    [quote name='Jobiebass' post='240216' date='Jul 15 2008, 05:14 PM']Ahh ok, you know what, I nearly got one of those from ebay, was pre EB with the muted bridge thing. But then decided that I didnt need 2 4H rays, both maple and both red.[/quote] Agreed, more than one Ray 4H is just plain greedy

    Wish I'd seen this before, got a nice 2005 maple necked CAR Ray 4 single H that I'd have been tempted to move for this

    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='238127' date='Jul 12 2008, 07:00 PM']Unfortunately not Martin. What with my car needing a service and my wife's desire to get more bits done to the house, my GAS fund is non-existent. Never mind, it would've clashed with my eyes anyway[/quote] Nick, your GAS under control - never! BTW any news on the Shuker 5?

    Cheers BW. This and Ian's 300 Watter are both bargains. TBH if it won't fetch £150 tho I'll keep it back - guess a back up would always come in handy.

    Bumped for addition of piccies

    I feel your pain. I sold my DJ5 a few months back - couldn't get on with the neck. Now excluvively back to 4's - guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. This is a seriously fine Jazz bass at a great price - credit crunch or no credit crunch.

    I wan't really into the MIA Jazz vs MIM argument but I've got to admit the MIA fretless I now have is head and shoulders above the MIM I had. It feels similar but the sound is just sooooooooo much 'smoother'? Agree that they probably aren't the best Jazzes tho...............however I will have to continue dreaming of the Sadowsky - anybody want to swap me one for a Stingray + Jazz?

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='237461' date='Jul 11 2008, 05:06 PM']You know its bad when schools are closing! Our school has had an axe hanging over it for a few years (along with all of the other Middle schools in our town), it will now (along with 5 other schools) close in 2010 to make way for privatised education and who knows how many of us will be out of jobs. All to save money under the auspice it is to raise standards.[/quote] I qualified as a teacher about 5 years ago but went back into engineering (now purchasing) mainly for financial reasons but kept the QTS in the back pocket for a rainy day. Maybe it's time to stop paying my GTC subs...............

    [quote name='Mr Cougar' post='234189' date='Jul 7 2008, 02:44 PM']Better watch out Bassy, if I shift my Sandberg Jazz anytime soon you might be subject to a Cougar bite. Lovely bass, deserves to be sold.[/quote] Jim, you hate Statii - you said they were for sad 80's b******s like me

    Trouble is 'my perfect sound' changes depending what situation I'm in. For the function band, the P bass thru a TE with the pre-shape is spot on. For the rock nights its gotta be the Stingray thru the TE flat. For 'acoustic' nights I use the Jazz f'less straight into the desk.

    [quote name='Marcus' post='233736' date='Jul 6 2008, 07:55 PM']Just give in Martin, you know you want it !! By the way i'm passing Sunny Donny on Wednesday on my way to Nottingham !!![/quote] Now that's just unkind Still, a pint at the Holiday Inn might be just what I need.
  12. martthebass
    God that is so tempting Mark, Somebody please buy this before I decide I don't want a MB amp to go with the Mark Bass Cab that's gathering dust in my porch...... Glad I'm not doing any work up North for a few weeks - that would have been too much tempation.

    [quote name='minty fresh death' post='233612' date='Jul 6 2008, 03:12 PM']Well let me know when and we could work out somewhere to meet while your en route?[/quote] Will do, however in the interim if there's anyone who is interested and could collect let me know as I've gotta move this....

    [quote name='minty fresh death' post='233601' date='Jul 6 2008, 02:41 PM']When are you back down around Wales, i've got the money waiting? I could do with a combo for practice, now i'm getting rid of my lil rig and going back up to a 6x10.[/quote] Not sure at the mo - nothing planned.. If something comes up I'll let you know - It'll be South Wales tho as opposed to mid.
  15. martthebass
    Chris, lovely bass mate. Makes me want to go out and sell all my basses to fund one.................but I won't (this time)

    [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='233589' date='Jul 6 2008, 02:16 PM']If ever you needed incontrovertible proof that UK Ltd is on it's arse financially, this thread and the one offering the 4x10 Trace combo more than adequately provide it IMHO. Absolutely unbelievable.[/quote] Yup, getting a bit tired of this recession we 'aren't' having. Thing is don't really need the cash - just the space, so if it doesn't go I'll donate it to the local jam night I 'attend' Let's put it this way, with trade in prices as they are it's been a good cure for any GAS I might have had.
  17. martthebass
    Well, one last crack at this before the 'bay'. £150 collected
  18. martthebass
    Hi SRF, sorry mate closest I (routinely) get to 'down south' is M4 corridor - Wales end. Cheers
  19. martthebass
    Well Mrs MTB is asking for her porch back so I'm putting this down to £175.
  20. martthebass
    'Flogging a dead horse' type bump.
  21. martthebass
    Bump and reduced to £195 collected.
  22. martthebass
    Bumpola
  23. martthebass
    Bump to the top................I'm always open to negotiation.
  24. martthebass
    Shame about the condition thing really. I think I've got worse about condition since I joined BC. Mainly cos I now think of the value of the item as much as the use (for potential gas induced trade fodder reasons). I think we all know that if you're pxing at the local shoppe the lovely age induced patina and beer smell we all love becomes minus $$ come trade in (unless it's a particularly sought after antique Fender/Ric/ANO). At the mo I'm careful (but not to obsession) on two of my basses but the gigging bass (2004 Precision) is just that and I expect it to pick up knocks it's almost impossible for it not to.
  25. martthebass
    Bump for stock piccie addition........................yes I know it's small. The actual amp is much bigger - at least 4MB
