    I don't think Fender would ever offer the Urge bass pickup combination on any 'mainstream' product of theirs. Okay, the Urge sounds nothing like a traditional P or J bass, but if they offered that pickup combo on a Mexican made bass they'd cut their sales in half! Thats one of the likely reasons the Urge Standard (MIM) only had two singlecoil pickups.

    Michael Manring's tone is quite simply incredible. Which it needs to be, to match his superb playing.

    Which part of the country are you based in, Retroman? And did Warwickhunt once own this one?

    That is a fantastic price for this bass! Ken's work is definitely most popular in the US, but he is definitely one of the best and still something of a hidden secret in Europe, despite having made amazing basses for over 20 years. Quite simply, this must be one of the finest basses ever sold on this site. The quality of the woodworking looks stunning. He also made a nice guitar for James Hetfield. http://filepit.freewebs.com/montyjay/jamesguitars/KLEXP/jamesklexpbw.jpg

    Beautiful. And the price is...?
  6. Chris2112
    How this hasn't sold yet, I'll never know. I am quite sure it's a stunning instrument.
  7. Chris2112
    That sounds like a great evening out!

    I take it they're fairly easy to turn? They look as though you need to use a screwdriver to turn them round!

    Thats never an Epiphone! With that wildly slanted pickup! Far too much for conservative Gibson!

    Yes, I used to have a Hohner Jack headless bass. Nothing special, but not dire either. The Spirit range of Steinbergers are piss poor though, I'd avoid those at all costs.

    They have an amazing growling tone, when played right. Geddy Lee got a fantastic sound from his. There is nothing else quite like them. We are poorer for the fact they are no longer made.

    To be fair, they do look pretty boring!

    Very nice! Someone obviously loves padauk!
  14. Chris2112
    I think you might be right!

    You'll love this bass, Dean.

    To me the Thumb looks more like an Ovangkol body and a three piece wenge neck. Which is what it would be if it were a standard bolt on model of that era. It's not a custom shop model, is it?
  17. Chris2112
    That does look too bad for a Les Paul shape, what is it?
  18. Chris2112
    And the first payment has been received. For all itents and purposes, this is now sold. Thanks for looking, folks!

    That Alembic Series I there is nice. Pricey though...

    This one is easy... Wooten has always had amazing bass tone. This is just incredible. I love the sparkle it has. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcgzpmzCCI0

    Give Alan at ACG a ring, I suspect he'll be able to get 7 string sets of SIT strings since he has started selling them. Always worth a punt, though you might end up ordering a bass over the telephone!

    I should add that Phil is a fantastic bloke to do business with, and very courteous. When I bought my first Kubicki (I've had two now) he gave me his phone number and asked me to call if I had questions about the bass, namely to do with string changing!
  23. Chris2112
    You could always give Jon a ring. I rang him once when Iw as thinking of buying a stock bass from him and he was very helpful and chatty on the phone, really nice bloke.

    [quote name='MB1' timestamp='1317065804' post='1386365']These pair. I must have been insane. I don't even like thinking about it. Oh the pain. [attachment=90280:king and S2 001.jpg] MB1. Cocabola series one status kingbass (16.5 mm string spacing with bendwell and swichable side and front face L.e.ds) .................Go and sit on the naughty step John![/quote] Looks just like the one Mark King was playing the first time I saw Level 42 live! His Status sound is by far his best, no doubt!

    That LJ video always makes me laugh because the bass sounds like a butter tub with rubber band strings.
