    This pic was taken back in 2007. I had 1956 and 1959 Champs, they sounded so lovely in stereo. I also had the matching Champ lap steel for the 1956 Champ but sold the lot, including the pedals, in around 2010 when I was preparing to buy a flat and not playing as much guitar as in my 20's.

    Looks like you're closing in then, nice one. Always good to play as many as you can and then feel like you know you've chosen one that stands out. Good luck on the search

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1399203814' post='2442000'] I've got one of these, absolutely superb sounding guitars and beautifully built. I tried absolutely loads of different acoustics before settling on one of these, Martin included. Whoever buys this will be well pleased. Have a bump. [/quote] Thanks EZ, I couldn't agree more about the value for money aspect of these guitars. [size=4] [/size]

    [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1399232571' post='2442315'] That's just gorgeous. I spent a long time hankering after a parlour guitar and came perilously close to buying one despite having no obvious use for it. Couldn't justify it these days as anything but a complete indulgence. Thanks for sharing. [/quote] Thanks, my pleasure. Parlours like this are sublime for fingerpicking, other parlours I have played are quite harsh sounding so are perhaps better for blues picking? This guitar always inspires.

    I sold this one back in 2009-ish. I'd had it since 1996 and played the hell out of it. Tried to buy it back last year in a sentimental moment but the guy wants to keep hold of it. Would be fun to have her back again. If you see her out there, tell her to come home! Added MM neck pickup and Precision pickup. 2 band MM preamp Stacked vol and tone for Precision pickup Active/Passive switch for MM Coil split option for MM 3 way MM pickup switch P pickup / MM pickup selector switch [attachment=161969:Stingray.jpg]

    Here's my pride and joy. Martin parlour guitar with original hard case from circa 1870. [size=4]I never could have believed that such a direct and warm tone could come from one so small. They'll bury me with this one.[/size] The bridge has been changed, as have the tuners. Still, she is nearly 150 years old! [attachment=161963:ljhf 022.jpg]

    Ian bought a vintage Fender from me. Top bloke and a pleasure to deal with, no problems at all and a true Gentleman to meet. Thanks Ian, enjoy the bass! [size=4] [/size]

    [quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1399053504' post='2440558'] Yet another killer bass from the Chiliwailer stable. How do you do it, man?! [/quote] Haha, cheers pal. I guess you're appreciating one thing that I enjoy, and also one thing that I don't enjoy..... I enjoy buying non extortionately priced Fenders which are from the Golden Age, good examples that are pleasing to play, great quality and verging on iconic. The part I don't enjoy is hitting the reality that I just can't keep them all and need to move some on in order to appreciate others for a while. I've got my keepers, which are listed in my signature, but from time to time I buy other ones to enjoy, admire and eventually decide on whether or not they have a permanent place in my 'pack'. Like many other guys here, I've found that just because a bass is great, it may not suit a players style enough to be a keeper. The cool thing about these old Fenders is that if you're in the right position you can buy them, enjoy them, and sell them on easily without losing any money. Better than money sitting in the bank I say and a nice way to enjoy great instruments and bits of history. [s][size=4]I've got my eye on some non bass gear at the moment [/size][/s][size=4][s]so this could be the last one for a while, but I'll never say never![/s] [/size] [size=4][b]EDIT: [/b]I just bought a new acoustic so this really should be the last bass I sell for a while, buying basses for fun is now off limits [/size]

    [quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1399038528' post='2440330'] Wow, that's a mark up and a bit! They must've paid more than you sold it for to want that much for it! [/quote] It's a commission sale so the shop are pricing accordingly to the owners wishes I guess? Ron who owns NoTom is a spot on Gent. I think the guy who got it from me is buying a house so is selling some lovely old basses, this one included. I doubt they'll get the full asking price. There's always the real 'sale price' and then the 'hanging on the wall price'!

    What, no replies yet? Nice one Bassix, sounds like you guys have got your vibes intertwined with some good old fashioned punky naughtiness. There's honesty in the noise [size=4] [/size]

    A friend of mine has been trying to buy my one off me recently, he offered me £2500 but I'm not going to part with it, they are very cool basses if you like what they do and mines a sure fire keeper. He's now found 2 x New Old Stock ones in the States, the new price went up to $4000 before they went bust, depending on spec. http://www.basscentral.com/modulus/fleabass.shtml I can't wait until he gets them shipped, be great to see some more over here.

    [quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1398900711' post='2438969'] Funnily enough, I played that EXACT one when I was up there 2 weeks ago! Played lovely, however the 66 P Bass was the one I fell in love with, just gotta save up some money to be able to afford it! [/quote] That '66 used to be mine. I sold it here on Basschat last year for £3500, now it's up for £5995 in Denmark Street! Don't get me wrong, I was happy and realistic with the £3500 so I had a sweet smile when I walked in and was happy to see it again. [quote name='Mark_88MPH' timestamp='1398963452' post='2439528'] Thanks I love the look and sound of them too, such a unique sound I think! [/quote] Killer bass mate, I'm glad you got one in the end!

    That's a lovely bass mate, fantastic price too. GLWTS
