Phil told me you had a Bacchus. Good luck with selling it - if I hadn't spent a clean fortune this year I'd be interested in it myself! Hope London's treating you well. Richard's a decent chap that I know of old guys and he certainly knows his gear. Cheers Ian Coulter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I could interest you in a MM Bongo 5HH as part exchange (you'd be able to manage a 5 string with spacing like this - it's about the only reason I'm looking rid of it.

Only 23 like it. It's a Lakland Syline JO, but it's ltd ed in Sherwood Green with matching headstock. It came with an East J-retro pre as standard, but I've it set up all passive at the minute. I don't like taking it out of the house in case something happens to it so I got a 55-01 in the post on Christmas Eve that i'll use for gigging.

Good to speak to you![/quote] What? The Gallery have Moons?! Ive been searching the earth for one and the Gallery is 10mins from my house! I must go tomorrow, I havent been in years since they fitted a Marcus Retro to my MMV. I dont have a mad desire for the Bongo Im afraid... Ive decided I cant live without the block inlays. Ive just become aware of the Fender Deluxe Jazz FMT, which looks class but is pretty pricey. If you have any blocky recommendations send em this way!

Bigwan Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The Gallery have had Moons in the past, but it's touch and go. Have to say I'd never be out of the Gallery if I was only 10 minutes away (and I would have a serious credit card bill!). Have you thought about a Lakland DJ? They look class in black sparkle with a rosewood board and pearl block markers! Or maybe a Sadowsky UV70? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
