[quote name='Gareth Hughes' post='525343' date='Jun 26 2009, 09:17 PM']Hi Nick - Might sound silly to say but try roundwounds on it. As much as I loved my 2008 P with D'Addario Flats on it -sounded amazing at home or in the studio - I could never get any definition from it live. Switched back to roundwounds and I'm a happy man again.[/quote] Hi Gareth- I've tried Roundwounds on it and you're right, it definitely makes a differnece. Unfortunately not enough though for me. Cheers Nick

Hello all- it's been a while but I'm back Anway, I've been gigging regularly and more and more over the last weeks I've noticed my old hearing problems returning and have really struggled to hear my P Bass. It got so bad last night that I played the first set blind (deaf?). Fortunately, after the first set I ended up using a Stingray that I borrowed of a mate of mine and Wow; epiphany moment!! Anyway, I've decided that it's time to possibly go down that route on a permanent. As a result, I'm looking for a trade with my 2008 US P Bass for a Stingray 5 with a bit of money thrown in from me. This P is the best, most comfortable bass I've ever owned and I'm gutted to let it go. It's sunburst/rosewood and is in near-excellent condition (apart from some marks across the top edge due to cuff buttons- not through the paint though). Apart from that, there's a small chip on the pickguard where the truss rod access hole is. It comes with the new style case, all the candy and is strung with La Bella Deep Talkin Flatwounds. It comes with the original new style case, all the candy and tags too. This is my only road-worthy bass at the moment (my Shuker is going through a bit of a mod) and I have a gig next Thursday, so if anyone is interested, a meet would be ideal for me so I'm not without a bass. I live in Surrey but am willing to meet somewhere if needs be. Thanks for reading. I figured it was only a matter of time before my hearing went again. Ah well, it could be a lot worse Pictures are courtesy of Clarky. I traded it with him for a Rickenbacker a while back but missed it so much, I bought it again! EDIT: Due to the number of PM's asking for a sale price, I'd let this go for £560 inc postage or £545 if picked up/meet arranged. These sell for well over £830 new and I'll throw in a brand new set of La Bella Deep Talkin strings and a genuine unused white Fender pickguard. Further pics have been psoted further down this topic.

It's an amazing Bass Barrie and if I could afford it, it wouldn't be leaving my house any time soon! The sound this thing produces is amazing; very deep and dark but no loss of definition. The B String is tight and sounds very clear. It's also spotless and as new. The finish is even better in the flesh than in Barrie's pics. Thanks again for the loan Barrie. Looking forward to meeting up again soon

Bump fot my lovely Cab

Now just for sale as I've managed to pick up another cab

Not sur eif this is in the right forum, but a mate of mine is looking to sell his SWR Working Man's 2x10C Combo, which weighs a ton but pushes out close to 250W. He says it's 2 years old and immaculate, but has no idea of the going rate for these. Any ideas?

[quote name='molan' post='462616' date='Apr 15 2009, 12:17 AM']Just a quick note to say that Rich's 310 is Nick's old one as he sold it to me (but it wouldn't fit in the boot of my new car!). Rich - Nick is a great guy, solid as a rock & keeps his gear in immaculate condition, definitely a 'buy with confidence' guy Nick - the deal I did with Rich was a smooth as could it possibly have been, another very nice chap & super easy to deal with Ok - that's it, my matchmaking days are over now [/quote] If ever the Advertising business doesn't pay your mortgage Barrie, I reckon you could be the next Cilla Black!

Gorgeous bass. I really regret selling my 70's one I had in the same colour scheme as this

[quote name='peety' post='460528' date='Apr 12 2009, 01:07 PM']going to let us in on what it is Nick ? oh and have a bump on me mate for what is now a serious bargain[/quote] I've got the chance of picking up a fretless Ray Steve, but the seller has been waiting a while now for me to sell this (hence the price drop). Thanks for the Bump mate

I've been offered something I really want but I have to move quickly! A Bank Holiday Bump for a price of £640
