    I'll accept any reasonable offers around £1000.

    I like the way this bass is so divisive.
  3. Mike
    I'd love this. But I supposed you don't want a 1968 modded fretless Fender Jazz?

    Your name is Laurence Blackadder? That's absolutely magnificent! If I can I will check out the CD when I have a little more time. I just read the blurb on CDBaby and nearly fell off my chair in delight when I saw your name. I've seen your name "Bassadder" about recently and liked it very much. Regards Mike

    Have you tried sitting down with a recording and transcribing it by ear? It takes a little longer but you'll feel better, it'll most likely be more accurate than 90% of tabs out there, and it will develop your ear.

    [quote name='Jase' post='380892' date='Jan 15 2009, 12:33 AM']Looks a fine bass Mike, nice, comfy and worn. Looks a fine job on the ebony board.[/quote] Cheers Jase - it really is. I think the neck is one of the nicest parts of it. And thanks Josh! Any other questions let me know!

    Check out MarloweDK's version of it on youtube. Better doing it by ear, at least, than tab! Unless you have a really tight schedule to learn it or something. I was playing this with my functions group tonight.

    Let me weigh in here and say that "apoonian" (Andy) is a great guy and fantastic player, hope he sticks around!

    Apparently the only one apart from Tye Zamoras' [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fender-custom-shop-6-string-bass_W0QQitemZ290288887950QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item290288887950&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]Link[/url] Interesting!

    Who else thinks Mr Beedster was selling these?
  12. Mike
    Yes! I would be most interested! It would be a great contribution to basschat. I would sacrifice 100 Talkbassians in your honour!
  13. Mike
    Bah! Read through the whole thread with the intention of getting on board, only to hear the bad news at the end. Never mind. I would have wanted a ticket, but fair enough. I was also going to suggest that our favourite Warwick Vampyre seller draw the raffle :ph34r:
  14. Mike
    Okay, a price. I was thinking £1100 or so. Open to offers on that.

    I found Joshua Redman's "Jazz Crimes" a bit of a nightmare to learn - even though it's in 4/4/, it's tough to count. I've got it down now though, but there's no sitting around being complacent, gotta count hard! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ICJUFOJa2g"]Jazz Crimes[/url]

    PMs replied. Genuinely open to offers, it's not a trick!

    I'm selling a 68 jazz folks.......oh, and have a bump!
  18. Mike
    Sod that. Archaic and anachronistic! And ridiculous during these economic times. I got, to my eyes, a really wonderful, beautiful engagement ring for around £1400. I paid just over £1000 as I knew someone GOOD LUCK! You won't regret it!
  19. Mike
    Cool!
  20. Mike
    Okay, should I disregard our brief chat in the 68 Jazz thread? Cheers Mike PS Get a nice "forever" diamond engagement ring - H Samuals, really beautiful.

  23. Mike
    Those imagecave swine! I'll try to sort it
  24. Mike
    Thanks everyone! Diezeonze - the 33" scale is why I'm interested in your L.Kah bass! Al - I know 35" is accepted as being better for 5 strings. But in my research, a lot of people put their faith in the skill of the luthier to get it right. I see a few top pros using 33" on 5 or 6 strings. Jon has done a great job with the low B, it's very firm and sounds great. I'll see if I can grab any more pictures. Joe - I think Jon is making some really special basses right now.
