Yeah, I wish they still made them like this, but this was like the last model with JJs with the angle, also the last model that had 2 volumes instead of the master/blend setup. That bass has been my main bass since I got it new in 93.

Thats what I was thinking.. is it like a "push button" Drop D? Press it in, and it drops?
Hmm..
Warwick Dolphin Pro I. Boire body, 7-stripe wenge/zebrano neck. Active MEC. Built '91, bought it new in '95. Road worn by me. Glass clear sound. Unbelievable variations. Best bass for tapping I ever played, sound and play wise, although I'm really not a specialist in it. Only reason to give it away would be to exchange it for a 5 string with same specs. PM me if you're unhappy with your fiver
. The lack of a B string is the only reason I don't play it as often as the other basses.

Marleaux Consat Custom 5. Mahogany body, myrtle top, Active Bartolinis. Bought new in '97. Strongest B string of all my basses. Warm and deep sound with crisp highs. Badass dirty when hit a bit harder which I love. Replaced the Dolphin as main bass for having a B stringBoth Marleauxs can be played very fast. They have an extremely low action

Marleaux Consat Custom 5. All maple, active Delanos. Bought new in 2005. Badass mid dominant, for all those jazzy bridge pickup sounds. They called it "The Killer" in the shop and you know why when you hear it for the first time. Great sound for soloes. Funny thing, it looks better from the rear

Sadowsky NYC Vintage 5. Swamp Ash, singles. Not the strongest b string it really matters what strings you put on. Best with Cleartone which are a bit sharp, followed by Sadowsky Blue Lable Nickels. Has that Jazz Bass sound which I can't get from the other basses. Awesome metallic slap sound. The only bass that I can play in my quite large reggae band 'cause it perfectly mixes itself, stays out of the way of the other instruments and shakes the earth with deeeeeep lows but well I guess you know
My main bass on stage and for studio works at the moment although I love and play all of them.

Excuse the patchwork background. It was the blackest blacks I could find.
cheers, rob
I LOVE that Sadowsky, awseome.

Hmm..
The part that does the D tuning is the lever, the piece that looks longer than the other rail bridge saddles, what you call a button is actually a screw to tune the amount of displacement done by the lever, in other words, its for tunning the second note.
Hello, I'll introduce myself, or at least my current basses. As you can see, I AM a bassist, not a photographer.
My current main tool, Amfisound Custom:
Another Amfisound Custom:
Gibson Victory Standard 1982:
Squier Precision Vintage Modified:
Wolf WTHB S-4:
Ibanez Roadster RS-900 1980:
Does anyone know where I can get a Lynott-style mirror pickguard for that?
OLP SB-5:
I really like the neck on OLP and actually sent that to Amfisound to be copied for the customs!
Warwick Corvette Standard 5:
Warwick used to be my main bass before I got my first Amfisound.
I'll gladly answer any questions, especially concerning the Amfisound basses. The others are quite common, I'd think.

Stunning...well worth the bandwidth. If you don't mind me asking...what did you have to part with for such a fine instrument?
And if vene-nemesis is correct about the adjustable drop tuner (I think he is), what range can you adjust the drop to? A whole-step or more?

ok...so 1300 x 1.65 (exchange for USDs) = $2,146!! Fail.
Absolutely brilliant bass, though. Maybe I can just borrow one of these from time to time...
.I'll celebrate it all right, but I won't buy you anything!
Seriously though, that's made me broke for the next 18 months.
But, it. Is. So. Worth. It.

OLP stands for Officially Licensed Product and is actually a third-party company that licenses designs from other companies. The only tie they had to Music Man was that they, for a while, licensed the look of Music Man basses to sell at a lower price point. The do the same thing with Spector....
