  5. Thanks Guys...... I'm going to take a year to get fit, I've taken up Tennis in a big way and i'm loving the health benefits.....
  6. Chaps....... When John collects my Bass & Rig tomorrow I will be without a Bass for the first time in a very long time..... I've decided to take a year off Bass entirely and come back afresh, i'm simply a bit bored with where I am with the instrument and need a break to get some passion again. I need to re-invent myself as a Bass Player ! I've got my custom bass for my 40th (Sept 2010) in progress now and i'm looking forward to the build process and getting every detail as I want it. Over the time Basschat (& other incarnations of this site) has been going I have bought and sold a fair amount of gear and met loads of smashing people who I consider friends..... Thanks to everyone on here..... Ped, Kiwi & the Mods especially for keeping this site on the go for us all. All The Best Guys Mark
  7. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='556646' date='Jul 30 2009, 10:14 PM']Hey Mark mate, if no fecker is gonna put their hand in their pockets I'll take the whole lot; keep the isolation platform and flog the rest on eBay! Consider it sold mate. See you either tomorrow or over the weekend. [/quote] Well that's it then....... John's cleaned me out good and propper ! Guys...... thanks for the trade offers etc, some really good offers I would have usually gone for..... but like I said i'm having some time off from the instrument ATB Mark

  13. Guys, Monster sounding Rig for Sale....... I can honestly say that this SWR 750X gave a very good account of itself A/B'd against my DB750 (which it replaced) OK the DB was a bit better in terms of Pure sonic ability but live....... in the mix ? not sure there's be much in it ! The built in distortion and Octave effects are excellent (Distortion is very ODB3) The Head has a little bit of "Rack Rash" and one of the Control knobs is missing the centre cap, Make no mistake...... this Rig is LOUD as HELL !! Pre Fender SWR Boxes in VGC (Golliath mint & SOB a little bit of fuzz but otherwise spot on) The 410 especially has had hardly any use ! SOB comes with SWR soft cover You guys know what i'm like when i've decided to sell something....... I don't mess around !! The whole rig goes for £700 collected from Sunderland [b]Reduced to £600[/b] ATB Mark
  14. Oh..... and Sold Pending Thanks for all the interest guys
  15. [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='544990' date='Jul 19 2009, 10:47 PM']Ah! I think I know what it is! If it is what I think it is, I'd love it but won't be able to buy it! Heheh![/quote] How the hell does an Alembic end up in cash convertors ?? Actually....... no it's not that one !
  16. [quote name='MB1' post='544970' date='Jul 19 2009, 10:22 PM']MB1. ....Whats the Target Bass Mark??? BUMP![/quote] hey up Martin...... you'll like this..... it starts with an "A" and ends with a "C"
  17. [quote name='MB1' post='544930' date='Jul 19 2009, 09:29 PM']MB1. Hello Mark! ....Lot of bass for a good price!...have previously played one of these and they are very nice... unfortunately not in the market for another Status at the moment though!.....thought theyed have snapped this up on Stati (at this price!) BUMP![/quote] I've not put it up on the Statii site yet...... I think Chris did I love that site but it's full on Yanks trying to plunder our bass stocks with their strong $
  18. [quote name='MB1' post='544922' date='Jul 19 2009, 09:21 PM']MB1. ...... Probably Playing his Kingbass 1..... [/quote] Is he happy though....
  19. [quote name='birdy' post='544901' date='Jul 19 2009, 08:50 PM']Hopefully the good doctor will be along to buy this soon :-) Steve[/quote] ha ha...... hasn't Nick got enough ? It's a hell of a lot of Bass for £500 so i'm sure he'll be tempted ! ATB
  20. Guys...... I'm prepared to drop this to £500 so long as my Target bass remains available Jesus Guys........ do I have to give it away !???? Where's MB1 when you need him !!!
  21. Yep that's right Peter....... Damn...... looks like i've got this sold a couple of times over..... I really need to move the Status on befor I let this go though.... Mark
  22. Guys, I've got something else in mind so i'm looking to raise the cash through the sale of my Status & possibly this Superb Squier Some of you may recall when I purchased this from Guitar Guitar I was raving about the quality, feel and playability for a £290 Bass I had Bassdoc install a pair of Brand New EMG's and put a battery compartment into the rear.... I honestly feel this Bass stands up to any Sub £1000 Jazz i've owned..... I've used this in a rehearsal with a RHCP Tribute and it Kills !!!! Feeler at the minute as my Status isn't yet sold and I'm hoping I can get a deal done befor the other bass i'm after sells !! Looking for £200 (firm) I sold this to Funky Hobbit..... who sold this to Warwickhunt...... who I bought it back off !! Some pics in The Hobbit's thread here........ [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46069&hl=squier+vibe+jazz"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...quier+vibe+jazz[/url]
  23. Hi Chaps....... I'm selling this superb Status for one reason only.... My Fat fingers are struggling with the string spacing.... i'm that used to fender / musicman these days I can't seem to adjust and it's just a bit tight for me. Since I bought it from Chris it's had some TLC Full strip, clean & polish Fret Polish & Board cleaned & polished New Battery (Duracel Ultra M3) New Set of DR Hi Beams 40 - 100 & Full set up Plays like butter with the fastest lowest action you'll find. Sound wise.... 100% Status but with more balls (owing the the JJ Configuration I guess) Some Status Basses I've had have sounded too thin to carry much weight in a busy band mix, this fella would suit a good variety of gigging situations. Kingbass II on the cheap ? Comes with Hard Case..... Price is what I paid for the Bass from Chris which was a Bargain £550 [b]Reduced to £500 so long as my Target Bass remains available[/b] I'll point you at Chris's Sale Thread for now - I'll get some photo's of it looking all shiny later when i've got a little more time.....

  24. [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='542680' date='Jul 16 2009, 10:18 PM']I used to work in music instrument retail and sometimes, get drafted into help out in my old chap's shop here in Peterborough. The problem you mention is solved swiftly - I muscle in on the miscreant (young slapper!) and say, `wow thats cool, can I have a go?' The mop-headed herbert grunts, gives me the bass, I then destroy him via sheer musical power and skill! They then slope off, having been made to look silly in front of their posse!!! Hahah! Nick (old slapper!)[/quote] Bully !! Musician make horrible customers - Shops get a raw deal these days with everyone throwing Internet prices in their faces...... I don't mind paying a bit more for good service...... I've built up good relationships with a good number of shops both locally and nationally, they value my custom and I respect their need to make a living !
