  1. Going to have a look this afternoon
  2. While we're asking... what are the necks like on these? All info gratefully received - thanks
  3. My Vox Standard is built something like that. [quote name='EMG456' timestamp='1384259098' post='2274488'] Here's my somewhat modded Antoria P. I've owned it for 35 years and it's a great bass. The second pic shows the laminated body construction. cheers Ed [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eddiem/10817952815/"]antoria_1[/url] by [url="http://www.flickr.com/people/eddiem/"]emg456[/url], on Flickr [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eddiem/10818081754/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eddiem/10818081754/"]antoria_2[/url] by [url="http://www.flickr.com/people/eddiem/"]emg456[/url], on Flickr [/quote]
  4. I'd be interested to know the heel width, please. It's probably 64mm or so, but I live in hope
  5. I bought a jazz-style scratchplate and pups. Nice clean efficient transaction, good comms, no issues. Thanks John
  6. Could you please edit the topic so we can see it's been sold? Thanks
  7. According to the annoying eBay popup, seven have been sold in the last 24 hours. Perhaps we should just wait a month or so and see if they pop up second hand? If none of them do, then either they are gorgeous or they are killing their owners... (Is that legally actionable? I do not speak for BassChat, nor is BassChat responsible for my opinions... )
  8. [quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1384163703' post='2273292'] I've seen it happen to pubs we've played in. Pubco's put in terrible landlords over and over again after manufacturing a reason to kick out the previous landlady who had been running the pub successfully for many years. Pub is now looking like it could be closed any time now. [/quote] This.
  9. [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1384289753' post='2274980'] No Jewish wedding takers then ? Four hours of double/cut time, two in the bar madness. Who needs standards, when you have.... Hava Nagila, Mazel Tov, Tzena Tzena Tzena, Hora dancing. [/quote] I'd [i]love[/i] to do that. Possibly not too often, it could get old after a year or two, but they're great tunes
  10. We traded, my Retrovibe telebass prototype for his Jack. He went out of his way to deal with my travel problems, good comms, no problems whatever. I'd deal with him again without hesitating. Thanks Jeff

    I bought Tony's upgraded Tanglewater. Thoroughly nice guy, thoughtful and thorough comms, went out of his way to accommodate my travel problems. I'd have absolutely no hesitation in dealing with him again. The Tanglewater is lovely, so he has good taste as well
  12. That sounds bad - if nothing else, it's not going to do the screws any good. I've never heard of it before. Is it just on one bass?
  13. [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1383309216' post='2262922'] When I was at school any instrument that used electricity was taboo. There were no rehearsal rooms, let alone the stuff you get in schools these days. ... [/quote] This. And drums as well.
  14. What does it sound like? (Not after a sound sample, just a couple of words
  15. I bought some flats from Graeme. All very smooth and with good communications. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks
  16. I had a very brief go on morgano's Warmoth when I bought his Hartke kickback, and it's really nice. If this is a matching neck, it'll be lovely
  17. I'm not generally a fan of Antigua, but I do like that. I think it's the way the edge of the scratchplate echoes the edge of the body.
  18. BC member tommorichards had an Epi Blackbird for sale a couple of weeks back.
  19. I'm old enough that it was classical-instruments-only if you wanted to do music at GCE or A-level. (I think back then I agreed, as well. What a ditz I was.)
