    Brilliant Andy, Chris would approve!

    Lovely bass, an 80's classic. I owned a twin pick up SB (can't remember the model number) back in the day. I have always wondered what the rotary 4 way selector does on the 1000? Good luck with your endeavors to make her sing!

    Another stunner!
  4. White Cloud
    Sublime!

    Cool stuff guys! Not exactly classic 80's as such but King "Love and Pride" was a Ray (or was it a Sabre?)

    Fantastic job on a fantastic bass...

    1976 - "I'll be good to you" by the brothers Johnson (the legendary Louis on bass). Reached no 3 in the US singles chart.

    Wow! That is all.

    [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1480384889' post='3183975'] Mid to late 80's rays are the best period in the company history IMO. Quality was amazing as EB attempted to resurrect the brand. [/quote] Aha, so my 86/87 may have been one of a golden era then...very interesting. Thanks folks for all of your excellent participation in this thread

    [quote name='Stance' timestamp='1480210899' post='3182587'] I always have a spare - its a must! You just don't want the gig to end just because the bass player (who happens to have more basses than he needs) just decides to take one bass, cause he thought Murphy's Law didn't apply to him... Be professional no matter what - it counts! [/quote] This for me too!

    He, he, he....another great build taking shape!

    Happy Saturday felllow Basschatters! Back in 1987 (when I had black hair and a six pack) I bought a brand new Musicman Stingray, it was heavy but played like a dream and had a very, very special live and recording sound in what was a successful period in my personal musical adventures. Isn't the way that a musician can spontaneously reminisce about an instrument with which they have long since parted very strange? Anyway, we eventually parted company in a long forgotten trade in deal for something else that has been long forgotten. I have always loved the whole Stingray thing but never ever went there again (no idea why!) This has got me thinking - what was the golden era of this particular breed of bass, was my 80's version a classic or did I get lucky?

    Easy - "Big Money" by Rush. Waltastic!

    [quote name='MJJS' timestamp='1479849167' post='3179807'] Life is short and this is on the verge. I think we've seen 2 in 3, years on here? [/quote] ...yes and the other was withdrawn (wisely...I wouldn't sell it if I was you).

    [quote name='SteveMcD' timestamp='1479714173' post='3178573'] Sorry I misunderstood, thanks for your comment. [/quote] Dude, I'm just outside Glasgow but if I had the available funds I'd happily drive to Inverness in a heartbeat for that bass. Good luck.

    Brilliant job Andy...really love those old Mockingbirds and you are doing this one proud!

    Holy crap..... Want, want, want, want, want, want, want

    [quote name='SteveMcD' timestamp='1479662247' post='3178239'] What do you mean "why is this still here" [/quote] Allow me to explain....I cannot understand why this bass was not snapped up weeks ago. Wal's tend to sell very quickly and yours is both unique and sublime. Hope that clarifies.
  19. White Cloud
    Can anyone please explain to me why this is still here?
  20. White Cloud
    Stunner! These were built to last and this is a fantastic example of a very high quality instrument. I would say however that the body is unlike any Mahogany that I have ever seen...looks like an interesting cut (or two) of Ash to me. GLWTS

    Truly great band... https://youtu.be/L-8t2h57yBA

    [quote name='3below' timestamp='1479330744' post='3175776'] Sound Control Glasgow 1990/91, USA telecaster on my part (which I still have). Great guitar, really good price, excellent service above and beyond. No wonder they went out of business [/quote] +1 I loved Sound Control Glasgow

    [quote name='6feet7' timestamp='1479239463' post='3175013'] I've just had this delivered by Bass Direct and I must say it is superb. The balance is just so and I can't put it down (plus, it has Jeff Berlin's signature on the back of the headstock - whoopee I've copied Skol303's post (I hope he doesn't mind) on his because he has said everything I could possible say about it, but I must reiterate that this bass is something pretty good (and I've had everything from a couple of £7000 GUS G3 basses to USA and Japanese Fenders and even my YOB bass, a 1964 Gibson EB0 and IMO this beats all of them) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/278394-nbd-cort-rithimic-v-jeff-berlin-signature/page__p__2974263__hl__cort%20jeff%20berlin__fromsearch__1#entry2974263"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2974263[/url] [/quote] I was watching this bass and contemplating a purchase - I'm both sad you bought it and glad you bought it at the same time. Congrats, its a cracker...signed by JB too.

    I'm a Scottish Warwick fan...best advice is buy used right here at good old basschat. Failing that bass direct have a small but tidy selection of used bad boys if you fancy buying online from a UK company.

    [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1478897720' post='3172632'] I record nearly everything I am involved with, and it is true the P base always fit better in the mix, both live and studio, so I am at a loss as to why I keep buying Jazz basses! I'm still paying for the lovely US Standard Jazz I bought in March, and have only played it a few times. [/quote] Whats not the point of jazz basses? You keep buying jazz basses because you are trying to tell yourself something, maybe you should listen to yourself?
