[quote name='ateyercheese' timestamp='1373369995' post='2136706'] Aw man, if only! Too many plans this year to part with that much cash. Unless you want a Kawasaki ER6f? [/quote] sorry bud, while I'd kinda like a bike my wife won't allow it. I can heartily recommend ACG though, this one's heading back up that way for Alan to sell on my behalf and I'm having one of his other ones that's a 5 string, they're so good!

[quote name='mikegatward' timestamp='1373359449' post='2136547'] I'd prefer a sale Andy but I wouldn't rule out a trade. Your Ibby's look nice enough. I guess in these hard times, it's still early days for my ad [/quote] No prob matey, totally understand, my offer stands as long as I've still got 'em. In the meantime, glwts

one last push for this morning at £1400 (cash) before I p/x it...anyone?

[quote name='Amafi' timestamp='1373207759' post='2134682'] As an owner of an Ibanez Blazer (20+ years) I can testify to the quality of these instruments. The sound I get from my Blazer through any amp is amazing, a massive, punchy, deep tone. I'll never part with mine, not just for sentimental reasons, but because it IS that good. Have an Blazer loving bump [/quote] Thanks matey!

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1373211314' post='2134741'] It sure is! [/quote] Wish I had the dosh matey!

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1373191764' post='2134449'] My old P Bass is 'the one' Andy. It's taken me a long time to realise. The search for a decent backup is the problem [/quote] Am more than happy for my fretted blazer to be your backup matey?

Matey you're searching hard for 'the one' at the moment aren't you! Pretty bass bump too

Don't fancy a trade for my pair of ibby blazers by any chance?

Stunning!

Serial number D80.... makes it April 1980

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1372775199' post='2129779'] With regret i have had to back out of a trade deal for this bass. However, this was purley based on my inability to play bass to the standard required! This is a gorgeous looking instrument and i cant imagine you will find this kind of quality in a bass built by anyone for anything like this price! If it had 5 strings it would be mine, although i do not think the owner would part with it either.... BUMP [/quote] It's a shame matey, I reckon you'd have loved the extra sonic girth to be had from the extra string, a low b is a beautiful thing as is a high c, I just can't do both at once, I may need 2 5 strings once b-g and one e-c, yes I think that's the way forward for me, more basses

[quote name='Beneath It All' timestamp='1372782686' post='2129935'] .............Cheers! I should have asked 'Is this model recommended for E to C, B to G, or either'. [/quote] I figured you knew about set ups n nut alterations n wotnot as you've been playing for longer than I've been alive [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1372788344' post='2130046'] I will check when i am next at home but i would think that the nut will accomodate BEADG without modification, i believe all Wood and Tronics 33 inchers are shipped EADGC unless you request otherwise as Enrico recommends it, however i have seen many a BEADG. Of course, intonation and possible truss rod adjustments would be necessary, but i doubt you would need to touch the nut But as i say, i have a .130 string at home so i shall try it on later this week! and indeed i am from sunny Leamington Spa. [/quote] I ws just looking at this photo of yours showing the headstock and nut and it doesn't look like there's much wriggle room in that slot for a wider string in there...

[quote name='Beneath It All' timestamp='1372777379' post='2129827'] Hi..Is this specifically for E to C stringing? Which far-away Galaxy are you from? [/quote] From the pics it has a brass nut cut specifically for those gauges so could be modified but with quite a bit of faff ...and I believe he's from the Leamington Spa galaxy

someone buy this piece of loveliness! I've never fancied a W&T bass before this one and I can't afford it

any trades? Pair of lovely '80 fretted & '81 fretless Ibanez blazers maybe?
