£60 as I write this, wonder how high it will go?

[Happy Jack]

Lovely.

Bizarre, but lovely.

Must not buy any more 4-string basses...

I saw one of them in the flesh in a department store in Prague when I was a teeny! It was cobalt blue and I fell in love with it. Hhmmmm....

Funnily enough, I was thinking of you when I started the thread!

[BigRedX]

I'm slowly building up a list of basses only available in 4-string versions that when I have sufficient funds I will get a luthier to make a completely accurate 5-string version.

So far I have in my list:
Ovation Magnum 1
Gibson EB3
Rickenbacker 4001

and having seen the bass from this thread - Burns Flyte (although we'll need to improve on the crappy pickups of the original!)

[FlatEric]

Ha! Not seen many of these!!

I used to have one,

What a disappointment. From the title I was expecting a 9-string bass.

Yep. Me too.
Still looks cool though.
