bythesea Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 I guessed you'd be all over this one BB Quote
BarnacleBob Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I know, i know. Its a later model than the one I have, i think this may be an Artisan(?) same basic shape but 'plainer', still, would make a nice twin. Only thing is I have already bought 2 basses this week - a cracking Levinson B4 and a Zoot S4 and this is me trying to cut down!!!! AND i want doctorbass' sparkly G&L ASAT........that is a total bargain! BB Quote
bythesea Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 That Levinson seems to sell well - must have a listen to one sometime, and judging by your other posts I guess that was the ebay Zoot that came back up? I was watching that both times round - nice bass. And as you say the G&L looks good.. But it would look good with the other one... I'd better stop now before I get you into more trouble Quote
BarnacleBob Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 SH*T!!! Alarm bells now ringing - came acrsos the Zoot with literally 30 seconds to go and just jumped in. Just now checked the eBay thread on BC and this allegedly sold on the 8 july for £351. been in touch with guy this afternoon via ebay and paid by paypal as he had 0 feedback but not happy til I see it.

The guy I bought mine from mentioned this type - he had one before he got his Artisan ('91) - it's a one-piece mahogany neck/body which is less stronger than the laminated ones - he had to return that bass because the neck went warp....This one looks great though - if it wasn't for the Jaydee I'd be all over this one!
