I have one of these in black with matching headstock and a Floyd Rose.Its the most versatile guitar I've ever owned.

The switching is a bit crazy at first glance but 5 minutes in and its second nature.

Your blueburst is stunning!

GL with the sale

bump for a couple more pics (courtesy of Eubassix) and a revised sale price of £650







since the review the pre amp board was changed so the trim pot in the cavity adjusts the mid freq and the control on the front of the bass is mid boost/cut and not the reverse as was the case when it originally shipped for test

I got this Disciple 5 from Eubassix earlier this year and is the actual test bass reviewed by Bass Player mag (hard copy of review will ship with the bass)
these are hand made in Japan and the workmanship is faultless. The bass has no issues whatsoever and comes with a good quality warwick gig bag.

Would rather trade if possible(cash either way depending whats out there)

interested in an S1 Jazz,G&Ls,Spector,Lakland or Warwick 4 or 5 string.others considered too

Looking for £695 ono in a sale

sorry to go off topic but I've just seen the pics of your JB-2....its beautiful!! :wub:

I plan on stopping messing around and getting one of them sometime soon

I'd love a Thumb NT,this one's a beauty.

that fretboard!...those inlays!....oh my what a beautful bass :wub:

power of ten, is the white Bongo in your sig my old 4HS? does Stranraer and an Asat semi-hollow mean anything to you? my apologies if it wasnt you. anyway great collection of EBMMs you have

what a gorgeous bass..I love the look of that top. its very classy.

good luck with the sale!

his G&Ls.

yes I'd want some of his G&Ls

I used to own an older passive Corvette Std in ash with the wenge neck. I got it used for £300 and it was terrific.
imo a much better bass than the streamer Std I owned a little later.

PM'd

that SB-2 is the dogs danglies !

seller has some great G&L bass stock.this lake placid blue L-2000 has free shipping to the UK, with VAT & Duty less than £750 new

does this qualify as porn? not sure but its sentimental to me

here's my fretless I made back in 96/97 when I was studying guitar making and repair at the Leeds College of Music,Ialso made a fretted one the same with a laquered mahaogany body which I'll post some pics up of soon

ash/maple/rosewood with Duncan Basslines MM alnico p/up and Basslines 3 band MM circuit with the push/pull slap switch
tuners are Schaller BMs and the bridge is a Schaller 3D











cheers

Keir

thats sweet looking and so versatile too!

I'm wanting a G&L 5 stringer myself.

its a beauty but as stated,overpriced

bottom right pic there is some mega heavy figure lines in that neck,very nice indeed

black pre EB Stingray

[quote name='RichardH' post='209529' date='May 30 2008, 11:52 AM']Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like the body might be finished in the discontinued Red Swirl, like mine. If so, it's not a refin.

Here's mine (a pig to photograph properly)

thats lovely! - nig had a L5500 up FS on here a few months back in the blue swirl. Both look great - the gaudier the better with G&Ls I say,I love the metal flakes in particular - not too long ago there was a green metal flake SB2 with maple board on ebay that had my eyes bulging out their sockets every time I saw it. that and the silver flake JB-2 I missed out on twice

and for the seller flat black is always good

a lakland JO or DJ?

or if its just a traditional bass which can do a multiple number of tones active or passive - a L2500?

the bridge is a Schaller 3D. You can get replacement G&L saddle lock bridges direct from the G&L online shop at $70

I'd happily buy, own and play any good quality P that had a single coil at the bridge and a 1.5'' nut.

mines is called a G&L SB-2

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='205802' date='May 25 2008, 01:28 AM']Both lovely basses DJ, but the Bolin in particular is exceptional! I've never seen a nicer looking single-cut bass...[/quote]

thanks for the kind words. I agree,I think it is very elegant looking.


[quote name='Buzz' post='205917' date='May 25 2008, 12:20 PM']MMmm, I like the look of that valenti[/quote]

thanks. I'm no expert on J basses but I've played enough to know this one is right up there. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure the 3 previous owners all had Sadowskys which may be the the only reason for it not stopping in any one place too long.
This bass has replaced my G&L SB-2 as my "go to" 4 string and if I ever see another Valenti up for sale/trade I think one of the G&L's is for the chop. :brow:

Keir

BB,the Bolin plays great seated or standing. the extender is ugly but i wish i had one on my Asat bass.

Ped,I have the same number as I had when I got the StingRay 5 back in March - 8 - since then a pair of Sterlings and the flame maple natural Spector have gone and in came the Bolin,Valenti and a Godlyke Disciple 5

together:

This Valenti has travelled around the country a fair bit and I've been interested in it since it first appeared for sale/trade here on BC. I wanted a Jazz bass and I'm really glad its this one I've got... Its sublime and my new #1 player !












This Bolin NS 5 has been owned by at least a couple of other basschatters too. Inspiring to play,the piezo sounds terrific and theres loads of tones on tap. I also love the singlecut and slotted headstock

Dave,you probably know now I wasnt lying when I said at the time, I had to get it out the house because after a fettle it played slicker than my USA ones



I was a right twat letting it go so I'm glad you're still very happy with it.I'd definetely buy another Tribute L2K or hopefully a JB-2 sometime in the future.
