  1. The Pensa-Suhr that Victor Bailey used: https://www.skinnerinc.com/auctions/3007B/lots/34 Sold for U$D 10 455. Can be seen at: http://rudysmusic.com/used-vintage-soho-nz/vintage-pensa-suhr-koa-jazz-bass Modulus Graphite Bassstar. Non-US could be Status T-bass or J and Japanese makers may have something special there, someone already said moon. German, French, Italian makers like Meridian (and Funk-u-lator and Syntave but not Vimana)...

    Yes, the same. I was lucky to find the right sized knobs right away. Sometimes this small country that I live in (Finland, or Infland) may have two parts somewhere in Lapland - or not.

    The bass was missing the eq knobs so I visited a local electronics shop and bought few knobs and several hats. Tried red and black hats but green seemed to fit at that time. The frames are grey.
  4. Thank you for a kind offer, I do have the basic version, that works like a dream. Bought it from Taylor. On top of it i have an Oxide (might sell this), a FrantaBit, a Divaricator and a Xerograph Deluxe. Quite a work to find the sounds needed as they offer a big palette of very different noises.
  5. GK 200MB was very good and was behaving like it was far bigger. Lightweight! (sadly, it was stolen in the early 90's) Mesa 400+ was the opposite: weighed probably 300 lbs/kg. Earthshaking sound. This I did not own, but had a chance to play it live few times. Modulus Graphite customer service. I had a smallish issue with my Quantum 5 SPi custom (this happened in the late 90's). They wanted my bass back to the Factory. Fine, I paid the sending fee. It took quite some time, but one day there was a UPS guy behind my door. The bass came back with a hard shell case, a new bridge, polished surfaces and naturally the fret work was done! None of these details were asked! Neutrik plugs. Enough said. Daring Audio Phat beam has a comp, and a HPF that work like a dream live with my passive instruments. Definitely not a transparent unit. Iron Ether Divaricator really changed my use of effects. A x-over built for bassist. Thanks Taylor! Patrice Vigier, il est magnifique!

    There may be some space left for a mediocre quality pic of an AFR 304.
  7. If you are interested, one fretless neckthrough is in the Vigier p*rn thread, page 9. Handmade, oil finish, 36" scale et al. Design by Kristian Ukkonen and me. Photo by Kristian just after he completed the instrument.

    Vigier Porn!

    Do have two Passions, a burgundy red with an original teardrop hardcase (I am the second owner) and a kind of yellowburst with a detuner. Serials told that these ladies were made in 1988 and 1989. I hunted these for ages, saw the first Passion (ROM version) in the 1980's. Fell in love instantly but did not have the money at that time. Now a happy owner of these two. Lovely instruments. If the NT fretless looks somewhat long, it has a 36" scale. Passive, step attenuator, coil switch, hollow, handmade by an incredibly talented Finn, Kristian Ukkonen. Finnish birch, blackwood fretboard and walnut top. Very nice and easy to play. Straps are handmade by lady Katariina Larisuo, both sides shown.
  9. Nimbus has HP and LP filters, so you can narrow or move the reverb's frequency band to your specs. Taylor has nowadays two models, i.e. there is an S.E. version available. https://ironether.com/pedals/nimbus/ https://ironether.com/pedals/nimbus-se/
