good idea mate, i think my parents will help me out too, speshly my dad as he also bought my other basses and gave me the jaydee which i love,

but i think ive got to do this on my own too , cant wait though...i will sell my beatle bass, but not the jazz it was my first proper instrument and its not really worth that much anyway know what i mean buddy???


marcus

ive sent him an email but havent recieved one yet,

thanks for the good luch rich im so determined its amazing, cant wait until the day that i flick open that hiscox case and see my beuatiful status laying in there ...

marcus

i cant wait, my 18th birthday present is gunna be the best ever, even if i have to work for it aswell lol,

rich what dya think of me getting leds fitted by sims, after ive had the bass a while???


thanks

marcus

hi rich, thanks mate, ill have a grand saved up by my birthday then i can save the rest up while the build is being completed ...

just wondering, can rob take photo while the bass is being produced/made???

thanks again


mb

just wondering guys, ive put this on the statii website aswell, but if i order a kingbass mk-II without le.d.s, but with 16.5mm string spacing and the bendwell itll bring my price up to 2095, i was just wondering how much it costs (like a deposit), to get the build underway???, i think maybe you know rich???


thanks to everyone

marcus

cool vid nick, the bass sounds awesome...!

thanks rich, i love your kingbass mate really got into them all of a sudden dont know why ...

might be the MK-II thats done it,

im not sure about the leds mate, really thats something id like to find out about, because of corse my other option would be to buy a kingbass mk-II artist with 16.5 string spacing, bendwell which would come to £2095, still a lot of money, but once i had the bass i could still play it and love it, whilst saving up the extra £695 to get the front and side led's fiitted...

marcus

if i ordered one it would be quilted maple, with blud led's bendwell, 16.5mm string spacing, basically the dogs doo-dahs's lol...

and if i buy a second hand mk-I, i wouldnt mind what colour the leds and wood were as long as it were, and artist model, through neck, 16.5mm spacing and had front plus side leds ....

marcus

stilll need options as its a lot of money for me...

same here mate id prefer the new one, but want an all singing-all dancing one, and that gunna set me back nearly 3000...

cant save up that much, i dont think...
but i dont know???


opinions

i think im going to settle for a second-hand kingbass mk-I artist, must have everythign on it though. i think this as it would be a lot cheaper, and i also quite like the reading sound ,

thoughts/opinions
am i doing the right thing?

let me knowplease people

marcus

yeah thanks again nick, cant wait until next year, we should have a get together sometime

we be fun, and loud


look forward to it mate

hi dudes!!! well happy just got back from the nec, went to music live and played the kingbass mk-II what an instrument, thansk nick for letting me have a quick blast!!! ...

im definately saving up for one, starting from now, still not whether to have the leds or not, umm....i think i will if your gunna do it do it properly

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='317023' date='Oct 28 2008, 07:55 PM']Hmmm, this could just be a shot in the dark, but maybe its something to do with the LEDs?

I'm still waiting to see the 5 string version.[/quote]

almost right in one mate, i just dont like the colour of the wood and those red leds together...i think its a bit silly looking lol, like an alembic wannabe almost, still prefer it though tbh...

i like all of them, except the one with red and green leds, dont ask why???

haha, the fait accompli video thats on the internet (youtube), is the one which was broadcast on t.v. however the video is longer and has more better footage

peace

marcus

ill pop along....i havent read the thread but is people taking gear???


sorry to be lazy
