I've a feeling this is elsewhere in the thread but it deserves a revisit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwgNnkUiZvg

[quote name='StraightSix' timestamp='1333789466' post='1606393'] I don't think the original Westone Thunder fretless was available lined - the only way you will get one is to buy a de-fretted example. I haven't played much fretless but I love my unlined Thunder III and intonation isn't so difficult once you get familiar with the neck. Also, for information, these basses can be used without batteries (in passive mode) if required. I love mine [/quote] Do you have any pics?

You're welcome to come and have a try of mine if you're still wondering.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1333542795' post='1603208'] Is this supposed to be a joke mate? She is very talented and a great singer, performer and songwriter. Also her bassist is a respected member of Basschat. [/quote] Do you not think it's a bit hypocritical to sing "It's not about the money, money, money" etc and then do ads for Mastercard? Fair enough, do adverts/corporate work/suck on Satan's c*ck (as Bill Hicks put it) but don't tell me it's not about the price tag! Edit:I actually love her singing, esp the big band stuff I've seen.

Do a latin-ey/'jazz' version like this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xq5WpfjgMk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xq5WpfjgMk[/url] Or get these girls to play it for you!

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/1963-fenton-weill-contra-bass/99268377 Interesting looking thing....

That is AMAZING.

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1332859638' post='1594068'] PMT by any chance? [/quote] Townes1992 is male so I don't think it's down to that!

Whoever won this got a massive bargain - under £200!

Could it be that this bass has been on BC before? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/56466-for-sale-ricky-copy-by-vorg-1973/

My Sharona.

Gary Puckett - Young girl. Not just bad nowadays, it's alwayse been dodgy!

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1332467983' post='1588874'] The Talbo wasn't designed by Hayashi San. [/quote] Thanks!

Maybe a transitional design then? After all his other work for other people has been more conventional (but still amazing).

Did H.Noble also work for Tokai? Looking at the Talbo bass, it looks like his work - especially the individual pickups. [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/talbof.jpg[/IMG]

It was me! I've already spotted this so shhhhhhh.... That bridge looks a bit wrong though doesn't it?

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1332427412' post='1588202'] How far did you push? It went pretty much the right price. I had one, Korean made Kay. Changed the bridge and put a Dimarzio P/J set in it and it was very good, but not likely to make other bass players faint with envy. [/quote] I pushed to just below what it went for! Kind of glad I didn't get it as a bass I've looking for for ages has just popped up

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1332316827' post='1586395'] I think the black one is a Burns Black Bison, the red one looks to have 'Vox' written on the pups, but unsure about the other one. Where's Big Red X when you need him? [/quote] I don't know what the black one is but it's not a Bison - there's no "Wild Dog" switch! And it's not pointy enough.

He's pretty honest about it, and if people want to pay a premium for a well set-up bass then that's their choice innit?

Thanks for all your help people Yeah I was thinking along the Vantage or SD Curlee lines. Kay eh? Well, I'm in now but I won't push it too far then.
