    Aww keep the Tony Butler!! I may be moving to Cheltenham soon, so I'll probably have to buy it - my parents always say Big Country are the best live band they've seen and that's compared to Lizzy with Lynott and all sorts!!

    Nice pickguard, you made one for the USA model??

    I don't think Basschat has EVER seen one of these up for sale! I can remember reading about them in Bass Magazine when they were first released. They look fantastic, I reckon this would be an amazing instrument for some Ska as well as Classic Rock. I've just been speaking with the Fret King Masterbuilder this week, £900 for a UK built custom shop instrument is a damn fine price too!! Welcome to the forum!!

    Gorgeous, only issue to be had with ESP is sometimes they can be a tad heavy!! That's it
  7. Schnozzalee
    I wonder how much it weighs; he's playing his replica on their current tour
  8. Schnozzalee
    Well I think it's cool, i'm just too small to lift it

    You've been checking out Strats!!? I've been on a quest for the last year. The LSL saticoy is the worst i've played for the money (if you're going boutique), the 1954 50th Anniversary Masterbuilt Fender is the best i've tried. What price range are you looking within?
  10. Schnozzalee
    It look fab though, I can imagine playing it from the neck piccies
  11. Schnozzalee
    Big_Stu!! That's the BC'ers name, I knew it'd come to me, I think he owns Jim Lea of Slade's SG. 12stringbassist owns a Green 4001 on here too I think (i'm not too sure about the name, )
  12. Schnozzalee
    I've owned a 4001 type from '75 I think it was. If your a fingerstyle player like me, I would not recommend them as the pickups are so high output, and crackle to the touch.I should also mention, Birch's builds vary massively - some have neck so thin they bow from slight string tension and other's are like a baseball bat - try before you buy!! There's an SG bass in Electric Ladyland, Bristol - it's in black finish but the owner wants close to 2 grand for it and you have to go see him in person - no online shop. He has a double neck guitar/bass 4001 too but it has a repaired neck & headstock. I personally wouldn't pay more than a grand for one, but it's cool that they are vintage, custom shop basses and you can get that Geezer Butler tone straight from the plug in. The truss rod requires a 16 Box Spanner - I had to keep taking mine back to Overwater because it had so little play in over the years. If you find a decent one for sub £1k i'd keep it, my guitar tutor taught me on an SG doubleneck guitar and a green 4001 bass; in my first band, the guitarist had a J1 too, so they're a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. Hope this helps!! Feel free to ask more questions! There's a couple of nice guys on here that own Birch's, hopefully they'll see this thread

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1361211160' post='1982885'] Any better photos that would confirm this? I can't see the pickups or any logo on the headstock, and it doesn't really have enough controls to be a "classic" John Birch design. I would have also thought that something like this would have been in the John Birch catalogue of the time, but I don't recall seeing it in there. [/quote] Sorry, that was a bit blunt of me - the headstock matches the shape of John's J1 guitar
  14. Schnozzalee
    It's a John Birch
  15. Schnozzalee
    Price? Pics? Spec? Is delivery available???
  16. Schnozzalee
    Daaaaamn...just went to your youtube clips of this bass through your profile. My dad had to come in and see what I was listening to, you've really nailed a great tone there!! . Sorry to hear about your condition, is it at all similar to the reason why Scott Devine wears that glove when he plays??
  17. Schnozzalee
    I don't think it will happen, Sammy & Michael are best mates. DLR's a better performer, but Sammy's a better singer, so Mike can't lose either way I guess...
  18. Schnozzalee
    I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed my Sue Ryder P bass - less warmth and more punch. The Bravewood Telebass I owned was nice, but I prefer a split pickup tone...I don't like artificial relic'ing either.
  19. Schnozzalee
    Yeah I woulda said £500 too as a starter
  20. Schnozzalee
    That's purdy

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1360422170' post='1970120'] The most over-rated band in history Very influential etc but I have never actually listened to 90% of their stuff. Not hostile, just never went there. [/quote] Have to completely disagree, the most over-rated band in history is either Metallica, or ACDC.
  22. Schnozzalee
    Kubicki Basses, although, I do tend to think fat neck basses have better tone - my hands are too small though, so I play fat neck guitars
  23. Schnozzalee
    Me too, the legacy's gorgeous - BassDoc for a black scratchplate after purchase, you know it makes sense
  24. Schnozzalee
    Gorgeous, my birth year too!!
  25. Schnozzalee
