Thanks Rick and a morning bump from me. Here's more of Herbie (some old pics from Wes, the bass is now wearing Rotosound TruBass black nylon flats, like its inspiration): [attachment=91937:Herbie2.jpg][attachment=91938:Herbie 3.jpg][attachment=91939:Herbie 4.jpg]

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1319392143' post='1413571']You couldn't bloody wait, could you? [/quote] Based on your lot beating mine 8-2, Arsenal will lose 24-8 to Man City! Back on topic, this is a phenomenally powerful and easily manageable cab that someone should snap up

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1319360364' post='1412948']I've played through this cab and it's fantastic. Obviously you can deal with Jack with the upmost of confidence!! Si[/quote] I've also played through this splendid cab but I wouldn't go near Jack with a barge-pole. Kidding! Totally trustworthy dude, but just don't mention the Manchester derby

Here is the build thread, in case this is of interest http://basschat.co.uk/topic/117779-herbie-flowers-jazz-bass-replica/page__hl__herbie__fromsearch__1

The Steed Herbie Flowers Jazz is available again as the buyer has run into issues (nothing to do with the bass, by the way). As noted elsewhere, I am lucky to get my stolen car back but the whole episode will cost me somwhere between one and two grand. Hence this lovely bass is FS. I paid £1400 for the bass as it has £800 of original early '60s Fender parts (listed below). I would like as close as possible to what I paid although I will accept a [u]small[/u] discount as the Fender decal (which was applied to the top of the headstock) has partly scraped away (although this does make it look authentic and it could easily be replaced for a fiver). In-line with the original bass which inspired it, it is wearing chunky black nylon Rotosound TruBass strings on which make it play more like a DB and which have a rich, thick thumping type sound with virtually no treble - as per Walk on the Wild Side, Space Oddity etc (on which the original was played). Its not one for slapping or fast finger funk, unless you swap the strings over. Specs: 61 Tuners + 62 bushings and screws 62 bridge + screws All screws from 60/61 including the neck plate screws String tree 61 with screw 59 thumbrest with screws Fullerton 83 RI jazz stack knobs and early bell plate Hand wired repro harness Suhr Vintage spec handwound pickup Neck from a 62RI Fender Jazz but re-profiled by Wes Weighs 8.77 pounds Picture below is one of Wes' from his build thread and was taken before he applied the headstock decal [attachment=91792:DSCN2065.jpg] I don't have a bass-sized box and I don't want to put Mrs C through waiting in all day for Interparcel pickup so this is meet-up/collected only in London

I read that as 1800 pounds and I think I know what your answer would be (same as mine would be in your shoes)

Some pics from older threads to help this along [attachment=91727:IMG_3388.jpg] [attachment=91728:IMG_3398.jpg]

That a beautiful does-everything-bass Loz! Good luck with the sale. I bet a very large number of BC'ers would like to own this
