wotnwhy Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 fantabluous collection there sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Fabulous collection! Love the Alembic - Drop me a PM anytime you fancy parting with it! I think Rob called your KingBass an Artist, as it's a standard with a special order gloss coloured finish. Yes, artists usually have the through neck, but yours is a sort of cross-hybrid between the two An "Art" or an "Ist"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's some other very nice basses in that collection too.. The Wal and the Tokai particularly.. So which ones do you still have then?

Macko1968 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 All been & gone I'm afraid. I'm terrible for buying & selling (as Eubassix will testify) & I am currently bassless. I've had issues for a few years with CTS in my left hand & I go through phases of not playing when things are bad. Currently I have a few bob spare, hand is good & I'm gassing for a nice Lakie again. Of the ones in the pictures, the Surine had the best neck, wafer thin, sounded great & was beautifully made - if anyone gets the chance to try one, do it. The JVs were all nice, I had all 4 at the same time, the fiesta red one was the best of the bunch. The Wal was a killer bass, the Alembic similarly so but very heavy. £ for £ though, the Laklands won hands down, unbelievable attention to detail & I'd kill for the green one back.
