1995 Musicman Stingray - Natural/Maple! Traded!
andydye replied to Me And My Bass's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1371465367' post='2114088'] Hey, I was pricing up a ACG build last week! Lovely basses . . And your six string is beautiful! Unfortunately I don't think I can put in enough cash to even up the deal on it for us. I prob have £150/200 I can put to a deal. Stunning bass though, and exactly what I would be after! [/quote] Thanks matey, Alan's basses are beautiful and sturdy and sound amazing, they come highly recommended by many on here too! No prob about the trade matey, hope it sells soon for ya -
yet another super speedy delivery of top quality cables, once again, obbm is a top chap and his cables are superb!

3 Things That Inspired You To Play Bass?
andydye replied to Chiliwailer's topic in General Discussion
1) the band needed a bass player; 2) my best mate was the drummer; 3) I didn't play but was better than the guy auditioning. -

[s]Somehow (via a variety of trades and swaps) I've managed to end up with a pair of very lovely but surprisingly different feeling and sounding Ibanez Blazer basses I didn't think I'd be doing this so soon after getting my mitts on them but life happens dunnit!? [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157633277713595/[/media] [s]The '80 is fretted (as most blazers were) and has a really rather punchy tone even with the flats on, I'd prefer it to any p-bass I've ever tried without question! Comes with a new-ish and fairly nicely padded Fender gig bag. Nut width = 41mm (1 5/8") Weight = approx 4kg / 9lb[/s] [b]SOLD[/b] The '81 is a fretless, a factory fretless, I don't think many were made (so this would be a rarity maybe?), the tone is very sweet, super vintage p with a lovely gentle mwah/swell if you linger on a note much like any fretless p. Comes with a similar aged hardcase that looks the part and all the clasps function but are getting a bit loose. Nut width = 40mm (just over 1 1/2") Weight = just over 4kg / 9lb [s]Both are [/s]really solidly made and while not especially light, doesn't feel heavy to me when worn. Price, [s]£350[/s] £300 [s]each[/s] inc UK shipping, local collection / meet up within about an hours drive of Sheffield is also an option.[/s]

[quote name='Norm' timestamp='1370960794' post='2107969'] I dwelt too long thinking about that fretless blazer, by the time I'd made up my mind it had gone! Please pm me if you ever want to sell it? ;-) Cheers, Norm [/quote] No prob matey, consider yourself first in the hypothetical queue -

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1370897870' post='2107244'] You have hit the Mother-load, there! The later Blazer is a Cracker - the 1980 one, is a "A Sleeper!" These "Made for one year" basses are WAY better than many, at ten time the cost. I've got two of them. [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/aria-twins-and-pair-of-blazers.html"]http://flatericbassa...of-blazers.html[/url] . . . . and yes, you do need two! [/quote] Beautiful basses mate! They look in stunning nick too! A BL700-NT and a BL700-TV, niiiice -

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1370896074' post='2107188'] Guitarists... put a capo on say the 3rd fret and play D shape, you're not playing a bloody D chord!!!!!! That's all. [/quote] They are playing an 'f'-ing d-shape though, it's just transposed 3 semitones up for capo3...

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1370939149' post='2107568'] Beautiful .... slightly jealous here. [/quote] It's just possible that I may have to sell one or both to finance an incoming ACG but I'll be holding off as long as possible... -

[quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1370873457' post='2106651'] This is a lush bass. Andy brought it 'round mine one day. It plays fantastically and just has so many tones available. Andy is a top chap as well so deal with confidence. Good luck with the sale. [/quote] [quote name='mikekaperys' timestamp='1370883941' post='2106869'] Oh my god.. that's beautiful! [/quote] Thanks for the kind words guys, it really is a delicious piece of work!

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1370885964' post='2106928'] I ended up leaving the roundwounds on the G&L, they sound so funky [/quote] Haha, I try to let each bass decide what strings best suit it
