Can I ask a favour?  Everyone who attends needs to have a sticker on them so we know who you are!

The guys on the 'front desk' have usually done this in the past for when folks arrive. (I'm not sure, but there may even be some Basschat lanyards on sale?  )

Woohoo! Colour me 'in'! 👍😎👍

A couple of early Classics:

 

In October 2009, EBMM introduced the new Classic Series at Bass Player Live. Five instruments were on display, finished in Surf Green, Shell Pink, Sonic Blue, Trans White and Fiesta Red.

Here are two from that first edition:

B050501 (Surf Green) and B050505 (Fiesta Red)

For the regular production run, the colours were renamed Mint Green and Coral Red.

[Nice weight on the Surf Green - 8.9 lbs.]

 

 

 

March of the killer necks! 👍😎👍

New pick guard day

Tortoise or Aged Pearl?

 

 

Pearl's a winner! 😊

Nice job and, given the upgrades, a very nice price! GLWTS.  

Lovely. A true modern classic. GLWTS. 👍

Fender's Rumble series is excellent and that's a great price for something that looks pretty much mint. GLWTS.

… and a new Pearl pickguard for the Cruz teal boy… Personally I think this is a much better fit than regular white:

 

 

Perfick! 👍😎👍

Ooh, but for the extra Piezo control, I have to say that looks a little familiar!  

Lovely bass - GLWTS 👍👍

Well, all being well - this arrives tomorrow.

 

June 1993 SR5

 

Teal - not 100% sure on pickguard, I’ve bought a black one in preparation.

 

It’s had a life. Hopefully it will have another with me. See if my five string playing “skills” still exist…

Much as I do like my white pearl guards, I must admit something on the dark side might just be more suitable. Either way, it looks a beauty. 👍👍

In my very, very, early days I briefly had a Jedson bass, so when I saw the header for your ad I had a vision of something loosely based on my old short scale Telecaster-type thing!

However, what you have here is light years ahead of that - it looks absolutely great. And in such good condition, complete with the chrome trim case. A real blast from the past. GLWTS. 👍

Holy flippin' moly, @walshy, this for me would be the perfect pairing with my SR5. Same year. Same colour. Lovely Maple neck (though I have to say the figuring on yours is loads better than mine).

Now if I just had the funds... ah, well.... just as well it's on hold! 😉🙂😍

GLWTS.

In it's basic form, this is a lovely bass, but with those upgrades... look out!! 👍👍

GLWTS.

Mmmm, black and maple. Nice!  

GLWTS.

Be still my beating heart!

The necks on the classics are insanely pretty.

Great catch, Andy. And, yes, that neck is to die for!  

(Sorry, duplicate post due to Submit button not working - or so I thought!)

Love it! Seriously, if I didn't already have mine..... - but I'll certainly vouch for the quality. And that Birdseye Maple neck/headstock is gorgeous. GLWTS.  

This old girl is 32 today! 👍😎👍

Apologies for the slight OT-ness, but here's some shots I took while working on the doc.

 

Excellent photos, WoT. I did see your original post about the Alan Hull doc and made a note to watch. Then, on the day, I had to go out (5od's law!) and didn't set to record (aaargh). So thank heaven for BBC iPlayer! I finally had a chance to watch it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very insightful and quite moving in part. I had the vinyl albums, Nicely Out Of Tune and Fog On The Tyne plus Alan's first solo album, Pipedream (which was also one of my favourite album covers). I really need to get those back into my collection!

It also brought back fond memories of playing 'up north'. Through most of the 1980's I was a member of an Essex-based Country band and we played many Country music clubs and festivals around the UK. We had one agent based in Middlesbrough who would organize 7- and 10-day tours for the band in the North-East and we played many of the clubs in the region (South Shields, Sunderland, Guisborough, M'bro, etc.).
One night we were booked to play 3 sets at a club and during the first break a guy came up to chat with us 'soft Southerners'. We had a good old chat and as we were heading back on stage he said quickly, "I bet you lads don't know a song by Lindisfarne called 'Run For Home'?". Our guitarist (who was a Scottish fellah from The Borders) smiled and looked at the rest of us. Although it wasn't in the set that night, we opened the 2nd set with it. I don't think we paid for any more drinks that night.

@Stingray5 Thanks - I've got two notifications, one from Landmarq and one from one of your channels, and followed back both.

To reply to your question, the screenshot I posted earlier, before my last post, was from Studio - Customization - Basic Info. It still shows the same (lack of) options.

Ah, thanks for the follow-back and my apologies, I should've looked closer at your last post 🙄🙂
