Wilcock Basses

[TheGreek]

Link flashed up when I was viewing another site. A bit Harmann-ish - a certain Dave Swift features in the gallery.

I do like the look of these. Thanks for inducing a GAS attack.

[Maude]

That vintage white Mullarkey is lovely, starts at £1500 though.

My daughter and I had a try out of these at the LBGS. Really rather nice. The pickups on the ones we tried were monstrous.

 

[Reggaebass]

I really like these, They are not far from me, you rarely see one used for sale 

[Reggaebass]

Someone on here has got a really nice white one, I can’t remember who it was 

[4000]

Keep meaning to try these. Rob Mullarkey played with Zero 7, one of my favourite bands.

Is that white bass a short scale ?  Looks awfully stubby for a 34

Yeah it’s a wilcock custom short scale 

[4000]

They do both.

Saw Tim Lefebvre playing a BiSonic at the Vortex last night. Had a chat in the interval with him and Mister Wilcock about his basses, and the 60s-English influence of Harmann, Burns Shergold etc (I'm a fan of the latter and enjoyed the Marathon-esque look of the BiSonic). Lovely basses!

Nice looking basses - No 5's yet though

He played the BiSonic with Wayne Krantz at Ronnie Scott's last month too. Super looking basses, and they do long scale models now as well.

Slight thread derail but how was the gig? JZ Replacement was one of my favourite gigs last year, but I couldn't make this one.

Wish I'd known about the Krantz gig. Who else was in the line-up?

JZ was brilliant, thanks. Mostly material from the new album. I was lucky enough to get a ringside seat, front and centre. Jamie and Tim are a powerhouse.

edit: and to add to that, I've seen Tim Lefeb a couple of times before but only last night was I up close enough to appreciate his control of a Electro-Harmonix Frequency Analyzer with toe power alone

It was his classic trio with Tim and Keith Carlock on drums. Excellent show.

I bet, I'll keep my eyes peeled next time.

Few sounds.

Just reviewed this stunningly presented 4P-51 over on my YouTube channel.

The Wilcock basses look absolutely stunning. How do they compare to Sereks? Does anyone have a Mullarkey for sale, by any chance? 

 

[Dazed]

I think I saw a red Mullarkey on eBay recently. 

[Dazed]

Yep it’s still there

Thanks, Dazed, but that is not the Mullarkey. I think that’s simply called the MM cause of the pickup.
