    Indeed - these are fantastic basses. The tweak of the slab body to tummy cut/ elbow contour only makes it more desirable I think (and of course Shuker is a top notch choice for the mod). Very classy bass. They have astonishing necks and the two band pre is extraordinarily versatile. I had one that could go from really sweet and useable edgy stingray tones to Chic to deep P dark low middy thump with a twist of the tone knob. GLWTS!

    Can I just say that is the coolest bass on the forum

    I had one of these (although mine had an epoxied rosewood board). FABULOUS bass. I miss it! Hmmmm...

    Fabulous bass shop! In my experience they also manage to defy the 'dealer sells more than private' rule. I bought an as new Roadworn Jazz from them for 650 quid just over a year ago Excellent place to buy a bass. And if your gear needs a fix or a mod, they're top notch.

    I tried the short scale one at the Gallery. Was a fun bass with a punchy/ Stingrayish tone (P bass at a push). I'm not a big one for short scale though but it sounded good, was very playable and was clearly a well made instrument. Light and well balanced too. Next time I'm in there I'll try the 34 inch scale version if it's still there. Always great to see a new luthier on the block.

    Ahhh - a set of Thomastiks on an old Ric 4001 is bass heaven. No Clank. Just lovely, blooming, sustainy, bouncy notes. Lovely things, flats...

    Easily one of the best basses out there (for so many types of music) IMHO. I sold mine in a moment of madness and would love to have it back (shuffles off to weep tears of regret)...

    Tweaked the title

    Seems to have been hung in the sun so the finish has discoloured. Try before buy to check the neck hasn't gone south....

    White neck through Yamaha in the NW [url="https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bass-nathan-east-2004/1269971468"]https://www.gumtree....2004/1269971468[/url]

    Will be interesting to see pics. I think I'm correct in assuming a paddle (aka Spector) headstock indicates the very first streamers? Also, as I've been looking with interest at these basses, lack of a serial seems to be pretty common on these early paddle heads despite the natural/oil finish.

    Woof!

    Yup, it has that classic J bass 'tack' at the front of the note like no one's business. Very good bass. And light... did I mention light?
  19. Cairobill
    And here's a Sunday bump for my Celinder... Part ex trades encouraged - decent precisions, 80s and Classic Stingrays, Spector Euro LX basses Cheers, N

    Totally epic cab and a great price (I have one)...
  22. Cairobill
    I'm a sunbeams player (which unfortunately aren't available for such a low price) but when I've needed steels the Hi-Beams are the best I've ever had on a bass.
  23. Cairobill
    V good deal. Single set for about 17 quid inc postage and cheap enough to avoid the customs charge.
  24. Cairobill
    All that effort to shift a fake fender for 400 quid. Ptftftftft
  25. Cairobill
    Yes - smells funny. The mention of a dad who passed away, no gigs, suggestions that it's a closet classic etc he left out the bit about it 'only being used in church' aha ha ha Logo is very suspicious, looks like a cheap parts bass that he's trying to pass as vintage.
