    Absolutely lovely - these are fantastic instruments! The problem with the bags really does need to be addressed. I managed to remove marks on my blue matt finish with very careful application of nail varnish remover (try it on a concealed part of the finish first!) Worked very well when applied with cotton pads. I now wrap the neck in a polishing cloth before using the neck retaining strap. I'd take this but I'm not a five-player either - bump!

    What a really, lovely, unfussy and classic bass - I know very little of GMR but will find out more - in one image (front of headstock), there's a bass behind the sale instrument - another GMR? Bump - this is the first bass that has caught my attention for a while

    Absolutely love this bass but realistically more than I can spend too Love scrumpymike's mod too - would love something like this for an Alembic Brown Bass if anybody has far better design and fabrication skills than myself! Bump - rare and desirable

    The plate is now on order from SIMS - I'll get some images up when it arrives - thanks all for the suggestions and help!

    Wow, lovely!

    Hi Gary, lovely tone. I'm assuming that the top cab in the image is the one for sale (bottom is the extension?) and that the dolly fits to the top cab. Is this correct? Cheers.

    Try a large Hiscox bass case - there's one in the ads at £50 at the moment. They'll fit a Ripper so you should be ok

    beautiful basses - incredibly light and playable - and ergonomically superb. I'm looking forward to seeing this one (and hoping it's a 32" with bendwell and 16.5 spacing!)

    Hi all, thanks for the advice - I've been working away so no decisions yet. Cheers, L

    If you're considering investing a major wedge, the Spector Shorty is likely to be of interest - dark punch and superbly designed and playable. If you're considering parting with an obscene wedge, an Alembic brown bass punches like little else. Balance is weird but construction and tone are incomparable

    Brilliant - thanks all, I think I'm getting there! Cheers!

    Ahh, maybe - think I bought them on bc ages ago but can't remember. Thank you! Any other opinions? Cheers!

    Hi all, can anybody assist with identification of strings in the image - they're DBE on a Status - light gauge and feel like nickel but could be SS. The silks are purple-blue. Lovely strings indeed - possibly Status hot wires but I didn't think these were silked? Any opinions gratefully received

    Gentlemen, thanks very much for this information - very useful indeed! I live fairly close to Manchester and have heard good things about Jack. I've also seen some of Sims work - amazing finishes. Very good advice, I'll pick this up - cheers!

    Hi all, I have a 60 'CS P with a nice plate but it's just not quite right. Does anybody know of a source of excellent quality celluloid type scratchplates (with that lovely early '60s look)? I've had a Spitfire in the past and they're beautiful but massively expensive (£200+). I'd rather avoid the spitfire route if I can find something of near quality at a reasonable price. Thanks in advance for any advice

    Almost identical to my old CS - beautiful! Incredible price IMO

    So... Wal, eh?

    three replied to mcnach's topic in Bass Guitars

    I've played loads and owned two or three (a Mk2 and Mk3 at least - ridiculous that I can't remember). They're a bass that I've always wanted to love, then when I get one, I don't. I used to play a lot of the Pro models (I lived near the distributor) and remember a pronounced v profile to the neck - I liked it a lot, many years ago, maybe not so much now. Possibly my technique, but I manage to make Wals sound much thinner than they sound in my memory.

    I use an Amp One - the AER range is totally different to any other combo that I've used - tone, power, dynamics and depth are astounding - fantastic price IMO!

    Louder, better looking, better tone, and lighter than an SVT (all IMO of course). When I walk into a venue and see one of these, I'm usually in for a treat. I'm fortunate to own a very high-end D but it will never sound like one of these

    Thanks for the comments on colour - on reflection, this could be cobalt blue (a colour that I think Christian has used in the past). The board is lovely - do you know if its Rio rosewood?

    I've owned a good number of Celinders over the years - the best J's available IMO (and I've tried pretty much everything). Is this LPB (and can you comment on condition?) I'm not sure that Christian is still building - too many difficulties In the past decade

    Ahh, this was mine - I remember selling it to the US a few years ago. Nice top, don't remember any problems with the wiring. Sold it very cheaply by current standards (but made a few bob) and it's replacement made it worth it. First saw this in the Gallery then it popped up a few years later - board was massively too wide for me, but nice to have tried. Very even across the board, accurate, detailed tone. All this was before the Fodera story took off. Very nice bass for a collector or player - really nice chestnut, though the flux pattern wasn't my favourite of Fodera's early stock. Sounds nuts, but probably a bit of a bargain! Good luck - will probably fly out!

    Hi Alan, can you let us know where pick up would be?
  24. three
    Wow, what a very beautiful bass!

    Thanks, if these are the US version, they are extremely impressive!
