TheGreek Posted April 8, 2018 Author Posted April 8, 2018 Here's the build thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/283510-thegreeks-mystery-bass-rebuild/ The pick ups are SimS system - absolutely brilliant piece of kit - recommend them to anybody. There are a set for sale in the Market Place - Ideally I'd need something to put them in before I buy them. Quote

TheGreek Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 I agree about the impressive quality of Andy's work... To prove it I really should get round to mastering how to put sound clips on here... Quote
LukeFRC Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 you bought the overwater back after all that time you spent selling it?! Quote
TheGreek Posted April 10, 2018 Author Posted April 10, 2018 I can't help it if the BC membership don't recognise a great Bass when they see it - maybe the green put them off. I bought it back because I've yet to play another Jazz that's anywhere near as good... Quote

TheGreek Posted August 2, 2018 Author Posted August 2, 2018 Somebody was asking about the Cherry headless bass I have. Built by Mark Wood in Nottingham from Cherry, it's chambered with Seymour Duncan pups and Fender Marcus Miller preamp. Sounds very double bass-like. The only down side is that the headless unit is quite heavy so the bass is body heavy and hangs at about 2 o'clock..fine if you're using a pick or fingers but not if you want to slap. The grain and wood tones are beautiful as you can see. 1 Quote

Shaggy Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 You have some fabulous and very individual basses Mick - I particularly like the Silk neck-thru with the Simms p/ups 1 Quote

I’m exactly the same, I’ve even taken pictures ready to sell them , then I remember why I bought them in the first place , and keep them 😀 1 Quote
TheGreek Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) What's the expression - "you don't regret what you buy...you regret what you sell..." Got a lot of those...my first Status Kingbass, my Veillette Citron fretless, my GB Rumour.... Edited April 13, 2019 by TheGreek 1 Quote
