    Nice, though I have my doubts about the look of the headstock - I think it's the central dark wood, makes it look a bit like the Kramer split aluminium ones. Where are you based?
  2. alyctes
    It's a bit on the black side for me, but that's just me being traditional (I like wood ). I should think it's really, really nice to play. Not in my reach, I fear.

    Looks nice

    I've had a think, and all I can really do is give your thread a free bump. Good luck with your sale!

    I was, but that's quite a long time ago, and I found one. Someone else, I guess.

    That shouldn't be around long. Sorry to hear of the surprise. GLWTS!
  8. alyctes
    Ah, ok. Thanks.

    These are lovely. I've got an orange one and a fretless (reboarded) in blue; my favourite basses. Nylon-wound strings go well on them Why Yamaha stopped building them I've no idea.

    One picture, for $4500 BIN... people are weird.

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1501753549' post='3347081'] I think you are supposed to rest the section with the controls on your leg classical guitar style. [/quote] Ah, OK. I can sort of see how that might work. Thanks.

    I dislike Flying Vs quite a lot. Oddly, that doesn't seem quite as objectionable, somehow. I have no idea why. It does look a lot like a pair of tongs; I'm sure some people would like to see it put in a fire

    That bridge design... I begin to see why a lot of people don't like Rics much.
  16. alyctes
    hi Marc - hoping all's well with you. Can you bow it, or is the bridge flat?
  17. alyctes
    Only one pic, for a bass priced north of 3 grand? Seems odd.
  18. alyctes
    Blimey. I'm not sure whether that's silly, awful or the best thing since sliced hard-boiled egg. It looks properly uncomfortable to play sitting down though.

    [quote name='fftc' timestamp='1501587023' post='3345677'] I thought he meant blues! [/quote] Whoops... sorry about that

    I bought strings from Cameron. All very quick and simple, and I'd be pleased to trade again. Thanks

    Thank you for your replies.

    Two of my relatives are trying to sell harps (separately); both instruments are professional-quality. Neither has been able to find anywhere sensible to do so. Any ideas, please? Thanks

    Interesting - I've ambitions to do the same, when I've got the time (hee hee), so I'm pleased to see this thread.

    There were quite a lot of Italian violin/viola basses made in the 60s (Eko, IIRC, and others), and I think some Bulgarian-made ones. Could it be one of those?
