Just got the very same club bass in a trade for a PB-70 + cash. We met at a services in strensham. Great guy, even bought me and the missus a coffee. A pleasure to have dealt with.
Tis a vantage mystic (i think) and a fine bass! The tone is P through and through with plenty of growl. Simular to the westone thunders but passive. The pickups are dimarzio model P replicas. They're amazing. If you've never owned a matsumoku bass get one! Build quality is second to none.
Jump into the unknown for me. I don't really want to part with Si's P but as it turns out they aren't my bag and I'm more than a little drawn to hofners at the moment. Fun times and all change for me again
I have one tonight in bridgend, the snow has meant i have to rely on public transport to get there and back. Thankfully I don't need cabs. Wish me luck :s
TBH Eric i think I may have to come visit you. I've been keeping up with your blog. What a collection you have! We share very similar tastes. I shall bring beer indeed
