That's lush. I used to have an elite II in white. I think they're pretty much the same electronically. How are you finding the neck profile and narrow string spacing? I think I'd have kept mine had it been a natural finish. The white and gold was a bit glam for me.

I don't really get on with active basses though. But yeah, something along those lines

This thread is giving me terrible explorer GAS. Has anyone ever produced one with two P pickups? If not i may have to commission one with them..... Or a pair of di marzio model ones.

Budgie wouldn't have been right without Burke Shelley either.

I like these too, wonky pickup or not. How much freedom do sandberg give you? If you wanted a P neck would they do it?

RATM and Timmy C springs to mind.

[quote name='ryancowell25' timestamp='1355255040' post='1896063'] Sorry I think that's the one I won last week. Arrived today and a quick clean up and some new DR Hi Beams on it................. I know people say they are good but i'm absolutely blown away - it just sounds incredible. [/quote] Pics?!

I suppose you could always put a set of thunder buckers or something in it. It has that awful bridge aswell though.

Always fancied an explorer. I fear this may just be a pointy thunderbird though. Pickups look the same. The original explorer bass had the pickups out of the grabber, which are amazing.

I'm pretty sure it is. I don't mind a skinny radius but I need that wide nut. That's the only thing that puts me off the bass. I'm sure if you wanted to go US you could get a fat neck.

I've been fancying one of these too, just the J neck puts me right off.

I've had various Jap and Mex fenders in my time, and every one I've felt needed at least some modding (mostly due to the weak sounding pickups they all came with).

At the moment I love the Gretsh G5440LSB. It's a long scale hollow body beauty. I'd really like a white falcon but that's not gonna happen.

Just spotted this beauty online, it's an electromatic but costs over £800. Anyone played one? I want to know how it stacks up against a Jack Casady for instance.

Thank god! I've been waiting with baited breath

[quote name='Ultima2876' timestamp='1354369485' post='1885271'] Thanks! Also, someone needs to buy this, for the love of god: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/yamaha-bb1600-vintage-bass-guitar-1985/113263596 '85 BB1600? I'd take it if it wasn't in London (and if I didn't just spend £450 on a cab/amp)... [/quote] Is it modified? That looks like a knob where the switch should be.

Saw one of these in dawsons yesterday. Really want one now, but the black one.
