ead Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Thanks, it's a real wrench to sell it Edited February 20, 2013 by ead
W11ATO Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I've got the zebrano top version and love it, maybe even more than my "real" overwater...
ead Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 I saw the bass in your sig. and wondered which one you had. When I bought this one there was also the choice of a Zebrano topped bass, but the Wenge just won me over.
W11ATO Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I'm not surprised it did, it's very handsome
bagsieblue Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I played this very bass last week while drooling over EAD's fretless ACG - this ss a great bass and a great price. Great guy to deal with as well. For anyone thinking about this you could do a lot worse for the money.......
ead Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
bagsieblue Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Bargain - what a price! If I wasn't going to London this weekend I would be darkening your door with my presence to play this again giving it some serious thought of getting into trouble with Mrs Bagsieblue (again) Have a bump - somebody should snap this up.
ead Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Roll up, roll up boys and girls. Grab a bargain.
