alyctes Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I've heard so many good things about these, it's a shame I don't get on wth them. I should move my SB301 on; it doesn't get played. (It's one without a Made in Japan label; I gather that these are probably the pre-production from BC setting up the move to Korea.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have read it. Very informative. But not many members posting pics of their basses, That's why I thought I'd start this thread under GEAR PORN so we could all see some nice examples.

pete.young Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I think all mine are in the backwaters thread, can't see the point of posting again. I wouldn't say they're all nice examples either, my 465 in particular is a hard working bass with many scars but it has seen off several much more expensive replacements.

Spoombung Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Here's mine. It's one of the nicest I've seen. There's been a few changes since I bought it: thinner frets (not sure that was a good idea!) and a Bartolini pickup replacing the bridge pickup. It's a lovely, lightweight bass with a great squashy attack to it. The most annoying thing is the position of the jack input which means you can't stand it up against a wall and even some stands don't accommodate it well with a lead inserted.

Shambo Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Here's mine, a Japanese 1991 5 string. Unsure of the model and it's been suggested it has received a new pre-amp because of its push/pull active/passive controls. Lightest bass I've ever owned and maybe the most modern sounding, (or perhaps that was an active Status Shark I used to own). My first 5 string and its been relatively easy to fumble with. Not sure I'm bonding with it though. Not the guitars fault. Its just that I think I miss my simple passive Fender too much.

[/quote] Back to three again - still have the wine coloured 310, now also have silver grey fretless which plays and sounds fantastic and a grey/purple fretted 4 string with crappy old strings which, for some strange reason, give it a lovely tone. Considering the price you can pick these up for, everybody should have at least one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basskleftiko Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Just came across this, Blunderthumbs. Quick note just say have recently acquired nanyo fretless and it is ridiculous how well it plays, looks and sounds for £260! I'm over the moon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I've now get TheGreek's grey/purple fretted (but with new strings ) and it's had new pickups and a loom from KiOgon and it is my favourite bass ever - the first one I pick up and the one I look forward to playing.

Wilco Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Here's my SB321 recently acquired from HappyJack. Was by no means abused, but it did need some fettling to get it up to scratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilco Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Since Pinball's pics above, I have bought that bass off him taking my total to three now. Here's a couple of pics of the 321 & 335 posing together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
