[quote name='bigd1' post='1102544' date='Jan 25 2011, 06:50 PM']how does this sound acoustically ? and what are you asking cash wise ? It might be me but it seems to be a little unclear in your post. Ta very glad BIGd[/quote] Hi BigD, Sounds great acoustically as its semi hollow so its got some great body to it on chords, I've been using it mostly as a song writing guitar which usually leads to playing Freebird . Plugged in the neck pickup is fantastic for blues and has some southern character when used with the bigsby. The neck pickup is a crisp crunch sound ACDC esque and the pickups are lovely n quiet so its not the best for Ted Nugent feedback tricks like he does his deep semi hollow ES-137. Very much a mix of a Gibson ES-335 and a Les Paul but with a comfier neck and better intonation, the build quality is a match. I'm after £600 as its as new, best of 3 from a high street shop costing £950 and I paid £100 for a pro setup and I can also string it with a new set of Dean Markley 10's. If my Stingray goes I'm keeping it. Kind Regards Oli Matt EDIT: Just tried to find a video on Youtube for you but they're still poor apart from the chap playing the singlecut version on my original ad above unfortunately

Are you still in Carlisle?[/quote] I'm in Cardiff University for half the year, other half i'm on my hols back in a place called Burgh just outside. Not many Carlisle bassists on here though, I think theres only two others - Martin who works for Overwater n owns a pretty Progress III and another BCer comes to mind that owns a couple of lovely Overwater Jazzes like yours and an Evolution. I'm the odd one out I'll own an Overwater one day when the moneys good . I know a Phil Rogers back home, but that can't be you cos hes a Thunderbird player. Best o luck with the sale! Shouldn't be a hard sell BCers are crazy for Super J's :gas

Gorgeous, nice to see another Carlisle bassist

Final bump before I look into postage!

Someone near Cumbria must need a bit o fretless umph...

Shweeeeet!!

This ones a great first bass for enthusiastic beginners, highly recommended

[quote name='martthebass' post='1098422' date='Jan 22 2011, 10:16 AM']As Schnozzer's link shows I'm a previous owner of this. I really regret selling it, if I didn't have my 'fretless' cash tied up in a SR5 fretless - currently with Mr Shuker having a full service and set up, I might be turning it into cash to buy this back. Good luck with the sale.[/quote] Thanks Mart, I'm sure the SR5 will play as smooth as butter after Jon's given it a going over! Would be a pleasure to return the 4 to a previous owner though . Looks like postage is needed to get this one moving PMs replied!

I've recently taken this in part exchange for my Marleaux and stored it while i'm at University. As close as you going to get to the Pino model for under £1500ish...or whatever the price of one of them is, but yeah one for the Paul Young fans!! Lightweight 2008 Musicman Stingray 4 String Translucent Honey Burst Finish Black Pickguard Unlined Fretless Pau Ferro Fingerboard (But with sidemarkers where the frets should be, rather than in the middle) Old Skool Focused 2eq Preamp Excellent condition with musicman hardshell case This has been kept within the basschat community so its fantastically well looked after. I'm not bothered about keeping this one as my achilles heel is a fretless - I am trying to switch to guitar though! I've played an unlined fretless before and you only look at the side of the neck anyway, a weeks practice and a lot of its down to muscle memory too so fear not! The change is minimal and less hassle than changing from a 34" to 35" scale or 4 to 6 strings in my experience and honest opinion.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1097910' date='Jan 21 2011, 06:22 PM']As I suspect you know, Owen, I bought Schnozzalee's Bravewood ( [url="http://tinypic.com/a/20gg7/3"]http://tinypic.com/a/20gg7/3[/url] ) and I've never yet regretted it ... excellent build quality and superb tone. I did find a way to improve it though. I fitted a John East P-Retro. Enjoy.[/quote] Twas'ni mine!! Think it belonged to a chap called Ben from Bath, I sold the '56 Telebass to Jimijimmi. I think i'd prefer an un-relic'd vintage style Bravewood but with the crazing of the nitro and dulled hardware. Fantastic and flawless basses hands down.

Always wanted to try one of these, the grain is very eye catching on this one

Noooo!!! I can't do it this time only have part exchange fodder. Kevin's a fantastic guy to deal with and these Bravewood basses are flawless, really miss mine I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Gutted!!

Does it have the ashtrays/pickup covers as well?
