    I've long loved this version of Too Much Of Nothing by Peter, Paul and Mary but only now listened to it properly. Oh my word - the bass playing is out of this world Stellar performance by Rick Danko of The Band.

    It's got a lovely low action too!

    Naah. I just don’t gel with the scale length, balance, neck radius. It’s just not me. I should have admitted it before spending hundreds on pickups and mods

    **Will take £475 or trade for the right S-Type guitar** Right. Finally faced up to the fact that I'm not an SG kind of player. Yes, I think it's the coolest guitar ever but having spent a bit of time with a Strat I have had to come to terms with the truth that I'm a single-coil kinda guy - I like clean sounds, I play chords not lead and this thing is wasted on me so time to pass it on. I bought it in 1997 and since then I've replaced the pickups with a DiMarzio PAF Pro and a Seymour Duncan JB, I also got luthier of some repute Jeff Beer to fit coil taps and dress the frets and he did say it was a good example of an SG. I'm also including the leather strap with locks and the original tuners (it's got locking ones now). It's been played and has a few knocks and scratches but the action is lovely and it sounds great - there's the usual Gibson line along the fretboard but the neck/body joint is fine as you can see in the pics and it's never been repaired. I'd much rather someone picked it up in person but I've got a box to pack it up and it'll come in a gig bag if you want to arrange a collection at your own risk. Any questions give me a shout. I'll miss this one but it's time it got the kind of playing it deserves.

    I bought a guitar from Keith and the process went like a dream! He was excellent about communicating, made sure it got collected by the courier and packed it up beautifully- really, superb packaging! I’m a very happy indeed. Recommend without hesitation.

    I had one of these. Can confirm it’s heavy but absolutely amazing sounding and bombproof.

    Could be anything. Maybe even a laminate of plastic on a sheet of plastic. Who can tell?

    Do they sound transparent though?

    I mean, walking on stage with THAT!!! I think the only way to top it would be one of them would be a Gus http://www.gusguitars.com/product.php?model_id=6

    That's a VERY good price. I know they've refined things a bit since then but I doubt you'd tell much of a difference without being able to play it against a new one back-to-back. The only thing I'd say is that if you wanted to upgrade to the 3-pickup model it may be more tricky, but personally my go-to tone is both on a-la-Jazz with both pickups on full.

    bump. I've got one of these. Nice amp.
  13. kwmlondon
    Totally! If you’ve got it how you like it then keep the thing. Well done…

    The bassist for George Clinton’s funkadelic was running one of these through an Aguilar 8x10. Mucho good!

    You what?! You want to Les Claypool? Are you mad? Is that even possible? He's not human, you know.

    Hey. So they lost the compass that month. So what?

    MusicMan are not scared of a "divisive" scratchplate. I mean, they pioneered the toilet-seat look...

    Great take - thanks!
  19. kwmlondon
    Well really now!! Good grief!

    No I'm really flipping not! I HAVE sold a bass through these guys (they got me a very good price - can't fault them) but no. Not guilty.

    I think ergonomics are much more important - a nice feeling neck, body, contours that suit you, but I can be lit up by the look of an instrument. It can definitely inspire my imagination, especially something beaten up that's been used in anger.

    I've got a Dingwall combustion 5 and it's got 4 different settings for its 3 pickups and I use each one of them - they all fulfil a role so for me it's far more helpful but I do admire people who can carefully dial in something from a versatile bass with loads of different controls.

    Well, being fair, I did post an opinion so it's fair game for people to disagree. I like a vintage Precision as much as the next person but I do like basses that stand out from the crowd and I love it when a manufacturer has a go at something new. It honestly never occurred to me that people would think it was horrible but it's been quite funny finding out how divisive this thing is.

    Good lord!

    I have NO idea. I'm so intreagued I think I'm going to have to go down there and give one a whirl... I've got a couple of basses that need a good setup anyway so they'll get some of my monies...
