Clarky

Now residing happily in the house of Happy Jack who is annoyingly going to be better than me at DB within about three months of picking one up for the first time!

[quote name='lafrite' post='1297370' date='Jul 8 2011, 04:13 PM']I've got a good news for me, I just sold my 81 precision bass special so I can keep my lovely Wal. Clarky, you've done the exact oppposite ! That's funny.[/quote] Good news! I did sell my fretted Wal but I've still got my fretless Mk 1 Wal

On hold for 48 hours

If you could meet me in London, I would do it for £460. Thats £145 (24%) less than buying new (once you add in costs of delivery and custom cover)

Thanks moonbassalpha but TBH I would prefer one of the new lighter-ply ones with the vintage grill cloth. In fact I have potentially been offered a nearly-new vintage-style Compact by PM. That being the case I've done my sums and could drop a bit further on price - £475 incl post. Interested anyone?

Thinking on, If you were to order one from Alex, it would be £550 plus £25 post and the custom cover would be about £30 extra, for a total new cost of £605 If I were to price at £500 posted (within UK) I would be taking a £105 hit and you would be saving the same amount for a pristine, barely used, as new cab. Thats the best I can do. Thats probably not enough of a bargain to tempt anyone so it remains up for a trade

Trouble is, if I put a price up, it will have to be a lot less than I paid only a couple of months ago because thats the way the market is. Truth is this speaker is barely run in, I've only used it for perhaps 10 hours tops as my current band requires me only to play DB. Its basically about as new as you could wish for but I would have to take a big hit money-wise. So for now its up as a trade ...

Nice one Gaf! Muchos gracias and all that

I have a roughly two-month old Barefaced Midget T (new cost £550) which I got for doubling between electric and DB and has only seen use at home and a couple of rehearsals. Its in pristine nick and I have acquired a custom-made padded cover off eBay (Roqsolid I think, can't remember, cost c£30) I prefer my Wizzy 12 cab for my DB so would prefer something a bit more RAWK and old school for my electric bass, with a 15" speaker and without a tweeter. So is there a Barefaced fan out there with a Compact (preferably in the vintage cloth livery) who fancies a swap? Weighs just 22 pounds.

[quote name='Dr Phibes' post='1295425' date='Jul 6 2011, 11:39 PM']Bugger, pulled the trigger on one about two weeks ago! I'd have had this in a shot, mine sounds great. Bump for a nice mag pickup.[/quote] That's unfortunate timing! Thanks for the bump and it helps that another BCer recommends this pickup How about £80 posted anyone?

Bump. As I have swapped over the strings on my DB back to Silver Slaps, I will throw in the used Presto strings (in good condition) with these brand new ones for free - so that's a new set of Presto lights and a lightly used set for £80.

Bump for offers. Also in case anyone hasn't had the pleasure of the video clip in my first post above!
