[quote name='giblett123' post='1187795' date='Apr 4 2011, 02:27 PM']Hi, I'm not sure about the nut spacing but if you mail Alan on: [email protected] and tell him it's the recurve 6 number 048 he'll be able to tell you, the flat board is a doddle to play, works really well with an asymmetric neck profile, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do price wise too. Cheers Chris.[/quote] Bump.

[quote name='Bass Awkward' post='1187722' date='Apr 4 2011, 01:21 PM']I really quite fancy this. I'm going to hop down to my local emporium and see if I can stand the drop in spacing to 17mm (incidentally, what's the nut spacing - it's somewhat overlooked that nut spacing affects the spacing over the fingerboard too), and how well the non-radiused fingerboard works on a 6 (not that they'll have one in stock, but I'm reasonably confident it'll be fine - I seem to recall I played a flat fretless of a friend's). Thereafter, all being well, I'll send you a PM, and see if I can come down South and meet you.[/quote] Hi, I'm not sure about the nut spacing but if you mail Alan on: [email protected] and tell him it's the recurve 6 number 048 he'll be able to tell you, the flat board is a doddle to play, works really well with an asymmetric neck profile, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do price wise too.

[quote name='giblett123' post='1177496' date='Mar 26 2011, 07:34 PM']They are seriously good basses, I've sold one of my P basses so I'm now going to hold onto this one!

[quote name='giblett123' post='1180389' date='Mar 29 2011, 06:28 AM']Midweek bump, just in case! [/quote] Another price drop, noooooh!

[quote name='giblett123' post='1178229' date='Mar 27 2011, 01:17 PM']3 months(ish), I guess its a sign of the times, there's lot of belt tightening going on out there and gear isn't shifting like it used to, the shape is probably also an acquired taste, I love it though! Price wise i think its pitched pretty well even though the custom stuff doesn't seem to fetch as much s/h as more mainstream rivals, dunno, I should have an experiment to see how low I can go without selling but I too am trying to curb the old spending! [/quote] Midweek bump, just in case!

[quote name='jackjazz' post='1177513' date='Mar 26 2011, 07:46 PM']Can't believe this hasn't sold for this price.

[quote name='BeLow' post='1177489' date='Mar 26 2011, 06:30 PM']I was very tempted buy this but went for a custom build in the end - there is something rather special about it and whoever buys will have a great bass I am sure.[/quote] They are seriously good basses, I've sold one of my P basses so I'm now going to hold onto this one!

[quote name='Scoop' post='1145467' date='Mar 1 2011, 10:17 AM']Supressed market, job losses, belt tightening. It's a scary world out there and not much is shifting. This is a truly daft price for a fabulous bass and I'm frankly astonished that it's not shifted. I'm toying with the idea of selling my Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub (which I never use any more) to raise some dosh for this. The problem is of course, that that probably won't sell either. Have a bumb anyway while I have a think about it.[/quote] Been a while so up!

[quote name='karlfer' post='1175539' date='Mar 25 2011, 07:29 AM']I don't suppose it's one of the rarer ones with 1.5 inch nut width is it? Cheers, Karl.[/quote] I'll check it when I get in but off the top of my head I think it's the 41.2mm P, it is however quite a shallow profile compared to a lot of P's I've played.

[quote name='giblett123' post='1175041' date='Mar 24 2011, 06:31 PM']Evening everyone, Here we have the latest in my “fund raising clear out”; this is my Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub, which I’ve had for about 12 months from new. The bass is in stunning condition, and has been professionally upgraded by Nigel Roberts at Leicestershire luthier. I wasn’t overly keen on the original frets so Nigel has re-fretted this with a smaller gold Evo fret wire, also in the process I got him to drop in a Bare Knuckle 65 custom wound pickup and stick on some TI flats + full set up. Condition wise it is first rate and has no issues whatsoever. Playing wise it has a serious vintage P bass thump, a great sounding bass but not getting a huge amount of playing at the mo. In terms of price I’m looking for £650 (Inc Lakland bag), I can ship if required but no trades this time please, it’s a fund raiser. Cheers for looking Chris.[/quote] PS, for those who've asked, its the Korean built version, not Indonesian although I'm not sure there is much difference!

[quote name='alexlotta' post='1172054' date='Mar 22 2011, 01:20 PM']Damn .I just got my singlecut custom Bolt-on from Woodtronics basses ,and this one pops out .Mine is a beauty (and far more costly) ,but this one seems so fair for the price. Only thing i dont like is the fingerboard too long after last fret (i'd like to "slap"more close to last fret), but i like a lot the neck profile..and the bolt on is so similar to mine .Good luck with the sale .[/quote] Cheers dude, there are a few similarities between the two, both top stuff!

[quote name='Chris2112' post='1171680' date='Mar 22 2011, 07:11 AM']This is even better value now! A great chance to own a bass made by Britain's best luthier![/quote] They are wonderful basses and this one sounds awsome, I'm not even sure I want to part with it but I have another acg on the way (fewer strings for my duff technique) and with that I will have 7 basses, some aren't getting played and I could do with freeing up some dosh!

[quote name='giblett123' post='1170291' date='Mar 21 2011, 06:05 AM']Ahhh, you could always give in to temptation![/quote] Wee price drop to get things moving.
