So, as bassists we like the low notes right? A low B makes sense then - we like that. Luvverly low frequencies. A fiver also adds some flexibility with playing positions on the neck. So 5 string basses then, spot on & make sense yes? On that basis why bother with a four string bass, when a five has the same strings but allows you to do more? Four's seem to be so last year..... Six (& more) string basses tend to have higher strings than a G. What's the point in that for a bass? We're bassists right & we want to be driving the rhythm section along at the deep end, not fannying about at frequencies where guitarists twat around in! In case you missed it this post is a little bit facetious, but grenade lobbed anyway......! :-) -
I've got three at the moment, had more but would consider two the minimum so that I've got a back up at a gig if required. That's probably irrational but I have a risk adverse mentality!!

According to FB, pre orders for the new models in May, for June delivery - to US customers mind. Presumably won't be long after they'll be available from Thomann.

A bit overdue as I've had this for a few weeks now. Nice & light on the strap, plays like butter & sounds fantastic. Given the price of Fender's current equivalent new model, i.e. the nearly £2k Elite, these at roughly half that bought used, are a bit of a steal!

Nice one Andrew - looks a corker!

I've just bought Andrew's Maruszczyk 5 string. Drove to his house to pick it up so we had a good old natter about all things bass too. Very nice bloke & I would echo all the things mentioned above in other feedback posts. Cheers Andrew.

Anybody play a Jazzus? If so, how does it compare to a US Fender Jazz?
-
Does this come with the original ABS case? -
Sean just bought my Novation Ultranova. Superb communication, swift payment & an all round easy transaction. Hope you enjoy the synth Sean - a very musical piece of kit & enormous fun too!

In great condition - i used it with a B3 I sold ages ago, but forgot I had this. Hence it's not had too much use. I'll include a high quality TRS cable I bought separately - a Cleartone half metre cable fitted with Neutrik's. Believe you can use this with a number of Zoom pedals. Price includes UK postage.

**SOLD**Sire Marcus Miller V7 5 string with official gigbag
Wilco replied to Wilco's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='lownote12' timestamp='1487253355' post='3238394'] Why not. I've bought and sold 26 basses, so that's 56 tranactions of which around 45 were by courier. Only one came a cropper when the vendor didn't put any packing/ protection on the bass inside its travel box. Plus you can insure it. Just a thought. [/quote] I've posted basses before, but always in a hardcase. This comes with a gigbag which is definitely a step up from most gigbags, but not something I'm comfortable with using as postage protection, & I've not got a box big enough to use as extra protection. I may be being over cautious, but it's a lovely looking bass & I'drather it ends up in the new owners hands ding free! -

Loads of postal requests, but I'd rather not risk a courier. An hours drive in any direction from Swindon is a large area - no interest from any South / South West players? -

New pics type bumpage. -
Price drop to £225 + p&p. Will now post.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1487021968' post='3236368'] Never seen the point. Age and wear = mojo. Relicing does not confer mojo.. [/quote] Another +1 to this. Just don't get it at all. A complete mystery to me why anyone would consider an artificially worn instrument to be a good thing.

Sensible offers listened to. Surely the keyboard player in your band needs this!! ;-)

Alder body / rosewood fretboard version. Comes with official gig bag. Fitted with Fender straplocks. You'll probably be aware of the excellent reputation these basses have quickly established. Great looking & awesome sounding instrument with a low action, all for a comparatively modest outlay. In excellent condition. Collection from Swindon or meet/deliver up to an hour away.

[quote name='smaz' timestamp='1486294461' post='3230583'] Or Cleartone: http://www.award-session.com/cleartone_cables.html [/quote] +1 for these. The instrument cables I got from them have been great & trouble free for a few years now.

A Sire Marcus Miller V7 Vintage. Will give you all the tonal variation you need, & you'll have cash spare to invest in your pedalboard.

Now £225 Excellent analogue modelling synth. Official info here; https://uk.novationmusic.com/synths/ultranova# One output socket is fully working but a different look to the others, although it was repaired by the manufacturer. Overall in great condition, nice playability & awesome sounds. UK postage only - £15 Special Delivery

If so, clever move by Markbass. Sire are shifting their Marcus Miller basses by the bucketload - generally a waiting time for most models. Think of all those players & the kudos they will more than likely put on another Marcus associated product....... (Although I've got a Berg, so i won't be one of them!)
-
Probably best to point you in the direction of the website to get an idea of what this bit of kit does;- https://www.keithmcmillen.com/products/12-step/ Bought to use with a band that never really got off the ground, so it as had minimal use & is in excellent condition as you can see from the attached pictures. Price + postage at cost (UK only)

The first Asia album is one of my favourite albums of all time, largely because of JW's bass & vocal contributions. Still play it regularly. Sad news indeed.
