazine, VDGG, Manics, Eels, Bill Bailey, Courtney Pine, any pub band, blah, blah.... You lot did it and did it well rendering my mate speechless

    I saw the band last weekend in Lancaster and you looked pretty happy up there on stage mate! Good to meet you finally and hear the band - who were excellent by the way!
  22. ash
    Yep my local too a great shop and a top bloke
  23. ash
    It's a pickup selector switch, the top is missing ( you can pick them up cheap enough) so you can use the treble pickup on its own if you want - sounds great quite mid range and honky, there are a lot more tonal variations than the pure 'mud' of the single pickup version.

    Bump for a beauty!

    [quote name='tonyxtiger' timestamp='1405782227' post='2505218'] Found this thread so thought I'd add my old Eccleshall 335. [/quote] Now that is a beaut! Have you still got it?
