  1. Hi, 1st let me start off by saying I am not working for them, I am not affiliated in ANY way with this shop. The biggest "discount" they have given me was free shipping to germany (as thanks god i don't live in London anymore). I am only a freelance bass player , looking for good shop easy to deal with. Overall after meeting them at the LBS in 2012, I could not be happier. The basses have been shipped in ultra double time. Very well packed, Barrie even went the extra mile to spend £10 for a better shipping service. I am a freelance player only, so the bank is not always in good shape lol , Barrie has always tried to meet me halfway if needed. I have always got answers to email (which is the only way I have delt with them, I have never even seen the shop) within one day. Which is very cool, 'cause it seems these days it's a fashion not to answer emails , or answer 6 month late and say "i hope you are still interested", well no i am not, in the mean time I went to some one who was interested in my money lol (I won't give any name, as this is about bass gear , and not other companies... lol) All people there are bass players, Barrie went through more basses than me... and he knows his stuff thumbs up for the guys there! cheers bassgear.co.uk

  5. hi the NYC's are not worth at all the extra in my opinion... unless you want a very specific option not available in the metro range.... originally the metro line was designed for japanese market... roger sad' says himself that japanese customer is one fo the most demanding one, and that if a japanese customer is happy with something , 99,99999% of people be... once saw a metro and a nyc with same specs.... they were of course not exactly the same sounding basses, but was the NYC worth £1500/2000 extra?? not at all
  6. post royal gig bump....
  7. bump for complete gent'
  8. Hi dudes, I was last in italy to visit the Wood&Tronics Headquarters, in order to tweak some details on my next PJ bass 4. I was lucky enough to play those two basses before they were shipped to Japan. I must say, W&T have seriously raised their games since my first bass and now enter the same world as all the big brand name (Dare I say "as good" quality as Fodera for a quarter of the price?... Yes I will risk it, you can hit me later).. They are without a doubt right up there with all the top european builders too. Enough speaking, usually pictures talk for themselves.... Feel free to drool... I sure did! thoughts ? questions? ...
  9. The new brubaker brute are amazing... and I think the basic ones are about 500

  12. [quote name='Kees_SoS' timestamp='1367573102' post='2067016'] Indeed it is ;-) Good to see you here, although I'm still sorry to see you parting with your 'Ray. It sounds as though it was made for you. [/quote] Oh don't worry, I'll take good care of that bass :-p
  13. you've got PM
  14. [quote name='Kees_SoS' timestamp='1367507123' post='2066140'] I noticed that all of the mini-switches on the bass are black. They look original, but the back switch (for the treble boost function) should usually be white. The reason I'm mentioning this is that I saw this exact same deviation on an identical bass (sunburst ebony fretless Sabre) for sale in England a couple of months ago. Consequently, it's very likely yours is from the same batch. If the switches are all original, it will simply be a case of MM using whatever they had in stock, which they often did when certain parts were out of stock. For instance, I've seen numerous StingRays with Sabre necks and vice versa. Do you know whether the switches are original? The reason I'm asking is that identical replacement switches for Sabres are impossible to find, and I'd like to have a stock of spares. [/quote] If you are talking about the one that used to be at bassgear.Co.uk . It's the same bass they had. I know Barrie quite well and they shipped it to me. I really feel this could be done with PM's. Doubting in the open wether this bass is original or not is really not a cool thing to do(even for something as small as a switch. One way or another £1388 is still VERY underpriced compared to shop prices. As I had this bass for a few month, I have no way to check wether the switches are %100 original or not. Do you? then please PM me ... Last time some one asked on the Thread wether the angle of the strings was normal at the bridge. Then I started getting PM "are you sure this bass is playable?? it really looks weird to me..." From people taking the first chance available to basically shot my thread down. I have done many transaction without a single problem, have shipped around the world. I am open to discussion on anything regarding "original or not". And so I would be ready to revise any price if any one would end up being right. Still £1388 : underpriced. In the open... not cool...

  16. [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1367214300' post='2062530'] Uncool, best if you deal in PM's when making an offer on a bass,its much more civilised and it does'nt detract from the value the seller has set on his item, publicly! [/quote] +10000000
