ezbass Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Shoreline Gold is such a cool colour. Given my aesthetic preferences, I shouldnāt like it, but I absolutely love it ever since I saw it on a Roscoe Beck Signature. 1 Quote
Guest Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Beautiful looking bass. Congratulations! I hope it serves you well for many years.Ā Quote
artisan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 Thanks guysĀ Had a good play on it last night & after a bit tweaking it plays absolutely brilliantly. Build quality is top notch too,it is a lovelyĀ Jazz bass. There is a downside though,BD sold it as 9.5/10 condition,but alas the first thing I saw was a couple of fairly deep scratches on the top of the head stock š§ Not a massive game changer but not quite what I expected to see & still waiting to hear back from them.

Ā If thatās the only mark then I think 9.5 is justified. Looks like typical symbol knock 2 Quote

Did you save much by going Direct? My brother fancies one of there StratsĀ Quote
Mokl Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 Really like the look of these.Ā If they did a 5 string Jazz I'd be all over it! 1 Quote
bubinga5 Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 I played one of these at BD when I got my Nordy and I really liked it. More so than the Lull 5 I played.Ā 1 Quote
CameronJ Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 These are lovely things - I would have been VERY tempted by the shoreline gold Jazz if I didnāt already have an Xotic 5er in almost exactly the same colour! They seem to be beautiful things: Ā Ā 1 Quote
CameronJ Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 It really is pretty close! My Xotic on top, ModernVintage on bottom (obviously) 2 Quote
