Vic Wooten Fodera for me - quite partial to the buckeye top models:
Of course a 'proper' Vic Sig should be flamed maple:
if only they sold one that looked like Vic's original:
Really nice 4 string Flamboyant that sold for just £820.
I nearly went for it just because it was such a bargain but I really don't need another bass at the moment!
If I was going he could have borrowed my Ag500 and DB112's.
Must be someone in Manchester area that could lend him something for the day?
I remember reading about Vic Wooten arriving somewhere and his basses were held in customs. Fodera emailed their dealers and players and came up with a loan bass for him (it was a Fender though I think!).

Barrie.. you have a tonne of 4 strings..

True - but it's always fun to try more, lol.
Ah - the lovely Mill Hill Studios. I've spent many a night rehearsing there with my old 11 piece soul band.
Have they fixed the electrics yet, I seem to remember one of the owners electrocuting himself once!
I've heard great things about Suhr guitars. My guitarist has a pair of Guthrie Govan Signature models that are really nice.
I'm assuming from the first post that you're only interested in 5 string trades?
Wow - had a blast on this at some volume this afternoon, it really is powerful and a bit of tweaking the EQ gives it amazing heft in the lower registers & then loads of snap & sizzle at the top

It says in the tag 'old series from 1999', Barrie

Ah ha - I was reading on an iPhone & the tags are tinier than a very tiny thing indeed!
Really sorry to hear this Darren
Might be worth having a stock list you could mail to people with prices as I think not all the stuff listed on your web site is currently in stock.
Just realised I replied to the wrong thread as this has been relisted recently.
I think it is the one from the Gallery, listed there at £1,800 and I think offered to BC'ers at £1,400.

Thanks Mick but I'm a strictly 4 string guy these days
Back in my hands & back up for sale!
Apologies for the laziness in using an old post but all the details are the same apart from Jon's excellent handiwork.
New fretboard lacquer & refret plus set up by Jon Shuker - looks & plays great

... intriguing Barrie - the first (only other?!) one I recall seeing was in the old 'Bass Cellar' in Denmark St.

Funnily enough because I'd only ever seen one in red I just assumed it was the 'standard' colour, lol.
I'd even been talking about these with Phil at BassGear just the other week and saying that i thought they looked really cool with that white binding.
I seem to remember they were originally made for Mike Rutherford because he wanted a Steinberger but didn't get on with the 'cricket bat' design models.
I remember playing one exactly like this at the old Bass Centre in Wapping.
Really liked it at the time and was very close to buying it - eventually settled on a Kubicki because it just 'worked' better for me at the time (even though it was a fair bit more expensive).
I'd love to have another go on one to see if it's as nice as I remember
Spoke to Phil at BassGear earlier this evening and there are still some tickets going for this.
Given that they are free and it's very rare to get a builder with the class of Jens Ritter over here in London it would be good to see some more BC'ers coming out for the evening
