    I can't say enough good things about the Gallery. I've known Martin for over 10 years and the work he's done for me has always been first class

    Done some checking on this and am pretty sure it's a Spoiler with an Exploiter body shape. I reckon the current bid price (£1,220) is Ok but I wouldn't spend a lot more on a Spolier really. Very approx valuation becuase they are so rare but I'd usually reckon a Spolier would be less than half the value of a full on Exploiter.

    I think it might actually be called an 'Exploiter' rather than an 'Explorer' I see the price has jumped £200 since I mentioned it on BC, lol.

    [quote name='BarnacleBob' post='767254' date='Mar 7 2010, 08:09 PM']Aren't these new in the £5k - £8K bracket? Bb[/quote] They aren't a 'standard' build as far as I know so difficult to price - certainly not listed on the Alembic web site price list or in the custom build section.

    [quote name='Fianso' post='765925' date='Mar 6 2010, 11:26 AM']Thanks ! No i don't Know, but i already haved a Fender JB and the Louis Johnson is not heavier. But If you want, maybe i can weight it [/quote] That would be really useful if it's not a hassle. The older I get the more I seem to need lighter weight basses

    Looks really cool - Do you know how much it weighs?

    Now sold

    molan replied to jsixties's topic in Basses For Sale

    Wow - always quite fancied a White Falcon 6 string (in the days when I sometimes played them). Never knew they made a bass version!
  12. molan
    I used to have one of these - great little amps and able to chuck out quite a volume (especially with the matching 1x12 extension cab
  13. molan
    Wow - that's a great price for one of these! Nick is a top guy to deal with too So what is the 'dream bass'?

    [quote name='jamiesonk666' post='762148' date='Mar 2 2010, 07:48 PM']Hi, I have a P bass too. It came with a receipt from a music shop my old gaffer used to work in and he actually sold it. The year of the Invoice was '76. Is there any way of finding out how old it is without butchering it. I had a gold anondised scratch put on, D marzio model p's and some schaller knobs. I can get hold of the original parts . How much roughly do you think its worth. ta jamie[/quote] Hi Jamie - get some pics together, as many as you can really and the serial number and post a question in the general bass forum. You'll get lots of advice there

    [quote name='jsixties' post='760473' date='Mar 1 2010, 09:50 AM']Hi mate, good question. I guess you're right, not a big difference with my '78 but I think this neck it's smaller and more comfortable. I forget it: Comes with Dunlop dual straplocks and of course its original ones.[/quote] So the neck on this is smaller/shallower than the '78J? My old '72 had a very Jazz type neck, much nicer then the late '70's P bass I once owned which a very club-like neck.

    [quote name='Bassej' post='760916' date='Mar 1 2010, 04:43 PM']I'm from Holland, so I guess it'll have to be send. I don't really know how much this is worth, so I'm still thinking about the price. I think a good idea for people with interests is to just bid.[/quote] As per previous post - you have to put a fixed price for sale in this forum. If you want to set up a bidding auction then you need to go to EBay (or something similar).

    [quote name='JTUK' post='661840' date='Nov 22 2009, 03:16 PM']Question: I now have two Sei 5's. or do I sell one and go for another Jazz5 with the same sort of pre config.. As much as I like the Jazz5 it just isn't compatible with the Flam as it stands and that is not something I realised when I bought the Jazz. I will have fun messing round with the Shack pre.. AGAIN.. but I have only just got it setlled in nicely a few months ago... Trial and error for me, for a few months, I feel...[/quote] If the Flam is a 4 and you decide to sell then let me know N.B. Tried to hunt for pictures of your Flam but I'm on a BlackBerry on a super slow wireless hotel network, lol

    [quote name='BassBod' post='755633' date='Feb 23 2010, 11:00 PM']As a former owner of this bass, I can confirm it has THE best neck..ever. Big and solid like a Pbass should be - perfect. The body's not bad either![/quote] Does that mean it has a really 'chunky' neck like maybe a late 70'4 Fender?

    I'm not a fan of the Gus bass vibe but if something came up that I really liked at over £5k then I'd have no issues with laying out that kind of money. The most I've ever spent on a bass was £3,200 and when it came up for sale I didn't really think twice. I wanted one, I had the money, I bought it. As it happens when I decided it wasn't quite right for me (too many strings) I found two people very interested at the same approx price I'd paid without even putting it up for sale. There are plenty of us out there who can afford to indulge ourselves on our favourite pastimes As plenty of others have said - a £5k bass won't be 5 times better than a £1k bass but, as others have agreed with, if yoiu've got the money then who's to say how much a bass might be worth to any individual so why not go ahead and buy one

    Motown

    molan posted a topic in General Discussion

    I have some serious time on my hands to listen to music at the moment and, after a couple of semi-disastrous attempts at modern prog, drifted back into Motown this afternoon. Had great fun listening to a Diana Ross (and Supremes on some songs) 40 greatest hits and trying to identify the bassist. Some obvious Jamerson, a couple that sounded like they were played with a pick which I'm guessing was Carole Kaye and, of course the later stuff with Bernard Edwards. I'm sure there's gonna be some Bob Babbit, maybe Chuck Rainey, Wilton Felder etc. Just wondered if there's a site out there that takes a decent stab on who played on what across the Motown catalogue?

    Now if this was a Zal Cleminson SAHB SG I would be biting your arm off, lol. Looks really nice nevertheless

    Hi all, I jumped on these as soon as they went on sale and got 5th row tickets in the stalls, pretty central as well. Unfortunately I can't make it now as I'll be on a plane! Cost is £40 each (which is what I paid for them from the lovely Ticketmaster).
