I'd say it was Basschat famous before the truss rod failed for being one of the prettiest instruments we've ever seen on here.

It did go a bit global on a Facebook group or three for a while...

Probably these:

Although having said that the fretless 4-string is currently for sale so may not be mine for much longer.

Where is it for sale?

Is it famous for how it looks or because of the truss rod failure tho?

Fixed (like @Bridgehouse’s bass.)

 

Like all good stories, it has a beginning (look at this innovative, unconventional, beautiful bass), a middle (CRACK!), and an end (not just fixed but improved!).

90% plus of the gigs and recording I've done since being on BC have been my sunburst (Love the way the bass plays. Still hate sunburst) Precision with a black scratchplate. No point putting it in this thread. It'd be like turning up at a concours de'elegance with a white Transit.

Go on, bung it on, it would be a breath of fresh air in amongst all this baroque nonsense 😀

[Bridgehouse]

Well, for completeness then...

Baroque nonsense? BAROQUE NONSENSE??? You're only 10 miles down the road from me, I'm on my way down now with a single white glove... prepare for a glove slap to the face and a challenge to a duel sir!

The left one yes. The right one has never registered with me. The left was the original yeah?

 

Yup, original on the left, and the one on the right for when I join Steel Panther...

Your basses do appear to have glory holes...

And I have seen them at the old folks home

As long as I can select kippers as the duelling weapons.

[binky_bass]

Kippers are my weapon of choice...

I love the smell of kippers in the morning, it smells like... victory.

the last kippers I had were smoked in Grimsby.

[Happy Jack]

Grimsby ... napalm ... hard to tell, really.

Probably a very good reason for that.

[Stub Mandrel]

Well, I say this is the most lovely bass on Basschat, anyone who disagrees is sadly deluded. 🙂

[NancyJohnson]

I'd certainly say Gary's Spectorbird is a beautiful thing, but if there's one that I just adore it's this.  The LEDs are insane and I don't even like Fenderesque basses.

[Dood]

I've even found the original post:

 

(Though it has become a little fragmented)

Please also, if I may derail this thread temporarily, take a moment to remember "OldGit" Si Cox in the first picture. One of our very missed members of BassChat. RIP dude!

And well, I may as well continue my reign of terror in this thread by posting Shuker 7 string's little sister too:

Discreet's (originally) Limelight Jazz. '62? The really aged oly white/spitfire tort one. Can't find a piccy sorry as they've gone I think.

A work of art that one and the first bass that came to mind. 

Maybe a BCer still owns it? 

Ah yes, I had it but sold it a few years ago -  I’ll try to find a pic (that really fits the bill)
