Lovely bass. Play it healthy 🙂

The first Firm album made a big impression on me at the time of release and remains a personal favourite. Love Tony's playing. Midnight Moonlight in particular!

Absolute bargain. Definitely (maybe?) a US model. High quality bit of kit. Congratulations!

I've owned both models. An earlier 80's graphite necked Arpege and a 1990 Passion with the 90/10 neck. The in's and outs have already been covered in this thread in a way which would put me to shame, so I'll leave it at that. I consider them amongst the best basses money can buy.

That is stunning work. Congratulations!

Believe it or not, I actually remember watching that performance live. Good times.

I once owned a Japanese Eagle. Stunning instrument.

The 80's was the bass bomb!

I owned a Lionheart not dissimilar to the OP's and enjoyed the experience 😎😎

I can only imagine playing with that heat bubbling beneath me. Awesome.

Yes, when I bought a brand new Wal in 1985. Don't get me wrong, the sounds were sublime, however I hated everything else about it.

That was an excellent watch. She's got skills!

I agree. I don't see how an NYC (or any alternative) iteration can improve upon the German builds.

Personally I wouldn't dream of stringing any of my basses with flats. Stick rounds on it.
