S.D. Curlee project how much $

drbassman · April 05, 2009, 06:19:54 PM

Well, I gotta say, $150 isn't bad for the bass and case. But man, it is kinda....well...weird looking!?! Maybe it would grow on me if I saw it in person in a different color. That yellow really sucks!

Scott, if you buy it, you'll just have to repaint it in a Sumo theme.

That would work great for vintage sound, especially with the loincloth serving as a mute.

So Scott, did you go for it?

godofthunder · April 07, 2009, 06:08:33 AM

Bill, I passed on it it was a great deal but I really want SD Curlee with the double cutaway body, I don't think I could ever grow to love that Sumo body !

Only Uwe could have looked good with it. I just can't see you rocking on a Sumo!

I always remember their "butcher block" basses way bacxk when.

The sumo wrestler in the picture is actually American! It's Musashimaru who was from Hawai'i and attained the highest rank of yokozuna.

godofthunder · April 08, 2009, 03:38:33 PM

That is the bass I want !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to watch it but the added cost of shipping from the UK may make it less of a deal..............................well you know us Scotts.

Och aye... but look at the small print, Scott...

Yep, it's Manchester... but not Cheshire, England... it's New Hampshire USofA...!

That could even be called "reasonable driving distance" from you, right...?

godofthunder · April 08, 2009, 04:04:56 PM

LOL What a dumbass I am ! It is in NH USA ! I will watch that keenly ! Thanks for pointing it out !

Dum Bass...?

Glad to have been of assistance, dear boy...

SKATE RAT · April 08, 2009, 06:50:54 PM

i had one of those double cutaway single split P version . great little bass 32" scale. i shoulda never sold it.

Highlander · April 09, 2009, 05:32:55 PM

Which came first, these or Hamers, or do we go for an earlier Gibson body shape...?

godofthunder · April 14, 2009, 02:56:07 PM

Ken I bid on it but lost while chatting with my wife in the last seconds about upping my bid. Went for 5 bucks over my last bid, man I hate that.
