    Cellists and Double Bass players read Bass Clef, Tenor Clef and Treble Clef. So, maybe the T-shirt is for those who play at the dusty end? As for the three string bass with five tuners... Damn those creative artists!

    That looks lovely. Congratulations! The FSR Jazzes are usually very special. I've got a hand stained Ash 2012 FSR Jazz which is also definitely a keeper. They're often mistaken for Guitar Center specials etc, but there's always something about a good FSR instrument. Dark Night finish is my favourite on the American Professional II as well. Enjoy your new Bass

    My preference has always been the Thomastik Jazz Flats of the 43-100 variety. I like the low tension, as you can actually bend them and play dynamically. They feel a quite similar tension to the Elixir 40-95 set I have on the American Performer Mustang. I just put the Thomastik set on my Vintera II Mustang, as the previous owner had put the usual LaBella DTFs on, which just killed all of its character and sound - the LaBella E-string was previously sending the tone into a deep pit of durge and despair!

    TC Electronic Vortex Flanger Mini with power adaptor and original packaging. If I remember rightly, this has the Mark King 'Sweet Minger' Tone Print onboard. Excellent condition, barely used. £50 inc postage to anywhere in the UK or Ireland.

    I thought Pino always used Thomastik Jazz Flats? (which are expensive enough as it is!)

    Very nice. Len. I saw this had sold on the classifieds. They're great basses for a relatively bargain price. Congrats

    Congrats Mark. Having held this bass and played it a little (albeit in a supermarket car park!), I can attest to it being a beauty. These are getting very rare now and are a special part of 90's British Bass Making history. Enjoy!

    Right. I think I've figured out what these are now. The base instruments were by BaCH in the Czech Republic. Ox Bird is a luthier from Poland who specialises in customising basses.

    I know that bass - it was originally owned from new by an adult pupil of mine in the Teweksbury area. It's a stunner of a bass. I had the natural one around the same time. They're a real Swiss army knife of a bass, these Sabres. Amazing Precision sound from the front humbucker too. Best of luck with the sale!

    Thinking about it, I also bought my first two basses there - A Columbus Charvel copy and then a Hohner Jack Professional while I was at college.
  13. HeadlessBassist
    Yes, it was called Charles Foulds and Son on Irongate in Derby. I bought my first Cello there.

    One trip to Edinburgh later... Okay, I'm still on my way back! Gotta love Competition Burgundy. Thanks Dave!

    Wow Andy. That looks amazing. You'd better apply to run the European Marketing Dept of SoloKing.
  16. HeadlessBassist
    Yes, I have to say that my trip to visit Will at Bass Bros was well worth it. The most expensive trip of it's kind [ever], but definitely worth it.
  17. HeadlessBassist
    Yes, I was thinking it all looks like nice enough hardware, but not £800 worth.
