I'm in DY4. Next few weeks I'm in Wakefield and Derbyshire, not got anything planned in the south west but don't mind meeting halfway down the M5.

I bought this last year because I've always wanted a Ric style bass, and never had £1200 to spend. Unfortunately with a wedding to pay for this year I need to sell a few things, and this will be first to go. It's as new, not a mark on it, I've only played it a handful of times. The neck is wider than I'm used to (as I normally play Jazz and Soundgear) but it's thinner than an OLP MM2 I once had.

I'd prefer not to post due to the set neck, but don't mind delivering within reason, and I'm often on the road for work so might be able to arrange something. [/color][/size][/font][/left]

Amazing basses, lightweight and the slimmest necks, I'd buy it if I could afford another!

Would you be interested in my Deluxe Active Jazz, also upgraded with Badass II?

Now on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120788454032

Bump - no interest in a cheap effects pedal ideal for home practice?

Selling my Korg AX10B - good condition as only used at home for practice, I've since bought something else because I need a synth which is pretty much the only thing this lacks. Loads of amp types, effects and ambience settings, with wah/volume pedal. Had it powered on batteries and not changed them for at least a year (probably says more about how much I've used it than how long they last!). £45 posted in the original box. Can't remember if I've got the instructions but I'll print them off if I haven't.

Hi Joe, PM'd

PM'd.

Can a moderator please move this to Bass Porn? Wow, if only I had £1250!!

I'll take the Pro15s please! Bought some Pro Subs a couple of months ago and never got round to buying the matching full range speakers!

[quote name='andytoad' post='1181263' date='Mar 29 2011, 07:56 PM']Hi, is this a US model?[/quote] These are Mex with USA pickups and electronics. Great quality though, really smooth finish on the neck. Not very keen on the preamp, the bridge pickup sounds really weak, I always wanted to put an East J-Deluxe in it, but bought a house last year and getting married next year so can't afford such luxuries anytime soon!

[s]Tempted to trade my Jazz, as I hardly play it and when I do end up playing the wrong notes because I'm so used to playing my 24 fret Ibanez (amazing how much difference it makes!). So... possible trades for a 4 or 5 string around the same value. Can't see any marks on it, always looked after it pretty well, all I've done is added a Bad Ass II because the original rattled a lot on the g string.[/s] Withdrawn - extra bit of cash next months means I can put a J-Retro in it and hopefully I'll play it a bit more then!
