  1. What a pleasure to have the opportunity to deal with David again. Great communication and always helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!
  2. No worries - I can totally relate since I can no longer afford to keep it and certainly couldn't afford to buy it given my current situation. Just hoping someone luckier than us out there somewhere...? Hopefully the Sadowsky price breakdown might help someone more fortunate realise this is one of the cheapest ways to acquire one of the best basses money can buy... (imho)
  3. Thanks! Hoping someone will realise it's not so expensive when you consider that if you ordered this today from Roger, he is quoting $5800 for a NYC 5-string, plus $1500 for Master Grade fingerboard, plus $150 for vintage style, plus $200 for matching headstock. That's $7650 in the US, so for UK customers add, say, $200 shipping & insurance, 2% import duty on that and another 20% VAT on the whole lot. At today's exchange rate (£1=$1.37), that comes to just over £7000. Bear in mind too that this bass is in close to mint condition Just saying... 😉
  4. Photos added. A kind Basschat member has pointed out that there is a loose piece of debris near the bridge in the sixth pic below that looks like a chip in the finish. Please rest assured it is not a chip! The finish is immaculate as can be seen in the main pic above. Thanks for pointing this out David (Risk101)!
  5. CIJ Jaguar bass in very good condition. These are notorious for neck dive. I fitted genuine USA Hipshot Ultralites to counter this. The back of the neck has also been given a nicely subtle satin finish. The hipshots required that the original tuner holes be filled, but the effect is subtle, as per photos. Balance is much improved. I've found this Jaguar to be very versatile, tone-wise. The neck on this one now feels great. Weight c. 8lb 13.5oz (about 4kg). Prefer collection. Shipping quote on request. Location Herts, UK.
  6. Could you advise the scale-length, approx weight, nut width and string spacing on this beautiful bass please?
  7. Lovely looking bass! I can recommend David as a great seller having bought a Lakland from him in the past. GLWTS
  8. Hi - what is the scale length on this please?
  9. After nearly doing deals on a couple of previous occasions, finally closed on a trade, swapping US Lāklands - my BG for his JO. The transaction couldn't have gone more smoothly - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mikkel to anyone on basschat. A pleasure to have made his acquaintance on here:)
  10. Sold my StingRay Classic to Christos today - great guy to deal with. All went very smoothly
  11. Thanks BaconCheese I've had one or two questions about trades - looking for a cash sale on this one though, but thanks for the emails. Just to point out - the bar code label in the Flickr pics on the back of the bass has been removed (it was from when the bass was new). No marks or anything remain, don't worry. It was one of those easy-peel labels
  12. NOW SOLD ========== Not sure I should be selling this, but here goes… It was hard to get hold of and so I’ve agonised over it but I just can’t escape the fact that the StingRay isn’t quite my thing. I was very disappointed as I had wanted this bass for so long. Haven’t we all wanted to play/sound like Bernard Edwards at least once in our lives? I wish… The bass has the sound, but I don’t! I should have known better. It took me a long search to find this particular ‘Ray as I didn’t really want one of the regular colours that were available in the UK, plus I wanted one that wasn’t the usual 10-lbs or more. It was hand-picked in the USA for its lightweight one-piece ash body – and of course the trans-white finish that really shows off the grain. Imported to the UK, brand new, by me. Nice subtle birdseye maple on the neck. All original stuff included (HSC etc.). Near mint condition. Weighs just 4.2kg – not super lightweight but very good for a ‘Ray. Prefer collect only from Herts, UK please. £1500 No trades on this one [attachment=234356:DSCF4179_FL.jpg] [attachment=234357:DSCF4174_FL.jpg] Photos here: [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96155637@N00/sets/72157661524811482/with/23244118381/"]https://www.flickr.c...th/23244118381/[/url]
  13. Sold my Sadowsky RV4 to Jonathan - thanks again:) The whole transaction went very smoothly - great guy to deal with.
