Sorry it offends you. I saw it got excited then realised it still had a while to go if anything it points out to others that they are out in the world as they don't come up very often.

Yeah I'm sure they had one like this in the gallery last year.

eBay does occasionally bring up the odd bargain. Still got 9days left though so I'm guessing it will end up near its true value. Item number http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/151695976776?nav=SEARCH

As if Fender had Kahlar make that bridge for them can't think of any good reason why! Even an old badass/star would have been better.

Yeah I'm thinking a may go with the Guild i have found as its almost the same bass i got rid of just need to scrape together the funds (may have to put another bass in the listings on here again) Last in First out as they say.

Thanks. The basses I have been looking at are around 1500 so you are right on that count I don't have much experience with some of the other brands you mentioned and I thought the new gibsons were also 34" scale. I do have an old Hofner verithin but that's not really a giging bass either. I'm guessing I may just have to hurt my wallet a bit more than I had hoped. 😮

I'm looking at a Coronado 11 or the guild which is a single pickup both 30" scale hoping around a grand but the basses I have looked into are more

Hi sorry not a fan of the Jack Casady also not really after a 34" scale length.

I have been struggling with a case of GAS ever since i got rid of a semi bass a couple of years ago! I made the mistake of selling a Guild Starfire bass due to a slight issue when playing live with the bass where the strings would pop off the wooden bridge (even after cutting deeper groves in the saddles). Now my problem is i loved the tone of that bass so much and I have been hunting for another to fill the void even narrowed it down to a couple of options a Fender Coronado 11 (not the reissue the single coil go bass) or another guild but a very expense limited edition with a metal saddles not the wooden of the OG or reissue. Im still open to other choices but i don't really know what to do. HELP PLEASE!!!

The pick of the bottom of the neck/date stamp doesn't even look like the same neck more rosewood fretboard or something that looks like bark or leather.

Could be a nice resto if it was about 2500 cheaper

Was trawling eBay again trying to cure a case of Gas when I stumbled across this monster! Looking at the bridge alone gives me back ache http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/351193325179?nav=SEARCH

Looking very very nice. Could go for one like this myself.

Just completed a trade with Carlos and it could not of been any easier. It is the first time I have posted abroad and it went smoothly mostly due to Carlos and his guidance,he is a very helpful and honest person to deal with. Could not be happier and as I said if I'm ever in Barcalona I ow him a beer!

Followed this is going to be great!

Here's a quick photo. Had to break out the single malt it was that good.

So I missed a package this morning and my inner child told me to make the 45minute trip after work to collect it before the UPS depot closed. It was worth giving in to that voice. A few years ago I had a Sei flamboyant 5string fretless that I really regret letting go it had a punchy tone that I have struggled to get. Now I could of found another Sei but I have choosen a different path and after the initial noodle I think it's looking like a good choice. The newcomer is a bass that as far as I can gather is well known on here an Everson 4string fretless. So far I'm really pleased it's really easy to play and has great punchy tone. Can't wait to explore it some more!

The grain already looks great once you get your carve on its going to be stunning.

I'm going to try and keep it under wraps a bit longer but they will have custom coil taps

Big and exciting news i have chosen the pickups for the build and ordered them! They are special indeed.
