Difficult to say, particularly for a left handed bass. As a starting point there is a left handed MTD Kingston for sale, new at Bass Direct for £999.....(and it's been there a while) so that's the very top end! It's one of those 'beauty (and price) is in the eye of the beholder' things. GLWTS

Am I allowed to quote a rival site: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/mtd-kingston-5-or-tobias-toby-pro-5.38925/ Gibson do not seem to cover themselves with glory, but I am sure beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's a proper neck through body.

Did Trace Elliott put 12 sliders on their graphics so they could claim one more than Dynacord then?

The bi line in John Entwistle's book says: "Too heavy to get off the ground but good for catching snakes"...so probably not a 32"

Have you thought of one of these

I just had a version of the same issue, upgrading my hifi from 35 year old student to the 21st Century. My ancient turntable is still relatively good, with a Linn arm on it, but a modern all singing all dancing amp required a pre-amp for the turntable. I got the Rega one, which sounds fantastic. I think vinyl sounds much better than CDs, although posh streaming sounds pretty good too.

Am I missing something or is this an example of now you see Basschat Straplocks....now you don't?

Has anyone watched this (from 4 minutes in). What a great ad for Wilcock basses!

Looks like it's crying out for some LEDs

As someone with (hopefully) a real 1977 Lefty precision, this is wrong at so many levels.....I don't think any precisions had through body strings in this period. The Fender logo is not even an amateur fake. The Serial Number would have either been on the neck plate or at the top of the headstock, but not on the back of the neck. there should be some evidence of a pull/thumb bar (even if just the screw holes), it should weigh a ton, and even if it were real (which it clearly is not), even bad examples didn't have a neck joint like that. All of that said, if it were real, it should be worth about £2k

It kind of reminds me of a Cabaret Voltaire Demo

is it this lot you are after? (sorry they're upside down...it'll add to the air of mystery)

Did anyone pick up on this initiative? http://www.nedcom.nl/WAL/ And a gratuitous picture of my Wal for good measure

Bass player's changed quite a lot since I last heard that track!

I think its his signature bass

The man was a genius. Actually the rhythm section were geniuses along with the baritone sax player. I came to ToP relatively late but was really happy to see them play live in 2017 in London (I think the last time Rocco would have played over here). How he didn't have arthritis in his fingers puzzles me, and I still can't master his muting technique!

All the Fender stickers are the wrong way round in the background. It's mirrored

I love George Best (the Devoted)
