Holy Crap - that is gorgeous!
I've seen Adamovic stuff before and it always looked nice, but never really stood out from the pack, but that thing's given me a semi ;)

I was relatively GAS-free, until I saw Ieuan's gorrrrrrrrgeous Sandberg California JM5 last weekend... ;)
Either that or a Lakky DJ5 in white would do me fine.

Oh yes, those I like. I'm a sucker for art deco too. I [i]so[/i] nearly bought a late '20s Italian walnut & birdseye maple bed frame on fleabay last year, hideously expensive but my god it was utterly beautiful.

It's a 'flip top' B15 combo. See Motown for details :P

Wow that is beautiful! Can't believe it's actually a low budget instrument. But then my mate has a lovely Aria Les Paul copy.

ooh i'll also add the bass i've had GAS for pretty much since i began playing bass and never got round to buying -

[attachment=20682:hoppus.jpg]

mark hoppus jazz, preferably in white, but any colour would make me happy. i dunno why i never got round to getting one, i suppose they're too expensive, and you don't see many second hand. i'm not sure what it is about the hoppus jazz, i'm more of n active bass person really, but i think its something to do with the sheer simplicity of the bass. it could also be that blink 182 were my favourite band for ages, and theyre still one of my favourites now. i don't know really, but theres still GAS for a hoppus jazz bass there, deep down, i've just learned to live with it. i still get that twinge of longing when i see one though.

Yeah, they are quite cool, though I always considered them to be more of a P with a J style pickguard/control plate.

Also, I guess you've heard Blink have are reforming.

i dunno if you've noticed, but theres no control plate, its a 1 piece pickguard.

when you think about it, if you were to buy a mex precision and put a quarter pounder pickup in, you've got a better bass, cos its just the same but with a tone control and a different shaped body. doesn't stop them being much cooler though ;)

[quote name='Seb_C' post='417457' date='Feb 23 2009, 02:36 PM']I was looking at an Aria in the local shop on Saturday. Pretty fancy looking, but compaired to a Squier of the same sort of price range the build quality (neck pocket, pickup routes) looked pretty ropey.[/quote]
was it a gt?? cant find anything to complain about on mine really! pocket and routing as good as any it seems.
