    Hi all, thanks for the advice - I've been working away so no decisions yet. Cheers, L

    If you're considering investing a major wedge, the Spector Shorty is likely to be of interest - dark punch and superbly designed and playable. If you're considering parting with an obscene wedge, an Alembic brown bass punches like little else. Balance is weird but construction and tone are incomparable

    Brilliant - thanks all, I think I'm getting there! Cheers!

    Ahh, maybe - think I bought them on bc ages ago but can't remember. Thank you! Any other opinions? Cheers!

    Hi all, can anybody assist with identification of strings in the image - they're DBE on a Status - light gauge and feel like nickel but could be SS. The silks are purple-blue. Lovely strings indeed - possibly Status hot wires but I didn't think these were silked? Any opinions gratefully received

    Gentlemen, thanks very much for this information - very useful indeed! I live fairly close to Manchester and have heard good things about Jack. I've also seen some of Sims work - amazing finishes. Very good advice, I'll pick this up - cheers!

    Hi all, I have a 60 'CS P with a nice plate but it's just not quite right. Does anybody know of a source of excellent quality celluloid type scratchplates (with that lovely early '60s look)? I've had a Spitfire in the past and they're beautiful but massively expensive (£200+). I'd rather avoid the spitfire route if I can find something of near quality at a reasonable price. Thanks in advance for any advice

    Almost identical to my old CS - beautiful! Incredible price IMO

    So... Wal, eh?

    three replied to mcnach's topic in Bass Guitars

    I've played loads and owned two or three (a Mk2 and Mk3 at least - ridiculous that I can't remember). They're a bass that I've always wanted to love, then when I get one, I don't. I used to play a lot of the Pro models (I lived near the distributor) and remember a pronounced v profile to the neck - I liked it a lot, many years ago, maybe not so much now. Possibly my technique, but I manage to make Wals sound much thinner than they sound in my memory.

    I use an Amp One - the AER range is totally different to any other combo that I've used - tone, power, dynamics and depth are astounding - fantastic price IMO!

    Louder, better looking, better tone, and lighter than an SVT (all IMO of course). When I walk into a venue and see one of these, I'm usually in for a treat. I'm fortunate to own a very high-end D but it will never sound like one of these

    Thanks for the comments on colour - on reflection, this could be cobalt blue (a colour that I think Christian has used in the past). The board is lovely - do you know if its Rio rosewood?

    I've owned a good number of Celinders over the years - the best J's available IMO (and I've tried pretty much everything). Is this LPB (and can you comment on condition?) I'm not sure that Christian is still building - too many difficulties In the past decade

    Ahh, this was mine - I remember selling it to the US a few years ago. Nice top, don't remember any problems with the wiring. Sold it very cheaply by current standards (but made a few bob) and it's replacement made it worth it. First saw this in the Gallery then it popped up a few years later - board was massively too wide for me, but nice to have tried. Very even across the board, accurate, detailed tone. All this was before the Fodera story took off. Very nice bass for a collector or player - really nice chestnut, though the flux pattern wasn't my favourite of Fodera's early stock. Sounds nuts, but probably a bit of a bargain! Good luck - will probably fly out!

    Hi Alan, can you let us know where pick up would be?
  16. three
    Wow, what a very beautiful bass!
  17. three
    Thanks, if these are the US version, they are extremely impressive!
  18. three
    Are these US made pickups

    Lovely to play - pencil-slender neck

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1474884128' post='3141185'] Yeah it's wonderful but I'm considering a Noble pre amp - have my whole rig on my pedal board type set up Thanks for the comment [/quote] What a coincidence - despite my recognition that I really prefer SS, I too have been thinking very seriously about a Noble to use with Fender style basses! I'll let you know if I pull the trigger (and the Agi 680 really is a tremendous pre in every way!)
  21. three
    I had one of these before I moved to Millennia - the DB680 is a staggering pre - beautiful if you're looking for valve tones (it took me a long time to realise that I wasn't!)

    Brilliant - thanks very much for the details - just love Lakland necks and very cool that they've accommodated 35 in a compact package. Tempting - can't see this lasting long - superb quality throughout
  23. three
    Any further specs on this - nut width and neck dimensions etc? A lovely looking bass!
  24. three
    An intriguing bass - do you have further details or information (age, timbers, finish, dimensions, weight, condition etc.)?

    I've played a Gibson Ripper for much of the past 35 years - inspired by Patrick Djivas of PFM (currently in the UK for two nights after a break of nearly 40 years). Have a listen to Chocolate Kings for a bit of Ripper clank. Djivas was reckoned by Pastorius to be the world's second best player too
