[quote name='megallica' timestamp='1368721150' post='2080721'] I don't think so but I'd be interested to see them if they do exist - I love early Yamahas.

I don't have direct experience but 5 members of my band were/are at RWCMD and they only have good things to say about it. Loads of work for jazz bassists going in Cardiff too - there's only about 3 on the scene sharing it all between them!

Here it is...

Picked up my Daion Power Mark X-B last night - it's gorgeous! Only had a quick chance to play it when I got back but it feels great with it's asymmetrical neck and the quality is outstanding! I'll take and put up a ton of pics later but here's the eBay listing I got it from for now...

I've only heard of the Iceni Zoot Funkmeister - one of which was for sale on Basschat - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/166494-sold-zoot-iceni-funkmeister-5/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/166494-sold-zoot-iceni-funkmeister-5/[/url]

Just about recovered from this weekend shenanigans... 2 gig on Friday - one of which we had to supply the PA/do our own sound. So Friday afternoon legged it from work to the second venue we were playing, set up PA and kit on my own as the rest of the band were finishing their work later than me, then when that was done, went to venue of first gig, soundchecked, hung about for 20 mins before stage time. We were supporting another band who kindly let us use their gear so we didn't have too much faff. Gig went well, our BBoy fans were there doing there thing. Great sound from the bass rig which is identical to mine so made a note of the settings! When we finished the first gig we had 20 mins to leg it down the road, plug in and line check and start. Just about made it in time but the bar manager insisted we played in the big bay window and the sound was shocking. Windows on all sides and a 30ft high ceiling defeated any attempts to get a decent sound. Anyway, we got paid but we won't be going back there. Saturday night was a Mental Health Fundraiser. Had a bit of a panic as our percussionist had car failure and couldn't make it - only found out an hour before the gig! I tried to get a dep in but the singer went apeshit at having to pay someone (only £40 - £4 each!) and we had a bit of a pregig tantrum - something having only had 3 hours sleep doesn't help! Anyway, venue was packed full of fun dancers and despite some sax mic feedback nonsense we had a great gig, each of us trying to sneak 'Happy Birthday' into our solos as it was the sax player's birthday! Singer happy at the end, everyone else happy but I think we will be doing less gigs infuture but making sure they are quality ones. Ps played through an Orange Bass Terror and an orange 1x10" - sounded ok!

I only see the basses come on eBay maybe 3-4 times a year. Guess who bought the one you linked to?

I found one! ...and I'm picking it up on Sunday

I worked with Dan (in the video) for a few years doing drum workshops at festivals - top guy!

We're doing 3 gigs (and one party) this weekend. Friday 8pm in The Moon club in Womanby Street, Cardiff Friday 9.30pm in Kiwi's Cardiff Saturday 11.30pm in Koko's in aid of The Mental Health Foundation Would be nice to see a basschatter or 2 there!

Edit: Think I was just being a bit stupid

A quick google suggests that people are asking between £150 and £200 and not many people are buying these at that price. So if you want it to sell, you're probably going to have to go down to about £120. IMO of course.

Done - good luck!

Bought a strap from Laurence - no issues, super quick and great comms!

We had a helping hand from a delightful audience member on Saturday... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJKDBS1GyIU&feature=youtu.be[/media]

Would you like another Aria Pro II in a lovely wood finish? I have an SB-R60 that I'm thinking of offloading.
