JJW Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Has anyone seen something like this, I quite like the idea. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575090229&toolid=10001&campid=5337531593&customid=&icep_item=221685308304&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Westone Rail? Interesting 80s oddity made by Matsumoku. In fact I think there might be one or two owners lurking around on BC. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Always wanted one but they go for too much to be a curiosity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 An old bandmate of mine had one. It sounded surprisingly normal, but that might have been the decade-old strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've got one, bought from FlatEric three or four years ago. I like it; compact, lots of tonal range, solid feel to it. I'll not be getting rid any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweringthetone Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 STrangely I got form FlatEric too ! Great sound to me, versatile I would say. Surprisingly easy to play. Compact, so a useful bass in a crowded pub session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Adams Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Is FlatEric sawing up Steinies and Hohners to make The Rail copies. I think the moveable pickup idea is still being utilised, but can't for the life of me remember by whom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Rotten Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Not quite sure what possessed the photography to take pictures in the cold, damp snow. Can't have been too healthy for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
