bubinga5 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I bought a jazz bass many years ago from the bass gallery. Sold it back 2011 I think. Would love to know who has it etc. Its an Ostinato Jazz bass. Aguilar obp2 preamp and EMG pickups if I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryancowell25 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Birdseye maple neck, Rose wood board. Bit of a mystery where it came from originally but a great example of a super jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a difficult thing to work out! the name is a registered trademark... https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00002427731 the owner of that trade Mark is easily searched and pops up with a fella who builds basses still under a different marque https://www.anacondabasses.co.uk/about-anaconda-basses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryancowell25 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Well I contacted Andrew Taylor-Cummins from Anaconda Basses who had this to say - "Thank you for getting in touch and for reminding me of this Bass. I’m very excited to see it, as I sometimes wondered what had happened to the handful of Ostinato Basses, that were built prior to Anaconda Basses. It is indeed a very early Anaconda Bass, before I decided to go full-time building Basses. Ostinato Basses were effectively the fore-runner of Anaconda Basses. It would probably have been built around 2010-2011. I’m pretty sure the body is Idigbo, The Top is definitely Lacewood. My recollection is that they were Killer Basses. Then again, i am biased" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 and here is Andrew's website. Some great looking basses available and custom builds https://www.anacondabasses.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I was a stand in for a bassist that let them down so excuse the music and playing.Im a little proud of my fill at 1.30 mind. 😆... It had a really fat tone as I remember. I must be getting my years wrong. This vid was published in 2009, so the bass was possibly purchased before 2010. 🤔 Edited November 14, 2020 by bubinga5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
