I think that the new ones could cure anyone of logophobia.

What are the areas that you wish to improve on ?

Black Tort Gold

Less than 1 minute searching revealed this. [url="http://www.axesrus.com/axepupcovs.htm"]http://www.axesrus.com/axepupcovs.htm[/url]

Some of my exes in the front garden and my three twins in the back garden.

That'll mean it will be available at car boot sales in two weeks time then.

I never liked the Arias first time round,i even owned one and could'nt get on with it.I think i sold it for £200 ?,but i played one a couple of weeks ago,and,hmmmm,i think that i could happily own one now. I'll join in with a pic of 3 basses that i wish i had never sold, 1 - The first bass that Bass Doc built for me, 2 - 1978 Precision 3 - B/W Hohner 2BA There are MANY more,sadly.

This one. Fender body - stunning birdseye neck by Jim Cairnes - EMG Select pickups - gold Schaller hardware -built by our very own BC legend Bass Doc about 10 years ago.

I have EMG Selects in both of my gigging basses,they are noiseless.

It looks like the private stock refers to the top quality wood reserved for the highest end instruments.

Could you not use a BBOT bridge with the screw thread type saddles ?

My Jazz used to be Salmon Pink with gold hardware

[quote name='discreet' post='862405' date='Jun 9 2010, 05:48 PM']Me neither... gold hardware is the bass equivalent of a porn star's rolex and medallion... from the seventies.[/quote] I'll get me coat then....................................the one with tassels on. Gold hardware,bah humbug,bunch of billy no-tastes

If you are in any way confused about your sexual leanings,do'nt buy it.

Im not sure what you mean by lower end one.The Hohner is a licenced copy of the Steinberger.The Quality of the Hohners imo,are really good.I know that they came with different pickup configurations,and came in active or passive types.The only ones that i have tried are ones with the EMG active pickups (same size as a guitar humbucker) Mine was my main gigging bass at the time,good sound and tone. I believe that there is a Steinberger Spirit model available now that is a licenced copy,i've seen a few,and the quality did'nt look as good as the Hohner to me.I will get another one someday.

I just checked,they have the Steinberger name on the bridge & the body,as in this pic.

I may be wrong,it was years ago,but it may say "licenced by Steinberger" on the Bridge.

They do'nt die,they become highly desireable,superior,fantastic quality collectable,vintage instruments..............witness the price of 70's Fenders. more un-nerving than that..............................how come every vintage fender is not complete with locking trem/locking nut/humbuckers ? there were tons of them in the 80's,where are THEY now ?

Very rare,i had one about 10 years ago,fantastic bass,i miss it. I have a pic somewhere.
