[quote name='BigRedX' post='583057' date='Aug 27 2009, 11:14 PM']Which one? There's a whole page of basses there...[/quote]
The one called 'Uberhorn'?
Not my thing to be honest but ascetics are so very subjective.
I have seen and had my hands on this bass and if Alan wasn't already building me a fretless I'd be more than just interested.
As you say very light and very nice indeedy.
Just check all the connections with a multimeter and resolder any dodgy ones. Is it an active or a passive bass?
Passive basses are fairly simple electronically.
I don't really see the point of relic'd instruments at all but, for a heavily relic'd body I've seen far, far worse than that one. I actually think it looks pretty good if this is your 'thing'.

Yeah but he was a newbie and not a bassist so he's not used to abuse perhaps?
A part of me was deliberately avoiding this thread while guessing that the usual off topic nonsense would be prevailing.
Sadly I looked and my suspicions were confirmed. This guy used BC to offer an opportunity to someone, bollox followed and he's not replying? Now that's hardly a surprise
What an ungrateful lot
Thanks for the idea Clarky.
I'll wear my buckle round the back, with a tea towel wrapped around it and with my jeans left in the drawer just in case.
I'll also get one of these so that nothing else sticks out and causes a rash

I know Sir! Putting hand up from the back of the class.
The MM IV is Japanese and the MM V is USA.
They are indeed a fine bass, I've put a Sadowsky pre in mine too.
70's pickup position too.
Oh no Russ!!!!!
Hopefully your sanity will be regained before someone buys this absolute beauty of a bass.
I managed nearly 12 years without a gig and still got up to 20+ basses
It's generally accepted that the GS's are more scooped in the mids.
Someone will probably come along and trash that theory in a minute however
I've used both as a pair and like both. I would go for the DB's for my favourite tone though.
