I had a similar red one (which is now for sale for 14.000 euros in Germany) and if I recall correctly I sold that one for around 4000 euros less than ten years ago...My girlfriend says I should keep my three Wal basses although I sometimes want to sell them because I don't gig anymore..I think she's right the more I see.

Like LeftyJ said I bought it ànd I did gigs with it and even played solo's on it just because it was so challenging.. I remember that the chain was hard on the shoulders but it sounded like it should :-)

Just like in Glastonbury earlier this year, that bass player in Rick's band is great..what fills, what a sound....

A fretless interpretation of a Bee Gees song on my fretless Zon..

Years ago I got a phone call from X legged Sally but I told them that they had to get Paul for the job (he's not only an excellent luthier but he played far better than me). Luckily for them they did..

Bought this bass from him couple of years ago... great bass to play.

This 1987 Supernatural arrived this week from France.. A bit of noodling and a more "normal" sound for the Abba song :-)

I heard somewhere that Jones gets around a million dollars every tour....

I think I have seen at least ten basses I would love to buy (like that beautiful Carvin fretless or a lovely Smith) but unfortunately the taxes and the whole hassle turned me away.. I bought a lot of fantastic basses around here and had excellent transactions with everyone..it's a pity that has changed which has nothing to do with the members themselves naturally..

I was and am a bit curious if there is a change in sales or offers here on Bass chat after the new policy regarding shipment or sales to Europe... Has it had an influence on the people buying basses around here ? Do British music shops feel that Europeans buy less because of the import tax or the paperwork which has to be done or did everything stay the same ? Not that I want to start a discussion about Brexit...I am just curious if other basschatters have certain views on how this has affected their GAS ? If I speak for myself it has had a huge affect on buying basses around here because in the back of my head not only the calculator pound/euro is working and the costs for shipment but also the calculator import tax etc.. My enthusiasm of seeing certain basses around here has changed a bit because I know that there are extra costs so I buy less than I used to... Any other views from fellow "Europeans" but also the British themselves about buying basses since this change ? Thanks for any opinion (and sorry for any mistakes in my English)

Bit of slap with an itching ear..

I read that book "Remain in love" by Chris Frantz recently and it changed my perception of the band a lot... A lot of bitterness and weird situations...In the beginning I was on the side of Frantz but in the end you feel that there is more to that one side of the story. Not a word about Jerry Harrison while you get detailed discriptions of the food they had in Paris fourty years ago and only one small mention that Tina (the love of his life, he simply adores her) wanted to leave him if he didn't give up drugs... My favourite bass line is "Mind" (it has a Mick Karn flavour)

I remember the seller in Antwerp telling me something that he ordered the one I bought from Status itself...

British power...

Just a take on "Everybody's talkin'" on my newly acquired Sandberg bass
