The CS-74 plays awesome. One of my favorite basses. Very rare find indeed. Very punchy - Low action. The Joe Barden Pickups are awesome. Very early models. 1984. Thanks and take care - DM

 

[CTC564]

Thanks for the reply...cut my teeth on a 1980 Rick 4001 and became a bass player largely due to my worship of Chris Squire

That's a very rare find

All the best

I don't know. I'd have to look around the house and count them. That's pretty sad. My amp count is the same.

 

[meatwad]

All are four-strings -

1.) Ernie Ball StingRay
2.) Tobias Standard fretless
3.) Fender American Standard Precision

I was hoping for sunshine this afternoon for family pictures.. Oh well, maybe later.

Nice group, but there's something about the Schecter looking all naked and exposed that grabs my eye...maybe the little knobs
They say more than a handful is a waste........

In all seriousness, that Schecter'd probably be the one I'd grab if the apartment was on fire. Remember, back in the 1980s these were a "boutique" brand, closer to a Mike Lull or a Sadowsky than the current offshore Schecters. It is a killer bass.

You know what they say: Tiny Knobs = Huge Tone
