Beedster Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Ah man, that is SUCH a great bass. I sold it, get this, because at the time I had two maple fretless 70's Precisions (I kept the one that had been modified with a J-PUP). It had the more resonant of the two bodies (both had been stripped), but I felt I need the extra PUP. The neck on this is amazing, Martin - Simms not Peterson by the way David - did an incredible job, truly incredible. It had been played with rounds, and as happened with these boards, the wood was starting to show and discolour. Martin not only reversed all the wear, but managed to blend it all with the original finish thereby keeping the vintage looks albeit with a factory-fresh feel. I would genuinely love this bass back, it really is a player. The body refin looks incredibly well done also.
police squad Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 shame it's not natural (like Sting's) because it would be mine (it was the wrong red, Sting's wasn't see through). GLWTS

GLWTS [/quote] Bugger me! You learn something new everyday. I never realised it was a solid red. I always thought it was see through for some reason.
cd_david Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 No longer a feeler. This is now for sale, Thanks
cd_david Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Bump for MM Trades, 5 string Rays, or possibly Spector MM5 plus cash either way for the right bass Thanks
Shaggy Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I recognise this bass...... Really fab body refin speculative PM sent
Beedster Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 [quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1476547568' post='3155137'] speculative PM sent [/quote] Go on Greg, you remember just how good this bass is, and I already have it twin so can't buy it

Unfortunately I've just acquired yet another mandolin (an F5 this time), hence the "speculative" Anyway, I wouldn't see having its twin as an obstacle - you could make the worlds first double-necked bass with a 4-string maple fretless neck and......um......a fretless maple 4-string neck. Rounds on one and flats on the other?
cd_david Posted October 16, 2016 Author Posted October 16, 2016 Yes, Stingray 5s, Musicman Sabre? Possible Spector 5s
BassMattBlack Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Ah no worries, I have fender FSR 1975 jazz bass, the reissue Ines that were made in the 90s
cd_david Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks but I'm not after one, always available as a cash sale
cd_david Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 Last call for any potentiality interested parties as I'm taking it to The Gallery tomorrow. Thanks
Bassman Sam Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 I wish I had the dosh of this. I'd be playing Boz Burrell bass lines all day with this. You always sell what I love Dave.
ras52 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 That is gorgeous. And I presume the case is moulded rather than "mouldering"!? (I suspect the hand of Mr Autocorrect...)
