@three I need to come and knock that fretted cocobolo one’s face off...

It's in Scotland at the moment (with my brother) but as soon as we're allowed to congregate, you'd be very welcome indeed - it's been far too long.  Winter in the pennine foothills is such a lovely time... (as you'll know!)

I thought I’d posted a couple of pics of my ‘bic ages ago, but looks like I haven’t.

1976 long scale S1 with birdseye maple facings; imported from the US (in the days before  customs charges became crippling).    I tend to gig with my Warwick (LX Streamer Jazzman) these days*, but the S1 is a lovely old beastie.......:i-m_so_happy:

*Edit: when we actually were gigging, of course.......:|

It was hollow. All Series basses are hollow and you can request it for a custom. It was still around 10 lbs though, similar to my Wal Pro and the Dolphin. Shame because standing I found the shape extremely comfortable. Seated, not so much. 😉
