[quote name='ian' post='744374' date='Feb 13 2010, 11:04 PM']what im saying is when he come to play the bass i dont think he was mad on it but did not think it was right to back out of the deal .but your right he should not of sworn at you neither anyway i hope everything works out for you have a great night[/quote] Maybe you could tell your brother to stop harrasing me by text message as well then? His language is completely unacceptable and frankly i have a good mind to report him to the authorities. [quote]1. - Sending menacing messages causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another - Section 43 Telecommunications Act 1984 or more serious; 2. - Pursuing a course of conduct that puts you in fear of violence - Section 1 Protection from Harassment Act 1997 ".... is an offence for a person to pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment of another individual, and that they know or ought to know what they're doing amounts to harassment."[/quote] Whether your brother finds it weak that i would go to the authorities or not, i WILL do it if the harrassing messages dont stop. I dont want to hear about his experience in "martial arts" or his "big freinds" I also have what amounts to about 6-7 reports from different people in my inbox about his dodgy dealings and letting people down on BC, he is no longer welcome here and his attempt at making alternate accounts is ridiculous.

I have tried Warwicks before, the necks didnt bother me so much, its just i always invisiged getting THAT tone that some of my fave Warwick players get. Whenever i get a Warwick, i can NEVER get that tone, no matter how hard i try. However, every Musicman i have bought, i have managed to get THAT tone that famous Musicman players get. The way i see it, you have to put in some effort and work for THAT tone with a Warwick. With a MM i barely put in any effort and am completely happy. That said this is my opinion not yours

[quote name='Wil' post='739065' date='Feb 8 2010, 04:20 PM'] You never know, I might not be the first to win the PM race! [/quote] No such luck, i automatically deferred to you on the assumption that you had already pmed before me and that if you didnt buy it, i would. Even if my PM did come first, technically i offered it to you first.

FS/FT: Pedulla MVP5. LAST CHANCE, FINAL REDUCTION TO £800
Shockwave replied to Shockwave's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='leloupa' post='737956' date='Feb 7 2010, 11:43 AM']Can you check the stringspacing please ? Any sound files recorded with those strings ? greetings, Dave[/quote] String spacing is 17.5MM it can be adjusted to about 18MM as the bridge is adjustable widthwise. I do have soundclips but they are not indicitive of the actual tone of the bass as they are recorded through a terrible PC microphone. However if you are really desperate for those clips let me know and i will give them to you, there are many clips on youtube of these basses that are far better at demonstrating the Pedullas capabilities.

[size=3][b]Description[/b][/size] Here we have a Ibanez RG570, made in Japan in 1990. The guitar was owned by two people since new, myself and the previous owner who lives in Frome, Somerset. It is roughly 8lbs in weight according to a bathroom scale. [size=3][b]Specification[/b] [/size] This example is in gloss black with maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, features the original V series pickups, H-S-H, an original Edge 1 tremelo (Not to be confused with the far inferior edge 2/3), Gotoh Tuners, Locking nut, Volume/5 position switch and tone controls. The neck is bolted on in the non All access neck way, which is in keeping with the age of the RG. The guitar comes with a non original hardcase with various stickers stuck on one side. [size=3][b]Functionality[/b][/size] The electronics are scratchy but functional. The jacksocket, tremelo, truss rod, tuners all work 100%. The neck is straight as an arrow. [size=3][b]Playability [/b][/size] The strings on the guitar are quite heavy, what appears to be 12 gauge ernie ball nickles but i am unsure. The guitar is setup half a step down from standard E. The neck is thin and wide, not a super skinny neck like some of the modern RG's but still thin. The action is very low and pretty much buzz free. I am not much of a guitar player but my fantastic guitar playing friend Bob checked it out and loved the thing and hes a fussy bugger. The Jumbo frets are in great condition. [size=3][b]Sounds[/b][/size] The standard pickups are great for soloing, providing precise tone without muddiness, the bridge humbucker is very high gain, the single coil is great for a bit of trebley funk and the neck humbucker is good for those classic rock heartfelt solos. Ryhthmwise the guitar sounds very ballsy and chunky. [size=3][b]Condition[/b][/size] The guitar has one ding on the front of guitar shown in the photos. It also has a small chip near the jack socket also shown in the photos. There is some sticker residue left from a price tag on the back of the headstock. The neckplate has seen some wear. [size=3][b]Price/Trades[/b][/size] The price is [b]£250 FIRM[/b] Trades i would consider on this guitar are basses, any are considered that are of a similar value to the Ibanez. I may consider part exchanges on Gold P-bass parts. [size=3][b]Payment method[/b][/size] Cash or Bank transfer. [size=3][b]Delivery[/b][/size] I can offer postal delivery of the guitar as long as the cost is met by the buyer, the guitar will be sent the day after payment is received. I can offer a hand delivered service to your nearest major train station for the same price as postage would have cost, however this offer is only available to people willing to meet within 200 miles of Bristol. You can also pick up the guitar locally in Bristol. However i do not have a dedicated guitar amp with distortion to try it out with, only a clean bass rig. [size=3][b]Other information[/b][/size] The guitar has had its plastic pickup rings replaced with custom metal ones as the plastic ones became cracked through use. The old plastic rings are supplied along with a truss rod allen key, tremelo arm and Dunlop Straploks. If you require any other information or specific photos of the guitar, please let me know either by PM or my E-mail address [email protected], My number is also available for serious buyers.

[size=3][b]Description[/b][/size] Here we have a Fender 1994/1995 Precision bass, it is in reasonable condition. It was purchased by myself recently from a guy who has owned it since new. It is roughly 8lbs in weight, which can be considered lightweight. [size=3][b]Specification[/b] [/size] This example is in 3 tone sunburst withmaple neck and rosewood fingeboard, however the sunburst is not as bright as most and could be mistaken as a two tone in bad light, looks almost cherry like. The hardware is all standard Fender Japan, Chrome, volume and tone controls. The bass does not include a case or gigbag. [size=3][b]Functionality[/b][/size] The electronics are scratchy but functional, the jack socket seems like it would need replacing in the next few months but again is functional and can easily get through standard gigs. The truss rod and bridge adjustment is working 100%, The tuners are fully functional. [size=3][b]Playability [/b][/size] The strings on the bass are brand new, they are a set of Hartke Nickelwounds 110-50. The bass could do with a professional setup as it hasent been setup for those strings yet, If the buyer wants the bass professionally set up before being sent/collected then i can take it to Electric Ladyland in Bristol to be sorted for a minimal fee. If you want to setup the bass yourselfyou'll be happy to know i have adjusted the truss rod myself and as i mentioned in the functionality section is fully working (I am just pretty awful at setting up basses) This bass can become a great little player with some TLC. The frets are in good condition. [size=3][b]Sounds[/b][/size] The standard pickups are growly with plenty of midrange. The sound really lends itself to Slapstyle play, which surprised me when i first got it. Turn up the tone control for bright as you like slap, turn it right down for that deep Jamerson vibe. Well it sounds like a P-bass. [size=3][b]Condition[/b][/size] The bass has a few paint chips and dings, the most severe being on the back of the neck, all of which are detailed in the photos, these do not affect the way the bass plays in anyway. The bass has been recently cleaned with polish and the frets are in good condition. [size=3][b]Price/Trades[/b][/size] The price is reduced to [b]£300 FIRM[/b] Trades i would consider on this bass is a Musicman SUB 4 or 5 string, another P bass thats not sunburst, or a jazz bass. I may consider part exchanges on Gold bass parts. [size=3][b]Payment method[/b][/size] Cash or Bank transfer. [size=3][b]Delivery[/b][/size] I can offer postal delivery of the bass as long as the cost is met by the buyer, the bass will be sent the day after payment is received. I can offer a hand delivered service to your nearest major train station for the same price as postage would have cost, however this offer is only available to people willing to meet within 200 miles of Bristol. You can also pick up the bass locally in Bristol. Where you can try it out through my Ampeg rig. [size=3][b]Other information[/b][/size] Remember that the bass has no gigbag or hardcase and i am unable to supply one, if the bass needs to be posted i will be taking the neck off, which offers greater protection to the bass in transit. If you require any other information or specific photos of the bass, please let me know either by PM or my E-mail address [email protected], My number is also available for serious buyers.
