    You're not totally wrong @Misdee, but it's about the type of bridge, not really the market as all SB-1000 of that golden era had the same specifications whatever market they were meant to. Ok, here's the explanation, the wide bridge series were at 18 mm and the bridge was chrome abd it was often for the budget models. The high end series had normal bridges with that delirious 15.5 mm and always in brass, hence gold tuners to match it. Hope it helps.

    Sadly, I just checked and he's not taking orders anymore, he's close to retirement and I think he's finishing his order book before it... https://www.bassculture.de/

    Christoph Dolf from BassCulture pickups in Germany made me one replacement pickup a few years ago for an SB-800 and it sounded exactly like an original one.

It's a full collection of the 4 first years of these mythical pedals, all fully working, so two OctaveR and two Octave pedals. Check the photos the see the real condition: the 1982 and 1985 are in excellent condition as well as their boxes (the 1985 being complete with the manual and goodies), the 1983 has some paint "bubbles" (the least I can say is that the box is well used) and the 1984 has a big shoe tip mark where it's supposed to be.

    Bert, aren't you mistaking frequency and pitch? Brits have high pitch voices lacking low mids frequencies and Scandinavians have loads of low mids in their voices, but can go as high if not higher than Brits, so they certainly win when it comes yo frequency range...

    Better buy an original one or a reissue model as there's nothing close to this bass, except the Aria SB-800, which is not that common at all Also remember that the strings spacing at the bridge is very narrow on the original model: 15.5 mm, but most of the time, you'll read 16 mm, hélas, it's really 15.5 mm!?! The reissue called SB-1000B and made a few years ago was at 19 mm, which is way more playable. There are some originals in France at quite decent prices: https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/instruments_de_musique/2866075440 https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/instruments_de_musique/2219274676 And here's where @Prostheta sells his preamps and parts: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265814794036 Good quest.

    Everywhere I go, if there's a music shop (new or second hand), I go in just to see what they have in stock, but most of the time I simply take a look as it's too often "misery at delirious prices" exposed. I bought my Ibanez Jazz Guitar while on holiday in France (Lille, near the Belgian border) some 20 years ago, because it was the kind of guitar I was after and the team was very sympathetic (the vintage D'Angelico they had in stock was amazing, but a tad bit out of budget 🤪 ). I also came back from Italy (Sienna, Tuscany) with a rare EBS active box in the trunk of the car and had some nice talking with the team. If there's something interesting, I'll buy it, if there's nothing, I'll simply get out ... and my wife always gets in with me.

    I like the tone and the look of the bass in the video, Marco. 👍👌

    I had the same experience with loads of pre CBS, and even worst, CBS Fender's : planks badly made and poorly when not totally dull sounding, that's certainly why I'm playing luthier's basses since so many many many years. That said I owned a terrific sounding defretted 1964 Fender Precision Bass and also a fretted 1966 Fender Precision Bass as reliced as Rory Gallagher's Stratocaster. A 1968 Fender Jazz Bass I owned was excellent too, but it was also defretted one, but that's all. And I owned loads of them...

    And in the rest of the world, replace the point by a comma and do the opposite for the thousands.

    Lowering the feet of your bridge isn't that complicated: Simply "stick" a piece of sandpaper on the top of your instrument (this will follow the shape) and then sand slowly and neatly following the strings length. If you work as explained, you'll have a full contact bridge.

    I play both... 😉

    Funny, 2 GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon combos and 2 extension cabinets of the same brand and make later, I went back to the black and yellow brand too... And these brand new iterations again made in Italy sound really really good.

    Moan on. First finger = thumb Second finger = index Third finger = major Fourth finger = annular Fifth finger = auricular Instead of using the same stupid terminology as electric bass player naming their pickups front or rear 🤦, simply use the correct names for your fingers, everybody will instantly and clearly understand what you mean. Moan off.
