  1. Yeah you're wrong it's sexy I'd love it if it was only worth a bite of a flapjack and half a Strongbow mate!
  2. BassmanKev...My Fender is worth more than £1500 and its all I play, I teach with it and I do a whole load of different kind of gigs from it and it's the only bass I've owned that I'm happy with... So am i just showing off? I can assure you I'm not rich!
  3. Surely if boxes is what you make, then boxes is what you aim to sell as many of as possible....
  4. I'm a big fan of that! wish i could justify another bass!
  5. Yeah mine's neck was super awesome cooltastic xl but thats still one stunning looking stingray, would definitely have that one back without a doubt, but had to sell to get my 72 jazz
  6. I had one just like that, stunning bass
  7. Hello, I'm selling this one as it really is just taking up space and not being played! Excellent sound from this thing, excellent combination of upgraded active bartolini pickups and a bartolini preamp (worth more than the bass, probably!). Generally in good condition, some war wounds but it's probably at least 10 years old, feels very sturdy and reliable and has a very reasonable playability, neck reminds me of a lakland 5502's Anyone who knows these basses will know they were astounding value for money, (I know a pro who still uses one of these!), with the added bonus of vastly upgraded electronics! Bridge saddle on the B string is far back as I think it's got the wrong scale length strings on, theyre almost new, though and will come with the bass. £170 anyone? If noone wants it i'll defret it and stick on a high C!

  9. I will stick to my ''dumb'' guns and add this... Balderdash! Particularly where frets are concerned, A/B tests are all well and good but i'd much prefer to see one where someone records 10 identical basslines, with the wood random throughout, and we can see how much those people who think it matters can really ''hear''!

  11. Mine was stunning in both playing and sound, but I dont like the lack of fret markers (it's like playing a bar of chocolate!) and the big phallic top horn makes people chuckle.
  12. End of the day, the biggest difference is a visual one, and sure, it adds to how you 'experience' playing the thing which can directly or indirectly influence the tone, but pickups and pickup location, strings and possibly bridge are, in my experience about 100000 times more decisive on the brightness or 'snap' or *insert vaguely understood word i.e ''growl'' here*
  13. I am subscribing to the 'what a fat load of crap' camp here.
  14. Nice, I have one in a reasonably rare wine red colour, do ask about the weight though, mine is incredibly heavy!
  15. Great price for something that is the best possible colour ever, ever.
