Reggaebass

I’m not normally a fan of green basses, but that really looks great, very nice 

Just watching it now, quite interesting 

That’s great news mark, thanks for letting us know and hopefully it will be back with you soon 

I dropped Edlong21 a pm just in case he doesn’t see the thread

Hi everyone, I think I’ve come across your bass in a live auction with Wellers Auctions in Guildford. I check their listings from time to time for instruments, and this one caught my eye due to the very limited information provided. A quick Google reverse image search led me to this forum. The auction ends tomorrow, so it may be worth contacting them ASAP. I really hope you’re able to recover the bass. Chris

Great work 

Maybe a silly question and I’m sure you’ve asked, but doesn’t the owner have the original matching tuner from when they changed it

Nice one, Ive got that book somewhere, there’s plenty of stuff to work on, it’s good 

Nice one Rob, looks so much better matching 

New one from Don 

That really is lovely Nibody, sorry to hear about your health issues and all the best with your sale 

I don’t think it’s something I’d get unless it glows like this

Still using live and buying for VBR stock. This one is Ex Led Zeppelin, what a rig! For anyone who’s tried a Wallace, they know what I mean 👌👌👌 1967 and off to the US of A

Loving that, amazing

That’s such a great groove, two true masters at work. RIP Sly, an absolute legend in music. 
 

I bet the pair of them are blazing one up right now. 

Absolutely bert, thank you, they really were special and such an inspiration 

After the immensely sad passing of sly Dunbar Ive been going through my sly and Robbie videos, this is one of my favourites and there’s some good shots of sly in action, he will be greatly missed 

I looked on the  LowEnd Bass Shop at their 64, I’m pretty sure it’s the same bass , with the wear and chipped pickguard

Is there a way to report scammers to Reverb? I couldn't see one.

Normally right at the bottom of the listing there’s a report to reverb option

Is that one still available? I can't believe any of us thinks the $5k Middlesbrough bass is legit! 

Yeah still for sale mark 

There’s one in the USA I see for just over 15k that looks like the same one

If it looks too good to be true, it is

My thoughts too Belka, I’ve had a reply and it’s saying it’s genuine , if I was near Middlesbrough I’d be on my way to have a look

Strange price, especially for Reverb.

Hard to tell from that screenshot Tony but could it be a custom shop Jazz? Either that or it could possibly be a seller typo by missing a "1" at the front of the price in their haste to post 😄.

(Or option #3 - it's a scam.)

Those were my exact thoughts too miles

Just see this, I think I can make out a L serial number, am I missing something, crazy cheap

This was the vid and this was how the signal chain was described:

"Derek is playing a 1963 Fender Precision bass with La Bella Low Tension Flats and a Nordstrand Nordy Mute. The signal goes through a Noble Preamp DI into a slightly pushed 1970s Ampeg B 15 and then a Neve console. Simple. Classic. Sounds killer".

 

 

Really like that and great playing, the bass and setup doesn’t get much better than that, I want a noble and a B15 now 😁

Ive started this one a few times but never finished it all the way through, it’s a great Robbie Shakespeare Bassline, I’m trying with fingers but I think Robbie played it with his thumb, so I’m trying both ways at the moment 

Very nice Jazzy, looks great ,congrats 

Very cool, there must be some hisssstory to this ..
