Festive Bump with a couple of additional close-up photos [IMG]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j476/nickonbass69/vox%20fretless/voxfless6_zpsc6e31205.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j476/nickonbass69/vox%20fretless/voxfless4_zps3e6bae91.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j476/nickonbass69/vox%20fretless/voxfless5_zpsf861e556.jpg[/IMG] -
[quote name='wahwahbarker' timestamp='1355920836' post='1904460'] Is the blazer sold now? [/quote] Would be very surprised if it wasn't! -
[color=#0000ff][b]Mods could you please remove post - sale now on ebay[/b][/color] [u][b]Vox 'White Shadow' Custom Fretless[/b][/u] 1985, made in Japan (Matsumoko). In good condition - but not mint, there a couple of small smarks, though quite minor & nothing really noticeable. Two jazz type pickups, with balance, volume & tone controls. Two octave, 24 fret (if it had any! ) neck Fretboard in very good condition, as can be seen in photo no wear at all, no score marks etc.... Currently strung with rounds, though I would put a set of half-wounds on it & set it up to suit if I was keeping it. Bought this on a whim, but as I already have an old Ibanez fretless which I'll always keep & don't play enough - so this has to go.

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1352054518' post='1858238'] £65 - got to be a great deal! [/quote] Have a bump.... These are great cabs. Had one myself until quite recently, was very happy with it, & only shifted it on because I'd acquired a Barefaced 'Compact'. A lot of cab for not much money - somebody should snap this up for the price. -
Also Manchester's 'The Creamery' [url="http://www.at-the-creamery.co.uk/custom-handwound-pickups-from-the-creamery/scatterwound-bass-pickups.html"]http://www.at-the-creamery.co.uk/custom-handwound-pickups-from-the-creamery/scatterwound-bass-pickups.html[/url] Cheers

Primal Scream recent BBC6 Music gig - who was the bassist ?
nick replied to mxm's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='stinson' timestamp='1349888539' post='1831873'] Henry Olsen was my favourite Primal Scream bass player, had a bit of class [/quote] Me too. He had a cool stage presence & very in the pocket playing. -
Really digging this 1973 album a friend made me aware of by Lea Roberts. Phenomonal bass playing on this track. Enjoy! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSl5-Y8ROx0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSl5-Y8ROx0[/url]

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1349269155' post='1824021'] There's an old DeArmond Starfire bass on Ebay at the moment, BIN £400. I used to have one and bitterly regret selling it, it was a very special bass. [/quote] +1 Recently picked up a lovely red Starfire reissue off here. Love it, a cracking bass & surprisingly versatile.

My first gig was the Wombles at the Davenport in Stockport, I think 1979.... They were great.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1344097890' post='1759809'] search in the "japcrap" thread- a couple of el maya's popped up in there. My guess £50-200 range [/quote] I'm no expert... but I've acquired & shifted several Maya basses over the years. Also had the El Maya guitar version of this bass, which was a very nice instrument, decent quality as were the other Mayas I had. However, it aint a Greco, Burny or Tokai etc... IMHO think Luke's above guess-timate is pretty bang-on, especially with regard to current market. If lucky you might get the top end (£250ish) on Ebay if you gave it a good listing & description, nice photos etc... but I wouldn't pay much more than that myself. Just my opinion I would personally keep it, if I liked it. It's a lovely bass

Here's my '84 Tokai Hard Puncher, not sure what model it is, maybe a PB40(?) Had it for about 15 years. In that time had many basses come & go, but this has always remained in my collection. It's generally my go-to bass & main one when I need a bass with roundwounds. Changed stock pickup for a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 'Vintage', added the tortoishell pickguard, recently fitted a John East P-Retro & strung with DR nickel Lo-Riders. Otherwise it's stock, though I've been thinking about replacing the tuners for a while. The neck is fast, not far off a jazz bass width & with a deep U profile - similar to a 70's P-Bass, really nice to play, comfortable. Cheers

Bought Gareth's Dearmond Starfire off him. Good coms, quick despatch & well packed. Recommended. Thanks Nick

Red Beans LP by Jimmy McGriff. The funkier side of the late great Bob Babbit [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQreymYY3v0[/media] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5vMX39GClM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5vMX39GClM[/url]

Francis, Bought a Kappalite off me. Straightforward deal, no messing about & prompt payment - thanks. Recommended

Depends on the music, either a 2004 CIJ '62 Precision with flats or a '84 Tokai Hardpuncher with roundwounds both probably worth no more than £400. Used for any gigs - pubs, weddings, functions etc...

Bump for a price reduction! -
[quote name='RichardH' timestamp='1341145754' post='1714235'] LF or HO? [/quote] It's a 'HO', just the standard 3015, not LF - it's the good standalone full range 15" driver.. Cheers
-
That looks lovely. Shame you're not near to me.
-
I've got one of these, its a 300H model. Apparently quite popular with Britpop bands back in the day. Loud amp with a basic straightforward EQ a la Fender Bassman - a pair of decent preamp valves does this amp justice.

French bassists - attention! Need advice in Paris!
nick replied to nemo's topic in Accessories and Misc
Hi Nemo, Can't help you with your enquiry, but could be a good idea posting it on Onlybass the French bass forum(?). I've always found it to be a Friendly forum.... -
My '83 Ibanez Roadstar RB920 desperately needed a refret..... so I decided on a defret! Dave at Waghorn's in Bristol did a great job of it.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1339882564' post='1695967'] He certainly disappeared...with deposits as well IIRC. [/quote] A kind of Delorean of bass cabs!
