  1. It's a '96/7 MGF, British racing green with a lot of miles. Had new clutch & uprated freelander head gasket as well (the expensive bits!) in the last few hundred miles. Relatively cheap insurance for a really fun car! I'll add pictures if you're even mildly interested!
  2. [quote name='josh3184' post='385238' date='Jan 19 2009, 06:33 PM']yeah, just chuck in about a grand your end and it'll be sorted [/quote] I'll give you a car. I really would! 2 seater convertable too, loadsa fun
  3. Thanks for understanding Andy, next time I respond to a wanted ad I'll give it more consideration! Josh, if you could leave it on the list for now that'd be great, I'd still like to hear some more trade offers. However I don't think yours will be beat! Would you consider a p/x with your new Stingray?!
  4. Sorry to be such a pain with the $$; I was hoping to replace it with something better, and now having given it some thought the only things I would consider are Fenders, Ricks, Custom / High-end Warwicks and Stingrays. Josh's Ray would be first on my list, but on paper it's an equateable bass.. The $$ is actually more flexible so I'd want to A/B the basses next to eachother before making a decision! The jabbering above is irrelivant anyway as sensibility prevailed and I went and bought a new car.. Come the 25th of the month and I should be in the market again though, so I'll edit my original post.
  5. Not on ebay as far as I know, but noticed a nice righty neck for sale at a good price tucked away on a lefty forum: [url="http://www.leftybassist.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=563"]http://www.leftybassist.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=563[/url]
  6. [quote name='josh3184' post='375670' date='Jan 9 2009, 09:42 PM']just so everyone is aware I'm dropping the price of my Zoot to £800 to encourage a sale. Trades still looked at- especially Warwick $$'s [/quote] Andy is keen as mustard mate, just got to find a replacement for the $$ at a relative price! Buy your MM for £570?!
  7. Some really nice basses here guys, tho nothing that yet fits my needs.. Apart from maybe the not-for-sale butchered Ric in Steve's av.. Are you the owner Steve? It's quite a 'celebribass' on the Ric forums. Do we have any more for any more? Specifically Stingrays, Rics, Warwicks, maybe Wal?
  8. A lefty '82 Vigier has just appeared on leftybass.com
  9. [quote name='metaltime' post='372840' date='Jan 7 2009, 10:51 AM']Maybe we should make a lefty porn thread and put all our basses in what do people think?[/quote] I'd contribute!
  10. [quote name='josh3184' post='372660' date='Jan 7 2009, 12:30 AM']I'd have thought it'd be fine- if you can navigate to it outside of this site by yourself, why would there be issues with us posting a link here? Only issue I could think of is posting an ad from somewhere you have to be a member to see it. I'd imagine if we keep it to links then there can't really be an issue.[/quote] I thought so too.. Mods can remove if that's not the case I suppose here's some more for the list Josh!

Where in Scotland are you located?
  11. [quote name='metaltime' post='372267' date='Jan 6 2009, 06:19 PM']We could also use this space for lefty ebay links and deals that people see. For example the $$ Josh saw or Biggsy pointing us towards that 6 string on the warwick forums. I realise there is already a place for that on basschat but the lefty ones are hard to find in the sea of righty ones[/quote] Another vote for this too, are there any issues with posting other people's ad's? Public domain and all that?
  12. [quote name='josh3184' post='372514' date='Jan 6 2009, 10:19 PM']I'm back! Glad how this has been developing this eve, will update soon! If anyone has any suggestions then feel free by all means! Not sure how I'd enable you to change the first post tho Biggsy... Suggestions Mods? I'm happy to maintain if needs be, I'm on most nights.[/quote] Very wise indeed! I'll just message you with any updates, if enough of us do we can keep this a very useful thread!
  13. There's quite a pool of lefties for sale at www.leftybassist.com, I joined a few days ago and seems a friendly place. LeftyBass.com has quite a good turnaround too. It'd be good if we could update the original post with all applicable links as they arise, and disappear.. Josh I'd be happy to help maintain?
  14. [quote name='josh3184' post='372259' date='Jan 6 2009, 06:10 PM']I reckon we can get a really tight knit lefty group if this kicks off you know, we can gang up on people and everything [/quote] The 'Left Hand Gang' sounds a bit wrong..
  15. [quote name='metaltime' post='372246' date='Jan 6 2009, 05:53 PM']what a weird day normally there is like no lefties available but today everythings gone mad. I am PMing Kiwi to see if he will sticky this if it takes off. I think its a good idea.[/quote] +1, and not just cuz Josh gave me some cudos! It's arisen out of a need!
  16. [quote name='josh3184' post='372235' date='Jan 6 2009, 05:44 PM']I get the feeling this might be quite fun, especially having not seen a lefty bass for sale other than mine for around two months. Last one I remember was a Sandberg for trade by MXM if I recall correctly, but maybe I'm senile.[/quote] There was a student fella selling a CIJ P-Bass too, can't remember who though.. Edit: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=31498&hl=left"]Lemoley[/url]

  19. Great work so far, you've got so much done since the start of December! Puts my 6-months-to-date project to shame!

  21. If it's not been called already, I'd like to buy this! (PM'd!)
  22. Crazy. Jake is forgiven, and BC is the bad guy. What a joke.
  23. [quote name='noelk27' post='338440' date='Nov 27 2008, 02:22 PM']There's a little test you can do to see which leg is dominant ... Stand against a wall, with your heels touching the wall. Try to relax, and let your mind clear. Then, take a step away from the wall. The leg you use is your dominant leg. You might find that this is not the same side as your dominant arm. (I'm right/left - right arm/left leg.) Some things we learn by example, some things by mirroring, and others as a result of our dominant attributes. But, as to which has the biggest influence, I've no idea.[/quote] Just a nature/nurture kind of thing? How disappointing. I thought it might be down to sides of the brain, and I was some kind of genius flitting between both abnormally. Clearly I was just grasping at straws!
  24. I'd love to understand a bit more about this kind of thing.. I write with my left hand, When I play football, I'm very right footed, Golf I play right handed, Cricket I bat righty and bowl lefty In tennis I don't have a backhand () Snooker and pool I'm lefty, (but have taught myself to play adequately right handed to secretly amuse my team-mates,) Musically I learnt to play the violin the proper way around, but always had problems with my bowing arm. After binning that and taking up the guitar I found it much easier lefty. However, after years of picking up friends right handed guitars I can play them without any thought now, just left handed and 'upside down'. Drums cause me problems; My left hand wants to play the hi-hat, and my right foot wants to control the kick. So I can either play a lefty kit and have really poor timing on the kick, or a righty kit and losing time on the hats. I could play a righty kit open handed, but it makes fills really hard as I naturally lead with my left. Good job I'm not a drummer! Bass, I'm simply lefty.
  25. Mine will be finished very soon! Just got to hang a few doors and lay the carpet It's in Somersham, Cambridgeshire (PE28 3HJ), which might be a bit of a treck for your mate from Manchester but close to equidistant between you and Swindon. If the location works in any way let me know and I'll PM you specific details, but in short it's inexpensive, large, well kitted out and will be acoustically treated
