Now on line! Looks really good on the screen. [url="http://www.guitar-bass.net/features/bass-odyssey/"]http://www.guitar-bass.net/features/bass-odyssey/[/url] As I said at the start of the thread - not entirely all my own words but not far off. Cheers.

Mmm, Never seen that one before! Interesting.

Hi. I have a Gordy Headless. Any pics of yours?

Very, Very, Very . . . . . Nice! If these are your first attempts. . . . . . I shall be visiting your blog again. Cheers.

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1402780154' post='2476801'] Just read it this morning, some cracking gear and a good read. [/quote] Thank you. I've had some really nice comments, from many quarters. The more, the merrier. Cheers.

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1402768872' post='2476691'] If that was near me, I'd probably be 'round the back of the booze shop in a flash, regardless of the ongoing downsizing. Really silly bargain, someone get it bought, even if you just want to flip it for a few bob. The C prefix on the SN indicates Cort, so it'll likely be very good, if my Cort-built Ibby EDA900 is anything to go on. Jon. [/quote] Jon, Hi. My SR900, looks nothing like that. [i]Is [/i]that an SR900? Am I losing touch with SR Models?

When I stasrted reading this thread, I thought I would add my tuppence worth! It seems, however that you have pretty much said what I was going to. Top player.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1402441840' post='2473655'] We discussed Lincoln basses on here some years ago. Looks nice, but not worth £500 I think. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Rare-Bass-Guitar-/301211595720?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item46219c33c8"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item46219c33c8[/url] [/quote] Blimey! Don't see many of them! I have one and it has a surprisingly deep, full tone. Nice to play - as with most of these shapes, a bit of a diver but nothing too extreme. Don't think I would have paid 500 sheets for it!! Ouch! Cheers.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1402424717' post='2473420'] And now I've had a chance to read the article, that was most entertaining. Good to see a collection of mostly basses and more so that they weren't all big US makes.[i] More like this please G&B if you are reading.[/i] [/quote] Thanks. It was discussed that if the article got a good response, I could do Part Deux! There are some [i]really interesting[/i] other guitars and basses, that missed out on this one. So, you never know - if enough people like you, make it known that they enjoyed it. . . . . . maybe do another one, next year. Cheers.

Nope. . . . . . Still not got over it! Congratulations, you have bowled me over! I do recall the start of this build but then for some reason the updates passed me by. I do not and never have had, a guitar screen saver but I will do now! Really looking forward to seeing your comments on it, when you have had it for a few weeks. Cheers.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1402352541' post='2472649'] Well done. Can't help but think of what the "25 ways to upgrade your strat" are? For most strat players I know, removing the strings would be 1st priority. [/quote] Thank you. Regarding your Stat comment, it actually made me laugh out loud. I [i]think [/i]it's OK for me to do that, as I also play guitar. I'm still chuckling as I type this - the memories of 40 odd years, have just flashed by me and quite a few came to mind! Chuckle!

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1402294046' post='2471679'] This, well done Mr Eric! [/quote] Thanks. I'm pleased with it. As with anything in print, it isn't [i]exactly [/i]what I said but very close. Had some nice messages and positive comments - it is my individual taste and as Lars said "there's a lot of brown!" I had never really thought of it until you look at the group shot but he's right! Maybe I'll get to do Part II, another time - it was a lot of fun to do and there are many that have not even been seen on the blog, yet. . . . . Next year? Cheers.

Ohhhhh Nohhhhhhh. Can't make that one, either. Where else are you?

Ibby Explorer - a rare thing, indeed - you must have had the other one, in the UK. LOL! Nope, Lars is Lars is Lars! A real larger than life character - great bloke, with so much enthusiasm.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1402137303' post='2470316'] Looks like my old white 70ri CIJ Precision 'Sid' on the back right of the cover photo [/quote] Clarky - Hi. I still have "Sid" but that's not him - That is a Parkinson Precision. I'll do Sid next time, if given the chance to do this sort of thing again. Cheers.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1402083560' post='2469978'] Congratulations! Probably my favourite part of the magazine each month. [/quote] Thanks - Hope you enjoy it - let me know. Cheers.

Hi to all in Basschat world. If anyone is interested. A couple of months back, I was very fortunate to meet up and work with Lars Mullen. He does a monthly feature on guitar collections, as well as a host of other things - the guy never seems to stop!!!!! So, today is the day - Guitar and Bass magazine, featuring some of my collection, is on sale, as they say "in most good quality newsagents. A really great person to work with, who is very passionate about his work. Top bloke! For fans of the unusual, it may be worth a read. Jon - plenty of Far East content, for you. Hope you enjoy. Cheers. Latest Blog post - Story behind the feature: [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/"]http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/[/url]

A man of great taste - one of my all time greats. Anyone who has a leaning towards this - get it - you will not be disappointed with it. A great bass!! Cheers.

So wish I was closer!! Typical - been in Surrey for the last two days! Bah Humbug!! We do a lot of Lizzy numbers and we all love playing them. To see the whole thing, all the way through, is well worth the ticket price. Good luck, hope all goes well and let me know if you ever get to do it again. All the best. Cheers.

Hi. I have one of these - it's a really nice medium scale bass. Quite often there are players on here, who are looking for a good medium scale. They wouldn't go wrong with a 400. As with so many instruments, a bit underrated but when players do get their hands on them, I think they are a little surprised and how nice they are to play and the tones that are available. Is it the four in line tuners or the two a side? Cheers.
