  1. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1447363657' post='2907157'] No [/quote] Great, well that sorts that out...
  2. Are there any alternatives you would consider?
  3. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1447356109' post='2907064'] Lakland, Limelight, Sandberg, Maruszcyk, Lull, not read a bad thing about their Precision style basses. I had a Lakland Skyline which is their cheaper end range and it was very good, so can only think how good the higher ranges are. Similarly with the Yamaha BB range, I had an 1100s, very good bass. But for me, well a Precision is a Fender. Accept no imitations. [/quote] I've had a Sandberg for a few week now, i'd say its a P-bass with options.

  6. Liberon finishing oil would give you a hard protective finish, the more layers you add the more gloss you get. You need to apply thin coats, 1 every 24 hours. BriWax is a great wax product, you could cut back (1500 wet and dry) the gloss finish of the Liberon oil with BriWax, that would give you a lovely satin effect.

  9. Great trade with Tom, great communications and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. Members like Tom make BC a great place to buy and sell.
  10. [quote name='Sam Warren' timestamp='1445527318' post='2892172'] I'm very interested in the bass but strongly dislike that finish (no offence intended). Can it be removed easily and returned to the standard matte oil finish without damage? [/quote] Hi Sam Yep its quite simple to remove the shine. Bass would need to be disassembled then i would suggest 1800 grit sandpaper would leave the bass with a light satin finish.
  11. Always interested just depends on what your offering? Cheers Rory
  12. The finish is an oil product, it just goes hard, so you would not need to oil over it.
  13. This product dries hard, so the more layers you put on the more gloss it gets, I put on 5 coats with 24 hours between layers. It nourishes and enhances the colour of wood. Its's hard wearing and Water, heat, alcohol and food acid resistant. Found this when i was designing furniture many moons ago.
  14. Warwick Thumb BO 5 string [size=5][b]£750 including delivery to the UK[/b][/size] [url="http://s738.photobucket.com/user/rmcki68/slideshow/Warwick%20Thumb%20BO%205"]http://s738.photobucket.com[/url] For sale is a recently acquired thumb, bought from eBay. This was my second attempt to get into a Thumb which has not come off. Bass has had some TLC, but is in great nick for a 20 year old German instrument. All the hardware is new and a new MEC vol pot and jack socket has been added. Very little fret wear and everything functioning as it should. There is some obvious wear on the neck pickup, shown in the pictures. Serial # K-021793-95 Wenge Neck and Fretboard! Brass nut Ovangkol body New black hardware 9 volt pre-amp Mec pickups Finish on the body is just liberon finishing oil, which provides a great protective barrier Price includes delivery to the UK only, hard case, padded 3” strap and strap locks.
  15. I actually loved the UNI PRE in the thumb, much warmer tone i thought, but with enough of the Warwick sound left. Though i didn’t get on with the thumb, for some reason i couldn’t get comfortable. This is the second thumb i've tried, an NT and now the BO, both have left me with a sore left hand, so i think it'll be a restore the MEC preamp and move it on. I think i'll look for a 5 string streamer.
  16. £850 incl delivery [color=#333333][url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0135-mbl-finn-5/"]ACG MLB Finn 5[/url][/color] For sale is my Custom ACG FINN5 made for the Manchester Bass Lounge. Bass comes with dunlop strap locks, padded gig bag. 
A terrific sounding bass, it has been great having a bass that can sound so different to the other basses i have.
 Bass has 2 small digs, 1 on the body and 1 on the head both shown below.

 Cost includes delivery to UK
