    Seem to be back up to £399

    I agree with Happy Jack about checking out the B to make sure it’s not floppy. However I have both 34 & 35 which are both fine. Spector are great and 5’s are generally 35”. Look for a Legend rather than Performer, should be within budget. You get the curved body which is Spector’s speciality.

    Much nicer looking than most Les Pauls.

    Won’t the scale length be all wrong?

    I notice it’s made in Arroyo Grande California. My daughter lives there, didn’t know they had a luthier in the town. It’s just down the road from San Luis Obispo, home of Music Man.

    Congratulations. That’s a great looking bass, do I detect a little tip of the hat towards Ric? I am amazed it’s under 7lb.

    Not so much fakers - perfect clones. Fab-u-Lous.

    You probably won’t like this, it’s a 2013 Gibson EB.

    Always loved the look of these but never had a chance to play one. It seems surprising heavy at 4.4k for a chambered body.

    Don’t know why Fender dropped these, good shape, what’s the weight like? I haven’t heard of mint red before 😆😁😃😂

    I had the strap fitment come undone mid gig and my Jazz bass hit the ground knocking over the aviom unit in the process . Not cool.

    Looks like you may become the test case!

    Why’s the neck on back to front on the Limelight? Must make tuning awkward. There was a reason why Leo designed 4 on one side.

    I thin k it should be a Rickenfaker, 4003 shape but with a hollow body. Nice big slash ‘f’ hole like the 360. Try a piezo pickup bridge like the Fishman to give it an alternative sound to what e er magnetic pickup grabs your fancy!

    Used to have an Olympic white US Precision Fretless with a white guard - the one I shouldn’t have let go! Sadly I can’t find an pics of it 😢

    Bling ‘snot my thing, but definitely cool, you should have had Elvis’ gold suit too!

    Almost my YOB Bass.

    Tort on Black - handsome. Much better than white or black.

    I don’ t think we ever got a picture of the Guild so here it is. Has really nice maple back and for under £500 is reasonably priced.

    I suppose the thin line was Fender’s attempt at a Gibson sound. For years Gibson have tried the opposite without success.

    Me too! Having struggled with the close spacing of a mandolin, it’s a big jump down from basses, I bought an Octave Mandola which tunes the same but is a lot more comfortable spacing. I’m on my second a hand made maple backed one by Robin Greenwood who has a workshop near Poole in Dorset. Lovely instrument.
  22. Grahambythesea
    Would I be right in thinking this version is short scale?
  23. Grahambythesea
    So are the fakes as heavy as the originals - 9lbs+?
  24. Grahambythesea
    Not at £2450!
  25. Grahambythesea
    Love the look of them, but like FinnDave, don’t think I could handle 30” scale, and I think they have incredibly skinny necks, perhaps not quite as thin as the Framus Bill Wyman used to play but pretty close!
