wateroftyne Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 This just dropped through my letterbox this morning... It's in remarkable nick, and a perfect weight. The proof is in the gig pudding, but so far... I love it. It's glorious. Gig tonight.. more pics & stuff to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Nice bass - I've been concerned that you don't have enough Fender basses from the early 70s too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks, folks! Hmm.. I look like I'm wearing a fat-guy suit in that clip. Acidbass - it's a tune by my band. It's called 'The Lambretta Twins'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Very nice - except for the knees. Is it still summer in the Geordie Delta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassatnight Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Awesome Bass! Nice Noodling, I even like the 'It ain't half hot mum obligatory shorts!' What happened to the summer by the way!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah.. unceremoniously sacked earlier in the year. It's Lonnie's old band now... great, but not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzajl Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 [quote]This just dropped through my letterbox this morning...[/quote] I hope you don't have a cat that sleeps on the doormat.

OutToPlayJazz Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Sounds great, mate... But I'd send it back and get a refund. It's all scratched and chipped! Just goes to show they don't make 38 year old basses like they used to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakenewmanbass Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I played that bass when John (slobluesline) brought it over when we were discussing a swap (turned out not) for my upright for his '64 jazz, He brought the '71 along too, very nice and I'm sure it will make you happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairobill Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Hey nice bass mr Wateroftyne! Very classy - how does it compare to your last one (was it a 73?) if that's not a tricky question? I seem to remember almost buying it (your old one about 2 years ago) but for some reason bought my Nash instead...can't remember why....Nick Edited September 9, 2009 by Cairobill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 You jammy b*st*rd! (actually, that should read jazzy!!!) That really is a definitive Jazz - superb! I'm not jealous at all..........!!!! Well done m8! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
