[quote name='Musicman20' post='1342790' date='Aug 17 2011, 09:49 AM']Is the anniversary case what originally came with it?[/quote] I'm guessing so! The date adds up. Anyway Its on hold. Been busy with uni UCAS Uni etc etc!!! -
[quote name='Johnston' post='1335421' date='Aug 10 2011, 06:21 PM']Look at it this way. With things like Sportscars and helicopters it's fairly normal for someone to put in an early order before they even have went into production then sell it. Usually because someone comes along and is willing to pay a premium not to go onto the back of a waiting list. I guess Custom shop stuff would run a similar theory. I guess works a bit like. It costs £2000 but has a 12 month waiting list. Some nice Bob says I'll have one and orders a fairly basic run of the line down the middle spec. When he gets it he advertises it. He gets it meanwhile Paul says I want a Custom shop. Oh sh*t I can't be arsed waiting a year. Oh hold on there's one there I can have now at only £2500 Plus you have the advantage of paying when the exchange rate is in your favour and selling when it doesn't work out so good so it looks a better deal to a prospective buyer. .[/quote] Agh right I get it now! Thanks for the info
-
just a bit odd, thats all. surely theres no reason why someone would get fender to make them a custom bass and then sell it before playing it. i mean it would have costed loads! what are grey imports?
-
as well as that, ive never known anyone wanted to buy a bass! ahaha (on bass chat)
-
Thanks man! as its such a good example, ide say in the region of £880. just so i can get a sterling or stingray! but i can move around on the price! but as you can understand i dont want to pay out any of my own money to trade it for a sterling/stingray
-
Oh yeah I suppose it is! Why is the bridge so far forward though?! Bit of an uninspiring eBay ad for such an expensive bass. Why would someone sell a new custom guitar though?

[quote name='mikegatward' post='1334667' date='Aug 10 2011, 10:46 AM']I like ! You don't seem to have listed a straight sale price. I do have a top condition 2EQ stingray in honeyburst with rosewood neck if that was of interest[/quote] Sounds buatifull!

[quote name='cocco' post='1334277' date='Aug 9 2011, 10:02 PM']This used to be mine, it's a blinder of a bass! I shifted it for the same reason it's being shifted now. Its a killer bass, if you like that sort of thing [/quote] Playing it is awesome fun too! its the best bass i have tbh, but that dont really mean anything when you prefer the look of a stingray haha i did my grade 8 on it!!!! and got 19/20 on all three pieces! so it have good luck in the basswood grain!

The pictures say it all.... •No fret ware •Equipped with fresh Rotosound swings •Sapphire Black (metallic flawless finish) •Beautiful leather case 30th anniversary! •wonderful low action! (see pictures) •Properly set up! the nut is cut correctly too... •limitless tonal options from 18v pre •Actually not that ugly for a bongo... •I look after my gear and take pride in owning such expensive a lovely instruments to its very well looked after. WHY AM I MOVING IT ON?! I really miss the stingray... and always wanted a sterling! so i trade with a similar condition of the two would be wonderful. if yours is a good runner, but a little tatty (and or no OHC) i would expect cash my way. Okay... now for the pictures. Oh and if your involved in the looting/rioting your not allowed it.

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1325115' date='Aug 3 2011, 12:32 AM']I disagree that there's no such thing as a better compressor, compressors should be inaudible while they do their job, bad compressors always sound very obvious whereas a good one will be more subtle. You could argue that some people want to use their compressor as an effect rather than for it's intended purpose but that's a whole different ball game. Also saying that a compressor is an automated volume knob is vastly over simplifying. The way that it interacts with frequencies, especially on multi band compressors, can be very versatile, not to mention the attack and threshold controls. It does work by changing your volumes, but the way they do it means it's not that simple.[/quote] I know what I'm talking about. Ive studied music production for two years and work on logic all day everyday. I also know what a multiple band compresser is. I wanted to share some insight in a simply way Cheers
