  1. GMR make truly fantastic basses.. I've owned 4 string soundboard like this, and a GMR bassforce 4 string which was neck through.. Both wonderful instruments!! Great playability and wonderful tone..Somebody will be happy.. GLWTS😃👍
  2. I was going to put up my 1990 Thumb NT4! Then after having waxed and cleaned and polished, and played for 4 hours, the reality of selling it would have been crazy..It would be total sellers regret!! These early thumbs upto 92 with their slim neck profile, have arguably become and rightly so classics..The sound of the fundamental on the low E, just rock when played through an old Trace Elliot rig.. Someone will be very happy with this beauty.. GLWTS 👍 😃
  3. Wow..Basses don't really get much better than this!! Stunning😃👍
  4. Brian bought my Westone Super Headless bass..pleasure to deal with..arranged own courier..top man😀👍
  5. Hi @Hellzero..Tony if I remember correctly. Electrics and pickups on the Arpège 1982 fretless already changed when I purchased. I am not overly sure what too..I feel it was an EMG preamp..with the pickups changed to the 2nd generation benedetti from early 86 onwards I believe..well they are original on my passion 11 from March 86 It is an Aiguilar OP3 preamp on the fretted Arpège with passive/active switch..works fantastically with this old bass.. All the best.. Alan👍😀
  6. Thanks, will definitely be contemplating being in touch in the near future about a refret..I recently did a trade for an excellent condition series 1 Arpege from Bass Direct..traded a very rare series 1 Arpege delta metal fretless for it..Sustains for months!!! Wonderful basses like your Cliff Bordwell..enjoy😉👍 .
  7. The job on the fretboard is truly amazing..Great to see pictures of a fretless phenolic fretboard been stripped down and then fretted to an amazing standard..My dear old passion 111 needs a refret and Newcastle not to far away..Enjoy your bass, It's an out and out beauty🙏😉
  8. Up for sale.. An all original Westone super headless bass from 1986, in walnut finish, in very good condition, flawless neck..for a 40 year old bass!! Everything works as it should..Hardware in great condition for age..Tuners hold pitch perfectly.. Active/passive switch, phase in out switch..Volume/tone/ bass/treble cut boost pots. Comes with original Westone case in very good condition..This bass is a joy to play and now becoming very hard to come by in thier short year long production..It was the top off the range model and rightly so in my humble opinion..40mm nut 33.75 scale 24 fret..3 piece Maple neck..locking clamp can use normal and double ballend strings..18v circuit.. Any questions I will try to answer..Not really looking for trades..Feel free if near Edinburgh area to try out..Can ship to UK for £20ish. Cheers folks👍😀
  9. Just a BUMP for this wonderful GB Rumour @Rowley Birkin QC Stunning bass as always from Bernie.. GLWTS 🙂👍
  10. Having played bass (debatable, lol) now for 43 of my 57 years!! I have now owned an Overwater progress 111 (4 string 2006) for the last two years..It is quite simply my goto bass with the most versatile sound and playability!! The luthiership second to none, by Chris Mays team.. In the very fortunate position to having owned, and own some very high end basses, the Overwater is at the top. Only took me 41 years!! GLWTS of this wonderful bass 👍🙂
  11. Fantastic bass guitar from GMR again!!! GLWTS👍😀
