i had some EMG JV jazz pickups (the ones with the polepieces) very warm sound with a pronounced midrange, i believe modulus used them for their jazz basses, not sure if his has the EMG,S but bubinga 5 has one, and i think nordstrand do a darker sounding jazz pickup

How do you know they are doing them in mint green???[/quote] i went on their website and it showed them in both colours, anyone have any idea howmuch these are going to be, i think ill have to buy one of each and swap the necks round, and poss defet the RW one, mint green with a maple neck i have to have one (£1600 for the proper one is never going to happen for me) mind you if your going to need to get a nordstrand(fantastic by the way, my old sterling had one) and an east you may as well buy a full on ray classic.!!

I have my eye on one of his white spectors and the black jackson kip winger!!!

Ive been boiling for as long as ive been playing (20years) a guy at college who played keys and basstold me about it, ive always used a bit of washing up liquid (smells nicer than vinegar, i even have a seperate pan for boiling dont want to use my circulons ) and quite early on i decided to use strings which didnt have windings (d,addarios or DR,s) as the silk always perishes works a treat but not for long, ive never heard of the oven thing i will try it!!! mind you im going to put some fresh high beams on my spector for a rock gig tomorrow night, YUMMY!!!

Id still love to see the nathen east 2 in the aqua colour with a quilted top like the original, i think that would be very special!!!

And they do it in mint green too fantastic, ive been lusting after a MG classic ray since they came out, but alas nearly 2k is not going to be available to me anytime soon !! so the ray34ca might be a viable option, a shame the green one doesnt have a maple board though i really would be foaming at the mouth!!! HA HA geddit foaming!!!

Lovely Bass!! buying vintage is not for me though!! im sure itll be a sound investment as these things will continue to appreciate in value over the years,( i wonder modern fenders will over the next 30 years, probably not!! ) which i think is a shame as they were made to played but i bet a lot end up in safes or sat in cases, what a waste!!! all of my favourite tones come from vintage fenders but if i had 8k to spend on a bass i want to see nice woods and state of the art electronics, i,d go for a nice fodera or a ken smith or alembic and im sure bernie goodfellow could make something very special for a lot less than 8k wether they will have the same allure in 30/40 years i dont know. Ill wait till i win the lottery and ill get one when 8k is just loose change

really really love it. i played a fretless Rim at the manchester bass day a couple of years ago, and had a lovely chat with robbie, a fantastic fellow and the bass was amazing, id never heard of them before, the headstock is very striking and i can see myself with a 5 string semi hollow version, great design!!

Hard to pick 5 as ive so many, but the ones that changed my perception of the instrument and whose lines inspire me to this day have to be 1- Abraham Laboriel - fantastic feel always a great authentic tone and technique in abundance and -never has to prove it 2- Louis Johnson- he is the man for me for slap bass, not a million notes just funky rythmic grooves and a tone to die for 3- Will Lee - just love his feel,tone and note choices a very funky man, his early playing is how a fender jazz should sound!! 4 - Jaco pastorious- we all owe him a great debt for setting the bar so high, a true genious 5- Chuck Rainey - when i first heard "greenflower street" it changed my life and everything else he,s done is just sublime TBH still a million other players to mention , he,s not on the list but when i first saw a picture of gene simmons with a pedulla bass that was the moment i knew i wanted to play bass, at the same time i saw Stanley Clarke and i realised thats HOW!!!! I wanted to play bass, that was 20 years ago and im still nowhere near great thread!!!
