SJA Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 chunky die-cast bridge (but still original), like the type later used on G&L basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 and its mine for a pretty stonking price. Year, probably around 1984. Neck might potentially be like a banana but I've got both I & II versions now and the two pickups mean I can gig the Cutlass II on the motown and disco stuff without changing instrument. Oh. Yes. Gotta love that cuttlary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a steal. If you can make the bassbash and it gets delivered before then I'll probably bring both Celinders and both Cutlasses for people to have a go on. You could try them out then?

Hiperi0n Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 eheh yeah no problem...infact i didn't put a so high bid..i didn't want to spend too much on that bass...so it's right you got it! the bassbash would be cool to be there...but i'm from Rome-Italy..so it's a long trip maybe in the next editions anyway i wait a review of the bass enjoy it!!!

He scored a Cutlass 1 off Ebay in the middle of last year so also has the pair. Only his are both in matching black. I quite like the white, its a bit different and I have another black bass anyway. BTW, Steve Turner played with my band a few weeks back at the Dorchester. He mentioned that he knows you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry[/quote] Hahaha, yeah we talked about that with him as we had been asked to do similar gigs too. We've decided not to for the most part but still have to face learning 4 of them in a 20min medley for the Marbella gig. Oish, VERY tedious songs. I can usually find something to like in most music but those songs are mind numbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The bass arrived today. Delivered without a case - not even a gig bag. Luckily the courier was careful! So the good news is that the neck is pretty good, particularly for an '84 bass. The neck needs a bit of a shim (more tricky with a 4 bolt neck because of the lack of a microtilt feature) but otherwise looks OK. The bass is pretty good nick otherwise, even still has the crusty old foam on the mutes! The bad news however is that the bridge side coil in the neck humbucker doesn't work. I've tested the connections with a multimeter and the windings around the coil appear to have broken at some point. The other coil is reading fine so it looks like I'm either going to have to get the coil rewound to the same impedance OR get a replacement sabre neck pickup from somewhere. I've asked the seller (who was selling it on behalf of his Son who is overseas at the moment) what he suggests we do about the extra cost the coil repair is going to require...
