I have the one which was sold at Bass Bros recently. I added a tort pickguard as not the greatest fan of block colour scratch plates! I had seen one at Bass Gallery which was Birdseye maple and I have seen another with rosewood go through Bass Bros too. All I know is it’s a great bass, vintage feeling neck and some great electronics. Loving position 2 ( single coil-p style) and 4 ( Lakland voicing- three coils).

I think I picked up a sledge coloured sabre. Is it correct that there are only two of this colour in the U.K.?

Coming back to my initial question. So no one here has bought one, seen one or played one? 4 months wait without trying one is a stretch too far for me I think!

Import and shipping doesn't help but does seem rich- I mean if I could find a used joe dart ii for a good price I would go for it...

Has anyone seen a Joe Dart II one in a shop in U.K. to even try? What’s the cost of it once it’s in country?

Has anyone in the U.K. actually ever seen one or played one?

Where can one see this mentioned amazing sounding video?

Did you ever do a review?

looking at Bergantino amps for the first time. I am looking at rig that can cover doing small gigs and home rehearsals/practise. do I go super pre or do I push for the bi-amp or forte hp ( and keep saving to get just a 1x 12 or 2x10 Bergantino cab in time)? can I run this head out to DI into PA like a pedal? And practise at home without a cab plugged in?

Three years ago I stupidly traded in a Warwick '98 BO Thumb for a MIM jazz bass. I was skint at the time and just wanted a change and hadn't played for years... I realised I have not only lost the bass, but I pretty much have also lost all the capital I had invested in it.. I swapped a bass which was at £700 for a straight swap... saw it online at the shop for £1250 the week after.. If I know try and sell the jazz bass now I'll be lucky to get £350-400 for it... so my take home is only trade up, never trade down!

Did you remember if he played any fretless live when you saw him in 1987

An old thread to revive but I am having a love affair with the tone from Michael Visceglia on the album “days of open hand”. Does anyone know what effects or basses he is used back then? I know he plays a lakland Bob glaub j bass nowadays. I just love the tone of his 5 string work and of his fretless. Is it octave with compression? Just resonates in that tone cavity in my chest.. I have a nice jazz fretless so just wondering how he gets that ‘chewy’/ burp sound.. I know he loves j style basses so could just have been a j style 5 and j style fretless.. just wondering what others thought?

What did you think was a nicer sounding/better box?

I wish they still made these. Seems not available as a unit anywhere. Nothing on reverb or eBay for U.K.
