    Good to see that V&R are still listing my 1976 fretless Precision around two thirds of the way down the FS page, even though I bought it about 3 months ago now!!!!

    Not seen this before. Call Simone at V&R and I am sure she would tell you. But pls don't sell your lovely aged Oly white P bass as I like your avatar!

    I still find the whole tug bar concept strange as, if you hit the strings with the meat of your thumb that way, they are very loose and it makes anything other than 4-4 quite difficult. Its not as if it even replicates the way you play a double bass

    To finish the story, Sid has gone back to the original rosewood neck and the maple neck is on its way to MarkyL for his 70s B/B/M Precision. Thanks to all who contributed and helped me make my decision.

    Weeks old for a big saving (more than £200) on new. RAWWWKKKKK machine par excellence (as long as you like Jazz-type necks, that is) Not just rock though - ska credibility too as Horace from The Specials plays one now: [attachment=51419:2tone_gi..._457x470.jpg][attachment=51420:horace_p...ls_pa774.jpg]

    Saturday morning bumpola. Here's a pic (one of jonthebass's, thanks mate) of the pickup in situ on Sid [attachment=51421:SidA51closeup.jpg]

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='857647' date='Jun 4 2010, 08:23 PM']Don't know why you say that, Clarky. I only have three of these, so buying a fourth seems perfectly reasonable to me ... [/quote] Oh dear, I also have three. That means I will have to buy a fourth too

    Yay! More OCD bass owners like me

    Given I need to sell to buy, I think I will stay away here, Thanks lozbass for advice on price, it did look a little OTT to me (and no bids is normally a good clue) but good to hear from someone 'in the know'.

    [quote name='nemo' post='856835' date='Jun 4 2010, 08:51 AM']In order to get it you have to trace several older gilbass's threads and put things together yourself. It's a sort of a game.[/quote] Unfortunately since he had 3 Sadowsky 5's it impossible to know which 2 are for sale, although you have a 1:3 chance of being right! As games go, I prefer spin the bottle

    [quote name='johnnylager' post='856823' date='Jun 4 2010, 08:28 AM']Clarky, could you please add [i]Probably, but I can't remember[/i]?[/quote] done!
  23. Clarky
    OK, thanks everyone for contributing. I think I am going to go back to the original rosewood neck, which is the clear majority view. As I said earlier, would have been a tougher call if the maple board had a vintage vibe but it just looks a bit pale and new to me next to the aged and battered body (the bass, not mine)

    FYI, for those who after a SD Quarter Pounder, this sounds very similar and is slightly more punchy still. Really is superb for loud rock/punk/metal etc

    I would like an Alembic 5 although I cannot afford one without selling something first. nevertheless what do the Alembic-watchers think of this one? Has a super-expensive cocobolo top which obviously adds to price (as will import duties etc) but does look rather nice [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-CUSTOM-ALEMBIC-ORION-5-STRING-BASS-/110541650930?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item19bccbbbf2"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-CUSTOM-ALEMBIC-...=item19bccbbbf2[/url]
