Also, a [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Westone-Quantum-Bass-/170602823959?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item27b8b88117#ht_500wt_951"]Quantum[/url] bass from the same seller. Some one lend me £600 will yer?

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1118632' date='Feb 7 2011, 09:37 AM']Sadly it is the same one - a pity the seller chose to [s]flip it[/s] sell it on Ebay rather than here. Lovely bass, I've always fancied trying a p/p arrangement. Jon.[/quote] You know, if it was the one sold on here, he's just lost out cos it only went for £134 - bargainish!

Good price for a [url="http://essex.gumtree.com/essex/45/73861445.html"]Thunder 1A[/url] in London Gumtree - £65! Someone snap this up! (It's not mine, honest!)

Does anyone know anything about Oakland basses? One [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/80s-Oakland-Fretless-Bass-Japan-Matsumoku-/250772267010?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a63312002#ht_500wt_951"]here[/url] for sale.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='1124516' date='Feb 11 2011, 11:41 PM']The listing says that they will sell to the highest bidder. I bet they don't. If I was evil,I'd suggest that multiple people over a period of time all make exactly the same offer (to the exact penny) for it. But I won't.[/quote] Let's all make offers of £34.56...... He has a Westbury guitar for sale at an even more ridiculous price too.

[url="http://miltonkeynes.gumtree.com/miltonkeynes/32/73082832.html"]Aria Pro II [/url]- Nice fretless Cardinal series bass Going pretty cheap on gumtree - I'd have it myself if hadn't just bought a fretless. EDIT: I mean gumtree not ebay!

Let me have it for £90!!!! hehehe

Jap - but not Crap! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Ibanez-Musician-MC888-Bean-/140508137461?pt=Guitar&hash=item20b6f007f5#ht_690wt_936"]Ibanez MC888[/url] Looks quite different to the usual Musicians, really light as well!

[quote name='Phil Starr' post='1116203' date='Feb 5 2011, 08:41 AM']There seems to be something about bass players! If this thread is around long you'll get Stevie, Lawrence, Alex and BFM joining in. What do you want the 8" speaker for? Are you building an alternative to your 15 or wanting something to complement it? This could affect your choice of speaker.[/quote] I have a delta bass 300 combo which uses 2x8" speakers, and I have added a 15" onto it. One of the 8" has gone so I was going to replace/upgrade them. I also have to option of getting a delta bass 4x8 cab to add on as well as/instead of the 15".

Thanks, thanks & thanks! Lots of good advice - this is why I love Basschat!

[quote name='dan670844' post='1115306' date='Feb 4 2011, 02:11 PM']try a shop! Seriously have a look a lean business, celestion used to do some nice 8 inch drivers, also Ashdown do italian made ones they will sell them to you if you ask nicely, they used to put them in the mini 48 superfly 484[/quote] Funny enough I tried a shop and I even tried lean business, but under the 'bass guitar' section, the smallest speaker is 10", hence my asking if p.a speakers were ok

Where can I get decent 8" Speakers from? The smallest I've seen specifically for bass amps is 10", Are P.A. speakers ok to use? Thanks for any advice! Chay

Horrible little runt of a bass from Belgium that I think was on here a couple of months ago. Back up for sale - I love how "I should be asking over £1000"! hahahahahahahaaa [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fretless-bass-/270698577251?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f06e47d63"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fretless-bass-/27069...=item3f06e47d63[/url]

What's [i]restauration[/i]? - Playing it in a restaurant?

Nice collection! If you see - I'm thinking about you by sister sledge on your travels let me know!

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1109278' date='Jan 31 2011, 12:02 PM']I dislike him too, and I have personal reasons for this, met him a couple of times, to do with charity events, but I won't discuss this further here, safe to say that to me he is a ****er and that all that fuzz he did in the 90's to save the amazon forest and the tribes there, was only a facade to attract attention to his stardom like status as it was fashionable at the time just like Bono tried to get into politics and all that. As a bass player I was disappointed seing him live at the height of his career, back in the late 80's at a Police concert in Rome, with a bass strapped on his neck but with a back up bass player playing real basslines, right behind him in the shadows.[/quote] I have to say that I was quite surprised at the amount of mahogany furniture in his dressing room when I was doing the load-ins and outs for The Police Not that surprised though that they asked for a police escort and for 10 miles of the M4 to be closed for them on the way out though.......as if anyone would care!

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='1105490' date='Jan 27 2011, 07:58 PM']Here's a new game for this thread. You post an ebay listing, and other readers have to spot the wildly inaccurate "fact" mentioned in the listing. I'll start: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/bass-guitar-westone-thunder-1-/250763623780?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a62ad3d64"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/bass-guitar-westone-...=item3a62ad3d64[/url][/quote] Mine doesn't have the distortion OR sound knob....

[quote name='bumnote' post='1103538' date='Jan 26 2011, 01:00 PM']I dont remember Graham Gouldman playing anything other than a Ricky but I assume if you collect you get to see him. I doubt hes selling a fake Its a bloody minefield out there, every time I see something that takes my fancy, someone points out a potential problem[/quote] +1 Just email Graham and ask him if he's selling a precision. Easy!

[quote name='Paul S' post='1103306' date='Jan 26 2011, 10:46 AM']It fetched £240 in the end, which I think was excellent value.[/quote] Yes, unforthunately a tad more than I have available at the moment

Top chap! Bought my Yamaha BB300 off of me, excellent communication and speedy quick payment! 's all round.
