  1. I think it lasted about a year (I want to say 1996, maybe earlier) they crop up very rarely. I’ve always quite fancied one.
  2. Sorry @LeftyJ - a comparison (I actually didn’t realise how close the JPB Jackson was) And until the previous post I’d never thought the Washburn looked like a Jerzy Drozd - but it’s quite blatant…
  3. Yeah. A very rudimentary take on it. not as close as when Jackson nicked Marleaux’s design…
  4. Well - this was booked quickly, I reached out and got a great basschat response… thanks to @mr zed and @Dankology we now have a full lineup for Sunday 26th June. So - Please come down to witness some Basschat magic. The Dog Inn at Belthorn, Sunday 26th June, 2pm-6pm. Beer/BBQ and Bass players 🤣

  5. Both 😉
  6. Now active on some platforms 😉
  7. The Fender Steve Harris is flake over LPB so it should really work as it’s the same principle- you have to stare at it like a magic eye photo… ”oh look a schooner!” ”ha it’s a sailboat…” ”a schooner is a sailboat…”
  8. Teal - £1350 Red - £1450 Bump
  9. this… And it’s why I’ll always want a Musicmaster.
  10. There we go 😉
  11. No. just means the stairs and landing carpet can last another 12 months 😆
  12. I might’ve sent an email - need both current ray5’s to go to justify it
  13. Erm. That blue burst 5
  14. I absolutely adore the colour, I know @marleaux62 and I have similar bass tastes - it’s stunning. I have to behave. Gear is leaving Travis towers currently…☹️
  15. It’s nicely weighted - having a mare with work so won’t get to weigh it tonight as I’m straight off to band…and the digital scales need a battery 🤦🏻
  16. same… extension means rest of house needs doing too so it all adds up.
  17. yeah - we’ll see. The wife’s shopping list for the extension is growing…
  18. Not sure on this - but Johnny Architect is nipping over to look at the extension plans next week and my wallet is sweating. Im 99% sure this is the second time I’ve owned this bass: they’re phenomenal. Desert gold, light weight (9lbs ish) and plays…well, not much effort required. It’s a 2004/5 - is showing some of its age - little nicks and the satin neck is shinier around frets 1-7. But it’s stunning. The typical little mark on the headstock (so many bongos get it) - but everything else is a stare at it for 10 minutes and spot it kind of thing. wearing new slinkies. no case - so need to sort something. £25 shipped no insurance £45/£50 insured or collection/tryouts welcome
  19. Just a beautiful bass… but, just signed off on a huge extension…so…got to behave. waited a long time to find one. replaced every screw - black pickguard screws, pickup screws etc. New Gotoh 201 Bridge as original bridge (will be included) was tarnished. Worth noting that screw hole pattern was different to 201 so holes were drilled and refilled by a luthier (Steve Curtis - Manchester guitar repair). Sound wise - think Marcus Miller…erm. Yeah that. Volume/Selector/bass/treble/mid select - you can adjust sweep and frequency of the mids - 3 selections available. some minor edge scratches/swirls - but it’s from the mid 90’s. Very clean overall. it’s stunning actually…might withdraw, see how we go. It will come in a Warwick Rockbag - so would prefer not to ship…but can at buyers risk/cost. £25 uninsured £45/£50 insured Happy for trials etc.
  20. Well. I did my usual. went mad and started buying multiples. just signed off on a massive extension so going to start moving gear: Comes with Musicman hardcase and spare white pickguard. 2000 - has the dummy coil, slightly hotter output than my 1993 Smoother sounding overall - Rosewood is delightful on the board. Maple neck is Birdseye all over. Pickguard is a musicman Pearl one from the 90’s and looks stunning. The original white is available (in some photos). At some point in its life it’s had a very high level finish repair near the mid knob - shows in daylight but untraceable by touch. i didn’t notice it until Bass direct had shipped it. Other than that, for 22 years there are some minor marks/scratches but at first glance…it’s in great condition. Buzzed like a bugger and was filthy when I got it: I spent plenty of time on making it right - it plays exactly the same as teal now. They’re magic. 10.6lbs shipping in the UK will be £45/50 insured, £25 uninsured (take your own insurance/risk) or you’re welcome to collect.
