Onox Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Wow, how cool is that? If I had the Money... Quote
oggiesnr Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 At least it's properly aged and not by some wassock in a "custom" shop. Steve Quote
Fuzzbass2000 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 One of the few basses I like with a white (aged) scratch plate on. Is that neck pick up really low, and what are those screws heads behind the bridge pick up? Quote
daz Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 If i were a lottery winner then maybe I'd buy it. but only if Norman fitted the baddass bridge back and taught me how to play Rhythm Stick properly with a pick Quote
Happy Jack Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 This is one of those moments when I'm genuinely relieved that I don't get on with Jazz basses ... Quote
Fat Rich Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 [quote name='Fuzzbass2000' timestamp='1350432416' post='1838948'] One of the few basses I like with a white (aged) scratch plate on. Is that neck pick up really low, and what are those screws heads behind the bridge pick up? [/quote] Very early Jazz basses had string mutes between the bridge and the bridge pickup. The price has come down quite a lot and it is a custom colour, the problem is it's not all original so won't appeal to many collectors. I think Norman is one of the greats and I love his playing, but he's probably not that well known outside bass playing / Blockhead circles so I'm not sure that makes this bass particularly valuable in the long term.

Geek99 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 ive seen this listed a few times, I assume its him listing it each time after failure to shift, rather than it being resold Quote
TheGreek Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe BC should buy it and start a museum for historic basses...I'm happy for it to be located in my flat..veiwing by appointment only.. Quote

Urban Bassman Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I was just going to say that it's with Andy He's had it for some time, it's a commission sale I believe. Quote
