On hold : Gibson Grabber G3 reduced ! tobacco sunburst 1978 - *SOLD*
dafonky replied to dafonky's topic in Basses For Sale
Most G3 were indeed natural ones with alder bodies ,some were black/ alder Only a few were sunburst with maple bodies. This one is rather exceptional because most G3 with maple bodies were beyond 5 kg ! -

These strings feel and play very well 🙂 I must say that it‘s not always easy for me to identify La Bellas , did they change the silk at some time ? I supposed the silk color was the same on all their bass strings ….? i have 4 different LaBella flatwound sets here for the moment : 1) FL set : light red / orange silk on upper end , no silk on the ball end side ( exactly like yours) 2) FL-TB set ( string throug ) red/orange silk on BOTH ends 3) FS set : black silk on the upper end only 4) FS 5 string set : black silk on BOTH ends 🙈 do i have a mix of old and new sets here ? i would buy yours immediately , but i am in Europe, shipping and taxes are expensive i suppose ? best regards marc -
Hi everybody here my experience with the early 90‘ies „pre serial „ NYC Empire models: the carved body/ neck heel came after 1999 , on the second generation of NYC Empire basses . The first series basses from 1994-1999 had standard Fender like bolt on necks and body shape and heel. They were built in small batches when Fodera was , as you mentioned, a small shop with a handfull of people working there. None of the bodies were exactly the same, they are hand carved. ( i had a pickguard made especially for one NYC bass which did not fit exactly on my other NYC basses ). I have played several of these old NYC Jazz basses , most of them ( 90% of the ones i ever saw later ) had 60‘ies Jazz bass pickup spacing ,( alder and ash bodies, maple necks or thick rosewood fretboards) and at that time , a lot of them were 4 stringers …..the reissue models/ second version ( starting 2001 I think ) were mainly 5 string basses , with the carved neck heel. and not the classic Fender neck/ body bolt on system . All of them have an active circuit , with active/passive switch or push/pull knob. Pickups are Bartolini, EMG , Lindy Fralin , Lane Poor or Seymour Duncan on early 90‘ies models, different hardware ( black, chrome or gold finish) sometimes even bridges found on Emperor or other more expensive models. Most of the 90‘ies models have a quilted top . ( a lot of them were even fretless models ! ) All of the 4 string basses come with a D-tuner . 5 stringers mostly had angled headstock and three piece neck, 4 string basses not. Some early basses had the back of the body painted in black ( while the top was quilted ) , these are NO fakes , but looked a bit cheap though ! The blue one above even had the back of the neck in black……. These old models are really nice basses , a bit heavy weight, but very reliable instruments. Best regards

An amp with a meaty, juicy tone , TH style, but without a fan or a very, very quiet one, would be my choice ....... any suggestions ? Even if it is not the smallest one Trickfish and Steamhammer seem to be less meaty/ juicy ?

Hevos amps DO NOT have a fan

Bought some bass guitar pickups from Vedran recently. Fast and uncomplicated communication , smooth transaction, although he lives in Croatia.... happy to deal with him again !
