  1. Would just like to say. BARGAIN ALERT!!! Fantastic looking bass and being a Jon Shuker bass, will be an amazing player too!! GLWTS๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  2. Ironically enough the first bass I ever owned as a lad!! Purchased late summer from Thompson's electrical store in Edinburgh, with the money I made from my summer job!! Very Early eighties..Tempus Fugit...lol๐Ÿ˜‚ These Kay basses later Cort I believe.. were the business..Think to much sweat destroyed the original pickups on mine!! Then I moved onto a Westone Thunder 1A..I believe I sold the Kay it to another local band who converted it into a Fretless!! If they come up worth an investment in my eyes..With some EMG Geezer pickups..and quality new Hardwear would really cut the mustard..Great job on the bass๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ ps the knob on the pickup selector was pretty much just like that๐Ÿ‘
  3. Bargain of the WEEK!!! GLWTS๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  4. Genius..RIP
  5. Had a B 301F fretless, as close as you will get to a double bass sound. Brilliant!!! The bridge though, nightmare๐Ÿ™ˆ That said, another one I should not have sold..ho hum...
  6. Just had a wonderful transaction on a Dean B2 bass with Sean .A pleasure to do business with..Buy/sell/trade with confidence..A true gent๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  7. Hi Ped..Thanks for the heads up Sifam control knobs..Have managed to order some..Good news๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  8. Yes something like that would be the business!! Beautiful flame maple in the neck๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  9. Hi Ped, Yes it is an out an out beauty and a joy to play..Yes the knobs are not the original but do work, any information on originals always good..thanks. Alan๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  10. Is this worth a mention in the Vigier porn thread? My 89 Passion series 111, and my recently acquired 83 Arpege series1 Both are incredible instruments..Took abit of time to find an Arpege series1/11 funnily enough! Delighted to have this and quite possibly the best neck I have played on any bass, just amazing..Coming to terms now with how the electronics work.. Sounds great..In excellent condition, Replacing the cracked back control plate, known Vigier problem..cutting out a bit of plastic to size no big deal..So this is the second Arpege that I have owned..I had a series 1V..Wonderful bass all singing and dancing, the Glokenklang preamp..but I just feel the older through neck models have abit more in my humble opinion..This maybe nearly forty years old but still pretty groundbreaking in my eyes..Now what about a fretless.lol๐Ÿ‘๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  11. Just bought a beautiful Vigier Arpege of Mustapha..Total pleasure to do business with!! Great communication throughput our transaction.. buy sell or trade with confidence.More importantly Great bloke too!๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  12. Great basses these!! GLWTS๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  13. Primitive by the Joke says it All. Youths Bassline sums it up and simplistic genius ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ‘Š
  14. NEW MODEL ARMY... VENGANCE!! Maybe post punk..but doesn't get any better than this..Stuart Morro with his very distinctive style..eddgy!! Song just makes me think of Matt Hancock and his lies and cronyism๐Ÿคฌ Enjoy๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ https://youtu.be/53IAhyQSKmQ
  15. Just bought a beautiful bass of Mustapha, mustafunk..Brilliant communications throughout the whole sale..Highly recommended seller and a great guy๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  16. No not in my eyes captures the acoustic sound of the bass๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  17. Hi there Sam, the eq doesn't cover the Piezo just a volume for that,Piezo by itself great for tapping, but when combined with the magnetic jazz pickups becomes a tone monter๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ..
  18. Stunning bass here.GLWTS๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  19. Now ยฃ320 shipped!! Total Bargain for a bass of this quality๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  20. https://www.yumpuhttps://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/42841449/brian-b2-bill-lewington-ltd.com/en/document/read/42841449/brian-b2-bill-lewington-ltd I found this old review by Stuart Clayton in Bassist magazine when I bought my first Dean B2, new direct from Bill Lewington at the the time..because of the fantastic review Stuart gave it!! I am open to offers for this great bass. It needs to sell and find a good home, It's a real players bass.I would personally say though, that it is a "slappers delight!!!" in the bass terms๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
  21. Dean B2 Bromberg signature 4 string..FOR SALE ONlY Now only ยฃ320 shipped..Bargain of bargains this!! Give away at this price, for this quality!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘ Reluctantly putting this wonderful bass up for sale..This is the second one of these I have owned after regretting selling the first one!! Why? I am funding a new bass and needs must..These are super rare. I believe because owners find them to good and versatile. I have not seen one for sale in the open market for 5 years!! I have been fortunate in my past to have owned a Peavey B Quad, which this bass is based upon, and bar for the Modulus neck the Dean wins the race hands down in my humble opinion, much more versatile!! Amber burst finish, Brass nut 1.5 inch, weight 8.7lbs, 34 scale, Grover tuners, Dean Jazz pickups, fishman bridge with Piezo saddles, Abalone B2 on the 12th fret, 24 frets all fully accessible due to deep cutaways on the bass. Basswood body, Beautiful flame maple top and peghead veneer,maple neck with walnut stringers and rosewood fingerboard. Controls, considerably easier to use than to look at. lol.By pickups front to back. Master Volume, Piezo Volume, selector switch, magnetic only/Magnetic and Piezo/Piezo..Back knobs. Stacked lower Bass cut/boost top treble cut/ boost. Middle knob..stacked knob at front, top volume bridge pickup lower volume neck pickup..This makes the bass capable of literally all styles of playing..Oh and yes really cuts into the mix.. A true joy to play jazz style neck.. Overall excellent condition for a 12 year old bass, a few dings, nothing major. neck pristine.Battery box latch works fine but plastic clasp chewed.. These basses new were ยฃ700-ยฃ800 new..and rightly so..This is anything but a low end budget bass, Think very top of the range Ibanez..I am asking ยฃ400 but in reality as they donk come up at all. I don't honestly know..I need to sell so don't be shy make me an offer.I can but say yes or no?๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘ Will ship to mainland UK for ยฃ20 Any questions, please ask. Cheers.

  23. Nick Drake.. The Album, 5 leaves left.. Some fantastic double bass playing by bass legend Danny Thompson!!! Just beautifu, ltuneful and melodic songs..Which I literally have not heard in years.. BRILLIANT. ala Paul Whitehouse in the fast show!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  24. Ironically enough Le Fay pickups in the Bassline Buster I'm selling, certainly fantastic pickups๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
