Wasn't Rory Gallagher's trick to leave your guitar in a ditch for a couple of weeks....

Is there a familial likeness there, or is it just the shades? Great photo!

I suspect it might have had a new fret board, but it looks absolutely fantastic for it.

That's a beautiful looking Stingray. It looks like you have polished it within an inch of its life!

And my 77 P is 42mm, but it's a leftie!

What a great throw back. That's very different from the single I have somewhere of it. I seem to remember Larry Carlton played on it. Do you know who the bass player was?

I do like the pictures of King Charles. they add a certain 'authority' to you all....esp the drummer

That looks a really nice bass.....if you like that sort of thing and are a leftie

Great minds (almost) think alike...

No I don't. I have a Mesa D800+ where I put the Noble on the front end. My alternate is a Handbox R 400 on its own, which is a bit less subtle.

Thanks. I do want a functioning bass, but won't that impact the value of the bass to the obsessively 'is it original' brigade?

Well it's not quite glam, but it's an Alembic

I have a pre-EB Musicman which has developed a horrible shorting like noise when I plug it in with certain jack-leads. I recall from another thread recently a basschatter talking about very slightly diffent sized jack plugs. Looking at what seems to make a difference with mine, using old leads where the jack-head has been screwed tightly into the plastic retainer causes the jack to sit very slightly further out (and does not short). Having taken the control unit off the Musicman, the whole jack socket assembly is an old sealed unit that I really don't want to muck about with. Has anyone else experienced his and/or what advice would you have? Ta

With the proviso about the red flags, that looks a pretty good deal. It's got a through body neck (unlike an Epic) and a book matched headstock and body. Like Jazzyvee I would say it looks in good nick. It might weigh a bit though and look out for neck dive (wide strap solves that one)

Is that a soft drink?

And a beautiful 5 string Wal to boot. Do you chain it to the music stand?

They probably didn't want to mention the domed front, sides (albeit they mentioned the broken neck, nack....d pick ups, replaced tone controls (before it went in the loft), refinished body, hybrid machineheads)....what's not to like! And all worth how much?

That went straight over my head. Having laboured to the end of the slightly nerdy history of the bass I thought they said it's uniqueness was the domed back.

looks like it had been strung right handed
