  1. I always keep an eye on Gibson RD Artists on t’bay, being one of my favourite basses (I have 2.....), but this is the first fretless version I’ve ever seen: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-RD-Artist-Bass-Guitar-Natural-73257043-Sherwood-Phoenix/174558863526?hash=item28a484e0a6:g:8TMAAOSw4-Rf12pC Looks to be a factory fretless rather than a mod, and I’m pretty sure the board is ebony (not rosewood as described) as on the fretted sunburst and black RD Artists. Eye-watering price though......
  2. I’ve owned and gigged a good few all-valve heads (‘70’s Orange 100W, Fender Bassman 135, Ampeg SVT-2, Trace TwinValve, and Mesa D-180 - I still have the Mesa mainly as it doubles as a guitar head.....) but has been said many times on this forum; it’s darn hard to beat the valve tone and sheer practicalty of the Mesa Walkabout (a 300W hybrid amp of course). Mine is my go-to head unless I’m playing funk, in which case it’s the Ashdown MK500. Having said that, I’ve never tried the Handbox, heard very good things.

  21. No experience at all of playing these, but I’ve always thought that from a design perspective they’re simply stunning works of art. GLWTS

  23. To be fair; eBay currently seems to be completely rammed with basses FS from Japan with prices that have absolutely no connection with the real world. I wonder if any actually sell? The white one in the OP is lovely; I stupidly passed on one in a local music shop many years ago.....
