Ooh Shiny

Stupidly light, the white one above is approx 6.5 lbs! Has some acoustic volume with it being hollow body so could be used to practice. The more I read the more sense they make.

[quote name='rungles' timestamp='1416852124' post='2614309'] Jerry Auerswald is another one to check out if you like this sort of thing. He's a true innovator - he built the original Prince 'Symbol' guitar.

Cheers Andy, i saw it was for sale last year I think?

I'd post a pic but its a pain on an iPhone

Nah, they've been producing those designs for 10 years or more. I'm interested in these http://www.basslab.de/pics/instruments/soul/index.html

Depends on your age.... But no 28 isn't that young. I wouldn't have guessed she was 28 though.

Welcome Specifically looking at the Soul model. As its a hollow body ( actually the whole thing is hollow !) wondering how it sounds? There's loads of samples on the site but mostly all virtuoso types, looking for more traditional playing in a band kinda situation.

So does anyone have one they can share any experience of? Any real life experienced users here? Interested to hear what impressions users have. Tonally and practically. How hardwearing is the composite neck and fretwork?

Not what I expected at all. I shouldn't be surprised really, the voice is just as mature as her playing in such young talent.

And another.... Ain't no mountain high enough http://youtu.be/kAT3aVj-A_E

Another piece of Jameson magic, (aren't they all?) but shown in a very watchable format http://youtu.be/At3OP5CvIRY

Think I might pull the trigger on this one. I've heard on several occasions that these have been preffered over a later ProI. So going off the pup positions, do these do a decent Jazz tone?

It's a never ending growing list. Mark King 80-90s Pino on most of the tracks he played with Gary Numan, D'angelo and countless others. Les Claypool. Flea. Michael Manring. Brian Bromberg. Daniel Romeo. Ben Ezra. Stu Zender. Robert Trujillo - infectious Grooves. Whoever played bass for Pharrell @ Glastonbury this year. McCartney. Recently Joe Dart of Wulfpeck. Jaco obviously. Very rarely the noise I make

[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1416307399' post='2608809'] [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/2jfg7th.jpg[/IMG] [/quote] That's nice! I kinda like the two tone hardware on the black/brown one. Very early one too. Good score. I've been looking at a 91 model that's from the Japanese factory. What's a fair price for these £500ish?

Huh? I thought 5's all had the 2 soap bar pups? Jealous face

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1416444640' post='2610388'] "I've got to admit with it being excessively gigged time hasn't been kind to the satin finish, so one evening it got...refinished." -technically it is an upgrade to the finish because as stated it wasn't very hard wearing. Was quite prone to pressure marks and indents because it was quite a soft way of finishing a bass. Knowhere do I claim it to be an "upgrade" in any of my adverts either on here or gumtree. Frankly people can be p*ssy about it but at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. No I just accidentally picked up my blowtorch and scorched it. [/quote] [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1416271120' post='2608651'] To be fair the satin finish wasn't too hard wearing, I see it as an upgrade- can always be sanded back to natural wood and refinished fairly easily [/quote]

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1416408832' post='2609900'] It's not relic'd! Where does it say relic'd on the ad? [/quote] Sorry I misread, this thread mentions relic. The for sale ad described it as a refinish or upgrade. I refinished and upgraded my toast earlier today. Was it an intentional refinish? Genuine question
