    [quote name='jbhoward1994' post='1355741' date='Aug 29 2011, 09:48 PM']I own a Gibson Grabber 1976 original had it about a year, I absolutely love the bass, but really want a fender jaguar, So maybe looking for a trade for a fender jaguar if anyone is up for it, hopefully in black or sunburst. The Gibson is amazing is really worn, where been gigged and toured before I owned it, pictures can be posted if wanted, message me if any interests thank you[/quote] [i]Definitely[/i] post pictures.

    WOW. The bass, that is. Please give us your address, and what time you will be at work.

    That there was my first 'proper' bass, hot on the heels of a Gibson EB copy made my 'Eros' which was purchased for £20. The encore was £199 new at the time, my Dad agreed to pay half if I could save up the first £100. Fantastic sounding bass if I remember correctly. Around that time, a friend's sister started a saturday job at the same place as me and wanted to leartn how to play the bass. Being totally lovestruck I lent her the Encore... She didn't really learn to play it much passed beginner level, but we eventually got together - We've now been together 12 years, married for 1, and have a 6 month old daughter. So it was a very special bass for me. (sorry for going off topic!)

    That's fantastic, glad Jack turned out to be nice guy after all that waiting around too! I've met a few of my 'heroes' over the years, some of which I wish I hadn't... Jack has to be one of the few bassists to whom a Thumb bass looks in proportion.

Thanks for the bump.

    Open to offers bump! Who knows what sort of bargain you may nab yourself...

    I loved the first song, the rest were a bit 'smooth' for me.

    Bump. Really don't want to have to put this on Ebay but there's been almost a complete lack of interest on here!

    [quote name='robocorpse' post='1349626' date='Aug 23 2011, 10:27 PM']To be fair, it has 2 very nasty bashes on it, one on the bottom point near the controls thats down to wood. Photo link in original post leads to good closeups of the dinks. I think I have priced it VERY fairly though. It plays really nicely despite the usual BCRich neck angle issues, and if I had more time, I would do the bridge rout mod and get it absolutely gnats-wing on the 12th fret First offer of 220 takes it, it's not actually THAT metal, it has the metal shape, but the trans finish and curly maple just oozes class...[/quote] Oh yeah. Didn't look at the old thread. Still a bargain.

    It's all about [i]how[/i] you hit the open E.

    The great thing about lots of JE's basses is that they look like the sort I used to draw on the back of my school books when I was a kid.

    [quote name='Muzz' post='1349008' date='Aug 23 2011, 02:06 PM']"I know this guitard, his guitars are high output so they push his amps harder. I can't imagine him turning down. He's gone deaf now, so his tone's rubbish." Doesn't that sound good? [/quote] That sounds dangerously close to Entwistle bashing, we don't take kindly to that round these parts...

    I have a Spector Euro up for sale... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=149896&hl=spector"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=spector[/url] It's a 4 string but works great strung BEAD, the previous owner had it strung like that. PM me if interested, I need it gone thanks to a considerable bill (ahem*Rickenbacker*) so could do you a great price...

    [quote name='Muzz' post='1347738' date='Aug 22 2011, 08:10 AM']I've just been reading that page, when one of the stupidest things I've seen in a while jumped out at me: "The bass was so loud on stage The Who and their road crew used to vacate my side of the stage whenever I played it." A. It's the amp, not the bass, John. B. Turn it down a bit, John. If that had come from a guitarist, I know what I'd be calling him... [/quote] John's quote was perfectly reasonable if you ask me. His Alembic basses were known for their high output, which would have pushed his amps a lot harder. And seriously, can you imagine JE turning down on stage? That's why he went deaf later on and ended up with that 'interesting' tone he got with the Status...

    [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' post='1348158' date='Aug 22 2011, 05:09 PM']I really need this gone so am willing to entertain offers! Nothing daft like '50p' though. [/quote] What he said.

    [quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1348225' date='Aug 22 2011, 06:21 PM']Wow, that's my old Mockingbird. What the f*ck has happened to it? Looks like someone used it to clean out a scrap yard [/quote] Looks pristine to me. I used to have one of these, excellent basses and unique growly sound. You can see why Entwistle was so enamoured of that pickup arrangement!

Colour? Orange - check! Neck? Fender Jazz - check! Body? Explorer! - check![/quote] I can't watch the clip at work but if it's the bass I'm thinking of, surely it's a Precision neck? JE found the Jazz ones too thin at the nut.
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    Bump.

    I had one for a while, never really been a J man though so sold it. Also, beware of the skinny neck, my hand just didn't agree with it and I'd get cramp after about 10 minutes of serious playing. Didn't like the Badass either. Nice sound though.

    [quote name='spongebob' post='1343418' date='Aug 17 2011, 05:33 PM']Martin Sims - [url="http://www.simscustom.com"]http://www.simscustom.com[/url] Based near Bethersden, about 10 minutes outside of Ashford. I used to have 2 Rics (both gone now), but he set up both excellently last year. At the time I went in, he was doing some work with a chap's Ric that he'd couriered from the US for Martin's services. Tell him Iain from Tenterden with the Rickenbackers sent you![/quote] That's good enough for me. I'll send them an email now! Cheers.
