    [quote name='Jack' timestamp='1496409287' post='3311204'] Looks a little like a Modern Player but it's not quite right. [/quote] I think it is a Modern Player.

    Oh my.

    Why do people post and then delete all traces of it? It's pretty annoying for people arriving at the thread late.
  4. therealting
    Still available (:

    If you're in SE London, you're welcome to come try mine out.

    [quote name='monkey_dancer' timestamp='1495471948' post='3303984'] Is the revelation stuff really decent? Might be an option if it's good for the money. I've seen some of their guitars before and always been a bit suspicious because of the very low prices.[/quote] If it helps, I have two pre-CBS Precisions, two Canadian Dingwalls (a Super P5 and a Super J5), a Sadowsky, a Conklin, and a couple CIJ Fenders. My Revelation fretless P weighs 8.5lb, plays nicely with a low action and sounds very decent.

    I have an unlined Revelation P that's actually very good. Entwhistle pickup and plays and sounds great.

    The CIJs are superb. I have an FSR Classic 60s Lacquer in the classifieds here which is lightweight, resonant, and immaculately built. Have also owned several excellent Japanese Fender Strats.

    [quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1494927951' post='3299587'] If it gets desperate, I've found chrome looks very well aged with a gentle rub of a dry brillo cloth. I've done that with replacement hardware on my old vintage basses in days gone by. [/quote] Is that just to scratch it up, or to remove the chrome plating?
  10. therealting
    ... and where are you located?

    [quote name='Risk101' timestamp='1495121710' post='3301467'] I thought the original Series 1 (i.e. like this one) were 34" scale with 19mm string spacing, and then amended to 35" / 18mm on the Series 2, but as you say a ruler will decide it one way or the other! Very very nice bass and in amazing condition for its age - GLWTS [/quote] 33 7/8" IIRC

    I need to step away right now and not ask you about scale length and spacing...

    [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1495022002' post='3300499'] I'm sure this is how my wife does her roast potatoes. [/quote] Roasted maple neck with roasted potato tubers

    Was the refin also done by Bill Nash? Nitro also I assume?

    [quote name='markdavid' timestamp='1494955097' post='3299953'] thank you for the offer, i ended up buying a Violin bass copy by Vintage as i loved the feel and tone but thank you anyway,really got the itch to get more violin basses now lol [/quote] Indeed - I love mine and am now constantly looking out for vintage examples...
  16. therealting
    How do you tell if it's chrome or nickel?
  17. therealting
    So I'm lucky enough to have a couple pre-CBS Precisions, and I'd quite like to have Hipshot Xtenders put on them if at all possible. Does anyone know of anyone who is able to age these D-tuners sympathetically so they still work well but don't look completely out of place?

    [quote name='Ash121987' timestamp='1494774845' post='3298436'] However the link shouldn't require you to download the app to see the photos - as far as I'm aware this is just for extra storage and no ads (I don't have the app myself). You should be able to close the pop-up, if not I can message you the rest of the set if you would like to see them all. [/quote] That's just Photobucket being a colossal pain. I tend to leave ads that only have a Photobucket link because they mess my phone up something chronic. You've embedded photos now though, so well done (:

    I have a Revelation P which scratches my fretless itch just fine for now. My last two fretlesses were an MTD fiver and a Curbow-style Tanglewood. It might seem a little out of place in my collection next to the Dingwalls and Sadowsky etc, but actually for my needs it's more than enough bass for me. Lightweight too.

    [quote name='Yank' timestamp='1493716276' post='3290041'] or a woman. [/quote] So true. I hate the chase in this area.
  21. therealting
    My Mk I TRB6 was my first bass, a real beast!
  22. therealting
    Where in London are you based? I have one you can try if it's convenient.
  23. therealting
    Man how did I miss this ):
