    Router around pickups - well, that is artistic licence...
  2. prowla
    Yep - definitely modified.

    I once got flamed for saying I didn't know who Jack Casady was.

    It's very easy to miss his playing if you listen to the Beatles on the radio. But if you sit down and listen to the music a lot of the songs are like a self-contained how to play the bass lesson. A really fine bass player. (If you discount his Yamaha period.)

    I've previously bought from them online and at guitar shows; I guess no more, though...
  6. prowla
    Yep - Hagstrom.

    The story of this bass is interesting; I think the bloke built it for a bet and hand-made the lot. The amount of work that went into it is quite staggering and it is certainly unique. However, the sad fact is that it is just not worth that amount of money.

    I think he moved to Birrmingham.

    I know it's sacrilege, but I don't particularly like her bass playing. The song ain't bad, IMHO; I could put it next to my Aimee Mann CDs.

    Some of the workmanship seems OK, but putting the cheapo tuners makes a statement about its makers' confidence in the product.

    Well, it would be possible to get it and re-do its derrière with a proper headless bridge/tuner assembly.

    A bit of an Oddity then...

    There's a nice glow to that fire.

    So that'll be as good as a Fender then!

    FYI, I recently bought this rare sought-after vintage lawsuit era guitar. It's an ugly sod and its best feature as it stands is probably the broken tuning key, which means it is unplayable.

    I think that the ones which bettered the original were very few. People often quote Tokai as a sort of blanket case, but actually they did a range, so it's dangerous to extrapolate the assertion that some were better than the original to all were.

    Flipping it within a week is a bit blatant, but what's been expressed here has been more a raising of eyebrows than moral outrage.
  18. prowla
    Flipping heck!

    Rare lawsuit vintage pile of poo for sale!

    My first bass was a Columbus Jazz, and there was a very similar Grant version. It worked for me for a year or so, 'til I bought a Rickenbacker.

    aye.

    Could be a coincidence, of course... https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-parts/squier-by-fender-neck-for-precision-bass-fretless-lined-neck-only/1332069099
  23. prowla
    A question - was it a lined neck?

    I like the fact that this amazing thread is still going. x2

    It's the bit just before that: "From Roger Griffin: If in fact that is Bob Vosgien's guitar, then I certainly did build it". Notice the "if" word there.
