  1. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='838464' date='May 15 2010, 09:37 PM']I suppose those lines are "finger-markers". [/quote] Come on, accept you've been out-pedanted (if there is such a term)
  2. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='838456' date='May 15 2010, 09:26 PM']See that black plank glued to the front of the maple neck? It's called a fretboard. :ph34r:[/quote] Like on a violin or double bass? Surely without frets it is called a fingerboard.
  3. Sorry, but for an expensive item such as this, you'd like to think the details were correct - or am I just being picky as I can't afford it [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-NEW-FRETLESS-G-L-L2000-USA-BASS-GUITAR-EBONY-/320522541933?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aa0a1db6d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-NEW-FRETLESS-G-...=item4aa0a1db6d[/url]
  4. [quote name='urb' post='715000' date='Jan 16 2010, 06:09 PM']I think this is what you might be lookng for... - er, don't try this at home or on stage: Epic fail... PS I think it's actually a Sei bass that gets trashed... doh! M[/quote] I love the fact that this clip is now sponsored by an instrument insurance company - bet they wouldn't pay out on this!
  5. Henry Lowther and Jim Mullen - used to do a regular pub gig in Catford together. Two great muso's both with amazing histories, playing a free boozer gig in South London - now that's British Jazz for you!
  6. Some people shouldn't be allowed near a musical instrument! Good luck with the restoration - hope you keep us posted.
  7. Looks like it's going to go up a bit from £62 then!
  8. Couldn't find a postable clip - the youtube ones link elsewhere, but just been learning "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt - lovely fretless from James Hatchinson.
  9. [quote name='wesfinn' post='831732' date='May 8 2010, 08:29 PM']This bass isnt connected with Colin Fitch or Fitch Guitars. It looks worth a punt though if the price stays low! Nice looking neck.[/quote] Fitch - of course - been a while since I was up Suffolk way and the old memory is err, what was I saying? Thanks for the eagle eyed spot Wes!
  10. Anyone know of Finch Basses - I know Colin Finch is/was linked with Zoot/Iceni - do you think they'r connected?

  11. Have been gassing for a traditional bass - really wanted a fretless, but seeing what people have been saying about the CV's on here, thought I should check them out. Had just a small job in Brighton today so when I finished, I drove down to GAK (great having a Transit, parked in the loading bay under the watchful eye of 6 wardens and got away with it), to try them out. Having thought I didn't like P Basses - tried a US one with the most enormous neck once, I wanted to try a P and a Jazz together. The quality was, as everyone has been saying, incredible. Checked a Vintage Mod, a Mexican and an Aerodyne and none of them had the same lovely feel that the CV's had. What's more, the P did it for me, so next week, once my Ebay buyer has collected, I'll be the most happily surprised owner of a Squier P Bass - something that before I'd come on here I never thought I would say!
  12. Seems a fairly honest response.
  13. I asked last night for serial number/country of manufacture - no reply yet......
  14. Just where exactly does that spike at the end of a violin go?
  15. [quote name='MB1' post='828577' date='May 5 2010, 04:01 PM']MB1. ....Cheaper than Waynepunkdudes Tuner?????????????? [/quote] Relatively speaking, yes
  16. [quote name='MIJ-VI' post='827217' date='May 4 2010, 10:58 AM'][url="http://archive.basssessions.com/oct07/Randall.html"]http://archive.basssessions.com/oct07/Randall.html[/url][/quote] See, I'm way behind - only have one 5 string BG and an EUB so I don't even qualify for that link! STill, found some more stuff to sell - now where did I put that granny
  17. Just put this on Ebay with a BIN of £70 (plus £15 carriage - pretty weighty). Anyone on here wants it at the BIN price I'll chuck in 6 decent quality patch leads as well. They sell new for over £150 now. Holes drilled in board to take Dunlop CryBaby. Thanks, Mike [attachment=48880:ebay_may_10_005.JPG][attachment=48881:ebay_may_10_002.JPG][attachment=48882:ebay_m ay_10_004.JPG]
  18. [quote name='Balcro' post='826853' date='May 3 2010, 09:31 PM']Do not despair. What was the fretless that kept you awake at night? Balcro. PS. No, I don't have one for sale.[/quote] Just from the pictures it has that vibe [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85336&hl=tokai"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85336&hl=tokai[/url] Now everyone's going to want it!
  19. Just sold my Korean Aria SB on the bay for (no I can't bring myself to say it), so now can't get anywhere near the fretless I was hankering for on here. Anyone found the GAS wonder cure?
  20. Less than hour to go and it is under offer.....
  21. Ending this evening - shortly before 7.30.
  22. What a cracking post - thanks The Funk. Even had some classic "Bass Faces" going on!
  23. Finishes tomorrow (Monday) just before 7.30.
  24. Welcome to the forum Billy (we worked on Curved Air together for a while)! Mike Howell
  25. Thanks Gamester - hope you don't mind, but really want the other bass that I've seen on here so hope the auction gets me closer to the 200 mark. If it doesn't, then maybe we can look at a trade. Cheers, Mike
