Zombie thread…
A mate got a Marathon recently and I was instantly besotted.
he wouldn’t sell it to me.
So I went snooping and found a 1980 sunburst
So that’s his one with my ripper - it’s a late 70’s one.
this arrives next week
Totally living the dream…
I bought one of these 12 years ago and made a stunning bass - but, a recent bout of spinal pain means I need to wise up.
I was stunned at the quality of the body on the original one I built and spent about £500 on making a “custom” from it.
it hasn’t landed yet.
ive already costed making it exactly what i want…and its £450 on top which im not going to do.
but another bass is on the way and it needs to not stay long.
Get ready for the weight…14lbs ish.
£130 collected
£150 posted in UK
In answer to the OP
Every time I pick up a bass.
Im recording this weekend, originals, my basslines.
Just sat and played along to make sure I’m prepped…
I must be in a different “place” when I play with the band.
