  1. HI all, Here are some pics taken in the (somewhat murky) day light to hopefully give a better idea of the colour. Still taken on a phone - but the camera on it is about as good as my real camera tbh!
  2. Bump - will get new pics asap, but am not getting home in the day light atm. Any questions or trade offers please get in touch!
  3. Hi - just to say, didnt get a chance to take pics today in decent light. I have dug my camera out, and will get them taken asap! The colour is a warm white with the grain coming through very strongly - not pink at all!
  4. Cool - Like I said, am more than happy to sort some better pics out; dont think the combination of evening light, a phone camera, and a green wall is helping - just wanted to check there was interest first. Will get them done over the weekend.
  5. Bump - want at least £200 cash with trade value to bring upto the initial valuation. Will also listen ti straigh sales (preferred) or basses of lower valuation with more cash. Also - very willing to listen to offers, so bet in touch!
  6. If you were looking for trades I'd be all over that Peavey.... hey ho!
  7. Bump - had some interesting offers just holding out to see if I can get something that will really be useful to me! So, hit me with any trade/deal offers you have!
  8. Cheers for all the positive words people - it really is a quality instrument. I have a 5 string Fender Jazz that I have had for a very long time and has seen me through a lot that I am considering putting up for sale instead of this.... buy it before I change my mind! I am selling the whole bass - the cost break down is to give you an idea of outlay.
  9. If you are looking at this and tempted, feel free to shoot offers my way - worst I can do is say no! Would consider going slightly higher on trade value/lower on cash but would want a minimum of £200. Priority for cash sale tho. Would also be most interested in fretless basses!
  10. Hi, nope is 34", but has the best 'B' I've played, and is really nice and consistent across the strings!
  11. [size=4]Hi all, we are looking to move house, so I would like to free up some cash. Up for sale is this beautiful, Warmoth bodied and Necked 5 string jazz bass. Put together using the best bits available - a beautiful black korina 5 string deluxe body, Goncalo Alves Neck, Hipshot ultralights, Schaller Bridge etc it really is a top quality instrument. It is wired passive, with a stack knob control setup. The neck has to be played to be believed, feels amazing, very smooth and natural - the wood is unfinished, but naturally has a highish oil content so feels finished.[/size] [size=4]All parts new, except pickups and neck;[/size] [size=4]Body - Deluxe 5 JBass®, Black Korina - £200[/size] [size=4]Bridge - Black Schaller roller 5 - £75[/size] [size=4]Neck - [color=#333333]Deluxe 5 neck with Goncalo Alves shaft, Pau Ferro fingerboard - £220[/color][/size] [size=4][color=#333333]Tuners - Black Hipshot Ultralights - £100[/color][/size] [size=4][color=#333333]Fender Noiseless Pickups - £50[/color][/size] [size=4][color=#333333]Black Stack Knob control plate - £50[/color][/size] [color=#333333]So all in, owes me approx £700 + the little bits (battery boxes, neck screws, string retainer etc - so another £40ish), also, the import duties that must have come to a good £150 for the various bits, so altogether knocking on £900ish outlaw. The control plate was put together as a custom spec with our very own Kiogon and is top quality. The body has been stained white and finished with Danish oil ontop of that. The bass really speaks for itself and easily plays like instruments that cost £1500/£2000 to buy. For a cash sale, I am looking for around £600, I would also listen to trades to a bass of lower value with at least £300 cash my way.[/color] [color=#333333]Please see the pics, and ask any questions you may have! Apologies for the pics - if there is interest, I will upload some new ones taken in day light.[/color] [size=4][color=#333333][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#333333][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#333333][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#333333][/color][/size]
  12. [quote name='Adrenochrome' timestamp='1348835712' post='1818869'] You should have confiscated it [/quote] It did cross my mind :-) I got him to leave it in my office - for safety obviously - and explained that I would play on it during the day!
  13. [quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1348790302' post='1818441'] Didnt know you were in Okehampton, I got married there just last Saturday at the town hall! (The Mrs comes from Broadwoodwidger) Somerset though? Bit of a commute everyday? [/quote] Ah - no way! It is a cool little town, would be really good for a nice chilled wedding. The commute is a bit mental, but the pay for being Head of Department kind of offsets it...
  14. Pm sent
  15. Yep - it was like playing a new bass. The punch and output were massive - even through a small Vox practice amp. It was heavy, but I guess this transfers into the tone... The class were doing a whole group performance, and his root notes were cutting through the mix so clearly; were far more prominant than a more able bassist going through a more powerful amp!
  16. Im head of Music at a school in Somerset. One of my students had been showing interest in the bass (a lot of them do - funny that!), and asked if he could bring in the bass his dad had, and said he could use. He said it was really nice - but that gets said a lot when kids bring in all sorts of cheap 80's things. Anyway, he bought in a battered brown case, opened it up to show me a fretless Wal in pretty much mint condition. Its beautiful! He said he had never know his dad to play it, but 'he used to play in a band'... anyway, I suggested that maybe it would be best not to bring it in in the future and use one of the Yamahas I have at school... I'm still stunned!
  17. Bump for sales - last chances on the compressor and board... will listen to offers! Looking for a nice filter, and a good 9v compressor.
  18. Will put stuff on ebay later... had some interest in the bass synth - will consider offers/trades to save me the hassle of ebay and fees!
  19. Ah - I did not know that... will try it and might keep it, it does sound brilliant... hmmm!
  20. Bump for updated listing - will seriously consider cash offers, if no interest will get onto ebay over the weekend.
