  1. PM'd again really interested in the Eden, get back to me please.
  2. Do you have the Manual for this beast?
  3. [quote name='Stuee' post='1093460' date='Jan 18 2011, 08:39 AM']I was loving this thread until I got to the bit about the bass being located in the U.S. Shame, I love the look of this thing & I get the feeling it's a fine instrument... but there's no way the good people at HM Revenue and Customs would allow the importation of such a thing with taking a hefty bung on top :-/ That would put it beyond my reach, I fear. If you think there's a way around this let me know! In the meantime, have another BUMP![/quote] Check with HM customs, but I think 2nd Hand, duty could be Zero rated, check harmonised Codes on HMCustoms and Excise. Oh am I missing something, no photographs!!
  4. Headless is in the middle, but you knew that.
  5. I bought the Overwater Fretless (on the right) for my 60th birthday on a whim whilst I was working abroad as a surprise to myself when I got home. Because I was crap at fretless (having only used an NT Fretted Warwick Thumb 4) I bought a Spector Euro 5LX (since sold) this helped me very muchly. But I travel, so I also needed a "Travel Bass" (see the trend here) walk in Status Streamline. I decided that instead of the Spector I needed a sister to Black Beauty hence Blondie, I funded most of this purchase with the sale (on Bass chat and I donated) of my Dean Pace 5 and the aformentioned Spector Euro LX 5. I am looking for a Fretless NT Warwick Thumb 4 but after corresponding with PhilW, a Veilette could be on the cards. Fretless and more than likely a 5.........will this never end.
  6. No Thumb NT unlined 4's though..............Damn

  8. [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1034652' date='Nov 24 2010, 01:04 AM']How come it has the screw holes from a pickguard when jazzes are front routed and it doesn't have the holes? [/quote] I just love this geeky stuff, must f**k a lot chancers off
  9. [quote name='noelk27' post='1102060' date='Jan 25 2011, 02:18 PM']It's called abusing the boards. There's a reason for separate "wanted" and "for sale" sub-folders.[/quote] Slapped wrist for me then, when I realised that I put it in wanted..............
  10. [quote name='noelk27' post='1100932' date='Jan 24 2011, 03:36 PM']Wanted section at 8.57am, and here at 8.58am. Overkill?[/quote] Yep, it's called belt and braces
  11. Thanks I posted it in the wanted section.
  12. Wanted: Warwick Thumb, Neck Through, Unlined Fretless, preferably 1990 vintage or thereabout, natural Wenge/Bubinga black hardware. (Dont want much do I?) Might take a fiver but prefer a 4 to match my fretted. What have you got hiding away unused, unloved, needing a good home?

    How far North of the Border?
  14. [quote name='silddx' post='1097214' date='Jan 21 2011, 10:43 AM']This is the best bass I've ever played!! Custom built for me by the best luthier in the world. Plays like butter, amazing fret work. The tone has that lovely lager and lime sound and the lows register on the Richter scale! Balances beautifully, very slim supersonically fast neck. Beautiful burl ives top and you can see jesus's face in the wood pattern! (just near the mid sweep knob). This cost £3,750. Trade for a pre CBS Fender Jazz, preferably two tone burst with maple board. Will also consider Foderas, Mayones, or Fender Bass VI. WHY. Pics won't do this bass justice but I will get Henri to take some later.[/quote] So thats where Burl Ives went
  15. Excuse my ignorance but, if this is a re-issue how can it have an awsome history. Furthermore is'nt Lemmy a Leg End not a Legend?
