    SOLD For Sale: 1975 Gibson Ripper (lots of pics!)

    Wow - lovely to see one in such condition and all the case candy - I've not seen some of this stuff previously and, despite owning a Ripper for more than 30 years (modded out of all recognition in the early '80s), I wasn't quite sure what all the controls were about: it's great to read the...

    SOLD Status Streamline 5 Fretless For Sale

    As a Streamline user (fretted 4), I can attest to the quality of these basses - fabulous tone and sustain and incredible playability. This is definitely a pro-level bass in a very compact package. The weight is also a very welcome feature. A lovely bass at a good price

    Club Alleva-Coppolo (Part 13)

    I think I know the photograph you're speaking of (Jimmy on a stool in the workshop?) - if so, I'm pretty sure the bass at lowend isn't the same one. I have the bass that is photographed with Jimmy and it came from the original commissioning purchaser

    SOLD FS: Nordy vP4 '50s style P - 2 months old, coral pink and $1420

    I've investigated shipping costs to the CONUS - it appears that a 3-5 day service would be around $110 - this is without insurance. Insurance would add something like $70 (again, I may be able to get a better deal on insurance if this is required). As I'm offering free carriage in the UK, I...

    SOLD FS: Nordy vP4 '50s style P - 2 months old, coral pink and $1420

    A quick update on neck dimensions - the bass was ordered with a 'Big' neck - depth is 0.875" at the first fret and 1" at the 12th fret. Nut is standard precision width (I think - I can check). I have the paperwork and tools that were supplied with the bass.

    Now with images and a price reduction (following research with respect to exchange rates). Weight is 8.4lbs - very light and comfortable on a strap - perfect balance, with lovely contouring (a first class job). I love this bass and have investigated options for changing the neck to a very...

    SOLD FS: Nordy vP4 '50s style P - 2 months old, coral pink and $1420

    Now sold - thanks for the comments, enquiries and PMs Hi all, For sale, a stunning, pink Nordy vP4 - I picked this up just 5 weeks ago (it was 'born' on 28th April this year). The build quality is fantastic - everything you'd expect from a really high-end, boutique builder. Finishing is...

    Anybody here used to the new SX headstock, or does it still cause a gag reflex?

    I suspect that the AC headstock is the way it is for a reason (not just brand differentiation) - I'm pretty convinced that the extra mass assists in the elimination of dead/dull spots. I'm not the biggest fan of the shape either but certainly wouldn't cut into it. To be honest, the headstock...

    SOLD FS Celinder Update "Marcus Tribute" 4 string jazz!

    +1 - absolutely stellar luthier - operates in that rarified top of the top-end space with just a few similarly obsessive contemporaries. I can't imagine this bass is anything less than superb in every way
