    [quote name='Gordon Thudmaster May' timestamp='1347461194' post='1801149'] Don't want to scrutinize but the serial no dates your bass '76 [/quote] By '76 the three bolt neck would have been well established. Might find a few '74's with 4 bolts but nothing later as far as I know. Might suggest the serial number doesn't match the neck (or maybe the neck / body has been converted from 3 to 4 bolt?)?

    In your first post I see you mentioned a Fender P but then later on you say you're not interested in Fenders? Just checking as I have a Fender P Special to sell/trade at the moment

    How about contacting MM direct? Surely their customer service people would have something to say about this?

    I had one of these a couple of years ago and, foolishly, thought I could organise them and get them into shape. After 3-4 rehaearsals of listening to one guitarist play ludicrously loud, the other constantly being ou of tune and a drummer who lost time every time he through a 'fill' into the basic rhythm I finally gave up and walked away. All three of them had been in bands before, were reasonably mature (late 30's / early 40's) and all hopelessly deluded. If you get a good feel at an audition then musical ability isn't always the most important thing. A good Attitude and mutual respect, along with some basic organisation can go a long way. Doesn't sound like this lot had any of these Also, charging for an audition is complete no go. I've genuinely never heard of this before!

    These are fabulous basses, played one when BassGear had it in stock

    Nice little trio of basses here Might want to change your thread title as it makes it sound as if all three basses are 5's

    I think if you buy 'sensibly' on the used market then it should be easy to retain the value of any 'investment'. You have to go for quality brands and not just something that's in fashion at the moment (although sometimes this can be hard to predict). Garish colours and full custom build basses tend to devalue & can be buggers to sell. For some brands the market is at absolute rock bottom at the moment so buying one of these now will almost certainly see an increase in value within your 10 year time bracket. Some of the 'big name' US exotic brands have soared in value over the past 5-10 years. A few years back you could pick up a high end Alembic or Fodera etc for way less than they sell for now. To a degree this is because these brands have very high demand (and limited supply) in the big global markets like USA & Japan. Because of this supply / demand scenario they've also increased the price of their new basses substantially which makes their older used basses appear more attractive as well.

    [quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1347039938' post='1796388'] maybe the fastest wood and tronics sale i've EVER seen lol [/quote] Great price for a Zoid in this condition & with a quilt maple top

    How cool would this look if the cab was red tolex as well? Wonder if it's possible to get it recovered?

    The Vinny is a great bass - my #1 gigging bass for several years. Quite miss it really

    Aguilar say that feedback about him is always good - seems like a top class bloke!

    I love the Diamond bass comp. superb piece of kit and very 'musical'. The first compressor I've actually thought I might be able to work with

    I have a 210 that's a great little rehearsal / small gig cab. Tried it on top of a matching 410 recently and the two combined really well. Definitely seemed more than the sum of the individual parts.

    Warwick stipulate minimum stock levels that are pretty high - puts a lot of people off stocking them
  21. molan
    Definitely shouldn't be doing that. Did you buy from a UK dealer? They should either offer a repair or refer to their official tech in the UK - he's an absolute gem of a technician!

    The early Monarchs with the older body shapes do seem to command a bit of a premium at the moment (I have an '86 as well). They so rarely come up for sale though. I'm not exactly when Fodera moved to the current body shape though I'm afraid. The core overall design has remained fairly constant but widths, cutaways, depth, weights etc have all fluctuated from time to time. Having the more recent Pope preamp really helps in terms of value (although I love the HAZ pre in my '86).

    [quote name='loulou_2607' timestamp='1346505090' post='1790003'] Thanks Wira, I've seen this bass last week on bassgear, but to much expensive for me actually, and this bass was for sale last year on an other site for less than 5000$ if I'm right... [/quote] It was on TalkBass at $7,000 almost exactly a year ago. Exchange rates make that about £4,500, shipping and UK import duties would add £1,165 taking the total up to £5,665 which is £65 more than it's currently listed for on BassGear I know this because I nearly bought it then Eventually I traded a custom build Alleva Coppolo plus cash in order to secure it from the next owner (which meant I still had to pay import duties on it unfortunately). Great bass & some serious history having been owned by Will Lee & played by Vic Wooten himself at a Jaco tribute concert. However, I have three Foderas which is just too much of an investment really €4,800 is a good price for a Wooten Classic in good condition though. A new one would be over €7,500 (with those nasty import duties paid!).

    When you say Monarch '83 I'm assuming you mean this is a Victor Wooten Classic model? It's definitely not an original '83 Monarch

    Always been tempted by an IP112 - I love the idea of powered cabs and being able to play with different pre-amps in front of them Can you run the IP112 into both of the ER cabs - I think that's about 2.7 ohms?
