[/quote] UK RRP for this is £549: [url="http://hinesitedistribution.enticom.co.uk/UserFiles/File/LACE%20HELIX%20GUITAR%20RETAIL%20PRICE%20LIST%20APRIL%202009.pdf"]http://hinesitedistribution.enticom.co.uk/...PRIL%202009.pdf[/url] Which makes this quite a substantial barg. I recently got the through-neck 4, and after some time spent getting it right, am gradually falling in love. Jon. [/quote] Thanks for that Jon ! ... was obviously looking in the wrong place(s).

If changed to R'wounds then the bass will sound as per the vidz. Was interested to try this new/concept bass with a radical new design and the new pickups but find I'm not using it. Not sure if (yet) available in UK, other than on ebay (?) where prices seem to go from £499 (for this model) through £699 ('L' version, which is the same but s/burst) £799 (neck-thru / 2-Pup) to £899 (LE NT/2-Pup in stealth black finish). £275... final reduction to [b]£249[/b]

[quote name='samkeen' post='688756' date='Dec 18 2009, 10:13 PM']I have fairly recently acquired a Devon from Eubassix and it's bloody brilliant. Eubassix is also a great guy to deal with so if you're considering it, go for it [/quote] .. Thanks Sam - pleased to hear that the Devon FL5 is still working well for you ! ... when's the M.Manring thing due to commence ? ....

Link:- [url="http://www.gear4music.com/search/fishman/filters=d:"]http://www.gear4music.com/search/fishman/filters=d:[/url], .. not sure if the best available (?) but seems to be about 'ball-park': so the combined pickup & pre is currently £220-300 depending upon the pre/EQ. Asking £165 / £195 for the BP-100 + EQ / Pro-EQ (respectively) - includes postage

Re/revised and edited. The ££ is not now so urgently required and it's getting close to Xmas. I might re-think this in the NY and go back to my idea of defretting the Bocote bass. Until then, willing to accept offers (or interesting/equitable trades) on either bass - based on the original pricing (P#1) as these basses are exceptional instuments. Current pricelist (+options):- [url="http://www.xotic.us/guitars/Pricelist_XB.pdf"]http://www.xotic.us/guitars/Pricelist_XB.pdf[/url] ...and available basses (only 7/21 recent builds remain available):- [url="http://www.xotic.us/guitars/available/index.html"]http://www.xotic.us/guitars/available/index.html[/url] (you can click on individual instruments for specs & photos. Very little change/s on the new basses from mine).

Maybe last chance before Xmas (allowing time for the Courier) - I had a local offer (ebay listing) of £25 (!). Guy reckoned these were only about £110-125 inclusive of an amp,bag etc. Checked to find that they are .. but NOT the sunburst version for which the package is £199-239. Plus the other stuff in the package is pretty poor (as I suspect are the strings and set-up). Last try before Xmas for this one which has decent strings & set-up (and is s/burst)

Agree - 'really sold bass with a good P tone'. This one's about 9.5lbs

Courier inclusive ... Xmas special !!

Either still currently available: had a confirmed offer on the Bocote/Natural inclusive of Courier to USA (the guys there know these basses, how good they are and how hard to find) ... and then the £ went up against the $ and it became prohibitive (particularly with PayPal's rubbish axchange rate!).

Fishman (x2 bits) still here - currently ebayed @ £99 (but likely 2B removed) - happy to accept offers based on asking.

Confirmed as SOLD !!

Rpt. w/end special: jsut noticed that the 3TB is usually more expensive than the other PK40's .. so this is the top-of-the-range model!! Great for Xmas - no need to shop-around, amonsgt the crowds...

now ON-HOLD....
