  1. Zen can't do it, they say sorry it outside our shipping zone to get it to their Warehouse i'll keep an eye on the Japanese market to see if one pops up with the sites they support. Let see if Nafiri will do surface shipping from either their reverb shop or their own site
  2. to the question @Mokl asked, for me it would be better body/neck woods (basswood vs mahogany / plain rock maple vs flame roasted & rounded (Hemispherical) fret ends + ice pickguard....for less money (if you can find someone who will do land/sea shipping....) i'll see if its possible to get one sent to zenmarkets redistro service as land/sea from japan>UK is about £40 atm..... Edit: pinged Zenmarket...but they are on new years holiday for 5 days & pinged Nafiri via reverb to ask about UPS surface shipping, no way am i paying DHL £200 for air...total rip off
  3. I agree the 5 in Metallic Blue looks great, spacing looks a little tiger tight (like less than 16mm!) but seems like the board has space to take it out a little with a new bridge/saddles/nut Fairdeal seem to be the only UK stockist for this brand atm (i read GG didn't renew the deal that had as distro) they have some of their headless 4's in (but no 5's) might be worth pinging FD to see if they'll be carrying these ray copies at some point in 2026 ?
  4. im about to start a new "Wing/Miezo" mini type 5 string build and i think this EMG would be a nice match for it and offer a few more tone options, Fire me your details id be happy to take it @ £60 + a few £ for postage. Cheers Gizmo yes i know it's been a while since i used/logged in here but i've felt "the urge" of late to get back into bass...
  5. BUMP....Down to £175 before it goes on evilbay this weekend!

  16. Hey guys Got to move a few item to make space so here's a Roland Cube 30 bass amp that's pretty much "As New" Only had a few hour play since i got it a few years back (id say 6 hours tops)brought it for some low volume jamming with a mate who only plays acoustic guitar,he's long since moved away and it been sat in the corner un-used for a while now so as im under order to "get rid of some stuff" & its not getting used its gotta go...... Looking for £100 + what ever del might be (unless you want to come pick it up?) More info at Roland.co.uk [url="http://www.roland.co.uk/products/productdetails.aspx?p=553&c=278"]http://www.roland.co...spx?p=553&c=278[/url] (might look a bit shiny in the pics as i had just given it a dust/wipe over,also this is from a Pet/Smoke/child free home) Pics https//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kJmgc-CKcyg/T5gKJW3BP2I/AAAAAAAAAJg/GzcKByk9_5Q/s1162/cube_1.jpg https//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-qKJOzR60TwM/T5gKKq2yM5I/AAAAAAAAAJo/ujwkcrBid9o/s1162/cube_2.jpg Laters Steve
  17. Hey Jerry Just fired you a PM please let me know what you need to know Cheers steve
  18. <p>Hey guys [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1335335051' post='1629309'] what does it weigh please? [/quote] My Scales says its bang on 9.0 lbs Body as i recall from the SX/Rondo specs is solid alder,also im guessing the replacement tuners add a little to the stock weight which was reported as 8.5 lbs Cheers Steve
  19. Hey Guys Brought this a few years back from RussFM here on BC as at the time i had a mild hankering for some thing a little more trade shape/tone wise & while its a very nice bass i haven't really played it much since i got it and i rather it get passed on than just sit in the case (im also under orders to "get rid of some of that stuff......") Upgrades to this SX include: Replacement Goth Tuners and Wizard 64 Pups (both bridge and neck) & Faker jazz bass decal replacing the SX logo on the headstock These upgrades where done before i got it,the bridge had also been replaced at sometime but RussFM had swapped it back out to a standard bent jazz bridge before i got hold of it. I do have a Schaller 4-String Roller Bass Bridge kicking about somewhere that i was going to put on it but i never got around to fitting it (would sell the bass with for an extra £30) Theres a small dig in the body edge (check out the pics below)and a few light marks but over all its in great condition,as i said its a great bass but its just not getting used atm Looking for £140 + Del without the Schaller or £170 + Del with the Schaller OR maybe a straight swap for a 7 string Guitar! (needs to be a 7 string as i have enough 6 stringers and basses) IF your going to PM me plz reply here first so that ppl can see that you might have dibbs Heres a few pics Any ?'s let me know Cheers steve
  20. Pm's Reply'ed too & On Hold Soz alinbassplayer Pm's got to me first via email!,but i'll let you know if the other guys don't go for it Cheers steve
  21. Just like Jam,Opeth/PT (and pink floyd) were the bands that made me want to pick up the guitar,after playing bass for nearly 20 years i was feeling a little bass'ed out and need'ed a break from it,so i decide to buy a few guitars & spend a bit of quality time on it,now after nearly 2 years spent with a 90% of my playing time on a guitar instead of a bass i have a new found respect for both instruments. Im not saying that you cant learn all you need to know about harmony and melody on just the bass but for myself (just like Hobbayne)i found things to become much clearer after playing guitar for a little while,it also got my fingers out of there bass pattern rutts,im not saying that i now play bass like a guitarist but i no longer play guitar like a bassist if that make sense,& anyone who thinks your betraying what it means to be a bass player just because you picked up a guitar for a while really hasn't got a clue.
  22. [quote name='Skezza' timestamp='1329848646' post='1548521'] Im in stafford just up the M6 skez [/quote] Hey Skezza Cool If your interested in popping around or you want a few better pics or more info just PM me and let me knowCheerssteve
