    For sale is a brand-spanking-new Reverend Mercalli 5-FM (violin Flame Maple top). I bought it on a whim, because I loved the look of the thing, and I still do, but playing 35" scale basses for years has left me feeling a little cramped on a 34". Some things just work, and this bass and my 6'2" frame just don't fit, as lovely as it is (the bass, that is) Reverend have really got their act together - it's very well built and beautifully finished, sounds big and fat, and was ready to play with a nice low action straight out of the box. More specs can be found at [url="http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend/guitars/bass_series/mercalli_5.html"]http://www.reverendg...mercalli_5.html[/url] I've only had it two weeks, and it's never even left the house. The plastic film is still on the scratchplate, and it will be shipped in it's original packing cartons, so it's literally as new. Someone is going to get a bargain due to my impulsiveness, as I'm only asking [s]£600[/s] £550 shipped in the UK - an extraordinary amount of bass for the money. The only trade I would consider would be a Lakland DJ5... SOLD pending the usual....

    Up for sale is my Aguilar DB750, bought here on BC last year. A phenomenal amp, with seemingly limitless, effortless power, full, warm sound with generous EQ and a 'breadth' of tone I've not experienced before. All preamp valves replaced just a few months ago, gigged by me only half a dozen times, good condition, with Protec Aguilar branded rack bag. It's a fairly heavy amp, which is why we're parting company, and in deference to my arthritic joints I'm reverting to something lighter, but I will miss the extraordinary warmth and sheer raw power it's capable of. Pickup is preferred, but if you really can't collect it, the cost within the UK would be £35 uninsured and £75 insured. I'm just off junction 10 of the M25. The price is £[s]950[/s] now reduced to £900. I would consider a trade for a Lakland DJ5... NOW SOLD PENDING THE USUAL....

    I bought an SKC Bogart 5-string from Rhys, and it was a pleasure to do business with him. Great communication, thoroughly honest and trustworthy throughout. Can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Rhys!

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1326782511' post='1501787'] I saw Diamond Head live and still have their white lp somewhere. Was that Robbie (the album has no credits....its white ) [/quote] No, that was the first line-up, Robbie was with them from the 'Canterbury' album (1983) along with original members Sean Harris (vocals) and Brian Tatler (guitar), and new members Josh Phillips (keyboards) and Merv Goldsworthy (bass). Good album, too - very different from the white album and 'Am I Evil' - produced by Mike Shipley, engineered by Bob Clearmountain, IIRC.

    [quote name='iconic' timestamp='1326800339' post='1502031'] Sad news. Alphavillie.....as in big in japan? [/quote] Yup. He wasn't in the band at the time of the hit, just for a couple of years in the mid-90's, but they were still big somwhere!

    Just heard the dreadful news that Aussie drummer extraordinaire Robbie France died very suddenly yesterday in Spain, where he resided for many years, presenting a daily radio show. His credits include Diamond Head, UFO, Skunk Anansie, Alphaville, Wishbone Ash, Ellis, Beggs & Howard, and many others. He was one of the finest drummers I've had the good fortune to work with, and a great guy with a huge personality to boot. A sad day.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1326357143' post='1495777'] Brilliant Go West clip! I'd forgotten about Graham Edwards. Great player... [/quote] Great player! These days Graham is one third of LA writing/production team The Matrix the others being his wife Lauren Christy and Scott Spock, whose credits read like a who's who of the US charts over the last 10 years. Their breakthrough hit was Avril Lavigne's 'Complicated'. A very talented (and probably now extremely wealthy) man!

    Bought a SWR 410 from Ben - great communication, fabulous packaging - it would have survived anything our wonderful UK couriers could have thrown at it. Highly recommended. Many thanks!

    For what it's worth, I have a 2007 Skyline (Korean) Lakland DJ5, and also had a 2008 Skyline (Indonesian) DJ5, but I much prefer the Korean - it has a bigger sound, and is a little heavier, which may have something to do with it. I sold the 2008 DJ5 to finance a new purchase, but not because it was a bad bass in any way - the build quality and general finish was excellent, it played beautifully, and sounded great. I've also owned USA Laklands in the past, and they are higher quality, but perhaps not so much that it justifies the much bigger price tag, in my opinion. As EssentialTension said further up the thread - try before you buy, every bass is different.

    [quote name='wal4string' timestamp='1325731457' post='1486883'] For a bass I wanted to try but never had the chance. I will offer £850.00, if not have a bump. [/quote] Thanks for the offer, but as it's nearly £1700 worth of bass and accessories, it would need to be a bit more than that! Please PM me if you want to chat about it, as I don't get notified when comments are left on the topic.

    For sale is my MM Stingray 5 in Honeyburst, fitted with a custom see-thru plate. The previous owner, although he thought the circuitry being visible looked very cool, found it picked up a tiny bit of hum in the studio as the plate's not foil backed as normal. As a temporary work-around, he took some foil, trimmed it to size, and fitted it under the plate to 'seal' the control cavity from interference, which it does very well. I've never bothered to remove it in the 5 years I've owned the bass, as I think it looks slightly reminiscent of a 4-string Stingray's chrome control plate. Overall it's in very good condition, apart from a few very small dings in the lacquer on the lower edge of the body, but nothing major. The other notable thing about this example is it's a lightweight for a Stingray 5 - I've owned a few over the years, so I can attest to this - weighing in at only 8.25 lbs. Comes with a good quality Fender gigbag, price £900 plus shipping. Please don't tempt me with trades, I'm trying to downsize!! More pics (along with some of my Clover Avenger 5, Dingwall Combustion 5, and Ibanez Roadster that are also up for sale) are here: [url="http://s1141.photobucket.com/albums/n588/lowwregisterhead/"]http://s1141.photobu...wwregisterhead/[/url] NOW SOLD...
