  7. He won't post it I've already asked......
  8. He rewound a Rickenbacker pickup for me and sorted out the wiring harness, good price, good guy to deal with, although it wasn't the quickest service it provided good results.
  9. What's the weight of it please - can't see it mentioned sorry if I've missed it using the mobile version! Cheers
  10. Is this the one that was on eBay? Looked good.
  11. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1385233187' post='2285965'] Someone made an offer of £475 on this, which was declined! Better get your Shergold basses while you can! Now Vintage & Rare are offering one - at 951 Euros (£795)!! [url="http://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Shergold-Marathon-MK1a-Early-80s-White-26752"]http://www.vintagean...80s-White-26752[/url] [/quote] I contacted him with an offer after it ended but he declined. He told me the offer for it which I still reckon is still too high given the condition of it. My Marathon 4 is near mint and came with the original case, a strap and an old curly lead. It was under £410. These are great basses but don't pay silly prices for them, the really rare ones are the Marathon 6 and 8 strings now they are worthy of silly prices!

  13. [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1385208189' post='2285587'] Here it is - just a couple of pics taken on my phone, still thinking about it, I haven't bought it yet... [/quote] It's a Mark 1 as it has the large rectangular scratchplate to cover the rout for the Hayman pickups as it's made from Hayman surplus parts. Very nice - if you decide against let me know - I'll have it!

    You guessed correct - sorry
  15. Buy it, my Marathon(s) are all superb and really are classics with true Burns lineage. My Marathon 4 is similar to the one in the pic and it's very light weight the action is superb. Earlier Marathons were made from Hayman parts and had truss rod access at the back of the body as you have said, these are a little more awkward to adjust but the necks are generally very stable owing to Jack Golder's very strict way of seasoning the woods used. It's also worth noting that NOS necks to come up for sale occasionally as there was some stock left over following the demise of the Shergold company. Post some pics if you get it!

  17. £1800....??!!?....because she's worth it.....
  18. Nice but expensive it's an earlier one too as the neck pocket generally has a raised area to stabilise the neck placement - can't see that on the pic.
  19. It weighs 6lbs I asked!
  20. Still here bump
