Old Horse Murphy

Thanks for all your comments guys. I've tried everything I can but it's a physiological thing unfortunately

[quote name='obbm' post='648299' date='Nov 7 2009, 07:17 PM']Hi Nick This is very sad. I hope you get it sorted pdq. BTW could I tempt you to a 1978 Precision supplied from the factory with a jazz neck? [/quote] Thanks Dave and best wishes to you too. That is one of the nicest P Basses I've ever seen and I've gone all giddy. Temped? In the words of Churchill, "Ohhhhhh Yesssssss"

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='647862' date='Nov 7 2009, 08:21 AM']Sorry to hear this Nick - hope evrything works out and you find a worthy replacement.[/quote] Thanks Alan. Hopefully there's something out there. I can't imagine there's much that's as pretty I've edited my trades list bit too.

Thanks guys- I appreciate all your support. I've had a few injections in to the forearm and enough ice to sink the Titanic but to no avail. I ggged with her last night and we actually had to finish the first set early as I was in so much pain. The second set was a lot of roots and open strings. Sadly, nobody seemed to notice any difference My other Alice (my wife) has been fantastic and despite me thinking she'd moan about me moving her namesake on, I think she knows how miserable I am.

Long story short, I've developed terrible tendonitis in my left forearm due to a 5 string neck spacing and a false knuckle on my ring finger. This won't get better if I continue to play a 5 Sring bass, so I am reluctantly putting up for sale/trade my Shuker 5 String P bass Custom (the Alice Bass). At the bottom of this post is a link to the build diary. The only change is that it now has Bartolinis as opposed to EMG's. The only downside to this is the re-routing to fit the Bart J pickup (a neck EMG J pickup was originally installed). It's not very pretty and is minimal. It does however sound immense Apart from that and a very small ding on the back (pictured) it's been molly-coddled and is as new. Yes I know what I'm doing and yes, I'm going to regret it but it's too nice to have sitting around as furniture. It cost me £1,500 to have made and I'm either looking for around £1,200 or: a decent US Fender P bass plus cash; a 70's P Bass; a Fender US P plus a Jazz/fretless; US reissue P Bass or Jazz bass; a Custom shop Fender P Bass for trade; a Stingray 5 in Pacific Blueburst or black plus some cash etc. This one was my "keeper" but unfortunately no more. No Shuker case I'm afraid but a gigbag will be included and I will post. Thanks for looking and thanks for your understanding over what is a very delicate situation.

Sorted and now on its way to Spain

Definitely one of those "I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing..." threads, but since I got my Shuker 5 String P Bass back with the new pickups, I think I've got the P Bass angle covered. Anyway, I've got a Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn which is in fantastic condition complete with a black, a white and mint coloured pickguards and is currently strung with La Bella Deep Talkin Flats. It is one of the best basses I've ever heard and is a joy to play. The Jazz neck is really quick and very very easy to play. My band is playing a lot more 60's and 70's stuff recently (Cream, Free etc) so I am looking to get hold of a Gibson SG Reissue bass, so would be interested in a trade if possible. I can post some pics up tomorrow when I manage to get the camera back off the wife, but it's a Lakland Duck Dunn Skyline in Candy Apple Red!! Thanks for looking

Now surplus to requirements, I'm selling my new model EBS Multicomp with active/passive switch and true bypass. One of th ebest compressors on the market. It's 8 weeks old maximum and is in excellent condition apart from a chip in the paint on the underside. Comes with original box and a power supply too. £105 inc postage. Thanks for looking

BUMP for lowered prices and newly added Quiklok amp stand.

I'm moving a few bits on to make room for more stuff that's incoming! First up is a Warwick 4u Shallow depth Rockbag. This has been used but is in excellent condition (no tears at all but the leather tabs that fit on the end of the zips have come off- not sure what use they were anyway). This is the shallow bag with useable depth of 440mm. It's exactly the same as this one: [url="http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/music/typeproducts2.asp?id=4105-2613"]http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/music...sp?id=4105-2613[/url] The only reason I'm selling it is to get a 3u one as I've simplified my setup. It's a great bit of kit and would cost you £61 inc postage for a new one. I'm letting mine gor for £35 posted. Next up is a genuine early 70's Fender tuning key which is complete apart from the screws and is in excellent condition apart from some tarnishing. I'm looking for £25 inc postage for this. And finally, I am selling an unused Quiklok amp stand. It's this model and is a great bit of kit for on stage monitoring if you want to hear yourself clearly. Yours for £25 inc postage: [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/bs-317/9662"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/bs-317/9662[/url] [url="http://www.quiklok.com/catalog/?p=productsMore&iProduct=212&sName=BS-317"]http://www.quiklok.com/catalog/?p=products...mp;sName=BS-317[/url]

I have just taken delivery of a blackXL (42-54") Comfort Strapp but I can't get the bass to sit at the right angle for me. As a result I'm going back to me old thick leather strap. It is literally brand new apart from the fact that I have fitted some Schaller Strap locks to it, which I'll also include in the sale. SOLD
