Cheers! It certainly is........ Looks like it's getting traded though if no interest/offers!

Bump

[quote name='gareth1982' post='1056794' date='Dec 12 2010, 11:20 PM']Just to answer a couple of questions I've had regarding the weight of the bass, yes, it's quite heavy. I dont have any scales but its heavier than my stingray 5 and my bubinga corvette 5 as it's presumably got a mahogany body. It sustains forever with those EMGs on it![/quote]

[quote name='gareth1982' post='1056501' date='Dec 12 2010, 08:39 PM']1997 model. It has EMG humbuckers. It is currently strung with 'halfwound' strings; not roundwounds but not quite flats. I've played it for probably 5 hours in the 2 years I've owned it which is reflected in condition. It's basically like new. Plays and sounds superb too, but it's just too 'rocky'and powerful for the band I play in (soul and motown stuff). Gibson gigbag with it too.

If it doesn't sell, I am doing a trade next weekend, but am just seeing if there is any interest in a straight sale on here and I can still get what I want with the cash.

Looking for £700 or make me an offer.[/quote]

Looking for £700 or make me an offer. I would be interested in a trade for a nice USA Jazz deluxe or the like, 4 or 5. Or what have ya got? Message me with any offers.

my 5 string....mmmmm!!

bump for a gorgeous bass and to remind you of my lovely black cherry 5er! ....you don't want to keep that Ibanez you know!

My Euro5 LX is here, mint, and only an hour away! If you want some piccies of it, I can take them!

Cheers

[quote name='Rayman' post='1049614' date='Dec 6 2010, 05:22 PM']Why thank you sir. Seriously having second thoughts though, [i]both[/i] basses were amazing in rehearsal last night, particularly the LX4.

I think I'll keep 'em and save up for a Euro 5.[/quote]

Me, because my other half (fiance actually) is the trumpet player in my band (see link below) so I get the best of both worlds! No nagging about being out gigging or anything. Bliss!

20 quid posted to a fellow basschatter who'd like a chorus pedal?

I've got a set of (brand new, never fitted) roundwounds that I'd swap for your flats....I THINK they are Stadium Elites but the box has long since gone (they are in a plastic sealed packet though). Interested?

where are you based?

what a nice idea! Count me in please!!

A 1988, quilted Maple (?) turquoise see-thru, twin humbuckers and active electronics. In very good condition, as new, apart from the gold plated hardware looking a bit worn.

Just plugged in and tried it and it plays and sounds great, will go down a treat with my 80's glam-metal band!

Anyone got any thoughts on these as regards what I should have paid, any pitfalls etc?

Turns out the guy is a mate of basschatter Peteacademy's so I reckon it will probably turn out to be a good deal.

Only drawback is, I may have to move something on to appease the other half....[/quote]


Well i dont have any experience on that specific model but I do have a yamaha bass....a 4 string active rbx800...i play in a soul band and have 5 string warwicks, musicmans, a spector, a status, a gibson les paul etc etc. All expensive basses...... The yamaha sounds the best out of the lot. It really really does. I paid 140 qud for it about 8 years ago when I first started playing bass. I hardly ever use it, but took it to a gig last month as a back up and I just couldnt get my warwick to cut through,,,,I plugged in the yamaha, it having not seen the light of day for 12 months, and it just sounded perfect; it was still in tune in fact! Yamaha don't make crap!

Gareth

to the top! anyone? what you got?

What it says on the tin really; I've got a 2007 Spector Euro5LX (in black cherry with gold hardware) like this

[url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/spector-euro5...k-cherry--80045"]http://www.dv247.com/guitars/spector-euro5...k-cherry--80045[/url]

that I don't really use (bought on a whim of feeling flush) that I'm wanting to swap for a markbass rig (head and cab or larger combo) AND a decent 5 (or even 4 string) bass of decent quality that I can take to gigs as back up to my Stingray. I will post some pics of the Spector if there's any serious interest. The bass is seriously mint and has had literally either 2 or 3 gigs played on it. It just doesn't sit right in the soul band that I play in and sounds too synth-like for my taste. I've tried to get on with it; it's gorgeous to play, but I feel I need to pass it on and get something in return that I will use.

Cheers

thanks[/quote]

Not really lookingfor a cash sale, but rather a swap. Any offers? Just message/email me.

Cheers, Gareth

Would be interested in swaps for soemthing decent, fretted / fretless, preferably 5-string. What you got folks?

had a few enquiries so far...anyone else interested in either?

OK, I have a 1976 Guild B-301 bass in cream with a black scratchplate, totally original, and a 1999 Gibson Les Paul 5 string bass in black with EMG humbuckers and I am looking to swap either for something decent, preferably 5 string, maybe fretless (I'd consider a fretless 4 string). Please, nothing rubbish though. Something like a decent Warwick, Musicman, Fender, Lakland or the like. Message me with any offers. Oh, and I'm based in Barnsley, Yorkshire and work in Leeds.
