  1. Beautiful series 1 single cut, built for me so single owner and in immaculate condition. Specs as follows: 33 scale 18mm spacing at the bridge What I would describe as a shallow C profile - somewhere between and C and flat D Through neck Bartolini P4s Ash body, maple neck with purpleheart Walnut top, walnut back and control covers, walnut facings on front and rear of headstock (it is truly a work of art) Black hardware. Hipshot tuners, hipshot piezo bridge. East unipre. Controls are: Vol and balance on stack 1 Mid freq and mid cut/boost stack 2 Bass/Treble on stack 3 (pull for bright boost) Passive tone (pull for passive) Piezo vol, pull for mid-dark boost Each P4 has a three way coil tap for series, single coil and parallel Final switch is for the neck LEDs, off/side/front and side Set up by Martin last year and strung with Elixirs I have to say, it's a fabulous bass. It is a joy to behold and tremendous playability. The sale is reluctant as I have a strong degree of personal investment in the bass (not just the obvious financial) however I mainly play other basses and following some soul searching I think the time is right to move it on, I hope to a new and happy home. I'm happy to sell but frankly just as interested in trades. If the latter, or PX, then the following might be helpful: Only basses please - I'm sorted for amps and other stuff I'm sorted for Fender type basses so no Ps or Js please No 33s please, and would definitely prefer 18mm spacing but 19 is cool if the bass is comfy... Ideally looking for another 6 Very sorry for my poor photography skills! Please let me know if you want more info or specific shots of the bass, I'm very happy to speak on the phone or vid call so you can get a proper look. The bass is in Norwich and you're welcome to check it out in person if that's viable for you. And please don't tell Martin....
  2. Still here. I'm enjoying looking at it but not using it. Very happy to talk about trades, px up or down. Bass gear, exotic animals and plants, etc
  3. 5 has always felt like 4+1 to me but 6 is totally different, it's 6 I love 6s but for 99% of what I do it's a guilty pleasure. I'm ashamed to say it leads me places I probably wouldn't go. FWIW I agree with Ambient, it looks like a fairly reasonable spread of 6ers at the moment with one or two of them being longer term residents
  4. Hello all, Up for grabs my ZZB Deluxe in blueburst. I'm no expect on the pedigree of these basses but its a Japanese Matsumoko build of some description. It has playwear and a few dinks but generally well cared for over the years and in good condition, finish is still very good imo. Everything works just fine and it has a pretty decent set up although depending on what you need some new strings might be desirable. Actually a very good quality bass, neck pickup in particular has got a pretty decent P vibe. And, of course, it is extremely pointy. Shipping this will be very difficult due to the unusual shape so collection from Norwich would be best. I don't mind a reasonable journey to handover if you cover my costs.
  5. I agreed but the B did impede, in the end I had to let it off the lead
  6. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  7. Unfortunately our deal did not work out as a cab was damaged in transit. Emili was great about it though, patient and constructive whilst we got the claim sorted with the shipping firm. Always good coms to help glue things together. A great BCer and I would not hesitate to deal with him again.
  8. As I was scrolling down I was thinking 'hmmm, is Peter onto this yet'!!!!
  9. I'm a way away from Cheltenham these days but I lived there when the festival first started and was run by Jim Smith. The acts were a lot more jazz centric then and in the first few years it was brilliant, loads of A list global acts and many more top UK players to. Also a really good fringe scene, plenty of scope to gig and hang generally. Shame if it's a bit more commercial these days but I guess like all things these festivals change and evolve over time. Great news that it's still going frankly even if the odd 'mainstreamer' slips under the radar! There are some really nice venues so long may it continue
  10. 10s and 12s imo are very different beasts. I've enjoyed using both but they are different and it might take you a while to get used to the 12. I've sometimes felt the 12 is not tight enough and has flap on the lows but then the tradeoff is that you do get bigger rounder lows. I used a 210 the other night and it was great but lacked depth in some regards... Sometimes it takes a bit of experimentation to find a line of best fit. I'm still trying after 30 years.....!
  11. Is this the same bass that was in the gallery recently? It's looks similar and I remember the 36 scale. Nice bass in any regard!
  12. OK so at fullest length and measured end to end: The shortest is 38 inches, this is also slightly wider and a little thicker than the others. Really nice in fact (but too short for me) The Fender logo'd one goes to 48 inches, this is probably OK actually but I'll put it in the mix for now anyway The other two are almost identical and go to 44 inches Get in touch through the usual channels!
  13. I've ended up with three of these, will take some exact measurements tonight but they are the small variety. Very good condition, I've recently had to change my bass height and they are now no longer quite long enough. Would very happily trade for similar straps but longer.
  14. Bury is probably a good shout geographically. I've played at the Hunter Club, don't really have a sense if the rooms there would be big enough for what we need (how many typically attend?), the main room is a good size and acoustic though. I know a chap that uses it very regularly for jazz gigs, it works well and I'm happy to get in touch with him for a line on pricing, contacts etc if we think that might be a goer. Looking forward to it!
