Losing the will to live reading this thread? Am I missing something here?

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1345105512' post='1773484'] One of the most talked about basses on the Olympic closing ceremony was Chris Wotsisname's Status, so anything's possible! [/quote] Don't get me started!! Luke, I need your help!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1345143889' post='1774305'] I think there's a difference between fashionable and cool. 'Fashionable', by definition means popular. 'Cool' needs a combination of exclusivity and desirability, to look good while being different from the norm. The cool thing grows in popularity and eventually becomes fashionable, and consequently uncool :-) So where does that leave Warwicks? I hardly ever see them out at gigs, so not fashionable. As far as cool is concerned, it's subjective, but I certainly don't have GAS for one, ergo not cool.[/quote] This. The only time I can recall any reference to the word 'cool' associated with a Warwick, was when jack Bruce first got his thumb, but thinking about it, they were probably talking about him, and not the coffee table with strings on that he was playing! ....runs for cover!!

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1344804609' post='1769416'] Go on Rick , buy it , ya know ya wanna [/quote] Chris, I'd love it, as I'm sure most of us would, sadly out of my league at the moment. I have my sights on something else at the moment, which is proving a struggle to raise sufficient funds for, although I'm working hard at it!!!

Uber rare Precision bass, when did you last see a blonde/maple/gold combo¿¿ [url="http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-precision-bass-1957-see-through-blonde"]http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-precision-bass-1957-see-through-blonde[/url]

Welcome to BC Al, and good luck shifting your Fender (Not a great time for sellers at the moment though!!). Rick

[quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342801939' post='1741278'] Well, I'm not blessed with the woodworking/electronics skills to "do my own" so I'm trapped to buy I guess. My Nash 55 was about $1800 US; sorry I don't have the British Pound Key on my keyboard Not sure what you mean about the string ferrules, but I assume you know something about the specs I don't. Strings thru fine for me. Of course Bravewood isn't represented to me for comparison over here, there are other smaller builders that do the same thing: [/quote] I don't either, i just assemble and relic them. The string ferrules are on the back of the body where the strings pass through to the bridge. nash use the allparts bodies which have the small '51 reissue style ferrules, because the larger ones are notoriously hard to come by. This is the last project i did, which i recently sold on here, with the correct ferrules; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/181123-fender-precision-1955-relic-project/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/181123-fender-precision-1955-relic-project/page__fromsearch__1[/url] The Bravewood I have has the most authentic bodywork i have ever seen, outside of Clive Brown. New Kings Road have 8 or so Nash on their site at the moment, including a P. Expensive methinks.

I'd love this, unfortunately I'm sh*te. What a great gig for someone though. Great post.

Personally, i wouldnt spend £2k+ (or even £1k+), on a '55 relic bass, when they can't even be arsed to get the correct string ferrules fitted, something that is very specific to that model. In my experience, Nash are very poor value for money, and yet seem to command alot of interest, and good prices. Shocking torty guards too! Bravewood are in a different league alltogether to Nash, and are similarly priced. Its all about personal taste though innit. I'd still rather do my own, for far less dollar, and it's more fun.

[quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1342705072' post='1739631'] Bids've all been cancelled, it's gone now! Half expecting it to resurface in a couple of days with a more honest description. [/quote] he's probably agreed a deal outside eBay with someone!

Forget serial number absences, since when did period Fenders have a truss rod adjuster at the headstock end?, let alone the headstock shape, and a dozen others. I feel someone is gonna get shafted though.

Awful..just awful.

I don't know who's more excited about this, you......or me! Lovin' it!
