Very nice. Tune Japan did something similar mid 80s with one of the fretless Bass Maniacs then Washburn a couple of years later. [attachment=197035:Tune_fretless_Bass.jpg][attachment=197036:cat_1987washburn_page08.jpg] Only ever heard good things about Godin but prefer the 3 octave fingerboard on the Tune.

I think I can guess at which " expert " Jon. There's a strange inability to accept being wrong with some Washburn owners.They just ignore answers till they get the one they want They posted a photo of the burst headstock sayiing B-200 but as you rightly point out with Washburn nothing's set in stone. As always I'm happy to have been corrected, I'll take your word over the other fella every time. In the case of this Washburn looks like nobody wants it,been on eBay over a year easy.

Can't have that AT !! I'll send some positive thinking waves to Germany on your behalf

Suitably chastised Jon Further reading turned up the ex-Washburn employee saying the folks at Washburn could never tell him anything about their basses so he'd pester folk.Their catalogues are no help either,some basses got pictured with different parts from production. Just to confuse matters more check these 2 B-200's [attachment=197013:2nd LB40 in Germany pic#2.jpg][attachment=197014:B-200 active full front.jpg]

Well happy birthday to You. Think I've an idea on the present, so enjoy your day.

That's brilliant. With them being 8 hours behind us the fella was probably shutting up shop,1630 his time. Aye top man yer Caleb

Couple of the fellas on the Washburn owners group say it was never sold in the USA but it's definitely early 80s Japan. They'd been in touch with seller for serials and more photos,it's an LP-40 or sometimes called a B-200 model One of them worked for Washburn at the time and says they're ultra rare,he's never played one though Want to ask if they can give a year Jon ? Might help add a piece to the Japanese Bass Building puzzle.

My ex boss told me about it. The fella's not that much of a music fan but reckoned it was a good show. Is the Glasgow lad still in it ?

Cheers Jono Will do. I need tae do a family potrait but it'll be split USA an the BXP branch Aye original case an yer right about the saddles. Bet ye scoff when folk mention Hi Mass bridges noo

I did try the Chord stand but was sorely disappointed and went with Flightcasewarehouse and their Spider racks. I did a review and listed my reasons why I preferred the Spider over the Chord. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/250757-spider-guitar-stands/ I'm using 6 Spider racks just now and have no fear of them falling apart. http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/industry/product.asp?item=spider-5-way-multi-guitar-stand-8404-2741

There's no 7 string set available from Warwick in any colour range The fella AT was referring too on Seven String.Org was just stating a preference. Most folks get 6 string sets and add a guitar string. Bass Gear UK do D'Addario 6 string sets for £22 ( £21 if you give them your BC name )

Cheers Flat Eric. This fella's a " Line around the Head " model too from 84. I was having trouble ID'ing bits such as the bridge,it's different to the 3 Foundations then I saw your white Foundation.That's the bridge,big round saddles same as the T-20. If I'm going for the full set there's few still to go ,mainly from the 90's, No [color=#252525][font=sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#252525][font=sans-serif]Axcelerator,B-Quad,TL,Sarzo or Unity as yet[/font][/color] Then there's stuff like the Randy Jackson,Jeff Berlin Palladium and the Jack Daniels bass.Oh and I've no fretless Peaveys. It a strange thing I prefer my Foundations with the VFLs to my Super Ferrite Foundation,nothing to compare the Dyna with .

Thanks Lads. Chris you get first shout on it OK.

Yes very Tap Good things have settled down now,

I spotted this on Friday and at £100 knew it was a bargain. 84 Fury with slanted SF pickup and oddly a rosewood fretboard. I've only really seen these with maple before though I think Flat Eric might have one, fella has everything else [attachment=196781:Fury 84.jpg] Damn fine P bass with a slightly narrower neck than the T-20,infact I found very little difference between the two. Same story with my early 90's Fury.Does everything a P bass should just with that wee bit more kick. And I'd be kicking myself if I'd passed on it

Now that is tasteful And you've just reminded me about Status Halfs,I better get a set.

Dennis Dunaway Phil Lynot Pete Way Pete Agnew Bootsy Larry Graham Louis Johnson Fat Mike Duck Dunn I'm gonna cheat and say all the players on the Motown sessions.

Congratulations on your 3rd run Stephen. If that doesn't say you're doing something right I don't know what will

Learn something everyday,for some daft reason I never considered anyone on here as the seller. It's the staggering of the listings that struck me.Take the Shergold neck and body the other week,they finished about 3 days apart if you won the 1st it's neigh on certain you gotta keep bidding on the 2nd. Course you expect and should get the best price for the parts,hindsight here at 0230 tells me if you won the 1st it's probably only you bidding on the 2nd. Still there's something about the timing and wording just don't sit right with me,might be a quirk of my nature. Anyway you'll have no problem selling the pickups,somebody just bought a neck and body they'll fit perfect in.

I was watching a Hayman project last few days. Just body and neck " I've no other parts for this bass " says the seller. Auction just ended and guess what ? the seller suddenly has the pickups listed Still saying " I've no other parts " Chances are pots and wiring loom next week.

A fella in Cardonald , Glasgow is selling a gorgeous RMI Boomslang. Seems a legit seller,been selling on Gumtree over 3 years and has pedals and a entry bass for sale too. He's asking £230 with a hardcase,less without the case. That can't be right ? If you're in Glasgow and interested. http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/boomslang-fretless-bass-sunburst/1125057479

I second that

100% agree with /\

I've had 25 years to get over it Back then with no internet and folks desperate for cash it probably happened quite often. I didn't do too badly,paid £500 for the Wal a couple of years before. SG got sold for £200 and I had a place to live
