Welcome back Beedster ... did you move far?

What a beautiful collection! ... Bet they took years to accumulate !!

Agreed that's a great price ... especially being natural instead of a burst. Nothing's selling very well at the moment though, so it wouldn't shock me if it doesnt reach 400. Nick

Lol I'm guessing you're looking at the writing on them . At a glance in the photos it looks like it could be Nordstrand ... alas it says "Noiseless" ...only info I have on them is that they are "Custom Noiseless Pickups". But I've just had a good idea lol

Here's some more .....

Here's the new jazz .. havent had a chance to take any photos yet in decent light, so here's a temporary one that I was sent by the fella I bought it from. Stunning bass, excellent punchy clear tones and a nice weight too . I should've mentioned ... its a Custom Shop Classic V . Colour is ebony transparent , but the photo doesnt capture that very well, so I'll try sometime soon in better lighting conditions

Wow that's a surprise!.. Healey is friggin awesome !... always admired him since I heard the album he did with "Angel Eyes" on it .

The Eggle was my first delve into 5 string , and into fretless. Bought it sight unseen from ebay , and gigged with it the following night which I was pretty pleased about as I'd never played fretless before. Biggest dilemna was having to actually physically put my fingers on the correct string to start each song lol.

New jazz on it's way tomorrow . I can't see me being at work very long lol

Very Very nice collection!! ..... I thought you sold the pentabuzz a couple of years ago.

Fellas , my heart bleeds for you !! I'm sure some day someone will come to watch you LOL

I just explained in other thread but I'll make it known here too. I can't commit to wether I can go yet due to my wedding being only 3 weekends after. So it's probably best to not rely on me. If things are on target enough for me to be able to kill a day at bassists heaven then I'll be there Will be able to take my new baby too if I make it woooooohoooooooo !!

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='145918' date='Feb 24 2008, 11:23 AM']BTW, are you going to the Bass Bash next month Nick? Nik[/quote] I really can't commit to that yet Nik . Got a wedding 3 weekends after that and one of those weekends is spent in Dublin. Just depends on if the organisational side of things is up to target. Fingers X'd . You'll be among the first to know coz I might jump in with you fellas in the minibus if there's room Nick.

Nice collection Nik .... I was after a RBV a few years ago and couldn't find one anywhere. Awesome looking bass ... what bridge is it wearing? edit: and don't you have any additions to this thread yet? lol

That's come out really nicely .. congrats!!

LOL

Thank god for high speed internet lol

Hi Trev that's an awesome price for lessons from a top pro player .. do you have any references? soundclips / webpage? Who have you played with in a professional capacity? Cheers, Nick.

You certainly look overjoyed by your new requisition lol

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='144116' date='Feb 21 2008, 12:34 AM']There's too many to mention really! But Merton's Status Groove 5, Nig's G&L L2500, WalMan's Wal Custom, Luke's Ibanez Fretless and one of Water of Tyne's vintage Fenders quickly spring to mind We can but dream, I suppose.....[/quote] Nig has a L2500? I thought he was a 4 banger G&Ler. I used to own a groove 5 and it was a fantastic bass! My fave within basschat at the moment has to be Homer's HH Bongo ... I dont know if it would ever be a bass I'd keep for ever , but it sure looks beautiful! (Truth be known I've been waiting for it to come up for sale and it never did )

That's a lovely looking jazz!!
