    I am not normally a fan of modding an original/vintage bass but your Mustang looks the bees knees @ped

    Andy Baxter has a 66 lightly-mojo'd Jazz thats all original bar one pickup rewound for £200 less - I know what I would rather spend my money on if I had a spare £7k+ floating around! https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/products/1966-fender-jazz-bass-sunburst

    Gorgeous. Thinks to self: do I really want to go short-scale only? 🤔

    Mwah ha ha

    Another faulty listing. They have a fretless Hofner violin bass listed, which I was quite interested to read about as I have never seen one before. Link: And here is where you end up when clicking on link (specs underneath mention number of frets etc 🙄)

    If you take price and quality into account, I have had the most joy (as far as roundwounds are concerned) with DR Sunbeams and DR Pure Blues. Round rather than hexagonal core wire, which makes them more pliable, and being nickel are IMHO much easier on the fingers than stainless steel. For a 34" long scale bass, try the 40-100 gauge (similar tension to TI Jazz Flats)

    NBD: Gibson SG

    Clarky replied to grayn's topic in Bass Guitars

    Lovely, I recently picked up a satin black 2009 SG bass as a stand-in while my custom Serek shortie is being made (a year wait) and I MUCH prefer it to the several gloss nitro finished SG basses I had previously cycled through (loved the looks, didn't like the fat glossy neck). In particular, the satin nitro neck finish feels worn in and hugely more comfortable than the more upmarket version and - dare I say - quite similar to my existing Serek Midwestern. Great score, grayn!

    If it helps, every 1964 Custom Shop relic I googled - including from those made around the same period - had a quarter sawn neck.

    A member of Also Eden returned my email. He had not heard from Rob but said he would try and contact him and Rob's brother, who he also knows. Fingers crossed (again) for good news

    His prog band were called Also Eden - I have dropped them a speculative email

    Me again. Duncan bought a nice GK combo off me and arranged pickup via a London-based friend of his. Seamless and friendly as ever. Cheers!

    I bought Dominic's Wizzy cab and all was grand! Many thanks 😊
  13. Clarky
    Indeed. Mine (blatant showing off):

    I PM'd through this forum but it hasn't been picked up and I do not expect a reply. I hope your text elicits a response that brings us all cheer @Mike 🤞

    Graham bought a Trace Elf amp from me. Flawless deal with quick payment and friendly comms! Enjoy 😀

    PS, the same question has been asked on TalkBass where he hasn't posted since July last year and his avatar picture has vanished
  17. Clarky
    I recall that Rob/Bilbo had a heart issue some years back which resulted in surgery and stents. Hopefully, however, he is alive and kicking and simply taking time out from social media 🤞

    The LaBella Mustang set (760FLMUS) will do the job nicely. £40 at BassDirect but will last years and sound wonderful
  19. Clarky
    Sorry, not at the moment. I have PM'd you

    And replied!

    The classic DB (and studio) combo, no longer made. For a used model, this is in really good, nearly-unmarked cosmetic condition (usually the painted black metal panels are all scratched up). Comes with GK padded bag. Sorry no kettle lead (didn't come with one and I would be left short if I supplied the one from my Handbox amp!) Given condition, I am asking £260 collected from London SW13, meet at Barnes rail station. May consider post if I get a box the right size.

    The Atom Ant of bass amps and fits in rear jeans pocket if you are a size zero female model, as opposed to a stout 50-something bloke. Barely used, bought as back-up in case my valve amp goes wrong. However, I also have a Sansamp so its a bit redundant. Asking £170 posted, same price as the last one that sold on the forum. Could also meet in SW13 at Barnes rail station and hand over for £160. Erm,for some reason the pics have all loaded upside down! But you get the general picture, its in near mint condition.

    The problem with letting the market decide is .... there's not actually much of a market at the moment, what with Christmas/NY excess spending and CoL crisis thrown on top. I think that, unless you need the money, your fretted Sims and fretless P plan is a good one
  25. Clarky
    Probably worth re-posting this great bit of kit in the EUBs and Double Bass for sale forum
