Mykesbass

Henry Lowther and Jim Mullen - used to do a regular pub gig in Catford together. Two great muso's both with amazing histories, playing a free boozer gig in South London - now that's British Jazz for you!

Some people shouldn't be allowed near a musical instrument! Good luck with the restoration - hope you keep us posted.

Looks like it's going to go up a bit from £62 then!

Couldn't find a postable clip - the youtube ones link elsewhere, but just been learning "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt - lovely fretless from James Hatchinson.

[quote name='wesfinn' post='831732' date='May 8 2010, 08:29 PM']This bass isnt connected with Colin Fitch or Fitch Guitars. It looks worth a punt though if the price stays low! Nice looking neck.[/quote] Fitch - of course - been a while since I was up Suffolk way and the old memory is err, what was I saying? Thanks for the eagle eyed spot Wes!

Anyone know of Finch Basses - I know Colin Finch is/was linked with Zoot/Iceni - do you think they'r connected?

Have been gassing for a traditional bass - really wanted a fretless, but seeing what people have been saying about the CV's on here, thought I should check them out. Had just a small job in Brighton today so when I finished, I drove down to GAK (great having a Transit, parked in the loading bay under the watchful eye of 6 wardens and got away with it), to try them out. Having thought I didn't like P Basses - tried a US one with the most enormous neck once, I wanted to try a P and a Jazz together. The quality was, as everyone has been saying, incredible. Checked a Vintage Mod, a Mexican and an Aerodyne and none of them had the same lovely feel that the CV's had. What's more, the P did it for me, so next week, once my Ebay buyer has collected, I'll be the most happily surprised owner of a Squier P Bass - something that before I'd come on here I never thought I would say!

Seems a fairly honest response.

I asked last night for serial number/country of manufacture - no reply yet......

Just where exactly does that spike at the end of a violin go?

STill, found some more stuff to sell - now where did I put that granny

[quote name='Balcro' post='826853' date='May 3 2010, 09:31 PM']Do not despair. What was the fretless that kept you awake at night? Balcro. PS. No, I don't have one for sale.[/quote] Just from the pictures it has that vibe [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85336&hl=tokai"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85336&hl=tokai[/url] Now everyone's going to want it!

Just sold my Korean Aria SB on the bay for (no I can't bring myself to say it), so now can't get anywhere near the fretless I was hankering for on here. Anyone found the GAS wonder cure?

Less than hour to go and it is under offer.....

Ending this evening - shortly before 7.30.

What a cracking post - thanks The Funk. Even had some classic "Bass Faces" going on!

Finishes tomorrow (Monday) just before 7.30.

I use them the opposite of most of the other posts - in slower numbers to get that laid back, almost lazy, blues feel - Need Your Love So Bad for example.
