I'll see if i have any more of mine.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='311751' date='Oct 22 2008, 08:02 AM']Well someone must want it pretty badly, it's up to £3500 with 4 days to go! I sure hope the winner knows his stuff when he goes to collect, as I'd want to be ABSOLUTELY certain that was original and genuine for that much money. [/quote] earlier today this dropped back to £1750!!!!!!!! now its back up to £3200 how does that work, somethingstrange with this!!!!!!!!

This thread is lacking new pictures, less talk more porn!

im in, just no Warwick pics! Just kidding!

Thanks for all the nice comments and pms, i'm gonna clean her up and post some more pics next week. New set of Sadowsky strings fitted tonight.

I have a bridge pickup guard, plain with no big "F" if thats what ur after, havent read thru it all apologies, £10 shipped, vgc

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='312395' date='Oct 22 2008, 07:10 PM']Yep. [/quote] Yep What!?

Indeed, big and even across the strings, and huge low end, tho Im hearing it thru 2x15 markbass.

[quote name='Josh' post='312387' date='Oct 22 2008, 07:03 PM']Hmmm so really she has some Hi-Fi sizzle to her but still has the passive jazziness shining through?[/quote]well yep but not too much fizzle as the strings are a year or so old!

[quote name='Josh' post='312372' date='Oct 22 2008, 06:50 PM']Don't the EMG's take away some of that essential classic jazz tone Andy?[/quote] Well as always its very subjective, but what they do do is make the bass a tad more "urgent" if you know what I mean, the tones are the same and a tad more gritty, but they have that active spark, but not overly, so shes still lazy if you know what I mean, but well you know! Subjective as I say.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='312360' date='Oct 22 2008, 06:30 PM']Sweet bass, i only wish my jazzer had block inlays looks really nice on sunburst and rosewood imo.[/quote]I think its the best vintage combination by far, very trad, again IMHO

I havent porned this one before as shes not as pretty as my GB, but here goes, not the best pics as my daughters messed off with the decent camera to Paris. I think shes still got 40 years grime on her aswell (not the daughter the bass!) I must get round to cleaning her and do some decent pics! This may be For Sale shortly, if anyone is interested, PM me and we can talk. 1969 Jazz bazz, active EMG pups but gladly no nasty routs as the battery is under the control plate, and odd bridge. Very well played as you can see and a superb neck. Enjoy.

[quote name='paul h' post='304710' date='Oct 12 2008, 10:04 AM']Still one the nicest basses I have ever seen. This one and that ebony faced Nordy are definitely my top two. P.[/quote]Thank you, i was really lucky to hit on her as she wasnt a commissioned order from me but a chance email to Bernie asking what he had in stock as id always fancied one, and he came up with this one which was built for a show I believe, and was amazingly pretty much what i would have commissioned anyway, i may have added a matching headstock, dont know if that can be done retrospectively? he doesnt carry any stock usually just ordered basses, so i was fortunate, the rest is history, deal was done and i didnt have to wait 6 months. Ive said to the wife, "never let me sell her" but another really vintage jazz has come up and i may have to pawn the wife or the GB or both probably.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='304212' date='Oct 10 2008, 10:45 PM']Still a fantastic bass - leaning towards this look for the Rumour again! Mark[/quote]Think u may be right, its a overall finish, go with the american walnutty finish, forget whatever i said!

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='303760' date='Oct 10 2008, 12:12 PM']OK - first up many more pro players have used GB not just Mark King and whilst he is probably one of the more high profile players, I wouldn't say he defines the sound of a GB... Laurence for example, is at the complete other end of the spectum - virtually no treble whatsoever... and for what it's worth, all of Mark's GBs had dark necks because GBs are supposed to be bright GBs are slap monsters though...! Opinions and discussions are good! If we were all the same, the world would be a boring place. You're right - it is a nice day... and I'm going to go to the pub in a bit and get some scran. Big fat burger I think.[/quote] guess it must be me thats not bright then!

Me thinks Ipswich is too far, tho would be a step up indeed.

Here you go new pics!

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='303685' date='Oct 10 2008, 10:59 AM']err... says who? bass_ferret certainly stuck to that rule with his fretless! The best looking GB I have ever seen is a complete black rumour with ebony board and silver hardware. Ended up going to Holland. Looked fantastic.[/quote]err I do FWIW! GBs main claim to fame as it were was tied up with Mark king using them for a period, as you know of course, and IMHO defines there default sound in some ways, I realise they can do the whole plethora of other sounds but I just think as a default setting GBs being known for there almost hifi sound quality is no bad place to start. Hence the slap switch as its known. Anyways thats just my two pence worth. Bugger i guess this is gonna lead to a lot of opinions and discussion! and we will lose the porn purpose of this thread, perhaps it should be moved! To put that right, its a lovely sunny day and I have the day off so Im gonna take some outdoor pics of my pride and joy just for the hell of it.

2nd or 4th, u gotta have a maple board, GB's are supposed to be bright, and maple boards always help, and the colour contrast will look gr8, are you gonna have the fore arm rest area cutaway to show the layers, think thats always a good touch? Man its gonna look the dogs, nope u should go for no4 thats the bestest, IMHO

I had a split in a skyline neck, mailed Dan and got a new 55-02 neck by return, and i was the 3rd owner! big up Lakland, wish i still had one.

[quote name='durandassi' post='303115' date='Oct 9 2008, 04:11 PM']Well, here's my baby, and here she is with the man! mmmm, snakewood, and the initials of my 3 kids, Bernies idea! and here's the wood for my new Spitfire, can't wait!! James.[/quote]Thanks James for the pm insight into the new spitfire, now ive seen the top wood i can see why ur excited thats gonna look fing amazing, u gonna finish it with a colour or what, it looks a bit like the "Angel" GB, why cant i think of a name for mine?
