  1. I just wanted to see if anyone knows the location of one of my guitars I imported & owned this one since new but shifted it during a time of financial difficulty - now I can't find it anywhere!! Not exactly a model that goes under the radar - It's a Charvel Star from the Legacy Series and the graphic is known as 'The Gold Bolt'. The last owner was based in Worcester but he shifted it on... The only distinguishing feature is that there is a rusted thumb print is on the neckplate - Serial No. is something very close to GJ(?)0193. I'd be massively grateful if anyone finds it!!

  2. Who is this guy? He keeps picking up all the stuff that should be on here
  3. Those Fender guys sure know how to select a decent bit of timber for the extra moolah...
  4. [quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1362433711' post='1999832'] Aye, likewise. I also think that Warwick made a better bass out of Ned Steinbergers design. [/quote] They did!! And what i'd do to own that model
  5. Aha!! I know the answer to this one - a girl in Cardiff both records and tours with a vintage musicmaster (I shall find the band name for you), question is, are you talking about the bass or guitar version? EDIT: Victorian English Gentleman's Club - she works at the Recording Studios where OldGit held the Welsh BC Bash. She has a '77 Musicmaster Bass in Banana Yellow.
  6. HAHAHA!!! This has to be my favourite listing for a long long time. I'm thinkin' "what a funny story" in an Alan Partridge accent & that phrase, "Cool Story Bro"
  7. ESP PHOENIX!!! Check the weight though
  8. Aww keep the Tony Butler!! I may be moving to Cheltenham soon, so I'll probably have to buy it - my parents always say Big Country are the best live band they've seen and that's compared to Lizzy with Lynott and all sorts!!
  9. Nice pickguard, you made one for the USA model??

  11. I don't think Basschat has EVER seen one of these up for sale! I can remember reading about them in Bass Magazine when they were first released. They look fantastic, I reckon this would be an amazing instrument for some Ska as well as Classic Rock. I've just been speaking with the Fret King Masterbuilder this week, £900 for a UK built custom shop instrument is a damn fine price too!! Welcome to the forum!!
  12. Gorgeous, only issue to be had with ESP is sometimes they can be a tad heavy!! That's it
  13. I wonder how much it weighs; he's playing his replica on their current tour
  14. Well I think it's cool, i'm just too small to lift it
  15. You've been checking out Strats!!? I've been on a quest for the last year. The LSL saticoy is the worst i've played for the money (if you're going boutique), the 1954 50th Anniversary Masterbuilt Fender is the best i've tried. What price range are you looking within?
  16. It look fab though, I can imagine playing it from the neck piccies
  17. Big_Stu!! That's the BC'ers name, I knew it'd come to me, I think he owns Jim Lea of Slade's SG. 12stringbassist owns a Green 4001 on here too I think (i'm not too sure about the name, )
  18. I've owned a 4001 type from '75 I think it was. If your a fingerstyle player like me, I would not recommend them as the pickups are so high output, and crackle to the touch.I should also mention, Birch's builds vary massively - some have neck so thin they bow from slight string tension and other's are like a baseball bat - try before you buy!! There's an SG bass in Electric Ladyland, Bristol - it's in black finish but the owner wants close to 2 grand for it and you have to go see him in person - no online shop. He has a double neck guitar/bass 4001 too but it has a repaired neck & headstock. I personally wouldn't pay more than a grand for one, but it's cool that they are vintage, custom shop basses and you can get that Geezer Butler tone straight from the plug in. The truss rod requires a 16 Box Spanner - I had to keep taking mine back to Overwater because it had so little play in over the years. If you find a decent one for sub £1k i'd keep it, my guitar tutor taught me on an SG doubleneck guitar and a green 4001 bass; in my first band, the guitarist had a J1 too, so they're a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. Hope this helps!! Feel free to ask more questions! There's a couple of nice guys on here that own Birch's, hopefully they'll see this thread
  19. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1361211160' post='1982885'] Any better photos that would confirm this? I can't see the pickups or any logo on the headstock, and it doesn't really have enough controls to be a "classic" John Birch design. I would have also thought that something like this would have been in the John Birch catalogue of the time, but I don't recall seeing it in there. [/quote] Sorry, that was a bit blunt of me - the headstock matches the shape of John's J1 guitar
  20. Price? Pics? Spec? Is delivery available???
  21. Daaaaamn...just went to your youtube clips of this bass through your profile. My dad had to come in and see what I was listening to, you've really nailed a great tone there!! . Sorry to hear about your condition, is it at all similar to the reason why Scott Devine wears that glove when he plays??
