BUMP.... This will be going to V&R next weekend probably so any interest let me know asap. Thanks Steve

I have played this bass and its a lovely example of how a stingray should sound and has a great played in feel to it as well. Steve

[quote name='walbassist' post='148952' date='Feb 29 2008, 02:16 PM']Okay folks, following a bit of research and consultation with BC colleagues, prices for the genuine vintage parts are as follows: [list] [*]neck + tuners £900 (I'd rather sell the neck as a complete unit) [*]bridge pickup £220 [*]control plate (plate, pots, cap, knobs - modern jack socket but original included in sale) £150 [*]neckplate and screws £100 [*]neck pu cover (repro screws) £90 [*]bridge and screws £80 [*]thumbrest and screws £40 [*]strap buttons and screws £25 [/list] Cheers Gareth[/quote] Hi Gareth, I am no expert on prices by any means but my gut feel is that you are undervaluing the neck and tuners. I am sure I have seen 66 necks go for a grand or more and the oval tuners are worth £2-300 in their own right. As I say not certain of these values but I think £900 is a very keen price and someone will get a bargain. Steve

[quote name='Mr Cougar' post='148456' date='Feb 28 2008, 03:30 PM']Tell me you haven't got that Red Sadowsky of Steves? Actually probably best if you don't, you don't want to hear a crash in the middle of the night and find a GAS crazed Cougar tearing apart your home. I've been casting anxious glances at that Olly white Jazz he's selling and hoping the GAS passes.[/quote] Hes got it alright Two great basses there Rich!

BUMP...make me an offer on this. Steve

Recently purchased off our very own Bass Ferret its still in good condition. Since I bought my Berg rig I havent got much need for this and its 1x12 partner has now gone as has my EBS head. £200 or I will keep it for noodling around on. This is a good deal I think for a great little cab. Steve SOLDSOLDSOLD

[quote name='gareth' post='147134' date='Feb 26 2008, 10:20 AM']"Proberbly sooner than you think Jim ( interested)" Is it just me or does there seem to be a move away from high end fender like copies back to the real thing? Having had both Fender CS and Sadowsky basses - how do you think they compare?[/quote] I'll chirp in here as I have owned both. I think in terms of build quality and playability they are very similar although I think the Sadowskys are slightly consistently higher quality but when you get a good CS one you get a good one! They differ in terms of sounds as the Sadowksy doesnt do the passive fender as well as the CS and the CS doesnt do the aggressive cut through as well as the Sadowsky in my opinion. Horses for courses, both cracking basses! Steve

Thank Goodness I can't afford it. Would love the preamp on its own if you decide to split. Steve

[quote name='Phil Oakey' post='146564' date='Feb 25 2008, 01:31 PM']Sorry I've not replied. I was shaving my head. To be honest I've never really get on with bass players. They always seem to have a over inflated view of how important they are to a band. I've always thought that they were more than adequately substituted by a decent synth/sampler. Let's face it songs like For Once in My Life and What's Goin' On would have sounded much better with a Moog rather than Jamerson's boring thunk. Plus you don't have to listen to a synth drone on about how the guitarist is drowning them out or how the FOH engineer doesn't understand "their" sound. Anyway must dash - I've got a wig fitting this afternoon.[/quote] Quality

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='146261' date='Feb 24 2008, 10:53 PM']Kin'ell Steve I cant keep up You must be one one hell of a spend [/quote] Got to keep the gear moving! I am just rationalising my position to one of clarity as they say! As always kids, dont try this at home Steve

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='146227' date='Feb 24 2008, 10:00 PM']Hell that was quick been looking for a backup head for my LM, pays to not go to the bog or have a bath around here![/quote] Certainly not both at the same time Steve

Would prefer not to eBay this and I *might* keep the Sadowsky so anyone got a sensible offer on this? Try me - you never know! Steve

[quote name='Jebo1' post='146194' date='Feb 24 2008, 09:06 PM']Birdy, PMd/ I'll take it and pay tonight. Cheers, L[/quote] SOLD to Lawrie. Steve

I have an EBS HD350 that I got from Urb last year and its been fine but I have never gigged it as I had the Mesa Walkabout that was smaller. Anyway, I decided to sell it and had a deal with 6 string bassist (Kev) who came round and was about to buy it until we noticed that occasionally there was some slight hissing noise. Its hard to explain but it was quite intermittent and we agreed best not to do a deal. I took the top off the amp and it seemed to be something around the transformer. I pushed a few wires around and seated a few connections and I haven't heard the noise since. Ideally it should maybe be serviced and if necessary repaired but I just want to sell it now sold as seen in order to get some cash in. If this was in perfect condition I would be looking for £450 which is what I paid. Willing to let this go for SOLD bought as seen which I think is fair as it leaves you SOLD to spend on it which may be completely unnecessary. I am not going to post this as I want whoever buys it to come and see/play it in North Birmingham. I think this is a fair deal? I am not trying to rip anyone here at all. I honestly don't think theres much wrong with it. Thanks Steve

Thanks for the 'Golden age of the future' album - takes me back to pleasant times[/quote] I reckon its a wind up as 'Phil' only joined today but its a very good one Jebos reply was pretty cool also Steve
