Hi all Just got this last week from Tayste_2000 - I'd always fancied one of these, and haven't been disappointed. However, as always happens, as soon as I got it, something else came along which has caught my eye, so I'll need to move this on. It's a 1987 model, back from the days when they were handmade in the USA. It comes with a case (see pic) and also has 3 spare strings (E, A & G). Pics (shamelessly nicked from the original sales post): - I'm looking for the bargain price of £155 for this. Collection welcome from Warwick or meet up somewhere close. I could post for a contribution towards postage. Cheers Mark.

I've never seen one of these before, and can't find much in the way of info... Is this a Lakland special or an Absolute Music special (i.e. Bob Glaub in disguise)? Either way it's a beauty, but I'd like to know if it has the jazz style neck. -
So how was it yesterday? Any good?
-
Nice catch, especially at that price. I bought the Flightcase model, and love it. Plenty loud enough for rehearsals, and it had a lovely clean sound (unlike my old Trace, which had a tendency of making everything sound the same). I'll probably upgrade mine to a Suitcase at some point....

I bought it today (first time in a while) and thought it was an improvement. Enjoyed the Horace Panter / Bedders interviews, and whilst there's a fair bit in there that didn't interest me, I recognise that you're not going to please all the people all the time, so will more likely go back to being a regular reader again. Funnily enough, with the downloadable MP3's, I actually paid attention to the tuition section at the end of the mag, which is a first. As the previous posted said, it's the only UK bass mag, so it needs supporting.

That's beautiful. I was going to ask what year it is, but can see '1966' on the case - is that right?
-
They're cracking basses. I had one and sold on here a couple of years ago. That's a really good price, too. -

Just to really rub it in, mine arrived today and it's really very cool indeed. I'll definitely be up for some more if other colours or designs are planned. -
Just bought a Guild Ashbory from Steve. Nice quick delivery, and it's exactly as it was described. Cheers mate!

[quote name='Clarky' post='643675' date='Nov 2 2009, 06:08 PM']Simple tredders _ you sell me you 62 and you buy OG's JV![/quote] Nah, I'm still holding out for your JJB [quote name='OldGit' post='643678' date='Nov 2 2009, 06:12 PM']You know you just need a [i]picture[/i] of your US work of art and you can play this one without the museum archive gloves [/quote] That's too close to the truth to be funny! Anyway, the '62 is back from the setup on Saturday, & will be freshly strung with TI flats, so I'm planning on giving it a good seeing to (oo-er) over the weekend and see how it plays. -
What's the build time on a Shuker Tomsk signature bass these days?
-
Absolutely gorgeous. These JV's are the absolute business, and I love the cracked lacquer on this one. If I'd not just bought my US '62 re-issue, I'd be all over this.
-
That cherryburst '78 is gorgeous mate! What do you think to the Mike Dirnt? It's been one of those "nearly" basses for me for ages...

PM sent.

[quote name='stefboltonfc' post='638349' date='Oct 27 2009, 07:18 PM']Right... the gorgeous white Jap Jazz is on its way. I'm far too excited for Thursday morning when the lovely DHL man brings me my new baby! Impulse buying - gotta love it. Shame that I've had to borrow £200 from the father, looks like I'm going to be working overtime to get him paid back. Or, I might sell my Squier Vintage Mod to one of you guys? Failing that, to eBay I shall venture![/quote] Did you order the one from Far East then? Looks lovely in the pics. Mark.
-
Worked fine for me, Dave. I paid via Paypal (linked from the Payloadz site). Wavs are just downloading now... Mark.
-
Having seen this bass in the flesh, it's an absolute beauty. Sounds great, too (except when I played it!).

[quote name='stefboltonfc' post='637256' date='Oct 26 2009, 07:54 PM']After losing out on a MIJ (Salmon Pink) '62 Jazz Bass on eBay last night (probably to one of you evil people) due to being caught out by £1 in the last five seconds, I've decided I really need one in my life. Would anyone be willing to sell one, or know anyone who wants to sell one, or even any local stores* that are selling one? *Preferably NOT to be imported in from the US, or Far East - because I haven't yet got the balls and confidence to buy from abroad. If anyone can help me with my new lust, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!![/quote] I got my '75 CIJ Jazz from Far East Guitars. No hassle, no importing, sent from the UK. Just checked the website, and there's a nice white / tort one on there for £550 - [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedjb5.htm"]'62 Reissue[/url] Mark.

Did Paul McCartney use a pick when he played on the rooftop?

[quote name='chris_b' post='637291' date='Oct 26 2009, 08:18 PM']Never seen him play without a pick.[/quote] On one of the Anthology albums, there's a version of One After 909 which Macca cocks up. When Lennon berates him, he moans that it's due to him not having a pick with him. -
Great choice - Oly White Jazzes always look cool...

I'm a BASS NUT!!! PORNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

I love that fence photo. Every time Mrs Tredders shakes her head at the latest incoming delivery, I simply show her that fence pic. Usually does the trick. -
[quote name='tony_m' post='635607' date='Oct 24 2009, 08:49 PM']As of today, an Oly White '75 Jazz RI. Just like this one... :wub: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=64207&view=findpost&p=633926"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=633926[/url] [i]Edited less than 10 minutes later to add...[/i] Or maybe an Oly White Jaguar a la Barry Adamson. I'm so fickle... [/quote] All basses look great in Oly white! I'm pretty much GAS free after this weeks spending, but I'd love a Jetglo Ric, Shuker JJB or battered 60's P bass (like the one I've been whining on to FunkMunky to sell me for the last couple of months!).
