Hey guys. May be making an order with Alex to get a Barefaced S12T or Big twin. But before I do that, just need to see if anyone is looking to downsize from their S12T or Big twin? I have a Barefaced Compact in good condition with silver grill/cloth with the lighter ply available plus cash. I value the Barefaced at £450 cash value or £400 trade value. (Though I am not selling the compact at this time, I may do in the future) R.

Absoloute final price of £300. This is a bargain folks "Official"

[quote name='MarkWJenkins' timestamp='1349227478' post='1823670'] I've just noticed its from the same area, I've sent the seller a message now. Can you remove this post if possible? (Laptop just died, posting this message from my phone) This has confused me to no end! Sorry [/quote] Interesting. How have you sent the seller on gumtree a message just now? Gumtree removes all contact links to sellers if the listing has been delisted. I'll be honest I doubt the authenticity of your claims that you arent the person who posted the advert on gumtree.

[quote name='MarkWJenkins' timestamp='1349226768' post='1823667'] Yeah, I've got some pics of the build process on an old laptop. That is pretty strange, as I honestly haven't got this advertised anywhere else. I'll remove it until I can find out whats going on. Thanks!!! [/quote] Funny, You claim its not advertised elseware, yet its the exact same photos as the ones you have posted, from the same area of Wales.

Also, it is quite bad form for you to sell this bass on here for more then you have advertised it elseware.

Click on "Go to Full site" then Click on Full description and it states £150.

[quote name='MarkWJenkins' timestamp='1349225796' post='1823658'] Ahh fair one! Lol, this ones a mishmash of a couple of old basses, didn't know it would end up looking the same as a stock instrument. Cheers! =) [/quote] TBH, I am surprised you managed to make a parts bass like this. I dont suppose you could provide photos of the build process as proof? Yours looks just like a random model made by the same factory, rather then a parts bass. Not only is the headstock of the image I linked the same as yours, the body has the EXACT same knob configuration as the the one your selling.

The neck looks like it was made in the same factory and by the same people who make the "Tennessee brand of instruments. Same headstock even. I recall they were pretty cheap.

Sale Pending. Now then, if only someone will buy my Musicman SUB for £310 we're getting someway to getting a Guild B301!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1349124104' post='1822242'] Have you considered filing the nut and then smearing beeswax all over it? [/quote] Eh? Whats the reference?

Photos now added and a better description.

Hey guys. I have a Warwick Rockbass Corvette 5 String for sale. It has been stripped and refinished rather badly. The neck is in good condition (Even though in a couple of shots the flash makes it look bad). The paint is pretty thick in some places. Almost looks like a tub of nail varnish has been used on it. However the paint job has not affected the wood underneath. The pickups have alot of wear on them. Bass is passive and may have been active in the past so there is plenty of room in the cavity to install a pre-amp and possible battery. Some of the screws are missing on the bridge and looks like two of them have snapped off into the body. The bridge can hold full tension though. The jack socket is loose as well. The bridge and tuner hardware is in good condition. Truss rod is 100% OK, though bass needs a good setup. Bass will come with a beatup vintage leather style gigbag. REDUCED AGAIN to £105 FIRM picked up from Sutton London, Would prefer not to ship but will if buyer pays for shipping and accepts responsibility. Cheers! Rob.

Hey guys. I have a Dimarzio Willpower neck pup in good condition. £40 Shipped is another £5. Cheers! Rob.

Hmm, I would desperately love this! But must sell my SUB and Grabber first

Like your other advert, due to forum rules you MUST put a price value on the bass. Please do this ASAP.

[quote name='evilLordJuju' timestamp='1349012844' post='1820637'] This bass is still available [/quote] Heya. Due to forum rules you must state a value in £ on the bass, even if you are not selling it for cash.

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1348943434' post='1820047'] Cheers my Grabber is very light but being an early one it has the heavier clover tuners which add to the headstock diving to the floor routine. Looks a fantastic bass, good luck with the sale, I must resist...... [/quote] I imagine that would make a significant difference! I imagine yours is the one made of maple so mine would probably be a lighter body at that! (Alder)

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1348940671' post='1820007'] Nice what's the weight please and is there a lot of neck dive - like on mine? [/quote] No idea about exact weight. Pretty safe to say it is light. Never played on your grabber so no idea what your definition of bad neck dive is. It's pretty manageable, not as good as a fender, but much much better then a thunderbird or explorer. My grabber has the smaller enclosed Gibson tuners as standard, rather then the big open geared ones used in some grabbers. Pretty negligible with a decent strap though. R

Hey guys. UP for sale is my lovely Gibson grabber. Black/cherry, maple neck, brass nut, replaced original bridge with a hipshot one (Original included). Has had a recent refret and neck refinish. Looks lovely and plays lovely! Truss rod is absolutely fine. Comes with original beat up hard case. Body has dings and scratches of a 30+ year old bass. Currently has Dunlop straplok's and elixir strings. Has had a recent set up at the gallery. £710 FIRM. Not haggling on the price at all. Would prefer not to ship but will if buyer pays for shipping and accepts responsibility. Cheers! Rob.
