Up again -
I've bought a couple of basses from Phil. Top chap to deal with.

I'll be going this year. I've been to them all except last year because I had a gig. Stevie, Pris and Gary do an amazing job organising a great event for bass players, and anyone who can get there should give it a go. Ear plugs might be a good idea though....I like a bit of [i]tasteful[/i] slap if it's done well, but having sat with ACG and John East opposite the EBS stand I can tell you, we were ready to ram a Precision head first through the front of their gear just to shut the [i]deafening[/i] slappers up that haunt the place year in year out.

[i]Wowzer[/i].....that's lovely. -
Just the Gary Willis bass left now. Any offers? You won't find a better example at this price!
-
PMs all now replied to I think, sorry for the delay.
-
I guess at the time people didn't realize how good they were, and just wanted it to say USA on it. God knows why.
-
I wonder whether the "Made In Japan" could be cleaned up and restored somehow, even if it wasn't a perfect job, it would look nicer. Gorgeous bass, I'm very tempted.

First off, you love the 4 string Jazz, so that has to stay. I'd agree from the point of view of not getting a similar bass in a 5 string version, as tonally it'll be similar to the 4 string. So if it was [i]me[/i], I'd be thinking of getting either a Stingray 5 or maybe something like a Sandberg PM5 with a Precision/Musicman configuration, then you really have got all basses covered.

Some new pictures: SR505: GWB-35: Sorry about the poor quality, they were taken on my phone, and the sky clouded over the moment I started taking them.
-
Both Ibanezes (Ibanii ?) are still available. SR505 - [b]SOLD[/b] GWB35 - £325
-
I feel faint......that's truly beautiful. Just how a proper bass should look. -
The Prosebass is gone, and the SR505 is pending a sale. Any offers on the GWB-35? I've seen them go for a lot more than my asking price.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1257787' date='Jun 5 2011, 09:01 PM']T'was a Jo Osborne neck, not a 55-01. If that bass weighed two pounds less, I'd still own it. Best B-string I've ever heard, and I've had some VERY good 5-string basses.[/quote] AHH OK, cheers for that. Yeah, it's really cracking bass, the Low B is as good as it gets.
-
The Prose is sold pending the usual. Thanks for the interest so far.
-
I know mate, but that's what I paid, so I'll pass the good will onwards.

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112414&hl=PROSEBASS"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;hl=PROSEBASS[/url] [b][size=3]SOLD[/size][/b] Korean (better than the newer ones) Ibanez SR505. Fab bass, bought it recently on a whim but just don't need it. Very light, big tone, lovely player, a few marks and dings but nothing major. [b][size=3]SOLD[/size][/b] and finally: An Ibanez GWB-35 fretless, again, a really lovely bass, nice condition, one small mark under one of the pickups otherwise faultless, fantastic tone and playability, no case, and I'd like [b]£325[/b] for it please. I'm after cash to raise funds for something else, so I'm not after trades on these thanks. I'm in Macclesfield, but can travel around to meet you somewhere within reason as I'd rather not post, but will do if needs be. Thanks for looking.

WOWZER!!! That's beautiful. -
I don't know about "clearly unwell", I think clearly pissed sums that clip up pretty well. He's acting like I did last Friday night after half a bottle of Famous Grouse.

It never ends. I've gone through maybe 40+ basses over the last ten years in an endless search for nirvana, and never find it. If you have a bass in your possession, in your case the Jag, that you really connect with, hang on to it with all your might. I've let "keepers" slip through my fingers when I'm overcome with GAS, and regretted it ever since. I've actually gone full circle from when I first joined the forum years ago and ended up back on a Stingray as my main bass, so maybe I should just stop there, but I doubt it. As far as your Ric goes, there's no point in having a quality bass gathering dust, if it aint your bag, as much as you want it to be, maybe you should move it on. I [i]really[/i] wanted to love my Sadowsky, Overwater, ESP, etc etc but it just didn't work out with them, so away they went, and I'm back on a Stingray once again. If you can afford to have a nice investment bass sitting in its case unused, keep the Ric. If you can't, ship it out.
