Hmm the more i look at this the more i am unsure. Looks like Bartolini's here, more proof of a pedulla?

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='515496' date='Jun 16 2009, 05:21 PM']Isn't it a Pedulla??? BB[/quote] This is what i thought first of all, but the headstock is not quite there!

[quote name='Lorne' post='515421' date='Jun 16 2009, 04:04 PM']You shoulda bought the vintage harness for it [/quote] True! But then again i like a modern day grindy tone.... Plus it needs a 5th string I prefer a musicman for that Bernard Edwards Thaaaang.

I still havent worked out what that fretless is or if they make a 5 string version, if anyone can help see the video at 40ish seconds for a close up..... of course mine would have to be the right way up Heres a far better quality video to hear how great a fretless can sound in a death metal band.

Remys playing and sound gave me the idea to use a fretless in extreme genres and loving every minute of it.... now if only the pedulla can get that lovely sound as well, damn barts![/quote] So can anyone figure out what bass it is? Definitely custom with an interested headstock. Do you play heavier music with a fretless? How do you manage to cut through and keep the fretless mwaaaah? Cheers! Rob.

Are there two that are so similar that you couldnt tell the difference between them in a dim room?

Bah i really need to get a few BC Riches again. Missing em now! I want the eagle back again But i'd need to sort the sound out somehow.

Hey any updates on the 5 string? Would love to see it sorted 100%

[quote name='Finbar' post='514747' date='Jun 15 2009, 09:06 PM']Okay, so I posted a bass for sale on another website, and received an email about it. Great, I thought. Here's how it went down: Maybe I worry too much, and I hope this mail isn't from someone on here, or I'll feel like a douche. But it just doesn't sound quite right to me. I would just expect the buyer to sound a bit more interested in the bass. Not one mention of the bass itself at all. Can my ad be that good that no questions need to be asked about it or anything? And I don't expect everyone to have perfect English, and while its perfectly understandable, it seems almost like it has been run through a language converter or something in places. Actually, that wouldn't bother me, had I not had such a mountain of emails from wealthy Nigerian beneficiaries If I receive a paypal payment and then withdraw it to my bank before shipping the bass, nothing can go wrong, right?[/quote] I wouldnt do it mate. Paypal can take money out of your bank account to recoup its money. If not just block the transfer from your account to your bank. Seriously err on the side of caution.

Hey guys. Just bought this off the 'bay. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=260428089428"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=260428089428[/url] Its a early 80's Hamer USA Blitz bass. With a set neck, i got a very good price on it! It has patent applied for Dimazios. So obviously very very early ones! Anyway this post is a pre-emptive feeler just in case i dont get on with it! I had said to myself to never buy a pointy bass again but i just couldnt help it when i saw the Zebra finish! If i sold it on i will sell it for the price i paid of 200 picked up! More pics when i recieve it! Rick Savage played one in the Def leppard video "Foolin" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaSD_TOSQjQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaSD_TOSQjQ[/url] To keep you going with this thread here are some pictures of other Blitz basses!

Thats amazing lorne! I bet your tech is going nuts just thinking about trying to sort it all out though, i really feel for him considering the projects you have brought him in recent years! Seriously, that is just gorgeous, would love to take it off your hands! Whilst i may not have a BCR, my love for an ironbird has not diminished Rob. EDIT: Pm me if your selling any of your current brood

[quote name='CyberBass' post='510135' date='Jun 10 2009, 01:20 PM']Rob, Was great meeting you, a nice genuiune guy, and good to do business with too. Hope your weekend wasn't too bleary. Did you get to go back to Bath in the end?[/quote] Yeah it was insane, One of my mates got chucked out of the moles club twice after having 10 pints of guiness in an hour, he was sleeping on the dancefloor! They he got lary with the doorman and we all had to leave by that point. The weekend was insane, i got invited into a three-way, had some lovely bird in her early 30's chatting me up (Had to say no though cause of the mrs!) also a guy who brought his Xbox 360 left it on his first train back and didnt notice it til he was halfway through the journey on his second train! He had to go all the way to London straight after and get to lost property (Which was closed by the time he got there) Spent the night on the platform. He managed to get it back in the morning after paying a £5 idiot tax. He ran to his train home and managed to lose his sleeping bag under the train. Queue a 20 minute train delay to get it out from underneath :S There are many more stories due to that weekend but i cant talk much as i have a bunch of coursework to do! Rob.

Ade came around to buy my Fender Precision, thoroughly nice bloke in weird circumstances! Cheers mate
