  1. Thanks to Russ (EBSfreak) for pointing this out to me. I did hesitate for about 5 seconds :-)
  2. Andy, I will take this - You brought it from me in about 2007. Will send PM Steve
  3. Hello Mr.M i recognise that Sterling :-)

    Feedback for Harry

    [quote name='Gwilym' timestamp='1323900800' post='1468621'] +1 to all the above. just bought a bass from Harry, and it couldn't be easier. thoroughly recommended cheers Harry, I am a very happy chappy G [/quote] Same Here! Easy guy to deal with :-) Steve
  6. I have this same bass but with an Indian Rosewood fretboard and it's all I have gigged with in the last 12 months which anyone who knows me will know is almost a miracle. The DN board would also be a £1000 additional option if you were buying this but you couldn't as there is none left :-) Whoever gets this won't be disappointed!! Steve
  7. [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1320328437' post='1425360'] This is typical isn't it. There's me looking for an early 60's (although money dictates a refin), and this pops up around 5miles from where I live. Si [/quote] Why don't you buy it and paint it after
  8. I hope to come to this but can't commit till nearer the time. If I do come I will bring whatever I still have but pretty definately my Alleva LG4. Steve
  9. I bought Chris's Celinder Update 4. Great communication, bass exactly as described, fast shipment and well packed - perfect transaction !! Steve
  10. Purchased this a few months ago from Gareth and now need to move it on due to incoming :-) Its a great bass. Hopefully Gareth will not mind me using his original thread to describe it and there is one pic still on there - I will put some more on later. There is a very small ding on the front of the bass since I bought it so I will listen to offers close to £1000 for this plus shipping. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/117145-1980s-stingray-black-n-maple-sold When I bought this there was no case or gig bag but I will ship in a gig bag purely for safety reasons. Thanks Steve I am based near Lichfield, any trial welcome :-)
  11. I will try and make this if its on a sunday afternoon as well. Thanks for organizing! Steve
  12. [quote name='lozbass' post='1257343' date='Jun 5 2011, 02:21 PM']Some staggering basses on here at fantastic prices - however, I'm at a loss to explain why this is still here. Beautiful hand-built classic[/quote] Agreed - I played this when Flanker had it for a short period and its an amazing bass and a complete bargain!!
  13. Bought Gareth's 80's Stingray from him in an easy deal. Great communication, fast shipment, well packaged and exactly as described :-) Thanks! Steve
  14. Why don't we have a basschat whip round and send the guy in Bulgaria a Warwick Buzzard?
  15. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1197612' date='Apr 12 2011, 11:19 PM']Wrong, As I see it Mark accepts this to be said bass but doesn't agree a refund is in order that's very different. The ins and outs have already been agreed between both parties.[/quote] We don't know that for sure though do we? Maybe we do, its late and I have lost the plot with this thread :-)
  16. [quote name='peteb' post='1197584' date='Apr 12 2011, 11:11 PM']As I understand it, the guy has bought a bass that he believes not to be genuine but has since traded it on to someone across the other side of Europe[/quote] I suspect this is the sticking point - the fact that the bass is now in Bulgaria (I could be wrong). If I were Mark I would want absolute proof that the bass and pictures were the one I had sold. Playing devils advocate at what point does Mark cease to be responsible for the bass. Lets imagine that the guy in Bulgaria did not spot it was a dud and sold it to someone in Norway a year later - should Mark still refund? Where does the guy who Mark bought the bass stand on this morally? This is a lot more complex than meets the eye in many ways and I expect Marks stance is based on ensuring he is not ripped off. I am in no way saying that anyone is trying to rip anyone off but I would want to know all the facts before I passed judgement either way. Its a shame that this could not have been resolved privately but none of us know the facts of who said what to whom or what has been said prior to this.

  18. I think this bass used to be mine and if so its a very good bass that had a great low action. Steve
  19. [quote name='chris_b' post='1130066' date='Feb 16 2011, 07:00 PM']You can't buy talent[/quote] I've tried my best
  20. I have an SKB 3005 and they are great basses so have a bump! Steve
  21. Only just saw this thread. I sold Mick the above mentioned US Lakland about 4 weeks ago and he was a pleasure to do business with and a great communicator. When he decided to move the bass on shortly after receiving it he even offered me half of any potential profit that he may make (not that he made one mind). Thanks Mick! Steve
  22. [quote name='ShaunB' post='1119015' date='Feb 7 2011, 03:58 PM']It's mine ;-) ...and it just arrived... ...and it's gorgeous! Cheers Mick for a great deal.[/quote] Great that this got sorted Guys. When Mick bought it Shaun was the next enquiry who just missed it so its cool that it finally got to him :-) Enjoy the bass, it is a lovely example!!
  23. I can see the pics and its amazing!!!
