  1. Hi BCers, Just wanted to see what you make of my recent addition to my collection in late August of this year, I've wanted one since I was four having found it on a picture inside a cassette. Theres only 20 of this type made by Grover Jackson of Jackson Charvel Guitars so I had to import it from the US - this is the last one on sale: [url="http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb-Charvel-Star-Legacy-1H-Gold-Bolt-SALE-.html"]http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb-Charvel-Sta...Bolt-SALE-.html[/url] I received a DVD of the workshops activities and interviews from San Dimas Los Angeles plus a signed check list and C.O.A - all the Luthiers now work for Fender or Jackson's Custom Shop. I'm threatened with having to sell it (I won't!!) this is only part of the reason I've put it up, I'm more intrigued as to your first impression/knowledge of the guitar/company...
  2. [quote name='LukeFRC' post='996935' date='Oct 22 2010, 12:23 PM']brilliant! you decided to keep playing the bass then?[/quote] Did indeed Luke '56 P bass replica inbound . James Brown played a part in the persuasion.
  3. [quote name='BassBod' post='996928' date='Oct 22 2010, 12:17 PM']Nice one Oli! Fancy a Sadowsky??? [/quote] Haha dont tempt me further, you'll be the first I consult if I don't like it
  4. [quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='996916' date='Oct 22 2010, 12:07 PM']Sold to Oli - pending payment! Thanks for all the interest guys - you are a class bunch of bassists![/quote] Cheers Kevin! I learnt from missing out on your Nordy's previously, not sure whether to laugh or cry at current - exciting all the same!
  5. The neck on my old Tokai Hardpuncher was superbly comfy and very similar to the G&L L2000 Tribute I recently owned.
  6. Further proof of its versatility: Ed Friedland the reviewer for Bassmagazine in the US uses a GBE1200 with 212T Neo Cab, And that guy plays A LOT of basses
  7. [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' post='995717' date='Oct 21 2010, 11:22 AM']Can't believe there's no interest in this beauty BUMP![/quote] I love it, just can't afford it. Sure its the same for other at the moment, but Pedulla Buzz/MVPs are near my favourite bass.
  8. [quote name='Toasted' post='995002' date='Oct 20 2010, 04:10 PM']3 months is a [i]very[/i][ short time to wait for a custom instrument. I'm also laughing behind my hand that John Shuker has quoted you 3 months to completion - a good friend of mine has been waiting nearly 2 years. There are many custom builders in the UK. There are lots of threads about them, try a search. Personally of the two options you give I'd let Martin do the whole thing.[/quote] Could you be assed to wait two years!!? Say you fancied a P bass back then but your GAS/taste changed to a Jazz...gutted! I think i'd forget it was coming.
  9. I don't like the ying yang on instruments, it puts me off the Warwick Stage II Streamer with those inlays. I just think its a lil tacky. Its not a major put off but for the money! This coming from a man with a red burst bolt of lightening on a metallic gold guitar...Glad to hear your enjoying the Fodera though!
  10. [quote name='MB1' post='994225' date='Oct 19 2010, 11:01 PM']MB1. It be a 2 band eq Oli! [/quote] Then thats the sex!! Too bad I can only trade n px about. Gutted, love blue basses all of a sudden!
  11. Is it 2eq or 3eq?
  12. [quote name='Adee' post='992490' date='Oct 18 2010, 05:31 PM']Split !?[/quote] I'd love to but I need a buyer for the head
  13. [quote name='hagguy' post='991895' date='Oct 18 2010, 04:11 AM']what kind of basses would you consider for swaps?[/quote] I'd only consider guitar amps in trade from now on.
  14. [quote name='magicmarco' post='991245' date='Oct 17 2010, 04:14 PM']Hi, Let me know if you are interested. I see your from Carlisle / Cardiff. If you were around Carlisle next week I could meet you as I will be visiting Penrith. All the best[/quote] Aww damn, i'm in my Student accomodation in Cardiff at current. I only hesitate because I've always fancied the two pickup model - doesn't look as good as this one though for the condition.
  15. [quote name='Adee' post='991717' date='Oct 17 2010, 10:20 PM']Errr split them ?[/quote] I spose...OR!! You could take the whole rig off me for a grand stack the 212s high with the 750 sitting pretty up top
  16. Hmm, any advice on selling this or am I just looking to Ebay again?
  17. I'd use it live, i'd only collect the really old stuff and use anything new till I got my £1200 worth out of it. They'll make a bass out of stainless steel or something one day and it'll make all our basses redundant a worthless like the old Hofners - You've all seen the Gibson robot!!
  18. Love both the colour and the relic'ing on this - I used the mutes on my '94 sterling before it went
  19. MECs are quite dull, thumpy sounding to begin with but adding afzelia makes it even funkier still - you can see why those Warwick Stage 2's are an awesome combo - as is this. My favourite tone. I'll always hold warwick in high regard, the pickups and neck profile of my 4 was fantastic... Even if it was only the simple Rockbass Streamer
  20. Really tempted to buy this for £500 just to keep for history's sake, love it when people really look after their stuff.
