That's just amazing, what a stunning looking bass, best of luck.

Ha.......that's a stunning looking bass. You'd have to have some balls stepping out with it for a gig, but man, that's a looker.

Wooaahh WAL alert...... Beautiful, [i]beautiful[/i], instruments............one day.

Looking forward to getting my hands on it .

Good choice Alan, I was close to snapping that up myself.

Yeah I know Ray, it's really an outstanding bass, but it's wasted on me, I tend to pound seven shades of you know what out of basses. This one deserves [i]way[/i] more respect than that. Soundwise, big thumping bottom end, and a nice clear top from the bridge pup, the TV Jones's are brilliant. I just need some more mid attack. Dr Phibes, I'm in a covers band, RHCP, U2, Stereophonics, Muse etc. mrcrow, I'd have had your arm off at one point, but having just moved a Stingray on, I fancied something different. It looks very very nice though.

Btw Russ, the Trace rig I bought off you last year is still going strong and sounding great Cheers Have a bump on me Cheers Gary[/quote] Brilliant mate, happy to hear it, it was a great amp that. I don't miss carrying it though

Squi...Sq....San....Sandberg.....it might work you know?

Ha ha, are you sure Pete?? There might be one there somewhere !

More pics:

I've only had this bass a few days, but having gigged it and rehearsed with it, I've decided it's not quite for me, as much as I love the thing. Pics taken on my phone, sorry about that, my camera is playing up. Anyway, it's only a few months old, and is almost unmarked. It's fitted with TV Jones Thundertron pickups, which are fabulous sounding, and currently fitted with brand new D'Addario Pro Steel [i]medium[/i] scale, which is what it requires, not the short scale strings you might think it needs. What can I say?? It's stunning, and rare, I've never seen one before. This bass was a very reasonable £1300 a few months ago, so I'm after £850, no offers, sorry. Tradewise? Sandberg PM4 or PM5, Marcus Miller 4 or 5, Warwick Streamer Stage 1 or 2. I'll listen to other ideas though. It comes in it's Gretsch TKL hard case, and I can deliver within reason, I'm in Manchester, sorry Cornwall or Scotland are a bit far!! Gutted this baby didn't work out for me, and I [i]REALLY[/i] hope someone will give this superb instrument a good home.
