  1. Very nice looking bass, great addition to your set too. And with a name like Natasha, how much sweeter can you get? [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Enjoy your lovely new P Bass![/size]
  2. The only bass I ever regretted selling was a '78 Sabre. The tone was outstanding and recorded beautifully. Molan is spot on about the necks though, mine was very twisted and needed a slightly higher action, but it was worth it for the tone!
  3. Frets are in good health, comes with Hiscox case.
  4. That's great, enjoy the gigs! I'm a convert to light basses with decent wood too, I recently got 7.5lb Fender with a swamp ash body, no going back now!
  5. Lovely, sweet grain too [size=4] [/size]
  6. I just saw a Modulus Flea sell for $4000 on eBay USA this morning, that's £2400! Ok, it had the Lane Poor pickup and the Flea logo on the head, but $4000???? I'm wondering if this is a one off or if the prices have now finally gone up due to Modulus being bankrupt? Time will tell. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Modulus-Flea-Bass-4-String-Lane-Poor-Pickups-/161259924287
  7. Replied to PM above, sadly no trade deal to be done as cash is prefered
  8. These covers have been aged to appear old and reliced. The pickup cover has a screw hole spacing of approx 115-117mm. Please check the spacing on your bass! The bridge cover requires two non standard screws, which are included. These screws are slightly fatter then the regular ones and have a flat head screwdriver head. Sent 'signed for' 1st class delivery. Cheers! LINK TO PICTURES - [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ovlk1twlmk4ouej/QY0EkhgBrv"]https://www.dropbox....ouej/QY0EkhgBrv[/url]
  9. [quote name='louseskaman' timestamp='1396053681' post='2409593'] oh my ..........absolutely stunning!!!!! GLWTS [/quote] Cheers Paul, even better in the 'flesh'! [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1396055996' post='2409603'] WOW. i remember Marcus Mlller playing a 57 live on a vid, and it sounded so cool. [/quote] Thanks, sure sounds cool when I play it too, though that's more down to the bass than my playing!
  10. [quote name='Mark_88MPH' timestamp='1396084404' post='2409712'] Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Seriously can't wait to get it [/quote] Enjoy your new bass mate, looking forward to seeing pictures
  11. [quote name='Mark_88MPH' timestamp='1396079308' post='2409650'] I'll give a big clue, Buck and a half [/quote] Gibson G3!!! A buck and a half = all the pickups on i think Very nice bass
  12. Very cool bass, slab board too!
  13. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1395907634' post='2407715'] My YOB bass, right there! [/quote] This one was born in May [size=4] [/size] [size=4] [/size][size=4]I once had a lovely Autumnglo 4001 that was my month and year of birth, shame I got rid of it all those years back. [/size]
  14. Amazing how we often [size=4]think the worst of people, sign of the times.[/size] The guy has added the serial number so it's obvious what it is now.
  15. [quote name='paulflan0151' timestamp='1395490755' post='2402976'] Awesome bass. Does this Clive Brown have a web site? [/quote] Not that I've ever been aware of. You can PM me for his email.
  16. [quote name='JonnyM' timestamp='1395483021' post='2402883'] Just to chime in here, I had an Oly white '61 Jazz bass with the body refinished by Clive Brown and it fooled a guy who is a vintage Jazz expert! GLWTS! [/quote] Haha, great story! Sadly, it won't be the first or last story like this. But Clive really is that good and makes them look absolutely spot on. For example, Clive was telling me that due to the way Fender stained the wood differently in the 50's and 60's the 50's Fender's don't fade as much under the pickguard as the 60's ones so he makes the colour less faded on 50's ones, like this bass. Every detail is accounted for, what a legend and a genius!
  17. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1395421242' post='2402319'] Aren't they capped at £75 ? [/quote] I think the eBay seller fee is capped, but the PayPal is 3.4% (+20p!) I think. [size=4] [/size]
  18. [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1395413299' post='2402199'] What a beauty. Get some sound clips up. I'd love to hear it. [/quote] Cheers Sam, but sound clips? Far too tech for me my man. How would I get the sound onto my record player? [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Check this out though.......[/size][size=4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4ucLZabFcw[/size]
  19. [quote name='davedave' timestamp='1395415410' post='2402228'] Oof! That's a stunning bass mate. Back to the top for you. How deep is the neck out of interest? [/quote] Cheers pal. It's a deep neck, nice and chunky and it sits in the hand absolutely perfectly. From others I've played, it appears that the necks on these got thinner a few months after this one was made. These are like the ones on the 1955 Custom Shop models if you've ever played one.
  20. Killer colour is Midnight Blue, but the fingerboard was the knock out punch for me, stunning!
