  1. Hey guys. I was thinking of commisioning a run of 5 string Bridge covers and Pickup covers, however I only want one of these, but getting a run of them would spread the tooling cost. How interested would you be if it was with the F**der "F" stamp on the bridge? Would you still be interested if it was just a blank bridge cover? How about more then just Stainless steel? Black? Brass? Gold plated? Lightweight aluminium? Currently there are no 5 string J/P bridge covers or P pickup covers on the market as far as i can see (Let me know if you know of any) What do you reckon? Rob.
  2. Price drop to £900. FIRM, picked up.
  3. After trying a stingray with flats i can state that in my opinion, Bernard used Flats with his ray.
  4. Hes back! The Messiah returns!
  5. [quote name='CraigPlaysBass' post='873356' date='Jun 21 2010, 11:56 AM']Similar to the way ebay does it? Being able to use multiple filters in one go?[/quote] Sort of! Its up to the seller to include the tags, but it does help them in the long run.
  6. The problem with making many subforums is that it results in the defragmentation of communication. Whilst to a regular member it might be quite an attractive proposition, however to a new member it could be either confusing or overly complicated. Plus some of these new sections might not be popular at at all (ERB's for example). Which discourages people on repeat visits, the classifieds sections are successful because they have many new threads in a day. I do not think adding more subforums is the answer. However if anything i think the search function should be improved either to be modified to allow less then three character searches, or maybe when starting a new thread members could have an icon selection which could have terms such as "5 string" etc. Which can be filtered by clicking a link at the top of the page. Much like this. (Yeah i subscribe to interesting sites) Click on a subject such as "Unfunny" and it leaves just those posts. So we could have icons such as "5 String" "4 String" "Vintage" "Extended Range" "Weird" etc etc.... It could be entirely possible to use more then one icon in a thread to further help your search. This option would however be entirely dependent on the current forum technology we use. It might not be implementable. Just a thought!
  7. Bump! [quote name='dead' post='870026' date='Jun 17 2010, 04:52 PM']would you be interrested by my warwick ? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88723&hl=warwick+$$"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...ck+$$[/url][/quote] No sorry.
  8. bump. For reference i will not post overseas so stop contacting me like i will change my mind! cheers! Rob
  9. Would also trade for Ampeg SVT (All valve)
  10. [quote name='cgordonfreeman' post='865682' date='Jun 13 2010, 03:48 AM']Fancy this? basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88335 It's not rosewood. It's pao ferro...[/quote] Nope, cant stand 35" scale. Cheers.
  11. Nothing wrong with a Ibanez Gary Willis fretless!
  12. Wrong section (Now moved) Also it might be helpful to post a location.
  13. Now withdrawn! The setup on the bass is really lovely, its going to be a really tight month moneywise though! Rob.
  14. I may have someone very interested in the amp. Will let you know.
  15. Just had it setup and its lovely!
  16. [quote name='Gust0o' post='854333' date='Jun 1 2010, 11:47 PM']Good position, for balance - though it'll feel like you've grown a third-nipple whilst playing sat down. So, is it locked in Passive or Active?[/quote] No idea! Gut feeling is passive.
  17. [quote name='Gust0o' post='854323' date='Jun 1 2010, 11:31 PM']Same position as the Eagle? Any idea on why the switch is playing up?[/quote] Yup same position. No idea why the switch is playing up, nothing wrong wiringwise. Probably needs replacement.
  18. [quote name='rmshaw37' post='854314' date='Jun 1 2010, 11:23 PM']thats a cracker, comfortable on a strap??[/quote] Its slightly odd because the strap pin is on the back of the bass instead of the end of the upper horn, however apart from that eccentricity its very comfortable on a bass
  19. Thanks guys, its not actually my bass! Its the Mrs which i bought for her in an ill planned foray into bass playing.
  20. Hey guys. Decided to move on the Bongo, its not really the bass for me, i dont need a 4 band EQ or the extra humbucker on the neck. Looks bloomin evil though! [size=3][b]Description [/b][/size] Here we have an excellant example of a Musicman Bongo V, its an earlyish built one. [size=3][b]Specification[/b][/size] Stealth black finish, pretty rare! Basswood body, unsure of the neck (Probably maple) rosewood fingerboard, with half moon inlays. All original pickups and 4 band preamp. All hardware is black, 34" Scale, nice Stingray-esq neck. Completely original. Comes with a high quality Gator hardcase [size=3] [b]Functionality[/b] [/size] Absoloutely no problems electrically or structurally, all electronics are working smoothly. The pre-amp runs very hot (18volt) Volume/Balance/Bass/Low Mid/High Mid/Treble controls. Trussrod is 100% functional. [size=3] [b]Playability[/b][/size] Plays like a Musicman should! No problems here. Lovely player! Just intonated it myself last night. [size=3][b]Sounds[/b][/size] Sounds a little smoother then a stingray, more refined, but also with more power, clean tone is massive. Growl can be had using the 4 band EQ. Really fat sound. [size=3][b]Condition[/b][/size] The only ding worth mentioning is the one on the upper horn on the front of the bass that you can see in the photos. There are some other small imperfections but nothing to get worked up about, they are impossible to photograph. Frets and fingerboard is in great condition. [size=3] [b]Price/Trades [/b][/size] Same what i paid for it £930. (Heres a link to the Ebay page. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320533583967&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] ) Straight trades i would consider on this bass is a Musicman Stingray/Sterling 5 string, such as a limited edition, Stealth, or graphite necked models, NO ROSEWOOD BOARDS. Vigier Passion 5 String or other high quality 5 string basses. Part Exchange. (With cash my way) Fender USA Deluxe 5's in Montego black Plus £200 cash or Musicman 4/5 string (Non limited edition model, NO ROSEWOOD BOARDS) plus £250-£350 cash or Gibson Grabber (Reissue or original) plus £400 cash. May consider other basses. [size=3][b]Delivery[/b][/size] Bass must be picked up from Bristol, would rather not post at this time. However, if you are interested in the bass and want to trade, then a meetup could be arranged. If you need to have it posted, let me know and i will contact you if i decide to post. [size=3] [b]Other information[/b][/size] If you require any other information or specific photos of the bass, please let me know either by PM or my E-mail address Anubispearl [AT] hotmail.com, My number is also available for serious buyers. [b][size=3]Photos[/size][/b]
  21. [quote name='guzzibass' post='850171' date='May 28 2010, 10:55 AM']What's the pinky-coloured one?[/quote] My old bass, and if he wants to sell it on i get first dibs on it
