    So.much.want.

    Harder to say no to an offer in person I find. If you're going to try it out maybe mention you know it's been advertised for a while. It's a buyers market so offer what you're willing to and be prepared to walk away. It's still a bit rich at that price, limited edition or not. It'd be that price used from Bass Direct or BassBros.

    They may state that they're firm at 1.6k, but it was originally listed for more so there may still be wiggle room - been watching that one myself! You'd from Norn Iron too Steve?

    Oooh... So tempted... And only up the road a bit...

    I remember discussing this bass with somebody in the Gallery workshop (can't recall the chaps name, but it wasn't Martin) shortly after it was built. It was commissioned by a guy who was a helicopter pilot. He wanted the maximum string tension Martin could possibly give him. I'm sure there was more information imparted at the time but that's all I can recall.

    That looks mighty! If you decide you're going to do a run I might be interested!

    Remember it. The seemingly monthly picture of the Wall of Wals in Guitarist magazine was always worth a drool! They had an early association with Jon Shuker too as I recall...

    Saw this on you IG earlier. Sounds top notch! Got me interested but need to make room... have WAY too many basses laying around!

    I've been considering doing something similar with my Vintage Tony Butler signature P for a LONG time...

    The MXR Bass Envelope Filter is a band-pass filter, I think most bass synth sounds are based around a low-pass filter. In my limited experience you have to play an octave pedal a bit. Requires a technique adjustment. Ian Martin Alison has done an excellent video on this.

    Terrible news...

    New Sire V6 and P6 models coming (also listed on Andertons). £529 for 4 string, £609 for 5 string. 5 string V6 in Ocean Turquoise could be interesting...

    Seek and Destroy by Metallica. Not the first riff I learned - that was Another One Bites the Dust - but I'd just been plunking along on various other bits and pieces until getting together with a few school friends to form a band and the first song we learned was Seek and Destroy. Looking back I think we could have started on something easier!

    Rex and Billy Sheehan as previously said... Ashdown now doing a Rex Rootmaster I see...

    ACG. Here's mine, although it's had a P-Retro added since this pic. May be hitting the marketplace soon... Desperately need to cull the herd!

    That's one I wish I'd bought! Played it in The Bass Gallery a number of years ago. One of the top 3 basses I've ever laid my hands on. Met our dear departed colleague Flanker that day and played it through his Thunderfunk amp and an Epifani 4x10... Glorious...

    Any thoughts?

    Yeah, who needs intonation...

    One of the best drives you can get. Should be much more popular. Good luck with your sale. Surprised it's still here to be honest!

    I remember seeing ads for these and the rest of the Fenix line, possibly in Guitarist magazine, WAY back.

    I've given this some thought too. With regards to the d-roc you can change the pickup selector - they're freely available from bass direct. Is there much difference in the actual placement of the pickups? You can swap mid and front pickups around to change the available options from musician-esque to jazz-esque (see videos on YouTube). As for fret access, is there much need to be up the REALLY dusty end?

    Oh, and if you can find an MTD Heir or Kingston they're also worth a shout...
  25. Bigwan
    Wow! You don't see many of these. Good luck with your sale.
