    So did Fender do that sort of stuff? That's the bit I haven't found any evidence of. All the other lollypop machine-heads I've seen have been bright and shiny. I've always assumed they were chrome finish.

    Thanks. If it's not a CS, the certificate, back plate, tool kit, strap, user manual etc have been well forged. In any respect it plays the best of any of my basses. I suspect from what you say, combined with the pictures on the web that the machine heads have been 'forced-aged' to a degree not commonly seen. I might leave well alone and see what the look like after 10 years of my grubby fingers. Thanks for the feedback.

    Errrrr they might be! How do you tell?

    This has been annoying me for a bit. My favourite CS Bass.....a second hand 66 transition Jazz, came with very matt lollypop machineheads. Was this a thing, or is it just zealous ageing? Because all of my other machines have a chrome finish.
  5. Piers_Williamson
    Errr I don't think this one's been mentioned yet
  6. Piers_Williamson
    Don't know whether this is the right place, or 'show us yer Wals'.
  7. Piers_Williamson
    great choice. Wasn't that his fretless Sabre with an octaver?

    I was always told Live and Dangerous was one of the most over-dubbed live records in history....... Good to see at least one basschatter likes Shadows and Light Does anyone know who played Bass on the King Curtis Live album (recommend Soul Stew!)

    Derek's still got the same Cherry Burst Precision hasn't he?
  10. Piers_Williamson
    Were you in the Commandos then?
  11. Piers_Williamson
    These are VERY good when added onto a compact suitcase (I have two). Really clean sound......great in conjunction with an effects board.

    I don't mean to hijack this thread for rock climbing interest, but that certainly doesn't look like North Wales. What a great picture!
  13. Piers_Williamson
    A great climb! Glad to hear there are a few lovers of the other Rock on basschat

    Answering my own question....no its not, the symbol on the Precision really gives it away. This was c 1982
  15. Piers_Williamson
    Is the T Shirt included ☺️
  16. Piers_Williamson
    OK, I have found this interesting. I take it the bloke I took a picture of a long time ago was Michael Dempsey:

    Weighs exactly the same as my Wal II 5er. Beautiful bass. Wish I was right handed (with very long arms)
  18. Piers_Williamson
    Looks lovely! How much does it weigh?
  19. Piers_Williamson
    then of course there's this (fantastic bass line)
  20. Piers_Williamson
    As in: "infamy, infamy, this bass has got it infamy!"??
  21. Piers_Williamson
    I'd buy it if the kitten was included (Joke!)
  22. Piers_Williamson
    So Arcade Fire swap the drummer as well. Is this the latest thing in displaying musical ability (bah humbug!)

    https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2021/06/26/the-fearless-flyers-lost-my-treble-long-ago-live-at-msg/ Looking at this vid, it is slightly odd seeing Joe move and the bass not..... It looks a good arrangement though. Anyone else use bass (playing) stands?
  24. Piers_Williamson
    If it's any help, I used a bike box from halfords (double wrapped) to get it up to big thumb, and kept the side grab handles of the flight case exposed, so the courier could use them (With lots of 'this way up signs')

    Shouldn't it be "Asphixiates from Boston.....10 letters?" I am really enjoying this thread by the way
