    Congrats, my first gig on a fretless a few years ago was scary enough.

    Phew, not just me on the font size then.

    In the midst of all the opprobium and 'too cool for skool' stuff above, I thought the winner was refreshingly different and sung with feeling and passion.

    Tried but didn't understand many of the questions.

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1494136182' post='3293465'] My first bass (I still own it) was a Yamaha RBX270F: Light weight, sounds great. Much better than the Squier VMJ I owned briefly too. I've seen them sell for peanuts on the used market too! [/quote] My first fretless bass was this, great value and pretty decent as I recall. I had it for around 3 years.

    ...and weight please?
  12. ead
    What's the string spacing at the bridge and the weight please?

    There's the pickup Warwick put on some basses (Dirty Blonde I think) which is like two single coil p/ups stuck together, is that the one? Not sure what they sound like though.

    Brilliant, thanks very much. Strings ordered

    Anybody ordered any stuff with their points yet? I can't see how to redeem the points for strings etc as links go to what looks like a normal store asking for voucher codes etc.

    I have the newer California II slightly smaller and lighter TT (Jazz pass) passive. I have ordered a VS in a custom colour do soon. Really well put together and a brilliant neck in terms of feel (for me at any rate).

    Hi Gary A couple of questions for you please. WHat is the string spacing at the bridge, and is the ramp fixed to the bass in any way by which I mean as someone who wouldn't use it had it affected the finish or caused any more holes to be drilled! Thanks

    [quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1493844496' post='3291282'] If you were born in 1962, then the YOB bass is a '62. '63 makes no sense for me even if you were born so close to the end of the year. [/quote] This. My YOB (1960) makes it too expensive so I have had to settle for a '66 P bass and now lie about my age

    More like Camel then?

    What function do the two switches near the bridge perform?

    Mine was a black Squier Affinity P. I recall it being fine as a starter bass and played a few gigs with it. In the end I gave it to a friend's son to encourage him.

    Acquired a strap from Nick. As has been mentioned many times a top guy to deal with, mega quick despatch plenty of PMs. Another BC Top Banana.

    I believe the 'Gneco' logos are the early one and more sought after than the later 'Greco' ones. Good basses though, my EB-350 certainly was. Obigatory pics... [attachment=244295:Greco EB-350 02.jpg] [attachment=244296:Greco EB-350 03.jpg] [attachment=244297:Greco EB-350 01.jpg]

    Here's one on Evilbay in Lytham St Annes: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spector-Rebop-5-string-deluxe-bass-/192163054177?hash=item2cbdcf8261:g:5fYAAOSwtZJY937t"]http://www.ebay.co.u...fYAAOSwtZJY937t[/url] Maybe worth a try and haggling.

    Good point. I had a "Gneco" EB3 clone which was an excellent bass. I believe they are well regarded.
