I apologize in advance for introducing you to this site if you don't know it already. A better collection and a more varied collection of basses I've yet to see !

The Japanese seem to love basses with wammy bars - even 8 strings (dual course) !

Enjoy !

Just finished working my way through all 106 pages.

And now I know where are the trem-equipped Tune Basses are!

Normally J-style basses don't really do it for me, but I could be persuaded to find a home for the following:



Atelier Z Beta-5 28FL



Crews Maniac Sound Be Bottom' Jackson 5



and Crews Maniac Sound Jackson 5 Hollow/JH (TigerEye)

And this:



The first time I saw a PRS bass I was distinctly underwhelmed, but this is definitely sex in a bass form...

This really is a good site for new models on the scene - I especially love Fender Japan basses. The models they bring out with subtle tweaks to well known vintage instruments always keeps them a step or two ahead of Fender USA in my opinion.

I noticed when I went to see Rush at the NEC last October that his main bass - the 73 Jazz - now has a Fender Japan neck and not a Fender Custom Shop neck. That knocked me out that did !

I am also interested by what Bacchus, Crews and Atelier have to offer as well, and yes, the thought of a 5-string Jazz style bass with 28 frets is quite appealing !

Who spotted the Aria bass with the whammy bar - never seen one of those before........

Cheers (with square eyes now)

:) Bill Bailey's in the episode of Spaced I'm watching! Some nice Dano DC basses on there, pretty colours too!

I only got as far as the bottom of the first page before i saw something GAS-worthy for me...



It's a GrassRoots Gazette ;) I did a quick Google search and couldn't find a thing. :)

Any chance of a way of converting these prices into pounds? It may fend off some GAS, but then again it could just make it worse!


Another GrassRoots... Who'dathunk Pink could look so cool?

I'm guessing the switches aren't for each pickup, because there are four... any ideas? ;)

I am officially a GrassRoots GAS-er.... :wub: :huh:

There's plenty of on-line currency converters, but as a rough guide ¥200 = £1, so knock off the last two numbers and divide by 2.

Also you should pay the lower of the two prices which is the one without tax. Just remember that there's shipping (around £75) and then customs and VAT on top of that (22-25% on top of the Japanese less tax price plus the shipping charge).

Edit for example: Your black Grassroots bass is ¥46,500. That's roughly £232.50. Plus £75 shipping = £307.50. Customs, VAT and clearance fee approximately £75, gives you a total of £382.50
