  1. I think Schnozzalee has one and might be interested in selling it...... BB
  2. SH*T!!! Alarm bells now ringing - came acrsos the Zoot with literally 30 seconds to go and just jumped in. Just now checked the eBay thread on BC and this allegedly sold on the 8 july for £351. been in touch with guy this afternoon via ebay and paid by paypal as he had 0 feedback but not happy til I see it. BB
  3. I know, i know. Its a later model than the one I have, i think this may be an Artisan(?) same basic shape but 'plainer', still, would make a nice twin. Only thing is I have already bought 2 basses this week - a cracking Levinson B4 and a Zoot S4 and this is me trying to cut down!!!! AND i want doctorbass' sparkly G&L ASAT........that is a total bargain! BB
  4. Watching with a growing sensation of GASSSSSSsssssssss............. BB
  5. Love it , Love it , Love it. I may now die from GAS......... BB
  6. No, cant resist asking about this one. whats the deal with the scratchplate? The original wouldnt have had one would it? I assume it covers additional routing on the front for the new electrics. Could the plate be removed? BB
  7. Me too. Just bought a Zoot from eBay then saw this . Edit - no, must resist!!!!!! BB
  8. Nice! BB
  9. Should get myself down to the BassBash and have a good twiddle at everything BB
  10. Will not be buying new unless as a last resort ie imminent death by GAS BB ps ahpook is now entitled to punch me
  11. That is as cool as the other side of the pillow! 3k would be a bit over budget for a DB virgin like myself though. Best of luck BB
  12. First stop is to check the neck relief surely, set that properly and take it from there. Ricks are thru necks, aren't they, so can't set the pitch. Must be a few Ricky owners out there surely - I also believed Ricks to be famous for their super low action but never actually played one - more fool me BB
  13. [quote name='karlfer' post='566213' date='Aug 11 2009, 08:50 PM']1st was a £12 Futurama, real plank with strings) , bought for £52 in 1974.............Thats a cracking picture which will probably bring some wry smiles from us guys in our, err, prime. Now, where is my Sanatogen. Happy days.[/quote] Happy days +1!!! My first was a blue Futurama bought off my mates bro' for £10 in '75 i think Plank is being kind. BB
  14. Keep telling myself "It's only a bass, Its only a bass........." [url="http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/99/43466999.html"]ClickHere[/url] BB
  15. I smell fish ( and I dont mean the contents of Baldricks apple crumble) BB
  16. Good to meet up with Alex again after about 18 yrs!! Hadn't changed a bit either! And got a beautiful Levinson Blade at a great price too! BB
  17. [quote name='RhysP' post='565281' date='Aug 10 2009, 07:15 PM']Somebody just got themselves a serious bargain.[/quote] You're right there! Its in my house now! and its a cracker! Houston to Moscow in 30 minutes! Many thanks A.!!! BB
  18. PM'd
  19. [quote name='Toasted' post='564984' date='Aug 10 2009, 01:58 PM']In answer to your question: The Celinder is more of a "dinky J" body..........I got lucky, my J-Update 4 is a shade over 8lbs.[/quote] Exactly what I wanted to hear BB
  20. Luckily got distracted with domestic issues! I just sold a cracking fretless last week so it would have been crazy to buy this. Now if it had been fretted...... BB £511 not bad!
  21. I foolishly googled Korg G5 and got a Video of a guy playing a nice Steinberger XP2 - now have double GAS!!!! BB
  22. [quote name='RayFW' post='564846' date='Aug 10 2009, 12:09 PM']Which shops? I thought NYC Sadowskys could only be bought direct.[/quote] Sorry. you're probably right, make that Metros and UVs and stuff of which GuitarGuitar have 13! Bet you got all excited there! Am I bad? Anyway my point being u cant wander into a shop and buy a new Celinder or a Wal or even a Status or of course a new NYC you can see where I'm going with this. See, told you i was a snob when it comes to basses BB
  23. Not Quite - i think Alembic were the first to use graphite stiffening in their series one necks. perhaps not this one tho' but as early as 77 they had a full graphite neck 'experimental' model couresy of what was to become the Modulus company BB
  24. I am so close to doing something stupid about this one at this point (one hour to go) BB
  25. Sold to Matty! Who now has three and I have none! BB
