Black Coffee

This is a really lovely bass.

Fanfrets are an addition to the playing experience and shouldn't be feared.

Have a bump . . . . . . . . .

MM mmmmmmmm . . . . .
Gorgeous top on that.

This is gorgeous.

Lovely.
Have a free bump

Pm'd

Bump

Clover is a real looker. Harder to replace than a jazz is to buy and try.
Try a jazz and sell what you play least.

Gorgeous. . . .

Thanks swanbrook.
Circumstances kinda forcing sale. If i had any spare cash it wud be going nowhere.

Everything is only worth wot somebody will pay for it.
I have a feeling it might be relisted. Several times...........
At that price you could nearly buy a second hand custom shop five string bass from fender. I actually paid £1,600 for my four string custom shop fender about three years ago.
Its too dear.

Have a bump as i browse.

This is a lovely specimen. Shame its not a five str.....

Play what you've got and stop looking at stuff you don't need (and perhaps won't even want quite soon after you buy it).

As my old man used to say: 'it's only another way of getting your money off you'.

This is sound advice but grass always looks greener to me elsewhere.
On reflection I fear i may have been a little harsh on my missus here as she is always supportive after i justify how i intend to fund the buy and provided she likes the colour as it invariably may be stored on a stand at some point in her house.
I intended this as a bit of humour as she does kinda do the whole one out one in thing along with the rest but generally is good with it.

As for brussel sprouts as mentioned by discreet above. Sorry dude its bbq beans maybe.

... It's always a bad idea to let a woman know how much money you have, especially if they're your ex!

Been there. Glad she's gone. Never had money anyway cuz I drank all I earned back then. Better being dry.

Same thing for your kids...... designer labels are nearly as expensive as bass gear.
Does Jack Wills do a single cut in bubinga ???

Every bassist needs a person to reign them in when GAS takes over. I have to admit that if I was left to my own devices Id probably be bankrupt and living on the street in a cardboard box but would have more bass gear than I could play in 5 lifetimes.

I have my very own little voice in my ear as I am contemplating and browsing which sounds like this,

"One out - one in"

OR

"Have you got the money for that ? dear......"

OR

"Not in this lifetime sunshine"


Whats the best GAS stopping policy on basschat ?

I had the sparkly orange BB415 and it was the mutts nutts.
This is tempting.

MMmm..

What would interest you in a trade ?

Might have to do this with mine. If i ever get round to it i will report back.

Needs another string, do fiver asats exist?
[/quote]

Never seen one. But it doesnt mean they dont exist.

Now. That would be a bass worth buying.

Sparkly red colour, couldn't help wondering where Id seen it before then I remembered.
Dorothys slippers in Wizard of Oz.

Class bass. Real expensive.

I have an ABII fiver and had tuned to low A for a bit but I had to bring it up again cuz I couldn't stop playin it.
Sounds incredible. And yes; more useful than low B.
Pining after a Lee Sklar sig model. Dont care what colour. Would sell car, TV, and other basses, family pet etc if it would finance it.
I wonder what a F# string would sound like on a Dingwall? Crazy idea here - drop tune it like you would for a B string to low A and you would have a super low E?
mmmmm.

Can we go with four but agree we need the fiver model as an option?

What year is your mike lull?
It looks real nice.

Ive owned two of these and they are top class. The fanfrets make it easier to play and the sound and craftmanship are excellent. I bought both mine from mark at bass direct without trying them as i live in Northern ireland. No regrets. In fact im saving and workin towards movin up the range.
Take the plunge. You wont regret it.

Interesting, but I love my Midnight Blue.

Anyone played a Rick 4003 FL ?
[/quote]
My first ric was a 4003 FL. Major disappointment as my mim jazz fretless was more playable. It was the start of an expensive journey to discover that ric and i didnt get on.
Gorgeous to look at. Not for me to play though.
