    Can't believe this is still here. Its probably classifies as vintage now. So if I were you I would put it as a commission sale through that vintage specialist shop in Norfolk that has 27 bona fide early-60s Precisions, 34 real '70s Jazzes and packet of lightly used MurrayMints

    I will add the bass is a LOT more surf greeny than it appears in Steve's pics - sadly I have deleted my old pics so I cannot chip in here. Edit: here is a g**tar in a similar colour to how I remember the Bacchus [attachment=88899:surf1ewrbtrebt.jpg]

    Um, me again! Sold Jack back his old Alleva 5'er when he realised he couldn't live without it and I realised I was never made to play a low B string ... As always a pleasure

    I have seen this bass being used in anger at Mark/discreet's Pigbag gig at the Jazz Cafe earlier this year. It both looks and sounds immense. If I didn't already have my oly White P bass I would be snapping this up. Someone grab a stonking bass here!

    I love the green snot-burst Precision on the Straighten Out video! IIRC someone on BassChat has a replica of this - very cool [attachment=88881:32189666...d7f594b1.jpg]

    Very easy deal on my Markbass Micromark combo with Ash paying super-fast. All good, as per comments in posts above

    back in blighty bump

    F sharp (on the E string) - a large proportion of Rattlin Bone basslines are based around it!

    I have had mixed experiences at the Gallery but only good ones recently. When I first went a few years back I felt a bit of an interloper and certainly didn't get what I would call a warm welcome. To be fair I felt a bit of a fraud as I was not a good bass player (still am not a good one but at least I can keep time now!) and there was all this fabulous kit there and some very knowledgeable guys, so I had a bit of an inferiority complex. In the last year or so, as I have had more regular dealings with Alex and Martin I have had only good experiences. Alex has been very friendly and helpful in particular and Martin helped me sort out a problem with a Wal neck superbly well. I suspect they have to know people (like in many other lines of business) before 'opening up'. To the OP, I am sorry you had a rough time but I suspect they may have had a few tyre kickers taking the mickey with the Wals in stock (all around £3.5k bar a newly listed Pro model) and they incorrectly thought you may be another - which clearly was not right and therefore not a smart move business-wise If you can forget this one bad experience, i would recommend you go back

    Latest bump from abroad - this time Paris, where the food is better than Scandinavia but the women not so blonde

    This is a cracking Jazz with a beautiful nitro finish ( originally sonic blue but faded to a sort of sea foam green) and a really fast neck. As good as a Fender custom shop Jazz IMHO (new prices for Bacchus 62Js are similar to Fender CS too so £499 was a bargain! )

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='1361821' date='Sep 4 2011, 03:03 PM']Never?! Wow! Personally, I think you are in for a treat. Yes, its never going to have the Fender passive tone, BUT, it is almost like an extension of it. If you compare it to any Fender, the quality is night and day. The slightest touch gives you a massive tone. Roll back the treble, stick some flats on it, lovely big warm DB-ish tones. Have everything flat or raise the treble, with rounds, and use a pick, its just full on aggression and snarl. As much as I love Fenders, my favourite bass is still the Ray.[/quote] [attachment=88730:128839900466329911.jpg]

    Very smart, Jack. I played a gig with your (my old) DB in Camden earlier this year where I had to park the car half a mile away from the venue. I nearly expired, lugging it on my right shoulder with my combo in my left hand. Of course it would be easier still for your practices if you just bought my fretless acoustic off me PS, how did the gig go today? Hope you avoided that awful downpour in SW/W London in the early part of the afternoon

    Here's a pic of the actual bass. [attachment=88702:P1040893.jpg] PS If meeting in London is a problem I could always bring the bass along to the South-East BassBash on 24th Sep???

    The Markbass Micromark combo has sold separately so its back to the Eko bass plus gigbag, strap, La Bellas and K&K pickup for the far-from-princely sum of 200 of your finest English pounds. Unfortunately it remains pickup/collect only as I do not trust the likes of Parcelforce/Interparcel with this
  17. Clarky
    Sold to Ash

    Confession time: I have never played a Ray! As I am happy with my Fenders I don't want to either, just in case of GAS
  19. Clarky
    This may have gone

    As Kenny once sang, come on everybody, do the bump!
  22. Clarky
    Bump. This would work nicely with the Markbass MicroMark combo I am selling. I would bundle the two for a good price if anyone is interested? £400 for both, saving £50 big ones
  23. Clarky
    Would bundle this with my Eko fretless acoustic bass package for £400 (saving £50)
  24. Clarky
    Hey Barrie, any new Alleva's arrived?
  25. Clarky
    Tiny lightweight and noisy bump!
