[quote name='YouMa' post='407238' date='Feb 12 2009, 02:55 AM']How did you get on with the john craven JJTee, I was going to stick some wizards in there to really get his vintage newscaster thump going. I gigged the bullitt baxter last night and he had a beautiful fast neck. Regards ,mark.[/quote]
Mark, I can't thank you enough for the Craven - he really is superb: full bottom, warm mids and a nice zing in the upper register. A quality piece of kit. I think I'll keep the original pick-ups, unless some late 70's Swap Shop p-bass ones pop up on Ebay. The original Newsround hardcase is a work of art in itself - so much nice than the cheaper re-issue Countryfile softcases you see for sale.
As for the Johnny Morris offer - I am tempted. But I would prefer a fretless, as I already have the fretted Terry Nutkins as part of my Animal Magic collection.
£1.69 for Stilgoe?! Come on Ben, you know he's worth WAY more than that!
