Gage Realist Copperhead. Try before Buy - *WITHDRAWN*

I bought this recently on the forum but it doesn't suit my ply bass. Now my bass is not very resonant, like most ply basses, but it doesn't have much output when I plug into an amp. What I don't know is whether there is an issue with the Realist or whether its simply unsuited to my bass. So I propose that the 'buyer' try this out first and - if it works fine - then pay me. Half new price posted, £90, if it works fine. Sound reasonable? Previous ad (and it looks the same):

If you would sacrifice 25W and a few features, my rackmount UK made ABM 500 in Gator bag will be up FS shortly (in London) at half that price. Nowt wrong with it, it was a a stopover until my all-valve Hand Box WB-100 was ready (will be in next 1-2 weeks)

The innards have been ready for some time, waiting for the boxes

Hopefully my name is on one of then (not literally obvs)

If spending over 1k on a new/nearly-new bass I want something pristine! -

I had a ponder about that ex demo SG bass but decided against it. In case you are interested, it weighs 7.46 pounds and I have some pictures of the scratch I could send you? -

Just agreed to buy a PJB mini combo for my double bass from Rhys. Friendly comms and I am sure it will be just the ticket for small gigs and practice. Cheers!

Ink in the Well was my first exposure to DB too, always loved DT's sinuous growly bass line(s) on that song. Orpheus on a later DS album Secrets of the Beehive is also wonderful -

Adrian bought a rather marvellous archtop Takamine TB-10 bass from me and trusted me to hand over to a pal of his for transport up to the Lake District from London. Top guy. Enjoy!!!

+1 to this suggestion. I have seen a ton of jazz bassists use MarkBass gear (eg, back line at the Jazz Cafe) and for trio/quartets this combo is very popular. Good with DB (use a preamp in front for impedance matching and feedback control) and for electric bass.
