    Curious to keep the “Viola” when it was never a Gibbo or Epi model. Also the Kramer D1 is listed as an Epi? So the Embassy hasn’t lasted, shame as it seemed a quite good option as an entry model. Should have made it with the batwing headstock. BRING BACK THE RIVIERA

    Bump for a great looking bass. Tempted. Wonder what it would look like with a 51 style scratchplate?
  3. Grahambythesea
    So this is a Newark Street model?
  4. Grahambythesea
    The other inevitable question, please, what’s the weight?
  5. Grahambythesea
    I think the original is handsome, metal knobs always have a classy look to them. When you spend the sort of money you’re spending you might as well have look expensive!

    I don’t think that is a stingray, it’s a spotted eagle ray!

    Didn’t Aria make some of these back in the day?

    With that big old Mudbucker in the middle it really should be named after Stuart.

    So how long have we to save our pennies before you unleash these ? Will there be preorders?
  10. Grahambythesea
    Looks like a Musicman Sabre.

    Now you can go on black and white telly and have your guitar look white 😁

    Are these repro versions still made out of cardboard, I mean Masonite?
  13. Grahambythesea
    Seem to be back up to £699 now.

    Also not in the market for a bass costing a grand, but nice to see P and J clones that weigh 3.5 / 3.8 kg. Generally lighter than the Fender originals.
  15. Grahambythesea
    What’s the weight?
  16. Grahambythesea
    Is it really pink, the photos make it look like butterscotch.
  17. Grahambythesea
    I love these but don’t they weigh a ton!
  18. Grahambythesea
    Sorry but I think that’s yuk.

    I didn’t notice the slight change in the headstock shape. I think I like it better than F’s original. Looking forward to seeing them once in production.

    Ace! But will the lawyers be after them?

    The 2013 EB plays brilliantly and the pickups and bridge are the same and are excellent. I think the coil tap makes a real difference and turns it into a J sound, but I prefer it in its meatier format. The newer shape didn’t grab me at first but it is reminiscent of the short lived Bunny Brunel which Gibson made. ( Kyle Eastwood has one) . ESP now seem to make his Signature model with an even longer top horn, so on balance I now quite like the new EB and reckon it will play well. Definitely like the black, it are there any out there? ESP Ltd version below.

    More treble in the eq. Possibly a little bit of chorus too, I believe that’s Pino’s solution on ‘where ever I lay my hat’.

    What a misnomer, should have been called the unlucky 7, but who 7 it only had 6 strings? May be the 7 related to the gap between the strings and the fretboard?
  24. Grahambythesea
    It’s too ugly to be a wall hanger!
  25. Grahambythesea
    I remember these well, the cheapest, nastiest ghastly basses of the 60’s! I don’t think the necks have a truss today and they were notorious for bending like bananas and not being able to be straightened. The pickups were awful housed in that lump of plastic. Vintage it may be but should be condemned. What’s it worth? Ask them to pay you a tenner to take it away.
