Once you've decided to sell a bass, best left in the case in my experience...

Ahh, Linda Ronstadt...

"Hasten down the Wind" was one of my favourite albums as a pubescent young man in the late 1970s.

Looking at the cover I can't imagine why

Some genuine interest in the bass from a few folk but nothing definite yet, so a gentle bump...

Incredible price for a bass of this vintage. If I was a 6 player I'd take it as it'd make a lovely stablemate for my 1994 Smith 5, but sadly I'm not.

NOW SOLD

[quote name='jmanfunk' post='142772' date='Feb 18 2008, 09:44 PM']Removing the ramp would leave more than just four holes. The centre was routed to fit it same as you would fit pups. Its mounted on a piece of foam, is completely adjustable to suite various playing styles and can be retracted into the bass if needs be. And it adds to the overall aesthetic of the bass I think [/quote]

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Sadly, to me it makes the bass less appealing (and this from a guy who usually has no problem with ramps), but vive la difference eh!

I love Chris' work. Very singular designs but really well put together. I hope you get what you want for it.

Would I be right in thinking that removing the ramp would leave four holes in the body?

I have been surfing the internet too long. I can tell the fretted bass came from Electromusic and the fretless from BassNW just from the pics!

I'll get me coat...

PS Nice basses.

Why not get the SWR Grand Prix pre in the for sale section. Absolutely top notch bit of kit.

Bump.

Still here.

Quick update. Two items sold.

Not 100% sure because of the picture quality, but am I right in thinking this is a defret?

Valentine's bump

[quote name='gilmour' post='136791' date='Feb 8 2008, 07:03 PM']I really like that, but can;t find it on their website ?[/quote]

[url="http://www.elrick.com/classic/6_1-cut_Wal.htm"]It's here[/url]

Don't forget Elrick. I had two of his basses and they were lovely...



The Marleaux M Bass also looks lovely.

I'd recommend the Elixir acoustic bass strings. They are expensive but they last for ages, feel great, sound great and almost eliminate "finger squeak"!
