    Same plus refreshments, especially if short notice and significant travel involved

    Pricey but unsurpassed!

    I had a Spitfire on a J. Really, as close as you'll get to an original celluloid. Recently bought a real celluloid plate from Simms - beautiful and around half the price of the Spitfire (but the latter has the edge)

    Great that you've gigged it! The sustain is a bit of a marvel (along with the clarity and punch). When I gigged mine, it spent around 80% of the time in passive. That lacewood body is a thing of beauty too - I don't think that I've seen one previously. Fantastic instruments that don't appear for sale too often (these earlier models anyway). i'm sure that all SIIs are fantastic but I prefer the first few years of production.

    I got back into playing my old SII recently. I gigged it for years and had forgotten just how good it is

    Err...unbelievable price!

    Excellent bags with very impressive protection

    Always had a soft spot for these - absolutely lovely!

    Ooh, my mate's in Ashton - and I like your kitchen

    Lovely - where are you based?

    Wow, absolute bargain IMO!

    Ahh, good - please do keep us updated, it would be good to know if the reversed DBE resolves the problem. A lot depends on saddle to retainer and nut to post distances I imagine, but worth a try!

    You could try reversing a double ball ended string (Status etc.) and snip off the larger ball to leave a straight end for the winding post. I'm assuming here the the bass is short scale (and that the DBE strings have 2 different sized balls). I can send an old DBE E strung if you think this might work? An image would help. An alternative is to ask Newtone for a custom wind set. Another is to sell the bass to me - I love plexi basses! Though I struggle to lift them...

    Bargain! Not my kind of thing but current price new appears to be around £2.7k

    That's as good as it gets - about £20k to get a new one into the UK now. Just beautiful

    Alembic are still my favourite of the super high-end basses - absolutely lovely!
  18. three
    Probably remains the biggest bargain on here!

    I had a five and it was beautiful - if it had been a 4,I'd still have it. Tremendous playability and tone

    I've owned a custom Shuker and can attest to the quality - as good as anything F-type out there (and certainly as good as the Sadowskys, Fender CS, and Allevas I've had). An absolute bargain in my opinion!

    Absolutely lovely - fantastic figuring and the burst is exquisite!

    Lovely! Is this a SIMS guard - Martin has some beautiful celluloid nitrate tort just now?

    Great ads bgmttt - good to see very clear descriptions and very detailed and plentiful images. I can't really see but this looks like it could be an A width nut - 1.5"? Lovely!

    I'm not really a Fender player but I really love this - what a cool, iconic bass and I'd hope it plays and sounds as good as it looks. If this was much closer, I'd be tempted - good luck, understated beauty!

    Sounds absolutely glorious in the clips and i've been watching and plotting for ages. I have to keep reminding myself that I don't really get on with valve pres. it does look gorgeous though...
