ezbass Posted September 15, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Beautiful looking bass. Congratulations! I hope it serves you well for many years.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted September 18, 2021 Share 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!
