    [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1480965842' post='3188516'] Can anyone let me know Adrian,s Email address.? I'm after a pickguard for my Elwood 5. [/quote] If you go onto the 'contact' section of the public-peace.de website, there's a link to 'info@' which goes direct to Adrian.

    Well posted! There's rarely a day goes by without me celebrating the good bass stuff I'm lucky enough to own. No Warwicks but that's not the point - mind you, maybe after 50 years of playing it's about time I tried one

    Love the Spector Shorty!

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1473012823' post='3126055'] Really nice bass. I'm surprised this hasn't had much attention. [/quote] [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1473012954' post='3126058'] Same here, I think it looks great if only it had 5 strings. [/quote] Especially in view of the big Marra following on here (me included). Right number of strings but wrong scale length for me.

    Bugger! Talked myself out of taking part in the auction on the assumption that there'd be the usual flood of bids jacking the price up in the dying minutes. Guess what - the second bidder (from yesterday) got it for £64!!

    [quote name='grandad' timestamp='1480765064' post='3186957'] I began my bass playing with 34's, Precision, Jazz, Speakeasy, etc. I've enjoyed trying out numerous makes and models. All 4 stringers. Since about 3 years I have only short and medium scale instruments. Here's a good read regarding the merits of a shorter scale.

    Just fired off an e-mail asking Adrian if he's exhibiting at the London Bass Show in March. Here's his reply: [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hello, [/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I don't know, maybe. Write to the organization you will see me at the stage. Greetings Adrian[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Can anyone more familiar with the show tell me what he means?[/font]

    Don't apologise solo - you're absolutely right! My body's suffered from 5 decades of bass-playing wear and tear too. Over the past couple of years I've tried pretty much every s-s bass I could get my hands on - and seem to have ended up buying most of them! So now it's time to get back down to the 3 or 4 basses that best suit my needs (I've already sold a Gibson SG, a Les Paul DC, a Hofner Club and a fretles Scott Whitley SWB-1). This one plays/sounds virtually as good as the more expensive stuff I'm keeping!

    This is a mint/unmarked example of a really nice s-s bass. I had it set up by my local luthier with my preferred D'Addario EXL220S strings and the price is delivered UK and includes the excellent gig-bag that came with my Maruszczyk Cazpar (that now has a hard case and the bag's a perfect fit for the Talman). Here's the spec: Construction: Mahogany with rosewood fretboard (radius = 9.5") Scale length: 30" with 20 medium frets Weight: 3.3kg / 7.3lbs Neck width at nut: 41mm / 1.6" Pups: Dynamix P (neck), Dynamix J (bridge) Reason for sale? Too much stuff coming in!!

    Mint/unmarked example finished in Root Beer Metallic with Ibanez Mikro gig-bag in equally good nick. I bought this a while back after deciding I needed a light/compact fix for a short period of marathon rehearsals during new band start-up. Also proved ideal to have on my lap while sat at the pc working bass parts out. Apart from the convenience though, must also say that I'm surprised by just how capable this little bass is! Selling now as part of latest 'stuff has to go because other stuff's coming in' purge.

    I keep coming back to have another look at this just to remind myself how gorgeous it is!

    "Friend has a black Jack with the EMGs that he's had since he bought it new years and years ago, it's immaculate - but he won't sell it to me " How unreasonable is that?!

    What a beast - and a very rare one too!

    "I loved owning a bass that actually had a red LED on it...." I felt the same about my old TE head with the UV-lit front panel - didn't have an LED on my bass though.

    [quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1480277528' post='3183057'] I think Mark Gooday, who founded Ashdown, was a designer and engineer for Trace Elliot. He might have been the chief designer at Trace Elliot but I'm going from memory here can't be bothered doing a Google search to confirm this. [/quote] That's exactly right.

    Greetings bass cousin!

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1480253571' post='3182784'] That's a bargain price for such a great and quite unique bass! GLWTS [/quote] +1

    Spare bass and spare amp head for me. 2nd bass does for backup and is usually something a bit more aggressive that I'll use for heavier last set.

    Still love my AH300SMC GP7s (I've got two). I just love the pre-set and portable/powerful enough thru a TE compact 115 (re-loaded with 300W Celestion) and Ashdown Neo 210 in same-sized cab.

    Fyi, I sold this to juliusmonk. It was a cracker, and I'm sure it still is - I can recommend him as a top basschatter.

    And here's the pics: [url="http://[URL=http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/scrumpymike/media/IMG_4968_zpsbml4r2fz.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/scrumpymike/IMG_4968_zpsbml4r2fz.jpg[/IMG][/URL]"][IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/scrumpymike/IMG_4968_zpsbml4r2fz.jpg[/IMG][/url] [url="http://[URL=http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/scrumpymike/media/IMG_4966_zpsntcogckd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/scrumpymike/IMG_4966_zpsntcogckd.jpg[/IMG][/URL]"][IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/scrumpymike/IMG_4966_zpsntcogckd.jpg[/IMG][/url] Thanks for the reassuring feedback guys. Found a couple of unexpected benefits of ownership: shorter than normal case fits across the boot of my car; the bass is stable when you stand it up on the floor thanks to beefy twin strap buttons. All good then!

    I'm no expert on Stingrays but had a play on what looks, feels and sounds like a really nice one in Jaywalk Guitars, Street that's up for £899 inc case. I've bought a couple of basses from them and Geraint and Dan are really good guys.
