Brams77 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I actually have the original spare mute pads from the early 80s I bought it from a talkbass member a while ago for 6 dollar... They have already got adhesive undersides which helps:).. Anyway I can you this club with two basses actually I have a '78 refinnished in trans butterscotch amazing player and light 4,3 kg And I have a original black one comming my way that i'll have in tomorrow... That one has a replaced eb preamp and I'm not 100% the pickup is original or not... Never the less I always wanted a black one all the finish is original and it still has the original frets aswell.. And it's even lighter then the butterscotch one.. Cant wait If it is as good as the one I already got then it will be very hard to get the grin off my face everything I plug it in the comming weeks;) Quote

bakerster135 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1398729231' post='2437105'] Just back from using it at a rehearsal. Best basses in the world! [/quote] Been using mine at rehearsals for the last fortnight, definitely the best basses in the world! It just sounds SO good, and somehow bassier than my Jazz and Sandberg which I wasn't expecting! It's near to 5kg however...Need to start the back exercises or it's gonna do me in! Quote
matski Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1398687523' post='2436517'] Best bass in the world. I got one too, same colour, year(s) etc. [/quote] Snap! Me too Quote
4 Strings Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 [quote name='matski' timestamp='1399547659' post='2445160'] Snap! Me too [/quote] Silly, same as mine bit it doesn't stop me being jealous of you! If I had piles of cash I'd find it difficult not to buy each one I came across. Quote
