Good work, great team effort

Interesting stuff, thanks chaps.

Looking promising, maybe I'll pick up a Fender blank plate for now and see how it fits, assuming you can get hold of them that is.


I'm not worried about making it look like a US model but I do love that trans white and stacked knob look they do on the American made JO :blush:


Cheers


R.

Really? I would have thought making a Skyline look more like a US model would be frowned on.

I might drop them an e-mail and see how I get on.

Thanks Dave

Well I finally got myself a Lakland Joe Osborn and I'm enjoying the passive tone of a jazz bass again, I like the look of the concentric knob layout you get on the US version of the JO and was wondering if this was an easy mod to do? sods law says the control plates are not the same.



Any advice would be appreciated.

I think this may have appeared in Bass Player Mag a while back but I gave all my copies away

Any pointers as to where I could get a transcription of this fab bassline would be appreciated.

Or The 100 Club at the end of next month - I'll be there

I used a Sound City valve guitar rig in a band many years ago because it sounded better then the Peavey Combo I had at the time. at just the right volume it sounded fantastic with bass.

If it ends up being in SE23 it would be rude of me not to turn up



R.

Have a bump on me.


Lovely guy to deal with.


R.

Sold a couple of old cases to Stevie, a joy to deal with.


Thanks



R.

40 odd years old, tanished and a bit green in places, still does the job though.


Send me a stamped addressed envelope and it's yours.

B .. B... BUMP


for a small price drop.

Both sold.




R.

BUMP for price drop.

Two knackered cases from the 70's, I have had these forever but are sitting empty so may as well go to someone who has a use for them, both are covered in stickers.

One has a makeshift handle after the original came off but has working latches.

The other has only one latch but decent handle.

Ideal for storing a bass under the bed or maybe when shipping.


Not sure if they are worth anything at all.


£6 each or both for a tenner?


Collection ONLY from South London.

Cheers BBass, it's a fantastic cab, too good to be sitting in the hall doing nothing.

I have had a few offers but none of the trades have taken my fancy and I would like to get a bit nearer the asking price then offered so far.

Many moons ago I saw her band support Aztec Camera much better then the main act.

Sorry It's now in Belgium with a fellow Basschatter, the bass not the cupboard!

It was a lovely bass to play.


R.

I have tried a few octavers and now have an MXR Octave Deluxe and it's by far the best, I can't get mine to track as low as BTGAndy though.

Cheers for the refin price info.


I vote for off white with a red tort pickguard.


R.

Not wishing to hijack the thread but roughly how much is a refinish? I'm after a Lakland Skyline but don't like a lot of the limited colours, although it's wasted money I have thought about buying one and having it changed to a colour I like.
