  1. This must surely be very rare... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Musicman-Stingray-bass-Left-Handed-/221710168244
  2. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1425844379' post='2711418'] I get how some folk will cycle through a large number of instruments trying different things.... I've done it myself in the past... I don't get how you might order a custom bass, wait months for it to be built and then stick it on ebay a year later - but I guess it keeps the builders in business.... [/quote] Getting a custom made is a tricky business in my experience. Even if you opt for all the specs you think will work or you think you'll like, it's not a precise science, and what looks great on paper doesn't always work - it's nobody's fault, it just might not turn out as you hope it will. I've done it twice in the past, and it wasn't a success on either occassion, but I'm about to do it again...
  3. Not inexpensive, but this must surely be very rare! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Musicman-Stingray-bass-Left-Handed-/221710168244
  4. Another 'reluctant sale'... loads of high-end stuff floating about at the moment... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sei-Jazz-Bass-6-String-/261799656581
  5. That looks like an awful lot of bass for the money! GLWTS.
  6. PM'd you a couple of days ago. Is the bass still for sale? Thanks.
  7. I realise I've left it a bit late, but there's no answer from the organiser's phone no - any idea what price under 14's admission is??
  8. Denis bought my SKC Bogart, and was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Great communication, immediate payment, a really friendly guy to deal with. Buy/sell/trade with confidence.
  9. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1425662104' post='2709563'] I really like that [/quote] I'm only down the road, Gareth... come over and try it - you know you want to! Kettle's on.
  10. Had a go on it yesterday - a very lovely thing, plays beautifully and sounds great! Somebody needs to snap this up...
  11. A sunburst one of these was my main bass for several years back in the 80's - great instruments. GLWTS!
  12. Fantastic bass, fantastic price, especially with the John East too! I have a Skyline DJ5 with a J Retro, and it's every bit as good as any USA Lakland I've played, and I've owned a few... Good luck with the sale.
  13. Lovely. Let me know if you're ever down Woking way, I'd love to try it!
  14. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1424679447' post='2698964'] Trade for a CV 60s P? [/quote] Sorry, I'm not looking for any trades.
  15. Updated details bump...
  16. [quote name='d_g' timestamp='1424359319' post='2695533'] What's the weight please? [/quote] 9 lbs, and sits well on a strap.
  17. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1424333764' post='2695141'] Want this! Got a Peavey GV in red sparkle and this would be an ace addition. Gutted I'm skint [/quote] They certainly would look great together. Make me an offer - I can only say no!
  18. For sale is a SKC Bogart graphite headless 5-string, in beautiful condition. Made in the early 90's, it's one of only a very few 36" scale basses made by them. It's light, compact and exceedingly well balanced, and fitted with a 9v Noll 2-band preamp and Bartolini pickups. Controls are volume (a push/pull pot for active/passive mode) pickup pan, and stacked treble and bass cut/boost. The woven carbon graphite neck, composite body and extended scale give the bass a wonderfully clear, concise voice, and it's fantastic to play. It's just been fitted with a fresh battery and a new set of D'Addario EXL170-5's. [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][font=Tahoma]- blackstone body (composite material)[/font][/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][font=Tahoma]- woven graphite neck[/font][/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][font=Tahoma]- phenowood fingerboard w/ zero fret[/font][/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][font=Tahoma]- Bartolini hum cancelling single coil pickups[/font][/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][font=Tahoma]- Schaller straplocks[/font][/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][font=Tahoma]- weight: 3.9kg[/font][/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=Georgia,][font=Tahoma]- string spacing at bridge: 18.3mm / 0.72 inches[/font][/font][/color] I bought this bass quite recently from another BC'er, but something else has caught my eye, so unfortunately I have to 'rationalise' my little collection. I'm only asking what I paid for it, and it comes with a Fender guitar gigbag, which it fits comfortably. The price includes shipping within the UK, or you're welcome to collect (near to junction 10 of the M25) . Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades. NOW SOLD pending payment.
  19. Up for sale is my Yamaha BB615 5-string lined fretless, which started life fretted, and was converted by The Gallery in Camden. It's a lovely bass to play and sounds great, but I just don't play fretless much, or very well for that matter, so it needs to move on to pastures new! 3-band EQ, currently fitted with medium Thomastik flats. It has a couple of small marks on the back of the neck, and a bit of a gouge in the underside of the headstock, both courtesy of its original owner, but neither has any effect on the playability.

  20. For sale is a very funky Peavey USA Millennium 5, not to be confused with their Indonesian budget range. A lovely and quite rare thing, and only bought from fellow BC'er finkle at the end of last year, but something almost as shiny has caught my eye, so sadly I have to 'rationalise' my little collection. Complete with fresh batteries and new set of D'Addario EXL170-5s, and a sturdy Peavey fitted case. USA made, specs as follows:[list] [*]Eastern Maple satin finish neck with Pau Ferro fingerboard (15" radius) and graphite reinforcement [*]35" scale with 21 frets [*]Alder body [*]1 x MM style and 1 x Jazz Peavey VFL active pickups [*]Active 18v 3 band preamp with mid sweep control [*]Hipshot low mass tuners [*]Quadra-Just Hipshot bridge with 3 way adjustable saddles [*]Truss rod adjustable by wheel - as for EBMM basses - no allen keys needed [*]Through bridge and through body stringing [*]Graphtech Tusq nut [*]Schaller Straplocks [*]17.5mm string spacing (adjustable) [*]Nut width 1.82" at nut (45.72mm), coming out to 62.21mm at 12th fret, and 68.36mm at 21st fret [*]Nut depth 20.37mm at 1st fret, depth coming out to 22.19mm at 12th fret [*]Weight 9 lbs [/list] NOW TRADED
  21. I'd like to know what happened to the rest of the old bike he used to make this...
  22. Everything looks better in a rural setting. Except that.
  23. Now that's thorough. I particularly like the bit of duster fluff caught on the tuner screw head in picture #5...
