    [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1425660935' post='2709550'] not original [color=teal][size=1][b][font=Times New Roman][size=3]A NOTE ON THE USE OF ROSEWOOD AND EBONY, SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION, THE USE OF BLACK EPOXY ON PRE-AMPS, BODY CONTOURING & BRIDGES. Although Rosewood was used for [u]fretless[/u] Basses, [u]fretted Rosewood[/u] was not introduced as an option until very late 1979 (or very early 1980). At the same time fretless Basses changed from Rosewood to Ebony.[/size][/font][/b][/size][/color] with the lack of dot markers on the board it looks like this maybe a fretless that has been fretted? [/quote] He's aware of the non-originality of the fingerboard/frets but he's not letting on. "[color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]From what I can gather the original fretboard was replaced. As the end of the neck is signed LF and dated for Nov 76." (ebay message)[/font][/color] [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]However it could explain why a previous winner of this bass on ebay never completed the sale. [/font][/color]

    [quote name='buzzardian' timestamp='1425561907' post='2708607'] owned the bass befoe jdel. Great instrument and [size=5]rather light[/size] [/quote] How light is 'rather light'?

    Severely undervalued basses these!

    Even though I know that my Thunderfunk will handle 3 of these cabs (not a TC amp user but mine will go to 2 ohms), I can't imagine a situation where more than two of these would be required (stacked vertically, two will handle anything that I do)!
  5. warwickhunt
    Superb little cabs and had I not just bought a 2nd one (at a higher price than yours), I'd have been on this!
  6. warwickhunt
    LOL I forgot that you had her back!
  7. warwickhunt
    Looks lush, shame you aren't local to give it a try!

    I've had a couple of loopers and the standard TC Ditto is the easiest and best by far.
  9. warwickhunt
    Are these EMG 35 or 40 sized?
  10. warwickhunt
    8lb is very light for any Jazz sized/shaped bass (even downsized as this), I tried about 6 DJs as I was told they were light and I never found one under 9lb... nice basses mind.
  11. warwickhunt
    £770... inc delivery from Russia.

    I have the very same bass... wouldn't be brave enough to do that! What was the deciding factor for pup placement and did you know what was under the top in that location before you started routing (what is it that gives it that 'resonator' sound)?
  13. warwickhunt
    Make it even thinner by making your slab into two 'wings' to attach to a neck-thru construction. I've got an early 'W' Streamer that is less than 30mm... at the thickest point.
  14. warwickhunt
    I've gone middle ground... Thunderfunk amp and a pair of TC RS210 cabs. The cabs are non-neo yet small/light enough; stacked vertically they have a great throw and are at ear level.

    [quote name='greenolive' timestamp='1424097000' post='2692523'] Yes , but if a strange one They are in 5 string size , but are cut for a four string with 19mm string spacing They fit my manson perfectly [/quote] You can clearly see they have pole-pieces for a 4 string but the casing size is the EMG 5 string size. Had they been a straight drop in I'd have had them.
  16. warwickhunt
    I was about to PM you and have these till I realised that the 102mm EMG40 is 5 string spacing; the 35 is 4 string and 89mm.
  17. warwickhunt
    Is this slab fronted or is there a forearm contour?
  18. warwickhunt
    I have exactly the same pair of basses and I have nickel flats on both, nice punchy tone BUT the Godin can have a bit of low end 'bloom' on sustained low notes.
  19. warwickhunt
    Just bought a TC RS210 cab (poss a 2nd incoming) and I have to say it has blown me away... quite literally! A pair stacked vertically will win the laws of physics competition but more importantly the drivers are at the same height as an old fashioned stack. You know where I am if you want to give a blast and in the process save your back and knuckles.

    Bought Gerry's TC RS210 and the deal was as smooth as you like. I paid with direct bank transfer and no issues about trust. Cheers.
  21. warwickhunt
    Resurrection or what! Aria Sinsonido is the lightest full scale bass and the 'frame' makes it really comfortable.
  22. warwickhunt
    What are the shipping costs from Italy and how do you accept payments?
  23. warwickhunt
    Can you zap me info/pics of the[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] in-ear headphones you pop into your ER molds? [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers[/font][/color]

    That particular bass had a very tight, punchy tone much of it down to the density of the body timbers and though it's hard to quantify (no recorded evidence), the bass did sound a nadge brighter/tighter after the high polish finish, though I'd imagine only me and Dave Wilson (who refinished it and had this bass on loan for a few years) would have been able to tell.
