oggiesnr Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 At least it's properly aged and not by some wassock in a "custom" shop. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzbass2000 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 One of the few basses I like with a white (aged) scratch plate on. Is that neck pick up really low, and what are those screws heads behind the bridge pick up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If i were a lottery winner then maybe I'd buy it. but only if Norman fitted the baddass bridge back and taught me how to play Rhythm Stick properly with a pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 This is one of those moments when I'm genuinely relieved that I don't get on with Jazz basses ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 [quote name='Fuzzbass2000' timestamp='1350432416' post='1838948'] One of the few basses I like with a white (aged) scratch plate on. Is that neck pick up really low, and what are those screws heads behind the bridge pick up? [/quote] Very early Jazz basses had string mutes between the bridge and the bridge pickup. The price has come down quite a lot and it is a custom colour, the problem is it's not all original so won't appeal to many collectors. I think Norman is one of the greats and I love his playing, but he's probably not that well known outside bass playing / Blockhead circles so I'm not sure that makes this bass particularly valuable in the long term.

TheGreek Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe BC should buy it and start a museum for historic basses...I'm happy for it to be located in my flat..veiwing by appointment only.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
