    It makes no sense IF you already have a Kala, Owen. Seeing as I sold you back your old U-Bass, that left me without one. I waited a long time for Andy's daughter's Kahuna to come up, and it is indeed very nice (and has already attracted compliments from a couple of BCers who have now played it) ... but not as nice as the Kala it copies. ps: It's worth noting that part of the high price of the Kala gets you a superb padded semi-hard case. The Kahuna comes in a flimsy unpadded plastic gigbag which offers no serious protection whatever.

    Did you ever actually mention the weight?

    NBD Dingwall

    Happy Jack replied to Kev's topic in Bass Guitars

    One of the very few basses I still have genuine GAS for is a Dingwall Super-P. I had a Z2 once. Loved the feel and quality but hated the tone. No choice but to love that 37" B-string.

    [quote name='Ktmman' timestamp='1398443558' post='2434227'] They put it up at £250 and moved it on straight away i was told .... [/quote] I paid that much for my SB320, but that was because I was really, really keen to buy another (having foolishly sold a beauty a few years back). £250 for an SB310 is no rip-off, but I certainly wouldn't have paid that much for one.

    Just mail order, I'm pretty sure. There's really not much call for a huge bass supplier in Bagshot. Mind you, I believe there's an outfit in Twyford so what do I know?

    They haven't been made (by the original manufacturer, SGC Nanyo) for many years, so there's not really a retail price to quote. Back in the 90's the SB310 would have sold for £400 - £600 depending on exactly where and when you were buying. In the current market, an SB310 in good nick is worth (IMHO) maybe £150 - £200. YMMV.

    [quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1398242826' post='2431905'] I like that at lot! His version of Rock 'n' Roll on a ContraBass is pretty awesome too - clearly a chap who enjoys his playing. [/quote] I had a grin from ear to ear for the whole track.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1398265137' post='2432224'] Apparently there are those who think Lakland (Lake-land) is Lak-land. But it's not. [/quote] Unless you're buying kitchen goods, of course.

    +1 to the GK MB500. Leave the controls flat (or flat to your own ears, anyway) and just use it for the power section. If something elsewhere in your signal chain goes belly-up at a gig, you may find that having a complete, good-quality, tiny head is a boon.

    Another great band name ... The Special Tools.

    Hmmmm ... I doubt it Mick. 4-string fretless Wals struggle to top £2000 at the moment. That's lovely enough that it might make £2500 but I'd be very surprised to see it break through the £3000 barrier.

    I love that stand though ...

    [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1398182285' post='2431302'] "hefty weight with a quite thick neck" [/quote] The glue used in that laminate, on its own, probably weighs more than my main bass ...

    Looks like a particularly fine example.

    I like the look of that - I may not need it this week or next, but when my back chooses to go out again ... USA, Canada and Japan. Wonder why no European distribution? Also, the reviews are all from 2000. Can you tell whether the website is up to date?
  22. Happy Jack
    Yes, I thought I'd seen your name before ... but you have "8 posts" listed under your avatar! Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='blitz' timestamp='1398177884' post='2431227'] Nice work. All good advice. We've tried most of those things with various degrees of success - all worth trying. [/quote] +1 My main band (The Junkyard Dogs) is lucky enough to have Bluejay doing this stuff for us.

    Johannes, this is none of my business but if you want to sell a £1000 amp then you really need to do more than this. Your photo link goes to a single, very bad, very blurred photo. You give no details of what this amp is, how powerful it is, what the controls do, even how big it is. If you want to sell on a (mainly) British website then you should offer a quote for delivery to Britain. Remember that we know nothing about you at all except your posts on this For Sale topic. You haven't been here long enough to make friends on Basschat, so you need to work a bit harder if you want to sell this amp. I'm trying to be helpful. mfg

    You can't put us off the scent that easily, Bilbo.
