H&K Quantum, thats what they were! Thx Tony

For those of you who saw it, I apologise for bringing it up again, I know it was painful to watch, but worthy of a mention due to Mr Kemps choice of bass Spandau B played the JR show last night and the ex-easterender / 3 pc suite salesman was sporting a very nice Wal, the guy has got taste! Huge stack behind him, not one of the usual makes, I did read the name, but forgot this morning? That bloke who sings is very "lounge lizard" style these days, apologies if you are a SB fan, not my bag I'm afraid, the wife likes 'em though! JR's "expanding belly" reference to Tony Hadley was ammusing! Tony

Thanks for the info I spent more time searching the www and found pretty much what you said, not a lot of info out there, but the Bacchus connection is mentioned a lot I just picked up a lined fretless jazz bass, Bass Collection branded, but made by Momose, I haven't got it yet, but they seem to have a good rep' so hopefully it will be evident when I recieve it (bought blind off e-bay!) Tony

I got outbid Tony

I just bid £1.86 on this, I really want it! I will be very unhappy if one of you guys out bids me on this T

anybody? TONY

Anyone of you guys heard of Momose custom guitars? Found some info on the www, but not a whole lot, figured someone on here may no more. They made some basses for Bass Collection, I remember the Bass Collection range covered a very wide price range with some nice Jazz type basses with Barts at the top. Momose it would seem, were responsible for some of the better models Tony

I've had a few 'rays, at least four 4 string and a few 5's, all have been good basses. I used to spend a lot of time loitering around the Bass centre when it existed in manchester and have played many more than I've owned, to be honest, not played a real bad one, those that weren't so good, just needed a good set up IMHO There is variation for sure, but less than US Fender IMHO I am currently running a 2005 beutter cream 4 string and it is very nice indeed! T

Yeah, thats the one! That is nice!! How are you finding it? I saw the warwick, not really my thing. would consider an ebony necked warwick if one was to show up! Tony

5 string Pentabuzz is the holy grail in this particular quest! T

A while back I bought an Ibanez musician fretless off of this forum, it was intended to see of a return to playing fretless was the right thing to do, and yes it is, really enjoying playing it! So, now I feel it is time to find another fretless, I play 4 and 5 string and would prefer to have my fretless with 5 strings, I also prefer lines, the more subtle the better (don't really want to get into an unlined vs lined thing, lines is what I want, end of!) But there seems to be a "void" when it comes to 5 string lined fretless basses, I would have plenty of options with 4 strings, but not 5, unless I spent big $$ There are a few out there, such as the Gary Willis bass, but choice is limited. I'm not in a rush here and I have a few options, buy a 5 string with a fret board made of a suitable material and have it defretted or buy a fretted bass and have a new lined fretboard fitted, this gives me more options, but I guess will cost more. Not sure how much this sort of work costs, so any pointers would be good I'm fairly open to the type of bass here, probably would avoid warwicks with anything other than an ebony board, but thats it Cheers Tony

a shilling maybe T

I remember everyone had VT Bass pedals and Ashdown Little Giants advertised weeks/months before they were actually available![/quote] Exactly! Which is why asked the question, are they in the shop! T
