    Weekend bump, PMs replied to :-)

    Bump!

    Similar to previous posters, I play guitar and bass to a decent standard, and actually started on guitar, but I just feel at home on bass now. I played guitar at a gig a few years ago to fill in as our guitarist couldn't do the gig, and we had a dep bass player play my bits. I thought I might enjoy the guitarist "limelight", but spent the gig being jealous of the bassist we had filling in for me! I was glad I didn't enjoy playing guitar live, as had always wondered if I did the right thing opting to be a "permanent" bass player :-) There's something about the rhythmic side of things for me; I played drums as a youngster so think that has always stayed with me. Can't beat locking into a beat/groove in my opinion. I really, really love playing bass :-)

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1455364186' post='2978403'] Take a break, but don`t sell all your gear. You may find a renewed interest in music a few years down the line, and having to then re-buy is a pain - I`ve been there. Just sounds to me like your interest for your current band has gone. Once you start to resent gigging it really gets to you, so leaving is def best for both you and the band. [/quote] ^^^ This! I stopped playing around 10 years ago and sold all my gear... and now I've bought literally everything I had before again (and more!) since I started playing again around 3 years ago! Take a break and just wait for the bug to come back again. It will; it might take a little while, but it will come back.

    [quote name='BaggyMan' timestamp='1455287126' post='2977834'] trades? [/quote] Not currently, BaggyMan... I've bought 2 new basses since January so I'm slimming down the collection currently. If it doesn't sell longer term then I might reconsider, but there's really nothing else I need at the mo. Cheers though.

Collection from Norwich, or I can deliver in Norfolk/Suffolk if required for petrol money. Failing that, courier arranged by the buyer is fine. So, my lovely Lakland 55-01! It's absolutely lovely.... So, why am I selling it, I hear you ask? Well, I've bought 2 new basses since January this year for one, and I'm just not playing anything which requires a 5 string anymore... so it's time for it to have a nice new home where it will be tickled on a regular basis. It's in excellent condition - I can't see any marks, scratches, dents at all. Nothing. It's lived in its gig bag whenever it hasn't bee used, and it's been played fingerstyle only so there's no pick scratches or anything. The only thing I can see, which I've tried to photo, is a mark on the very end of the headstock, but it's not a scratch or dent or anything, just seems to be a marking in the wood itself. I only mention this in the interest of being totally honest! This bass plays so easily, it's the best 5 I've ever personally picked up. Inevitably, I'll miss it and want to buy it back in 6 months time, but for the moment it's just not getting the use. If you can give this beauty a home, both it and I will be very happy indeed Gig bag included! Any questions, just ask.

No trades, collection from Norwich, I can deliver in Norwich/Suffolk area, or it'll be courier arranged by the buyer. Ta. I've owned this from new since 2014. It's a fantastic guitar, but with my recent bass purchases and a lack of playing, it's time has come to find a new home! It's in excellent condition - no dents, scrapes or scratches etc. Comes in a fantastic quality gig bag which is nicely padded. Here's some specs nabbed from a retailer, which says it better than I can.... Introducing the Chapman ML7-T, designed collaboratively by Chapman Guitar fans under the supervision of 7 string supremo Keith Merrow! Chapman's first foray into the 7 String guitar market show all of the hallmarks of the Chapman brand: no filler, all killer, with a huge emphasis on tone! Constructed from Swamp Ash and finished natural, in keeping with the 7 string communities love for a bare-bones raw style, the ML7-T has a rich sparkling tone, loads of bite and definition and a warm tight low end - the perfect tonal basic for filthy distortion! Meanwhile the set-thru neck has the feel and playability of a thru neck but without the huge expense that it adds to a guitar, so you get great upper fret access and feel! The Custom Pro 7 Alnico passive humbuckers have all the dynamic range you could want with lightning fast attack and awesome sustain. Specification Swamp Ash Body All natural finish (note photos currently show prototype with black back and sides) Set thru neck Hipshot hardware Chapman Custom Pro 7 Alnico Passive Humbuckers Neck depth at nut: 40mm Neck depth at 12th: 52.1mm Neck depth at 24th: 57.6 Scale length: 26.5 Inches Includes gig bag This is genuinely a lovely guitar, and plays very easy for a 7 string. As mentioned, I'm only parting with it to pay for the 2 basses I've bought since January this year.... ! Any questions, just give me a shout!

    Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't gone already, but as you say, people might be waiting for the new one.... but why wait, when you can have this super awesome pedal right away?! ;-)

    Ooooooooh, that's going to hurt when they discover its true value :-/

    [quote name='TPTroll' timestamp='1453462854' post='2959677'] This is the one the OP is talking about - http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/fender_japan_fsr_classic_60s_p_bass_rw_vw.asp?gclid=CjwKEAiAw4e1BRDfi7vghaWU9jESJACzo9juga0hb0JjXzNyTx1ODdgrFr50CbPsmwMmKiFNdd--9xoC0DXw_wcB and this is the only 50's one they're selling in the UK so far I think - http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-fsr-japan-classic-50s-p-bass-vintage-white/123080?gclid=CjwKEAiAw4e1BRDfi7vghaWU9jESJACzo9ju82WLy5kLdsIeMGLaB94QWTAF7ZI5kh8GXYOYjMQs3BoCy-Tw_wcB The only difference between that 50's one and the one I got is the finish, and that one is basswood, whereas mine was alder. Fender Japan tend to do basswood for solid colour finishes, but also on some higher end versions of the same bass, like the FSR 60s bass. It's quite a good idea really - doing the same bass, just one with a cheaper wood, and a more expensive with a better wood. [/quote] Specifically, it's this one (which is alder bodied rather than basswood) which I'm drooling over: http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/fender_japan_fsr_special_60s_p_bass_rw_vw.asp?gclid=CKrW1vzOvcoCFYMSwwod1hMCGQ

    Interesting stuff. On a purely aesthetic basis, I'm still leaning towards the Fender, but it's all food for thought! :-)

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1453403598' post='2959268'] If that is the colour scheme you're looking at, [url="http://public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/jake/4-string/486-jake-4p-vintage-white-classic150463"]give this a look[/url]. It might save you a few quid... [/quote] Interesting.... I don't know much about Maruszczyk, though my heart is kinda set on a Fender... rightly or wrongly...!
