Woodinblack Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 57 minutes ago, Dood said: Not gonna lie, I love this bass sooo much! I remember playing it at the London Bass Show and falling in love with it then and there, but sadly my pockets aren't deep enough for even a tuning peg these days. How's it getting on? Still playing beautifully I am sure! I also fell in love with it at (presumably the same) London Bass Show and I also couldn't dream of affording it, but luckily the following year when had done a lot of gigs and my gigging drawer was actually fairly full I looked on Shukers website and there it was, £1k cheaper than the london show, and although still not cheap, I managed to justify it to myself. It is still a thing of beauty, it plays very well and sounds good. And it still looks impossibly slender with that long front horn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 12 hours ago, AndyTravis said: They did do some basses @Rich Strangely, I don't like it on their basses, or their solid body guitars. But it's absolutely perfect on their jazz guitars, as they have so many other little art deco cues too. If I was rolling in dough, I'd buy one just to hang on the wall.

lemmywinks Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Like Fender but better: Honourable mentions to Bolin and Warwick. Always liked the original Zoot headstock too, nice and dinky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 Obviously some bias from current ownership and past glories. Hamer Mike Lull Gibson Thunderbird Spector (I still maintain you could put an NS headstock on any bass and it would look better) Travis Bean I really feel the headstock of Anderton's East Coast basses looks decent.
