  1. [quote name='SammyDamacy' post='519530' date='Jun 20 2009, 07:50 PM']sh*t, if this was fretted I'd swoop that away! THIS IS AN ULTIMATE STEAL! Best of luck with the sale [/quote] It wouldn't cost a lot to have it refretted, at this price you'd still have a bargain.
  2. This is still on today isn't it ?
  3. [quote name='6stringbassist' post='519144' date='Jun 20 2009, 10:53 AM']It's actually very easy to play, I've spent a bit of time on it and consequenty the action is really nice. And the lines are a major help, but you very quickly get used to where the llines are without looking. I'm not a very experienced fretless player. I'll take a couple of photos of the rest of the bass. Posting isn't a problem.[/quote]

  5. I played a 33" five string Wood 'n' tronics bass yesterday, I didn't realise it was 33" until I got home and saw it on the Bassdirect website. A five string is the same as a six string really, (if you see what I mean) it's the low B that's important I guess.
  6. Super sale now on ! I need a quick sale so I can buy something else.
  7. Bump ! If you're interested email is better, I can pick those up on my phone but not basschat PM's. My email is [email protected]
  8. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ....................music shops in Birmingham, waste of time. Jump on train at Warwick and catch the train to London and go to the Gallery, don't bother with Denmark street. A day return to London Marylebone is only £18 on a Saturday.
  9. The string spacing is 18mm, the scale length is 34". It's currently fitted with DR Black beauties, and has a really nice low action.
  10. I guess I've had this for about 4 months, that's quite a long time for me It's in excellent condition, and sounds great. Complete with a padded cover. £395 plus shipping or personal collection is welcome.
  11. I've only had this for a couple of weeks, it's a really nice bass in really excellent condition. I'm told by Jon Shuker that it's about 8 years old. I wanted a fretless 6 string and this came up for sale so I bought it. Then as so often happens something else somes up for sale that I want more. So this will need to go. It has EMG pickups and a Shuker preamp. It was originally fretted but the original owner had the frets removed by Martin Petersen. £600, personal collection preferred but I will post if necessary.
  12. The bass will be expertly set up before you buy it, and they do offer a great after sales service. In my experience they're also open to a bit of haggling on the advertised prices.
  13. [quote name='Jase' post='513269' date='Jun 14 2009, 12:54 PM']Have a look here: [url="http://www.woodwiz.com/epoxy/"]HG Thor[/url] these are amazing![/quote] Thanks ! They do look amazing. I've tried flats and I don't get that growl or mwah sound at all, maybe I need lighter flats but I'm not exactly spolied for choice with it being a 6 string.
  14. I just bought a rather nice Shuker 6 string fretless, it was originally fretted but the original owner had Martin Petersen remove the frets. It has a rosewood fretboard that's starting to get scratched by my roundwound strings. I was reading this the other day about putting a layer of superglue on the board to protect it, I should imagine it'll change the sound a bit too. [url="http://subcontrabassist.com/smf/index.php?topic=367.0"]http://subcontrabassist.com/smf/index.php?topic=367.0[/url] Anyone ever tried it, and how did they do it without getting into a right mess ? Thanks
  15. Anyone have any experience of these ? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_d1600.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_d1600.htm[/url] They look good.
  16. Hi Steve All the above are still for sale. It's one of my many hats, I have about 30 of 'em. John has done some of the work, he's sorted out a small electrical problem, fitted new round string things (replacing newer tear drop ones). He's building a new fretboard at the moment with the Starchild inlays, that'll take a few more weeks. Then he'll have the bass back and fit the new fretboard and give it a total respray. So I guess I'm looking at about 2 months before it's all done. I played the Jaydee tonight with an 8 peice band, we do motown, 70's funk and disco stuff, it sounded amazing and really looks the part.
  17. [quote name='MB1' post='508061' date='Jun 8 2009, 11:08 AM']MB1. ....Is this the same one thats been offered on Ebay without any Pictures? BUMP![/quote] I emailed that guy asking for photos. I had a very badly worded reply telling me how pleased for life I would be if I bought the SC from him. But all went quiet when I asked him if I could try it and pay cash on collection. I just hope no one actually fell for it.
  18. I just had an email from Mo Clifton, seems he has one already built that I can have at the end of June, he's in France at the moment.
  19. I had lessons on DB last year. It's mainly the pronounced U shape of the neck, I'm used to a very flat profille on my basses.
