Apparently it's very rare and collectable...

Erm, yeah

Ah - [url="http://edfriedland.com/equipment/1/10"]Ed Friedland has one of these and would seem to love it.[/url] These were made by Egmond, a dutch company in the 60s, and I bought something very similar from dangerboy a while ago. It has a more Precision like shape and is without the gorgeous vinyl covering, but aside from that (and a different selector switch) is identical to the one in that auction.

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27538&hl=egmond"]Check out the pics in his ad.[/url]

I actually wanted the whole vinyl/mother of toilet seat/Jag-style cheeseyness of one like Ed's, but dangerboy's one does me just fine. It sounds great incidentally, as long as you like 60's style retro thump!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='486495' date='May 12 2009, 11:12 PM']The bass in the OP reminds me of the (IIRC) Gibson RD bass... weren't they pants as well? :) Only joking Gibbo owners. :rolleyes:[/quote]


They weren't that great in the grand scheme of things but were one of Gibson's best basses IMHO, Probably says more about Gibson basses than that model in particular!

I had a well gigged '77 RD Artist in all natural, managed shy of £500 for it which makes this look extremely overpriced

My first bass was a Bass 7 by Rosetti. It was utter, utter sh*te. I see that there's a [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110387814502"]neck and body for one on ebay[/url] for a ridiculous price. In fact there's a singlecut double pickup version of the one I had, with a similar ghastly greenburst, for £500 in another auction.
