Its a stunner i remember passing it up for £700 in about 1993 [/quote] It was Marty's bass, actually Paddy's originally I believe. They used it on Steve McQueen onwards, as far as I know. They used my Stingray prior to that for records, at least for "Swoon".

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1172404' date='Mar 22 2011, 06:26 PM']Dave, welcome You can't post a list of great gear like that without posting pics! There's got to be a law against that?! I too am a big fan of old Fenders, flats and all things old school. There is a gear porn section here on BC. Please, please post some pics of that little lot. I'm sure there would be a lot of interest[/quote] I'm currently uploading pictures, and having a few teething problems, 5 up, 3 to go.....

Here are my working basses. although they don't have too much of a hard life. My Will Lee is in "Guitar Guitar" for sale @£3200. It has a koa front and is back-loaded, with no control plate, and sports a Brazilian board. All options! Its too modern for me. It was originally £3900. It is exactly as new condition. VAT paid, remember! The slab P Bass has serial number 0072 on the bridge The '58 P Bass is one of the last with a 2-tone sunburst The Jazz is a January '66, one of the first with binding and has "show" written in the neck pocket - I forgot to say it is refinished (at least part refinished), but appears original, as its a good job The EB-3 is Pelham Blue gone green with age The Rivoli needs a mute, if anyone has one! The Music Man Stingray has a flame ash body B00 The Cutlass is B02 and is on many Prefab Sprout recordings The 1990 Sadowsky belonged to Kermit Driscoll and is a super bass, but up for sale at £1800 I will be posting the Sadowsky in the for sale section soon. I hope the picture quality on the others is OK! When I dig out my Ibanez Flying V bass, and my Hagstrom 8, I will post these, also the Ned Callan I can't find..........

Hello all, I'm Dave, I'm based in the North East of England, and have been playing for money since 1975. I currently play both guitar and bass, and can read dots, so get lots of cabaret/club things, mainly local. I hate bass amps as they are heavy, so have a tiny Line 6 with outs to PA, also a HD500 board, and if all else fails, a flip top old Ampeg Potaflex. But the main thing is the basses. Isn't it? I started on a Musicmaster and then a Mustang, and wish I'd kept them. Great basses for any style. Now I have this lot; 1954 P Bass (slab/blonde) 1958 P Bass (2-tone) 1964 Gibson EB-3 1964 Epiphone Rivoli 1966 Jazz (dot/bound) 1977 Music Man Stingray 1983 Music Man Cutlass 1 1990 Sadowsky J 2010 Sadowsky Will Lee I'm selling the Sadowsky basses as they are too lively and active for me, I suppose I'm vintage minded for tone, my favourites being a Music Man and the '58 P Bass, everything with flat wounds for me. If it was good enough for Bernard Edwards, its good enough for me. When I was young, I saw Paul McCartney and wanted to get a bass. I heard Peter Green and got a guitar. I heard Andy Fraser, Glen Cornick, John Paul Jones and John McVie, and wanted to get a bass again. So I play both bass and guitar, and between them, do 100 gigs a year at the moment. Russ Stapleford and Herbie Flowers, and the great session players are my favourites. And the guys on the Trojan records stuff. Bass players are always nice guys, yes?
