Total Watts

  1. Had the pre Cort version, the Tanglewwod Curbow in deep red finish with Mighty Mite pickup and also a Tanglewood Canyon 3 fretless which used the same body shape. Always had a soft spot for them too
  2. Best playing passive jazz bass I've owned was a transluscent white 44-60 with plek'd neck. Such a superb feeling/playing bass. I also owned a 55-60 Custom which was a bit special also. fwiw I've never had a Lakland Skyline that was less than hugely impressive
  3. They stay at home now but I like them far too much to sell them.
  4. My new to me SR2605 in Cerulean Blue burst
  5. My moonlight blue P34. Did have a 735a and was after a P35 but as is the way of things, I ended up with the 4 string. No complaints. Great bass! 8
  6. I would have preferred the Z3 to the Z7 I had. The Z3 has the straight ahead 3EQ and no neck pickup to get in the way. I like the popsicle blue colour best but I'd have one of the sparkle finishes too.
  7. Love my John Taylor 5 in black. The Neve preamp is super sounding and the passive tone control is full of goodness. Such a great bass!!
  8. My old bass which I owned just short of three years. The Sledge colour is a proper chameleon and goes like this in direct sunlight or under stage lights.... As far as I know this is the only officially imported rosewood board Sledge Sabre imported by the official UK distributor. Also Robert is a top basschatter and straight up guy. GLWTS! Keir
  9. The 55-60 I had was a fantastic bass - I bought it from Paddy777 on here with an East J Retro preamp but once that was out the bass seemed better for it imo (limitations on the J Retro in passive mode being the main reason) I doubt I've had a bass action that went any lower and played rattle free. (iirc either Plek'd at the factory or at set up/QC in Chicago - not sure which) It was a fantastic neck on the 55-60 - more traditional profile than the Sadowsky Metro Express 1st gens I had which were flatter at the back. The width on the Sadowsky 5 necks the further you go up always niggled me a bit as well. I like the Sadowsky tone for the amount of boost available but the lack of passive tone control became an issue for me as well. I cant speak about the gen 2 basses as I haven't owned one but I would wholeheartedly recommend a 55-60. They are lovely jazz basses imo. Also for what its worth I would say try a Cort NJS5. Beautifully balanced output and tone across the neck and really special basses for the money they go for.
  10. I have two Sabre Classic pickguards for sale. These are for the 2013-2016 reissues. Not sure whether they will fit a pre EB or 80's EB Sabre. Blue abalone, ordered from Armstrong guitars. I think this was on the cusp of them stopping using WD as there was a delay in getting it when they switched supplier Blue mirror is from Pickguards.com/WD Both have a bit of playwear but perfectly usable £35 the pair + postage

  11. Some of you will have seen this on the ACG pages - my RSK 5/35. Picked it up from Alan in September after a 7/8 months build time from the deposit going down. I enjoyed the whole process of spec'ing my own bass - I specifically asked for the pickups to be pulled back towards the bridge and a little closer together and I'm pleased how that turned out. Still getting used to the wildly capable filter preamp! Definitely an experience I'm looking to repeat 🙂
  12. The Grafts are superb! fwiw my 'frostbite' finished Graft 5 has such strong sounding pickups - the bridge pickup tone is one of the very best I've ever had for that midrange percussive honk/burp/whatever you want to call it 😍
  13. I think I may have played this bass when picking up one of my ACGs from Alan. There was also a lovely green Graft Plus 5 string there that day as well. Fantastic looking Graft you have - I think this colour is called Purgatory iirc
  14. I know what you mean. It is a pale blue but most pics make it look bordering on white. This was my bass outside in natural light which, from memory, is a fairly true representation of the colour.
