    An interesting post, this one. Is the bass actually for sale? I've offered the asking price, and provided contact details, and more than one PM, weeks ago, but it's still for sale! Maybe it's a bias against Cumbrians?

    Another bump, in hope of a reply!

    Thanks all for your kind comments. I think it is a real bargain. I forgot to say the fingerboard is coated with superglue, so nice and smooth.

    Another reluctant sale. I absolutely love Paul Rose's work, I've had five of his basses, including this one. Here are the specs: 30" scale Single cut 40mm nut Passive, VVT 2 Artec single coil pickups Individual monorail bridges Marvel straplocks The neck is black walnut The back is slightly spalted swamp ash The top is bubinga, maple, and black walnut It plays beautifully, and I really love it (the bubinga and maple are offcuts from my custom made Prosebass, so I have an odd attachment to it) but the neck is just too slim for my hand (RSI). That, plus I've ordered a fretless Prosebass from Paul! The bass cost me £210 delivered, and I would like that for it (It's had new strings since then). I could ask for more, then be bargained down, but this just cuts to the chase. Details of the build are available on Paul's Funnbass site. Anything I've missed, let me know. Cheers.[attachment=110994:DSCF1151.JPG][attachment=110995:DSCF1152.JPG][attachment=110996:DSCF1153.JPG][attachment=110998:DSCF1154.JPG][attachment=110999:DSCF1155.JPG][attachment=111000:DSCF1156.JPG]

    Bass now sold. Thanks to all for the interest.

    Thanks for the encouragement and bumps!

    Just noticed this. I think I'm very interested! I'm just looking it up online, then I'll get back to you. Any info you have would be great.

    Here for sale is my excellent L2000 Tribute. You all know how good these instruments are. This one is in tip top condition. There are two tiny little dings (pictured). I bought it last year new, but the inspection sticker on the back says it was made in 2009, so it must have been in storage. Everything works as it should, and the flame maple top has an almost 3D effect that's really nice, and the vintage tint on the neck is lovely and warm. My new Prosebass is nearly ready, so this bass unfortunately has to go to pay for it! I don't want to sell it, as it's magnificent, but needs must. I'd like £350 for it, and that comes delivered with it's own hard case, which I think is pretty fair.(I won't therefore be open to haggling!) I'm happy to answer any questions that haven't been covered. Thanks. Sean

    The Thunder balances very well, but the shorter top horn puts the top end of the neck a bit of a stretch away. That's what I found anyway.
  14. Sambrook
    Thanks, forgot to ask as well, how chunky is the neck? I can't handle a very slim jazz style neck, and would need a substantial depth to the neck (L200 style)

    What is the nut width, please?

    Item now sold. Thanks for the interest.

    I'm afraid the preamp came with one set of washers/nuts. Or at least, I've lost the others, if I ever did have them! It's mounted through the body wood on mine. I'm not sure if they can be adapted. Sorry if that's not very helpful

    I've fallen hard for the Acg filter preamp I tried out at the bass show in London, so I've decided to sell my East U-Retro preamp. I paid £200 for it last year, and it's in as new condition. I think on the website it's listed as the 01 Retro. It's fitted to my Prosebass at the moment. If there is serious interest, I'll post some pictures, but it's the same as in the East website I'd like £90 for it, delivered (but without the knobs)

    Tried some wonderful basses at the London Show, but none better than the Acg's. I was blown away by the filter preamp. I've already decided to order a bass from Alan, but I want to put one of his preamps in an existing bass. What I would like to know is how well it works with different pickups (not ACG). Any input from all you wise ACG users would be much appreciated.

    My new Wishbass arrived this morning having been thrown across the Atlantic. Half of the headstock has snapped off, and there is the beginning of a split in the neck laminate. I plan to glue and screw the headstock back together. Just wondering if anybody has any advice on this subject? What glue to use, how long to leave it etc. All input gratefully received![attachment=97589:DSCF1032.JPG][attachment=97590:DSCF1033.JPG][attachment=97591:DSCF1036.JPG]

    Sold a Precision to Pete. He was very quick with payment, good with communication, and helped me with finding how to leave feedback here on the site. I'd be very happy to deal with him again.

    Sorry, sold on Ebay this afternoon.
  23. Sambrook
    Now on Ebay, but I'd rather sell here. Any love for the world class Westone?

    I've been reading posts over your shoulder for a year or more, so I thought I should do the decent thing and introduce myself. I am a very middle-aged man in South Cumbria, and my midlife crisis seems to be the bass! It's cheaper than sports cars, and I never was one for hairy chests and medallions, so it's manageable. I've played in a couple of bands, but it's mostly bedroom noodling. My particular love is the fretless, and coming to grips with that will probably keep me busy for several decades yet! Thanks to all you BCers; you're very generous with info and tips, all very helpful to me. I'll try to add my two pennorth where I can. Cheers.

    Just wanted to add my 2 pennyworth. Both Ebay amd Basschat sales are essentially based on trust, so when someone is untrustworthy, it really grates. But short of finding where the guy lives, going there, and demanding money, what can you do. It's happened to me a time or two, and after your initial anger has subsided a bit, the only healthy thing to do is to put it down to experience, and move on. Don't let him rob your peace of mind.
