Just so folk know, I have now found the low B I thought I had! It's a taper core, .130 but from the "Burner" nickel string series.

Weekend bump.

Still here. Offers invited.

Hi Matt, sorry my friend, but I don't have a spare after all.

[quote name='funnyfreddie' post='330278' date='Nov 16 2008, 09:11 PM']I played Garth's (WalBass-nice bloke too) K.Smith bass a long time ago at OBBM's when we met and remembered what quality the bass felt in my hands. More of a bass than I'll ever be a player to do it justice but the feel good factor[/quote]

(blushes)

No interest?

Still here.

What scale length is this bad boy?

[quote name='walbassist' post='291837' date='Sep 25 2008, 02:05 PM']Thank you sir. Glad you're liking the Jazz.[/quote]

Still available

Matt, I use Smith strings and may have a spare low B. I'll check and get back to you.

[quote name='funkygreega' post='329892' date='Nov 15 2008, 09:41 PM']Nathan East was on acoustic bass[/quote]

I may be wrong, as he is a Yamaha endorsee of course, but I think NE used a Guild B30 ABG?

[quote name='wombatboter' post='329990' date='Nov 16 2008, 08:56 AM']I noticed that you put this neck for sale on German ebay.... a daring BIN -price must I say.[/quote]

I deliberately went [i]very[/i] high with the BIN but I'm really interested in offers. However, if someone bites at the BIN then that's even better.

No longer for sale

I've always fancied one of these as they look so beautiful.

I've been told these are give a more uprightish tone than a fretless electric mwah, although I suspect that may be down to string preference.

Ejoy, should be stunning...

[quote name='walbassist' post='318519' date='Oct 30 2008, 05:06 PM']Would you post it? I am well interested if so![/quote]

And why's it got feet on the side?

Would you post it? I am well interested if so!

I think I've found the original post that has caused this. I assume it escalated somewhat in the PMs Steve?

I know Ken can be fairly brusque, but this is sad indeed.

Forgive my ignorance, but what speaker configuration does this cab contain? Also be interested to know dimensions, weight and power rating etc.

Spalt maple looks great when you whack the gloss finish on.....





Looks like it'll be an awesome bass. Martin's work is always superb.

Cheers

Gareth

Great cabs, I think the Goliath II series were the best SWR ever made!

We don't know yet until Paul Herman (who is resurrecting the company following Pete's retirement) clears the basses on backorder and then begins production of his new line.

It's quite a bit more than my Mk III cost NEW two years ago, and that included a spare neck!

I snapped a few pics over the weekend to show the details of this bass.

They were taken with flash so they aren't the best, but they do show the fantastic attention to detail and finish on the bass.
