    A real shame! Both she and her brother - Keith Chegwin - have left us when still quite young. RIP.

    Sorry, my bad!! Now I really wish I were in the UK.

    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

    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

    Loving them both.....especially that checker binding!!! Enjoy.

    That's naughty practice, indeed.

    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.

    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!!

    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".

    These are simply fantastic pieces of kit! Studio and live. GLWTS.

    You might want to post this ad in the EUB section to target the interest a bit better. Just a thought.

    BlueMoon replied to SumOne's topic in Bass Guitars

    Agreed. They certainly look nice. I've not come across the brand before.

    Vanderkley amps and cabs are "top draw" quality. I have an Aurore and have been super happy with it. GLWTS

    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).
  15. BlueMoon
    Everything Marc Vanderkley makes is high-end quality. I have never had any issues. Good luck with your sale. Klasse!!!

    This was exactly my reaction. That colour just leaps out at you! Obviously a quality instrument on just looks alone. GLWTS.

    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.

    I keep seeing double. Should I get my eyes checked?

    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!
  20. BlueMoon
    I like that!!
  21. BlueMoon
    Gorgeous in all lighting situations, I'd say. Great acquisition!! Well done.
  22. BlueMoon
    Great ending!! Gorgeous
  23. BlueMoon
    No, but I have seen that Bacchus now specifies this bridge in their high-end instruments. Not sure who else endorses or uses it. I agree....it looks kinda weird.
  24. BlueMoon
    If there is a slight weakness - and this might be a personal choice - check out the pickups. Some folks exchange MIJ/CIJ Fender pickups citing "thin" sound and/or hum. I've never found it a problem aside from an Aerodyne Jazz, which is a PJ configuration and hum from the bridge p.u. is expected. It might help you if negotiating a deal to check this out if you get chance to demo the instrument. Good luck.

    I guess it would depend on the circumstances and which bass I had with me to lend. Some basses, yes; some basses, no. Although I might make a few exceptions if it were Pino or Macca doing the asking 😀
