Kai Eckhardt was playing these basses IIRC.

These are sensational basses. I've only seen a few come up on Ebay (say, 3 or 4 over the last 6 or 7 years), and they always attract a lot of attention.

I had one of these a few years ago and I'd own another in a shot, but what ever you do get the schematic for the internal preamp dip switches (I may even still have the pdf) before you start messing about with the options! :huh:

I had mine totally disassembled as it had quite a bit of flaking to the lacquer (not uncommon) and I was stripping the body wood back (bubinga) and oiling it. When I put it back together I started messing about with the EQ options and there are certain combinations of dip switches that give you a feedback loop :) not good if you have it plugged into your amp and turned up. :huh:

If you are into headless style basses these really are a great alternative to Status etc.

<edit>

Mine was probably one of those few on eBay. :huh:

You lucky bugger!!

I always liked the preamp/pickups in these, it's quite a different sound to other headless basses I've tried. Very "zingy" top end, if I remember correctly.
