Thanks/agree Kriss, Joey & SIC. Seems odd to have already packed a bass (?) particularly - Kriss P being correct - if it's been packed/ready-to-go for c. 2 years ?!!.

Paul bought a Fender Jazz bass bridge cover (via Wanted section). Easy, smooth transaction sorted easily and very quickly. Highly recommended !

All I asked was if he might be interested in trade/s and could he please add some more photos (only 2 on the listing, both not so good, none of the back of the bass) Received the following tirade in response (?!!) :- " . I have several Basses from Jens ... so I am not interested in Trade. Look, I am too long into Ebay trade ( over 15 Years) and never somebody who asked odd questions to see a Bass from behind bought something from me ... or made it worthwhile to make the effort to unpack the bass ... make fotos etc :-) ( its about sound, sound , sound ... or am I wrong :-) Really interested customer pick up the phone, speak to me in person and ask me questions that really matter e.g. about soudspecifications or Sustain ... or Mwah - Effekt ... or ease of play ... So what do you like to know about the backside of this bass ... it is new , so not 1 Trace of wear will be visible ... My best regards Wolf

[quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1478130273' post='3167090'] Yep that was mine. The price has gone up a few quid! Wonder if they are the same strings I had on it? Funny thing - when I was selling it I took it along to Mark at Bass Direct. I was amazed when he said "never heard of them." Haven't held it against him though! [/quote] I think they are the same strings (!) .. apparently, if you don't play the bass then they'll be fine (?!!). This was his reply to my specific (strings) Q:- [color=#000080][i]"....yes, bought it but never played it, so i am selling it! are you interested in buying a bass or why are you contacting me again?...."[/i][/color] previous contact was about one (of 2) of his Celinders listed (also listed a Modulus VJ4 as 'NEW'), as I didn't think any NEW basses were currently available from Cristian C.:- [color=#000080][i]"... i am selling some of my private basses. i bought some basses new from shops but didn't play them, they stayed in their cases a few years, that's why they are sold as "NEW" - because they are new ...."[/i][/color] Certainly looks a goood 'investment' if it does sell at the asking price; but he's listed the 4 basses several times already. Not totally surprised re BassDir ... have found most shops' bass 'specialists' have a pretty limited knowledge of less well known instruments

http://www.ebay.de/itm/James-Tyler-4-String-Bass-/172394736477?hash=item282386eb5d:g:F~EAAOSw8oFXx1ve ... don't see many of these Tyler basses which had a great reputation when they were around. This one seems to have been sold on BC back in 2010 (... and appears to have the same strings fitted?!!) :_ http://basschat.co.uk/topic/68518-soldjames-tyler-bass-for-sale-uk-raresold/page__p__724144__hl__tyler__fromsearch__1#entry724144

"..... a rather special custom bass, at least the unusual 1pickup configuration: we built "this kind of" bass a couple of times. Trevor Bolder from Uriah Heep ordered a 1-singlecoil California some years ago, maybe that inspired some others... who knows. I'm not sure if we ever built a fretless in a similar 1pickup style. Other than the pickup it's a California TT4 (would be a T4, to be correct) Rarewood Edition. Specs are: Mahogany body Cocobolo top maple neck rosewood fretboard 22 frets Pearloid dot inlays black hardware Delano pickup (hum-cancelling) Glockenklang 3Bd EQ the EQ is active/passible switchable and the treble knob is a passive tone control in passive mode. unique custom bass (from Gregor / Holger - Sandberg)

Recent deal with Chris. Prompt, clear communication throughout - dead easy! Highly recommended to all BC'ers !!

Delighted to commence this for Dave G, who's been positively active on BC for several years and has left FB for others. Recent deal (Dave bought a Headrush FX pedal from me) - commenced and concluded with absolutly no problems. Excellent, prompt communication throughout. Can recommend wholeheartedly to all BC'ers.
