I would imagine that it depends on the age of the company producing the bass. 10 years back anything from the 80's would be 'vintage' and yet the basses would be potentially 20 year old... probably similar situation with the likes of Overwater etc. For me a vintage Fender is NOT going to be an 80's Fender!

[quote name='Linus27' post='1375031' date='Sep 15 2011, 11:20 PM']Which means different woods for the two necks. Is there any other difference in terms of wood for the body and pre-amps etc or are they exactly the same?[/quote] The old LX were Cherry wood bodies then later maple (as per SSI) and again the preamps and pups were pretty much identical on the earlier basses and I doubt the later ones have changed other than in line with the parallel ranges.

[quote name='dc2009' post='1374969' date='Sep 15 2011, 10:34 PM']I do like yours [b]What's the difference between an LX and a Stage 1?[/b] If I ever bought a streamer it'd be a tossup between a Jazzman and a $$ methinks.[/quote] LX is bolt-on and Stage I is neck-thru

Fender... great big horrible flat planks of wood! That's all.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1373401' date='Sep 14 2011, 04:46 PM']Hmmm... It looks really like a modded MIA that Warwickhunt used to own (and Bottomendian before that, I think)... I really like the newer P's and J's. They look solid.[/quote] It does 'look' like my old one but it isn't as that resides with my keyboard player. Oh and Bottomendian did own it... but I had it before and after him! Oddly enough I advertised that bass on here and I got virtually no interest (I sold it for a LOT less than The Gallery bass) despite the pup installation being done at The Gallery and the bass having Nordstrands in it. If the bass had been a 1/2-1lb lighter I'd have most certainly kept it. Oh and well remembered about the pickguard cut-away Clarky.

Hmmm. They may well be nice basses but that's a damn silly way to sell them! The chances of somebody actually wanting a pair of Ray's is limited but to compound it they are Ltd Ed and he is asking top whack hence the outlay is a fair old wedge.

Just out of interest which amp is it?

[quote name='karlfer' post='1360461' date='Sep 2 2011, 09:45 PM']It finished with no bids. Am I missing something?[/quote] It's potentially a 'bitsa' bass in a nasty colour... I'd not chance £700 just as you didn't.

Anything much over 9lb but there is an allowance for quality of balance (though a 10lb bass is 'too' heavy regardless of balance or strap material/width).

I only have 2 on the wall but she approves of the look so I will be putting the other three up tomorrow! Cheers for posting![/quote] Result! Spend some time to work out your spacings and your home and dry with swmbo.

[quote name='Count Bassie' post='1357725' date='Aug 31 2011, 04:53 PM']Maybe I can clear up what I meant also- I didn't think I was looking at reflections anymore, after you explained it to me.[/quote] I know exactly what you man about looking chrome!

[quote name='cd_david' post='1357605' date='Aug 31 2011, 02:58 PM']I love the Warwick next to the corvette? [u]Have you been selling some John[/u]?[/quote] The one next to the Corvette (Infinette) is a 5th Anniversary Streamer (made in 84 to celebrate the anniversary in 87 ) and by all accounts owned when new by JPJ but I've only a handwritten letter by the distributor back in the 80's to verify that, so still looking for images or other validation. As for selling... ever so slightly Dave! A bit scary when I've just looked through pics on my hard drive (so just the last 3 years) but it amounts to... Zon (x2), PRS, Fender (x3), Musicman (x2), NS WAV, Yamaha, Spector (x2), Bolin, Squier & Warwick... x14

Do basses 'above' the settee count?
