  1. I have to agree that the necks on Atelier Z jazz basses are sublime. Here's my one in blue.
  2. I spent some time convincing my wife that the new packages that would arrive at our door were, in fact, "new cases for some of my old basses that are presently stored in gig-bags". One time she asked me - with a smile on her face - what colour the lining of the new case was!! When I showed her, I was almost as surprised as she was that the supplier had forgotten to take out the instrument that had obviously been used to display the case lining In the store!
  3. Bought a lovely American Professional Precision V from Joni. Everything with the transaction went very smoothly. The instrument was correctly described and additional questions were answered in depth and very quickly. The packaging was the original Fender packaging - so no issues at all. The courier service (UPS) even delivered the bass earlier than anticipated. Very pleased. Thanks, Joni.......you are a great example of how great transactions can happen on Basschat. Highly recommended!!!
  4. A real shame! Both she and her brother - Keith Chegwin - have left us when still quite young. RIP.
  5. If only I were in the UK!!!! Lakland vary a bit in weight. With an ash body, are we talking like north of 10 Ibs (4.5 kg)? Whatever.......beautiful bass and GLWTS
  6. No personal experience.....but, our friends across the pond on that other bass forum have discussed the topic. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fender+zone+bass+site:www.talkbass.com&prmd=ivsxn&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjt46vm2oH1AhUD4aQKHY_dA4AQrQIoBHoECBIQBQ&biw=1024&bih=729&dpr=2
  7. Loving them both.....especially that checker binding!!! Enjoy.
  8. That's naughty practice, indeed.
  9. Really annoying is when one string is dead. However, some brands "design-in" a duller sounding low E string as part of the mystique. Intentionally thuddy from the outset. I seem to recall Pyramid flats having this.
  10. I just concluded a purchase of a bass from Augusto (@italiancross). His communications were superb and he is clearly a caring, sincere person. Buy/sell with confidence if Augusto is part of the deal. Grazie molto, Augusto!!
  11. Haven't seen it yet, but it has picqued my interest. I do have in my collection the Let It Be album with the glossy booklet that came out as a special edition at launch time. Quite collectable now, I'd guess. I got it from a pokey little record shop as a "might as well purchase".
  12. These are simply fantastic pieces of kit! Studio and live. GLWTS.
  13. You might want to post this ad in the EUB section to target the interest a bit better. Just a thought.

    Agreed. They certainly look nice. I've not come across the brand before.
  15. Vanderkley amps and cabs are "top draw" quality. I have an Aurore and have been super happy with it. GLWTS
  16. I'm much the same. If I would try to analyse any preference it probably has a lot to do with "my first bass" experience and fond memories. Much the same as hankering for the sweets and chocholate that one had as a kid........kinda sticks in the subconcious (or on the sofa in the case of the chocholate).
  17. Everything Marc Vanderkley makes is high-end quality. I have never had any issues. Good luck with your sale. Klasse!!!
  18. This was exactly my reaction. That colour just leaps out at you! Obviously a quality instrument on just looks alone. GLWTS.
  19. I have a Buzz 4 string from the same era. Stunning instrument to play; it is my reference fretless bass. This one looks gorgeous and will no doubt bring the same grin to the face of any new owner as mine does for me. GLWTS.
  20. I keep seeing double. Should I get my eyes checked?
  21. Not much more to add to the comments above. Hum from the bridge pup was the reason I swapped out the pup's to Dimarzio pj's. I have creme ones, which also look cool with DR Black Beauties. Otherwise, a nice light and resonant (basswood) body and super fast neck. The body dings up pretty fast and the black ones are fingerprint magnets!
  22. Gorgeous in all lighting situations, I'd say. Great acquisition!! Well done.
