    Looks like all his albums made with Epic are being re-mastered and available in a box set

    Not seen on Amazon yet - the chappie on no treble says no new tracks - whilst strictly true - some missing tracks from the vinyl version of "I wanna play for you", namely "Off the planet" - a piccolo bass tour de force (!) is on there - worth the price of entry alone methinks - plus the tracks on that particular album are now in the same order as the vinyl as I remember it - showing my age here !

    One thing I'd like to ask - on the later album "Future Shock", the track "Heaven Sent" on the CD is quite a different mix from that of the vinyl version - and vastly inferior to my ears. Anyone know if you can get a CD that mirrors exactly the vinyl version ?? Maybe a Japanese version perhaps ?

    CIJ 2005 Fretless P-Bass?

    The PB62FL had a basswood body and Japanese pickups - wouldn't let that put you off - sounds great with the unlined maple neck.

    The PB70US-84FL had an ash body and US pickups - the "84" part of the model number related to the price in Japan - 84,000 yen.

    CIJ 2005 Fretless P-Bass?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    As I remember - back in 2005 or so there were a couple of choices - a sunburst with unlined rosewood - PB62FL - I've seen a few of these on e-bay and should be reasonably easy to find

    Also - an ash body with unlined maple fingerboard - PB70US-84FL - these are a good bit more rare.

    I know about these as I bought both and swapped necks !

    They both make for fantastic fretless P-basses - whether you swap necks or not........

    Only way of obtaining one would be e-bay, ishibashi in japan - used only I'm afraid - or perhaps far east guitars - [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/[/url]

    Perhaps others may suggest some decent sources

    Good luck with your hunt !

    Rush - Clockwork Angels - Preview

    ......well, looking forward to the album. However, I have a gut feeling six months down the line after the "Classic Rock" release and the initial label release - you'll get the "extended version" with a DVD of the making of the album or the "bluray 5.1 mix" will come out - i.e., the record label milking it.

    Call me cynical........


    How about Steve Wilson produces the next album though ?

    Warwick Alien 6-String

    Interesting ! - I knew the 4- and 5-strings have been in the pipeline for a while but have taken an age for Warwick to get them right. The 6-er is quite unusual - usually the preserve of people like Shuker or Kinal.

    Would definitely try first before buying - have always fancied a fretless 4- or 5-string Alien with flatwounds mind.........

    Not looking forward to tax and import duties. Should be with me late this week early next week.

    Great guy to deal with - I was having real time conversations with him via e-mail/iPhone photos about pickup placement - brilliant !

    Swapped my unlined maple fingerboard equipped fretless Lakland 55-02 for Kevins Wal fretless mk I with significant funds going his way (ouch!).

    Kevin was a breeze to deal with and a credit to the forum. No hesitation in recommending him as a top bloke to have bass dealings with.
