Never seen a Wal I liked till now. The timber on that is stunning.

[quote name='johnzgerman' post='788827' date='Mar 28 2010, 08:18 PM']put some frets on it and i'll buy it geeza.[/quote] Wouldn't be a hard job to do, local Luthier's calling, its already setup. I prefer it fretless. The cost would probably take you up to half the price of a new USA still in as new condition.

TRADED N GONE!!!

Ahh John Butler Trio! My old bass teacher was a fan. Ocean is an incredible song, their CDs are uber expensive though

Really deserves to be sold at £750, for the sweet finish as well - the pickguard is just the icing on the cake. I heard a chap playing one the other day in live lounge Cardiff, big presence.

I wonder if that hat n flares would work for me??

Hmm, dithering a lil bit on this. Didn't realise the USA models were that rare in the UK Lakland problem all over again...

Now now now then! This or the Bootsy??? Damn I wish someone would buy my basses...

All trades considered although I do have something in particular that i'm after directly after its sale! Green is definately the new black and this has both on it to make sure.

Still Available.

It is the best finish I've seen on a Stingray 5, I prefer the rosewood also - more depth!! Semi Acoustic Fretless Bass with Lines (preferably ebony board) sounds like my idea of heaven...

[quote name='theosd' post='784154' date='Mar 23 2010, 11:16 PM']I really seriously would do that trade were it not for it's scale, it's a groovy looking thing! Makes me wanna pick it up and play Free tracks all day...[/quote] It sure has a woofly tone if thats your thing, I was enjoying using a pick on the rickenbacker setting but now I'm using the EB3/P bass setting for fingerstyle, has more punch and less growl and clank. I need to find some way of getting audio samples up and some better photos BC will let me upload and it'll be away. I don't blame your temptation! Its not often a 60's bass turns up so cheap unless it has a warped neck/poor action or been modified, into Rickenfaker territory now. It's got some sturdy timbers and some very distinct vintage tones, just lovely now it has TI flats. Completely giggable, but has the antique look. The neck is fantastic. If you'd like some detailed photos your very welcome - just PM me your email address. The scale isn't really much of a problem. I'm 6ft and I wear the bass a little higher than usual and tighten my strap, it sits pretty much on my belly so I have full access to the 21st fret I use so much!! You'd have to have pretty massive hands, like paddles not to find your way around, it feels nowhere near as small as a guitar. The neck is amazingly fast, especially helpful for solos where sliding/bendings involved. Been checking out some of the Free Videos recently on youtube, I've clearly been missing out, only listened to Bad Company!!

sweeeeeet!

Hey Chris! I think the change from gold to chrome will be a definate improvement, not many pickguards go with red n gold! Be like a duck dunn,Tis a beauty of a bass especially the relicing. The gold hardware would look amazing on the blue one tho!! Ahh one day maybe I'll have a collection like that. Precision and ampeg is always a winning combo.

Fantastic bargain. I'd take it if my stuff would sell.

Malekko B:assmaster Fuzz Pedal (silicon version). Bought this recently, its in perfect working condition and looks brand new. Quite a wide array of Fuzz tones from mental (Muse) to subtle. Bought it for the whole Chris Squire Fish out of Water transcription. Reason i'm selling is a mix of not currently at the stage to be able to afford and experiment with pedals - gimme a couple o years perhaps. £110 posted Full review here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6kjd6GyvLc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6kjd6GyvLc[/url]

I'll include postage also.

[quote name='benzies123' post='780782' date='Mar 20 2010, 02:02 PM']You can see how beautiful that maple under the lacquer is... Given the opportunity I would certainly remove the finish and leave it at that maple. Good luck with the sale![/quote] I agree, I'd just strip it down to the wood. Then get someone to take a look at the electronics.

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='779355' date='Mar 19 2010, 06:21 AM']I don't want to be a dreadful pedant (well maybe I do), but the stretch is down to the scale length not the number of frets. It's just how far up the neck they gave up adding frets I found that, although at first glance quite chunky, that these G&Ls have amazingly comfy necks for a five string.[/quote] Do they add the extra frets past the 12th?? It is a very comfy neck, I'm a lil unsure now. I've had a few basses where the 1st to 5th frets have been awful for my hands to manouvre around (in this case its the bottom 3) but it ain't too bad, getting used to using my pinky for octaves. I always heard G&Ls were heavy and had poor access to the higher frets - I disagree! I prefer a fretless (in ebony!), although getting frets put in wouldn't be a waste of funds, I think they're very underrated both renown and value.

Its because of the Funky Weird Green finish, more basses should be green I feel. I've got a Zebra Skin Strap Locked on it at the moment
