Welcome va

Has anyone tried the labella Olinto flats, I’ve watched a few videos and they seem quite nice , I’m normally 40-100 ish but wouldn’t mind trying them

I remember a friend of mine had that album when I was at school, which I think I’ve still got somewhere, the one that I used to like was The Model

I know all these tracks and it’s good to hear them like this, the Bassline on Linval Thompson stop loving is just great

Sorry to hear this, thanks for sharing Rumblebass

I’d agree it’s a great place and very well moderated, I’ve met lots of good people here mainly when I’m buying stuff, I live abroad part of the year but I’m still on here every day and sometimes all day , I don’t always post unless I can add or help out in any way, as @Oopsdabassistsays “If ya can't say something nice......" that sort of thing”, I’ve always got answers to whatever I’ve asked, even the stupid questions 😁, and the DOI always brings a smile to my face, top people there , in all I’d be quite lost without basschat

Great one ud, sly and Robbie at their best

Looks in very good condition for the year , as above some of the mid to late 70s ones can be pretty heavy so you might ask about the weight, I’d try to get the price down too if you’re thinking of getting it, good luck

Another one of my favourites from Naoto

Are they new vin, they might just have some factory oil on them, I’d give them a good wipe down, I wouldn’t put anything on my fingers myself

I don’t take any notice of the weight myself and I don’t mind heavy basses, strangely I don’t really like ones that are too light, but if you’ve had a back problem then standing with it might be uncomfortable after a while, cool bass though

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, I know they did code lots but didn’t think they dated them there, the earlier bodies were dated in the pickup cavity

Out of interest what do you make of this, https://reverb.com/uk/item/78434635-fender-precision-bass-1959-body-sunburst I’m thinking it’s maybe not a 59 body, from what I understand they didn’t have a paint stick mark or a date in the neck pocket?, looks more late 60s-early 70s

Welcome moose

I’ve been going through my Matumbi which I do every now and again ,and I’d forgotten how good this Bassline is, might have to brush up on it the weekend

I don’t know much about mustangs but it doesn’t seem a bad price for the year, nice colour and I remember Spirogyra too

I think I know the one you mean, looks pretty good, it’s been for sale for a long while, I’m guessing they would take an offer

I wouldn’t say I crave it but I’ve always liked the look of the Ida Nielsen signature, I don’t like gold hardware but it looks cool , I’m guessing I’d play it for a while then it would sit in the rack

How about some Tony Tuff from around 1980 and a track I can’t get enough of lately from the album Hi Yo by Keith Foundation, a great Bassline to play by Robbie Shakespeare

When you say ,This bridge is fixed into drilled holes. It ain't moving, do you mean it’s recessed or something or the screws are just really tight, do you have a pic stew

Hi bobby, I normally just call them on 01621 857853 uk , they don’t come on here much these days ,but you could try and send a private message to the tag Spondon has given above and it will go to their email, good luck

Have you tried different strings stew, I had this once and it was ok with another set

How much are we estimating on this one, I’m guessing the provenance will raise it a fair bit
