wateroftyne Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hi all I've been experimenting with Lightbox, and took the opportunity to try it out on my bass gallery page. Feel free to drop by and have a look (and listen!) I'll put the kettle on, but you'll have to bring your own biscuits. I'm not allowed them.

hubrad Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 First quick scan.. mmmhmmm! I particularly like the Franklin fingerboard shots, but then I would, wouldn't I? I'll be back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Wow...awesome collection. You have excellent taste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I could swear most of those pictures are the same. Ever thought about NOT buying a Fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Nice collection WoT. I got through a whole pack of Hobnobs! One thing that would make the page better, for me at least, would be a full length shot of each bass featured. But that's just me...

ZMech Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Nice lil' site you have there. That's the first time I've heard a direct comparison of a rosewood and maple neck, so I now know what the hell it is that people are talking about! Needs sound clips of the last few basses, especially that walnut one. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 If by Lightbox you mean the javascript image gallery...it's not working for me in Chrome. Nice pictures though. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Michael, you probably don't want the Tony Franklin back but you couldn't have it anyway because I'm rather in love with it at the moment. The rest all look extremely nice. Well done.

wateroftyne Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well, I'm not GASsing for the Franklin back yet... not enough time has passed. Glad you like it, though.. I knew you would! I'm pining for my '73 Jazz something rotten. Sibob won't budge, though. Not that I would expect him to..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassistJonathan Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hey thats cheating putting on basses that have moved on! Until I say that comment halfway down the page I was just gonna say how much I dream of owning such a glorious aray of basses. Top three are probably the nicest anyways though....but I do like the walnut one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Really nice site. I didn't get to try a 60s jazz kiwi had briefly so a bit ignorant when it comes to vintage fenders. I hope I can try some of these soon... Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
