    That looks really lovely - a very impressive build from some great parts - I'm a big fan of bolt inserts for neck joints. It's too heavy for me (by some distance) but a lovely looking instrument indeed!

    Show us your rig!

    Superb rig and fabulous with the six string I’d imagine. My favourite pre but interesting to hear how you get on with the power amp. I’m on my third (stereo 250) and find that they impart some harmonic colour, a kind of fine grit. Musical but a bit unexpected - I tend to use my pre through the back end of a db750 where complete cleanliness is required. I hope that you have sound floors. A very substantial stack (and if you need to add a few pounds, I think that Thomann still have a few of the Warwick dedicated 3u cases). Lovely to see the complete set - stunning!

    I know that some UK and European Basschat members bought cabs in the Thomman blow out a couple of years ago. I've used the preamp and amps and they're superb. The pre is my favourite of all that I've used. The amps are incredibly well built and the philosophy behind their conception and execution appears very robust. I'd hope that the quality is carried through into the construction and performance of the cabs.

    Absolutely beautiful - Jon's work is of the highest quality and this particular bass looks stunning. One of the more pleasing and well-executed takes on the singlecut idea IMO

    This is a giveaway in my opinion. These are some of finest Fender-types available - the only F-type basses that I've played that are in the same league have been Celinders, though US Laklands have a very special feel, especially the neck (I prefer this to Celinder). Laklands have some of the dimensions and feel of the very best of very old Fenders to me - plus, there's much reduced risk - not all very old Fenders are very good Fenders in my experience. I have absolutely no need for this (I have a Lakland P) though I'd dearly love it

    Gorgeous - a relatively early one and in fantastic condition. I've been playing these since 1979

    The DB750 has tubes (3 in the pre) but the Hellborg doesn’t have any. Weirdly, the Hellborg power amp weighs almost exactly the same as. DB750 on its own - nuts!

    Agi DB750 and Warwick Hellborg. Though heavier than many valve amps

    Clarky - definitely one of the coolest (if not the coolest) Alembic I've seen

    Superb valve pre - indeed, my favourite (I prefer these to Noble, and I really like the latter!) That said, unlike most players (I think) I discovered that I prefer SS pres. Still miss my 680 in some ways - just such a cool industrial aesthetic

    Mine was an unusual hybrid - P body with twin humbuckers (I don't want to derail the thread with an image but this probably only serves as testament to the quality of Chris' work) and bump for this staggering Charcoal Frost! E725A856-AE7E-4A12-8D7B-13BEA6E1AC94.heic

    It's in Scotland at the moment (with my brother) but as soon as we're allowed to congregate, you'd be very welcome indeed - it's been far too long. Winter in the pennine foothills is such a lovely time... (as you'll know!)

    Me too on this - such a classy look (and the headstock facing looks gorgeous!)

    Ah, Chris's signature dense foam trick with the Hiscox case - something I've emulated recently. What a staggering bass. I recently had a custom hybrid P from Chris - a 2018 model. Outstanding in every way and gloriously executed - the attention to detail was world class. This J looks just the same and a gorgeous finish. For me, Overwaters are up there with the very best of British luthiery. Sad to hear of the retirement though - I hope that you'll return one day!

    wow, stunner - I think we need a lot more images of this. Absolutely love it - very cool indeed! If you need a new logo for the bridge pickup cover, I may be able to help out!

    Hahaha, sorry Mike - I did mean short-scale (it had been a long week!) but I’m sure you’re being far too modest!

    Just received a beautiful fretless from Mike - perfectly packed and exactly as described - mint. It's also a lovely player with a gorgeous, surprisingly versatile tonal palette (especially for a singly pickup, passive bass). Communications throughout were perfect and it was great to chat with one of Basschat's most avid fretless players. Deal in confidence, a star in Basschat's firmament

    Sorry to hear this Steve - I had a real concern this would happen but still very interested to hear what you think when this eventually arrives

    I’m not a valve user at all, though great to see such a lovely boutique UK product - elegant simplicity
  22. three
    Me too! I might do even now. It looks like its pictured in a storage facility. Unfortunately, that's what I'd need to do with it too. Probably not a great idea but I'd love this and what a bargain (IMO, of course)

    You’re always very welcome. Beautiful bass with some serious provenance and history. Gorgeous burst too (and those Status J necks are out if this world!)

    An exceptionally cool bass - I like this a lot and the 2TS really suits the body shape in my view

    Lovely basses, impressive woodworking, fit and finish. They actually do a pretty good impression of classic Alembic tones. This looks to be in good condition for its age - pretty rare too
