ash Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Cheers Karl it is and I probably will but I tend to use my Grabber for blues and straight rock gigs these days as I don't worry about the old girl like I do this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admiral Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 An old friend of mine had one of these, which he bought new in 1963, and it was a fabulous bass. It had been repaired, after a fall from the stand took the head off in about 1975(!), but the luthier made a fantastic job of it, and you'd be hard pushed to know. He played it through a 1960s Vox AC50, and a Vox 1x 18. Not a man looking for sparkling high end tones, as you can imagine. Sounded awesome - a real trouser flapper and perfect for Beatles and Stones stuff. I wish I had the cash. GLWTS - great basses, and a collectors item for the future I'm sure.

Fortunately this one has kept its head all these years and other than the cosmetic dings it has no structural issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
