back on the 'bay...

Hi guys,

This bass was a special order originally placed by me with Musicman. I think it took about 16 weeks to arrive, and i was made up when it arrived.

The grain of the Ash on the body is really tidy and even, and the bass is not too heavy at all.

I think at the time I paid £1400+ for it. The current list for one of these is a lot more than that now.

The typical Stingray sounds, plus the added versatility of the extra pickup make for a fantastic and very useable bass. The Piezo is really good for acoustic moments, and with a bit of twiddling and palm muting, you can get some decent upright-esque sounds.

Would love to hear it with the Graphite neck! It really was special enough with the original neck!


If i wasn't in sales mode too, i'd have this back.

Best of luck with the sale Mike - any potential buyers rest assured; a top bloke to deal with.

EDIT - Just for the people who don't know controls are vol/pickup blend/treb/mid/bass

You just wouldn't ever buy anything from them would you?! Sharks of the highest order.

I always think you'd drop one of their instruments and find rust spots filled newspaper and filler then oversprayed.

It's not a 59...

I'm no Overwater expert, but it doesn't look like an Overwater at all.

The fit and Finish certainly don't.

He refers to 'her' needing a 'tender home' too, so he lost me there, even if it was a full blown Overwater for £10.

They're interesting, but about £1700 i think.

Thy look like some of Carey Norstrands non-Jazz like instruments, which is interesting as there are some new SR 'Premium' models with Nordstrand fat singles on them, and Nordstrand Eq's, for about £850, which look fantastic.

1983 SQ Squier Japan Precision...

Non Original, but cool as anything.

This stands next to a Custom Shop Jazz and shares my playing 50/50.

At About 4mins in...

This is the bass sound in my head today - Flatwounds and a Pick...yummy.

miss my Hofner Cavern, too skint at this moment in time to help you, but if i was buyig another Hofner, this would be it - beautiful.
Good price too!

It is genuine, having looked again but it just looks 'wrong'.

Mah.

It's not a real Fender, as far as I can tell.

Now it's on the 'bay on my brothers account (he has a history of selling music gear on eBay, and i don't).

Hope somone from here ends up with it, a truly special instrument.

I'd love to keep it, but a very patient fellow BC'er will appreciate the £550 towards the Custom Shop Jazz i've taken off his hands.

It's going on the bay in the next day or two, just got to retake a few phots.

Reserve will be £550, so please give me a shout if any BC'er want it, and i'll pull it, or not put it on at all!

Played it earlier, still in love with it! But, needs must.

I played this bass while it was in Loz' possesion, and had I not just bought a bass from him, i'd be trying to get the readies for this.

What a superb instrument.

ebay it seems for this beauty,

eBay as of Sunday.

Need to pay for the CS Jazz i've just acquired...

Really do not want to sell this, took far too long to find one.

I'd own this.

The Epi Jack Casady is based upon this model, and i loved mine when i had it.

£2400 short, as luck would have it.

It's not a Cirrus, it's a DynaBass.

They were about £200 at the turn of the millenium, passive nice bass, for a cheapo.

Barky bridge pickups...

First Bass Owned:
Yamaha BB300 (Still Got This).

'Go To' Bass:
Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass 64 Relic, it's just arrived, and i'm refusing to let it out of my sight...this will be my main bass from now on in.

'Your' Bass:
Squier SQ Precision Bass, modded with J Pickup in the Bridge position, BadAss II etc. Just sounds like me, nice 27 Year Old Jap Squier.

bump

sound clip...

too much, as in too much to take in??

It's a lovely thing, re. The PM about sound samples, i'll try and sort something over the weekend. Everything i have with it on is full band recordings.

Dots, just for Tom...

And the impossible to photograph 'wear' on the board...

I have these in higher resolution, very happy to send them to personal e-mails.

I'm in meetings all tomorrow, but will answer questions on lunch break and after end of working day.

Hope these help.

Andy

The 424's are fantastic basses, not seen a fiver yet, but i'm a huge fan of the thinking on the entire new crop of BB's.

Wish I had the dough for a 2024x
