oops sorry for big pics boys, plus nets pretty good speed wise I find.

Been meaning to do this for a while, funny how ur tastes change over the years. Im not including the early year Encores and Arias but thought id start with the first serious money bass I ever bought. A Status Kingbass 5 A Brand new Stingray I got for £599 from memory A Stingray5, bought to sell really used it twice, nice bass, but was turning back to four stringers Bugger should never have sold this, I was well short of cash and things conspired, used it again a couple of times, she was well beat, but thats how I like em. A Lakland 5502 deluxe, I love Lakkys,this was my first, bought from the Bass merchant for £685 if I remember. Had her two years, I love this pic. A Jo4 and my current keeper a DPLE1. The Jo was sold. Fender Pbass mid late 80s I think, too clinical and was wanting something older! And last butnot least and my current keeper a DPLE1 Lakland which just about covers all courts IMHO. Theres loads of insignificant basses ive missed out and apologies to all you Squier and Dean owners,bit these are the ones I remember. As to the ones I should have never sold the beat up Ray pains me (apologies to a member of this site) as to the ones Im looking forward to. Theres an original 75 PB winging its way to me soon and pics will be posted soon.

Smashing, great work. I wouldnt have given it a second look in that awful red, but now shes stunning, more pics when completed please.

hey whats wrong with the EBS its a fine bit of kit (why does my wife hate me calling stuff KIT, anyone know or have any idea of female logic, I digress!)

Good info baldy, I had that on my watch list! still if it goes for a snip I guess you could throw some dosh at it and bring it up to scratch. These oldies are worth the time and money sometimes. Thanks for the heads up!

oooo eeer darent tell ya what i snipped my 75 up for last week. Pics to follow when shes ready.

+10 for Mike, nice guy nice basses.

I play Lakland Osborne and a vintage PB, what im saying is that ive picked theup and played them in shops etc and they feel a bit "organic" thats probably not the right word but as if theyre trying a bit too hard to be cool and different, ramble over.[quote name='finnbass' post='27246' date='Jul 4 2007, 11:12 PM']Obviously they are not as endemic as Precisions, Jazzs ,Rickenbackers etc but.... If you drive a BMW you notice other BMWs. If you drive a Mercedes, you notice other Mercedes. I see loads of bass players using Warwicks, but I notice them because that's what I play. You notice people playing what you play. What do you play?[/quote]

Who?

where?[quote name='finnbass' post='27205' date='Jul 4 2007, 10:14 PM']I think they look great, Im an old git and I see them being played all the time. [/quote]

Why do I think Warwicks look hideous? is it cause im an old git? I never see them on the box played live.

Shoewatch, i like it beedy!.........i think i got my pb in the end, made him a offer and he took it! does that qualify for ebay bargains or do u need details!

Nice work Insp Beedster!

I have an Ashdown trolley somewhere the marketed them as such for a while, if ur interested Ill look it out.

But hey I kinda like it perversley, boy look at that litter of pups! [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=344323"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=344323[/url]

Nice one Bloodaxe I should have seen that one coming![quote name='Bloodaxe' post='24660' date='Jun 28 2007, 11:00 PM']Those little knob thingies on the headstock /coat[/quote]

The neck is indeed fabulous and she records great too. Finishes on the bay soon. Is £575 too expensive? Oh well if it dont sell it will stay here, but offers of course are welcomed. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1931"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1931[/url]

Oh bugger platypus, I loved that bass, glad u still have her, what action has she seen and hows she playin, I do love the slimmer necks tho, must be something to do with my expanding waistline!

70's PB. Im a man of simple needs.
