Malvis Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thanks for a lovely day folks, the bash really couldn't have been more enjoyable. I'm not sure about the mystical powers Roger, I just happened upon a great venue. The great atmosphere was all thanks to the excellent company - and of course all the gorgeous basses, amps and other gadgetry, especially Roger's Kolstein . The GAS is strong with that one... Thanks as well to Nick and Roger for showing me the potential of the laminate bass I have on loan. Having thought it would be traveling home to Kent, I made its owner the offer you suggested Roger. And so we have a deal, and I have a new bass! Fantastic photo Silvia - thanks for all your hard work as basschat archivist! Looking forward to seeing more... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 That bass is quite something. For a laminate it’s got a great voice and Nick A said he’d never come across a lam that bows so well. A little bit of work, initially fingerboard reshoot and a decent endpin, and later new bridge and strings will turn this duckling into a swan. Truly a great bass in prospect.

NickA Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Yes INDEED, thank you folks for a great day out. Such a lovely day we could have held it outside! But the Baronial Barn and roaring log tree fire were fun and the barn had a great acoustic too. Enjoyed playing other people's basses, finding out what these much praised Silver Slaps and Spirocore Weichs actually play like .. and a go on Owen's Steinburg EUB too (lovely thing, well made and nice to play, even if not a real DB). And yes, a very nice sounding laminate bass .. my prejudices challenged yet again. Good to hear other people playing my old bass too - as someone said, "doesn't really need an amplifier". .. and no, the old SAAB did not make it home; alternator failure at M1 Jct 16, recovery to Derby on a truck. Sadly now waiting for the scrap man to come; but at least I was with her when she died. :¬( :¬( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Oh no Nick you can't let her go just like that, it's modern by my standards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 My NS was distorting on the bottom. It seems that I should change batteries more than once every 5 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 ... and you don't want a distorted bottom. :¬) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
