  1. damn you Risington, i thought i let the gas go with my new jazz but those Pensas just sound asmome
  2. i was very very close to buying a 4 string Pensa jazz, direct from Rudy Pensa at the music stop.....he was a co builder of Suhr guitars as im sure you know... i just couldnt drop 2900.00 on a jazz at the time.. i wish i had of taken the jump..i was a phone call away close.. i bought a sadowsky 5 instead...... idiot.... it was a flame maple blue with matching headstock , with maple neck, pearl blocks and the most amazing gold tone knobs with pearl inlays.. too flashy? probably, but they are jazz basses that get my GAS going like no other jazz.. Suhrs and Pensas are my holly grail of jazz basses... is there any better preamp'd tone on a jazz that Ris just posted...not imo.. there just wonderful..
  3. THE.. most amazing quilted maple top with matching headstock...its almost 3D.. i played one once with the Suhr preamp and it was prob the best transparent quality i ever played.. it sounded like the perfect 70's jazz... these are VERY expensive though...
  4. Zig, surely you have enough stunning basses?? oh.... the GAS.. i forgot..
  5. imo, there is no better a UK luthier, or the world... hes a genius
  6. those Marusczyk jazz basses are very cool.. as your just round the corner,you ever want to do a non permanent swap/try out for a RI 75 jazz let me know Bob..
  7. ive found after years of looking,getting the right jazz can be a long wait.. i think ive found it in an MIJ 75,, but time will tell.. very daunting prospect trying to hunt down a good vintage fender, with a good weight...
  8. i reckon it might be on the bar in the park.. just on the promenade. in a huge tent they put up. i could be totally wrong.. if it is, its a wicked place to see live music... beer.. sunshine.. Marcus Miller... it dont get any better than that
  9. its a while off, but i hope i see you guys there...a bass chat PM will be winging its way to you gloucestershire and non gloucestershire dudes when the time comes
  10. when i first heard this band in the early 80's, it turned me on to bass.. even if you dont like this band, Randy's bass playing greatness is undeniable... imo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J8KPhb9H1k[/media] his 16th note fingerstyle at 3.00 onwards is just awsome

  23. out of interest have you ever thought of doing a bass with flat colors Steve...i dig the nice tops though..
  24. if ever there was a bass that ive had GAS for years for.. Sukop is it... if only Steve...my sisters husband has played one of these and he said it was the finest crafted bass hes ever played, and hes played alembic, foderas..... hope the show goes well mate
