Never had a chance to play one. Are they any good?

Rickenbacker Basses / Nice S
« on: January 26, 2010, 05:21:41 AM »
There's a '91 4003S MG/BT that looks really nice on GBase, from Southside Guitars - asking $1,800 which isn't cheap but isn't outrageous either for a neck-thru S model.

No affiliation, just a heads-up.

The Bass Zone / Would you buy a bass just because it looks killer?
« on: November 11, 2009, 07:27:21 AM »
I just did.

Bought this Soviet-era Bulgarian piece of crap only because I absolutely LOVE the art deco paint job.

What is wrong with me?

Other Bass Brands / Soviet basses

Someone in the Ukraine is selling 9 (at the moment) cheap 70's Russian and Czech basses. No affiliation. If you're into these things...

Note the Fireglo basses  with vintage S specs and correct (non-reverse) headstock.  V63? 1999RM reissue? And the white 4001C64 with what looks like an ebony fretboard.

Other Bass Brands / Tummy cut on the WRONG SIDE...

But why?

Guitars Etc. / Pulled the trigger on a '79 Strat...
« on: June 03, 2009, 10:17:41 PM »
This one... I like the wear and the white primer showing through the red.

And the price was right too, I think... $1,256. With $160 shipping to Israel and 15.5% V.A.T I should end up paying about $1,600. Around here these things sell for twice that price. So if I don't like it I can always sell locally and make a nice profit.

The seller says he will include the original bridge pickup. I'll probably receive it in two or three weeks.

My 11 years old son has started taking double bass lessons, I thought I'd post some pics...

Alon at 6 months old (top left), 2 years old (top right), 9 years old (center) and 11 years old (bottom).




Can he say "horseshoe" and "toaster" already?  ;)

Fender Basses / My 3rd Musicmaster bass
« on: May 18, 2009, 10:52:39 AM »
Parts bass that I put together recently just for fun. A beat-to-hell '78 body with heavily flaking finish that I decided not to strip or refinish, a '77 neck with tuners that I took off of a '72 Mustang bass neck, and a gray bottom Mustang guitar pickup (Musicmaster basses had 6-pole guitar pickups). I went with a white pickup cover although I know it originally had a black cover, I think it looks better this way. The mint guard, Strat knobs and wiring harness are new. And she sounds wonderful and plays very nicely.

Gibson Basses / EB650

What are your thoughts on this? The same seller also has two rare (and painfully expensive) Rics on eBay.

About the mystery seller - from the eBay page: MARGATE, LTD. has been retained by the owner of the World’s Largest Collection of Electric Guitars (and other instruments) to manage the reduction of his vast collection of musical instruments which now numbers over 1700 separate items. <snip> This is not a complete liquidation of this collection but what our client calls “a random walk through sale”.  That simply means that he has walked through his vast collection with our principals and simply pointed out instruments that he wants to sell  now.
<snip>
The owner of this very large and unique collection will remain anonymous.  In the ads, you will see us refer to him as “Mr. G.”-the G is for GUITAR.  Mr.G. has been collecting musical instruments, primarily electric guitars, throughout his life.  As his story is told, his first musical instrument was a SEARS (Danelecto) “dolphin” bass which was purchased when he was fifteen later to be sold three years later upon his graduation from high school and attendance at a major university.  The money was used to buy books.  He swore to himself that one day he would buy another bass guitar just like his first one.  Yes, he now owns 21 of them.  But once he started, he didn’t stop and thanks to a very successful business career he has been able to pursue this hobby without hesitancy.
