Where in Swansea are you fella? Any chance of a trial run?

I'm tempted by this, the only thing that's pitting me off the the details either side of the sound holes look a little like sperm to my eyes.

Nice lookin' though perhaps it's something to do with the Trace Elliot/Ashdown change over Patents... etc.[/quote] If it's any where near as good as a T-bass that is in no way a bad thing. Ask any owner! The only issue I see is that this is more expensive than a second hand trace and a little less traditional looking.

Damn! Well if I win the lottery in the near future it's mine

He modded his Spoiler by fitting Series 1 controls to it (and a hard-to-see pickguard as he sweats so much it was going into the pickup cavities - yuk). Mine is simple by comparison with volume and tone filter knobs, a rotary pickup selector (which has a useful 'off' position for total silence) and a 'Q' switch (which subtly changes frequencies, making it a bit deeper).[/quote] Fair enough! I dread to think what they all do..... Tis a lovely looking bass this. I'd love to take this off you. Sadly I'll never have £14,000 to spend on a bass as long as I have a hole in my arse

am I trippin' or are there eight control nobs on the one newstead is pictured with?

I have one of these. It's undoubtedly the best cab I've ever had. It's more than slightly fridge like in terms of size and weight though. No rig is complete without one. Btw mine lives just behind my front door because it physically will not go any further into the house!

Stroke of genius that! I love this bass

What's the groove above the neck pickup for?

Pissed off that I couldn't quite afford this. Ahh well. There'll be more!

I was thinking along the same lines. I'm looking for sound files or a you tube vid of a graphite one but they're all wood. I've very recently fallen in love with status. I think they're an aquired taste. Like Guinness

Do the all graphite ones sound drastically different to the wood and graphite?

I feel bad for you. Hope she finds a good home. Really is a beautiful thing that! Atleast you had the chance to own it.

Don't do it!

Lodestones parent company is ashdown? I didn't think they'd be into wood.
