Beedster Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Can't help thinking that this is the best bass for sale on here at present. Michael, if you fancy a maple fretless Precision, give me a shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Cheers, Chris! Yours is a stunner - if I didn't have my '71 fretless I would have taken you up on your offer. While I'm on, here's a clip from a couple of weeks ago. Using flats, with the neck pickup solo'd in series for big, fat notes. This is just one of the sounds... it also does classic 60s J, back pickup burp and sizzly slap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRZt8AeR974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) As I mentioned on WoT's previous For Sale thread, if someone is looking for a Fender bass that will be the Holy Grail for future collectors then this is that bass . These were a superb design with many unique features made in very small numbers. More's to the point, they sound great and play superbly well, as well as being very comfortable. These basses are already rare, but give it a few years and their desirability-factor will be going through the roof, as will the price, in all likelihood. Definitely "one to watch" as far as future investment goes. Edited January 2, 2014 by Dingus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybass Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1375548113' post='2162809'] Right... here we go again. It hurts to sell this... rarer than hen's teeth - I doubt you'll find another sunburst in the UK. Custom shop quality. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Roscoe_Beck_Bass"]Info here[/url]. £1200, complete with the factory fitted case, originally supplied bits (including a perspex ramp) and additional custom-made tort pickguard (hand-made by Howard the Bass Doc). It's a lovely light weight (but not a lightweight!). Will consider trades involving lightweight vintage P's, or other interesting P / P/J things. This pic shows the only flaw in the bass which I've just noticed - a little bit of the plating is coming off one of the saddles. Purely cosmetic: Here's a little video what I made... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXoxhOYBv7c[/media] Local collection (Newcastle-ish) preferred. Shipping considered. Go on. You know you want to. [/quote] Excellent recording basses too...

ezbass Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1388691837' post='2324969'] Excellent recording basses too... [/quote]One of the few signature basses (Fender at least) that really seemed to listen to the artist that is name checked; so given that RB is both a live and studio hound it comes as no surprise that this bass excels in every arena.
