  1. [quote name='Weird War' post='579579' date='Aug 24 2009, 09:27 PM']Very nice indeed: with that colour, pickguard and maple neck you better be funky boy, that's one PIMP of a bass. Got any bigger photos?[/quote] Put a bit slap in a punk track with this bass once! Does that make me a funky boy? Try this gallery link: [url="http://img89.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=p1010800q.jpg"]http://img89.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=p1010800q.jpg[/url] My camera is crap but you get the idea...
  2. Thinking about moving on my trusty Stingray that has served me well but not getting a look in after purchasing a Sandberg PM4. It's a slab body and dated 83. All the electronics are original but the bridge has been upgraded to a Schaller a some point a long time ago. There are the usual amount of dings and belt scratches that you would expect to find on an old, used bass but no cracks or splits. The neck is from a Sabre and is dated 80 on the end of it. I have no idea where the original Stingray neck is or what happened to it but it fits snuggly and was professionally done. The laquer has worn off the back of the neck with playing and has it's fair share of "mojo" aswell as the body. Had a refret and the nut replaced a couple of months ago when I was concerned about a small hump in the neck. The luthier told me it was nothing serious and the frets were level with no dead spots. It has a hipshot dtuner, standard gauge Ernieball strings and a padded gigbag. Not quite sure how to price this as it's a bit wierd. All the parts are genuine,stamped USA components and pre EB. It sounds great and can be heard at www.acdc-volts.com. Also used on the Threats album "God is Not With us Today" Some opinions of a fair price would be welcomed For trades I would be interested in either a decent 5 string or fretless 4. I live in Edinburgh if anyone wants to try it out and can post in an old but functional hardcase. Thanks for looking!! Dave ,
  3. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='566488' date='Aug 12 2009, 08:31 AM']With all this relic'ing going on, why do you never see the most common bit of damage you'd get back in the day - the cigarette burn on the headstock behind the E string? It's a really easy one to reproduce, and every fag burn is truly authentic, too. Just saying ...[/quote] The relic'ed Sandberg California basses have the fag burn on the headstock. Some poor guy in Germany must have to smoke tabs all day and destroy perfectly good bass guitars for a living!
  4. Bought a mint condition,Sandberg pm from Rich who is a complete gent of a man! Was dubious about sending off my hardearned to a complete stranger but after a couple of chats on the phone he was obviously a trustworthy guy. Both he and his lovely missus couldn't have been more helpful. If your thinking about buying anything from Rich I would recommend him highly!! Had bad experience on this forum before so this deal has rekindled my faith in "The Spirit of Basschat" Thanks again mate and keep intouch! Davetbass
  5. [quote name='haimesy' post='307307' date='Oct 15 2008, 07:17 PM']Hope thats a good thing..thanks for your comments .[/quote] A guy I know called Ross has a telecaster built by wolfie. Was he the guitar tech at sound control?
  6. I`ll take a ticket. Can I have pay-pal details please? If not an addy will do and I`ll send you a scottish fiver. It`s only worth 2 pounds in real money
  7. Could always experiment with a few different types of pick till you find one that`s comfy! I`ve always used white sharkfins for guitar and bass.
  8. Set of Rotosound medium scale roundwound strings. Standard gauge 40 to 90. £12 posted. P.s. These dont fit a Jazz and only a complete idiot would buy these strings for a jazz!....ahem!
  9. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='209372' date='May 30 2008, 09:05 AM']No problems. I'll let you know as soon as I have the details. Give me a few days to get things sorted.[/quote] Dont you..... forget about me....(simple minds)
  10. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='208563' date='May 29 2008, 01:07 AM']Its an earlyish Celebrity - so yeah, it says Ovation on the headstock. I can probably Amtrak it to you if you are interested - but I'd have to get a quote... and a suitable box from somewhere![/quote] That sounds great! Gies a shout when you get a quote and we`ll take it from there? My wife owns our only acoustic so it would be nice to get my own one Dave
  11. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='207325' date='May 27 2008, 04:03 PM']Thud![/quote] Hello I`m after a decent acoustic... Does it say Ovation on the headstock? Would you be able to post? Cheers Dave
  12. [quote name='BassManKev' post='206946' date='May 26 2008, 11:28 PM']indeed you did pay over the odds in the current market, specailly with that guy in the other forum almost buying one for £475 or sumit at local guitar shop[/quote] Still £300 cheaper than retail and in mint condition. Beautiful neck...much better quality than the new one I sold last year. If I was looking for another 3eq Stingray I`d hang out for one like yours and pay the odds!!
  13. [quote name='BassManKev' post='205448' date='May 24 2008, 11:04 AM']if you paid by paypal you WILL get a refund whether he likes it or not, item is not as describe, and so breaches ebay's policies[/quote] If the guy isn`t forthcoming with a refund, open a dispute with paypal as soon as possible. This will freeze his account and stop him from taking the money out! Paypal is your best bet as ebay dont really give a f%$k as long as they`re raking in the cash!!
  14. [quote name='eubassix' post='197229' date='May 12 2008, 03:40 PM']Thanks - agree (!). Reduced to £65 incl.[/quote] PM`d Dave.
  15. The guy pulled the listing with an hour go saying that there were 25 watchers and no bids!! Email him with sensible offers!! Does that strike anyone else as a bit fishy? Surely he must know that most bids will come in the last few minutes or is it deliberate ruse to create a transaction outwith ebay? Bugger....I wanted that!
  16. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='196149' date='May 10 2008, 06:21 PM']Looking at that pic I assume that bass case wasn't designed for the Blade bass If he slams that shut he'll leave some nasty marks on the headstock [/quote] It looks like a brick wrapped in fuzzy cloth! Will someone please buy this! I dont really need it and I find myself gazing lovingly at the listing everyday!! Musn`t buy......don`t need!........musn`t buy!!......dont..n
  17. Is there any reason WHY someone would stick a JD truss rod cover on a thumb? Does it make it more sought after? Just a thought:) EDIT.....A wee bit pissed!
  18. [quote name='paul, the' post='195000' date='May 8 2008, 09:11 PM']My old teacher has played a Blade for years. I can't remember the tone, but it weighed a tonne(sp?). Rare, and enough so that no one seems to know they exist.[/quote] They`ve been around for years and I`ve only ever played the Strats. Great sound and quality! I`d imagine the basses would be of a similar standard.
  19. For any Blade lovers out there! Started at £200 but some kind person has told the seller of the true value (said through gritted teeth!!) Still a bargain IMO.......

  20. [quote name='Rainbass' post='191458' date='May 4 2008, 08:55 AM']I bought a 5 String T-Bass (with humbucker under the scratchplate) off eBay 2 weeks ago for £460. Lovely bass, great tone, really pleased. Wouldn't have paid £1000 for it![/quote] £460 is a great price for one of these! I had a powder blue 4 string and loved it! Would definately entertain a 5 if it came along at the right price. New aquisition Kev? Need to sell that pbass first mate!!
  21. [quote name='Macko1968' post='191498' date='May 4 2008, 11:16 AM'][url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/De-Ville-Stingray-Bass-guitar-1970s-thru-body-strung_W0QQitemZ130219391560QQihZ003QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/De-Ville-Stingray-Ba...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] It's a late 90s / early 00s cheapo Stingray copy. Love the way the seller implies it's some 30 year old Japanese lawsuit bass but skirts round the fact the electrics seem to be knackered.[/quote] And he`s asking for 21 of your british pounds for it!! What a bastard!!
  22. I opened my case at rehearsal a few years ago to find my wife had cut all my strings!! Reason: I threw out her old b/w portable with a hacksaw for an ariel!!
  23. Cracking looking bass Kev..... If your next bass is more expensive than this one is worth you could always get a job to make up the difference!!
  24. [quote name='David Nimrod' post='174725' date='Apr 11 2008, 05:30 PM']Oh dear, Oh dear... Had a bad day? [/quote] Only joking Dave
