Skybone Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) The Everson Caiman is a thing of beauty... Still looking at amps, but also really, really fancy a long scale Warwick Star Bass... And an Everson.... And an ACG Krell.... And..... Edited May 27, 2015 by Skybone Quote
theyellowcar Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432713668' post='2784090'] Hey, I've got one of those! One day I'll post some pics! [/quote] And what a fine bass it is! Not that I've ever seen a picture... Obviously Quote
Roland Rock Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1432659928' post='2783706'] A 70's era/70's style Precision. Vintage white, black guard and maple board. The Matt Freeman Squier is probably the best bet, but I don't have room for another bass! [/quote] Keep an eye on the marketplace in about a fortnight Quote
Graham Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 [quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1432650443' post='2783576'] I want a twin soapbar 5 string with a maple fretboard and no position markers. [/quote] Ditto, though I'd be happy with dot markers Quote
AntLockyer Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I could live with dots. The only thing I can find that fits the bill is an MTD. Quote

LukeFRC Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432766605' post='2784888'] A Shergold Marathon!! [/quote] there was one of them for sale up here dirt cheap a month ago. swithered on grabbing it and didn't in the end as I didn't want one! Quote
M@23 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Yamaha BB2024, still. Only now, it's getting to that point where I'm thinking about what I'd have to sell and spending every spare moment googling them. It's getting serious... Quote
markorbit Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Current GAS for a Mesa M9 and Status Streamline 5. Yeah, it's like I never started over 30 years ago. Quote

I think in hindsight a thread detailing basses I don't have GAS for would probably be easier. Quote
