    Gone thanks

    three replied to karlfer's topic in Basses For Sale

    I foolishly put mine up for sale around a month ago - I'm moving and thought I'd reduce the bulk, plus I play short scale most of the time. A stupid idea and I returned to my senses - in some measure as a result of posts and PMs on here. I played the L this morning and maintain its the best Fender type bass I've owned (and that's loads with some very expensive super boutiques in there). Don't be fooled by some extremely reasonable prices! And bump...looking forward to seeing a burgundy P with maple neck on here.

    Lovely! 'Not always easy to tell, but the board looks dark - is it Brazilian rosewood? Also, the action looks pretty good - will it go very low?

    In more than 30 years of playing, I've used A LOT of amps. This is the best of the combos by a considerable margin. I prefer the styling of the original too

    Thanks Looda - a beautiful bass - I'm not the biggest fan of spalt but the top and Birdseye are just lovely

    How much? What has happened to the bass market?

    Best big tour amp on the planet IMO (and an easy two-person lift). A tank but worth every ounce in tone and heft

    The joint most beautifully playable J type I've ever owned - my Limelight is the only other with similar feel - wish I still had the JO. Pickups are fantastic - very high output and very focused

    Don't know if op has seen my messages but is that a spalt maple top?

    As a long-time short-scale player and advocate, I'd just add a word of caution: some SG type shortscales can feel a lot like a (very) long-scale as a result of strap pin positioning. Alembic SC types are a case in point (though absolutely my favourite basses by a mile). The Spector Shorty is a delight with fabulous ergonomics and a 22 fret board - I'm fortunate to have one and it gets more play than anything else. Not cheap though and the Warwick suggested above sounds like a brilliant alternative - hadn't seen these previously. Good luck to the OP - shorties can be a lot of fun and are very player friendly - a decent one will not imply any compromise in tone

    I like this very much - thoughtful and individual customisation. Was all the custom work undertaken professionally?

    I've had two of these and still have one (a five string). They're fantastic instruments - incredibly easy to play and good fun but with a full and characteristic Status tone - no compromise.

    Bump for withdrawal (and to repeat apologies as in the initial post)

    A lovely bass that I had the pleasure of playing when it was in the hands of another owner and Basschatter four or five years ago. From what I remember, the top is really lovely - is the truss rod cover still with the bass (I can't remember if it was plastic or wood)?

    If you're going for a 70s bass, have a look at Capri Orange (with black screws in a white scratch plate!)

    hahahahaha!

    I'm genuinely surprised that this is still here - these are superb basses - hand-built to perfection. An extraordinarily good price!

    Ooh...Mywatts are rather lovely though - the favourite of some guitarist friends of mine too! Just for clarity, the Limelight remains at £825 with the Spitfire guard (a thing of extraordinary beauty!) I'm rehearsing with the bass and gigging it tonight so possible re-appraisal tomorrow (I'm trying to remain resolute but struggling...)

    Bump for new image and price options

    Thanks Discreet, your clips are certainly better than anything that I can provide. Lots of interest but still here. Thanks for trade offers but looking for a sale only at this time
  20. three
    Sorry, no idea re pickups but they're fairly pokey and up-front - reminiscent of a US Lakland I had (Fralins I think in the latter). Thanks for all the very kind comments - I think this is a special bass
  21. three
    Quick update - I'm in Manchester for a couple of days and can bring the bass with me if there's any interest
  22. three
    Bump for images in first post (sorry, nothing like as good as those in links but at least you'll get a sense of what this looks like in the thread). I played this again today...Discreet, you're absolutely right - I'm struggling here and there just isn't another of these (like this one, anyway) around. I'm trying to remain resolute...I'll be in Birmingham tomorrow but could deliver to Manchester on Tuesday or Wednesday if there are any pre-Christmas takers. If we get beyond Christmas, I'm going to re-consider on the sales front

    I'm really starting to wobble on this - I played it for an hour this morning and it's truly a bit lovely. I must be strong. I've tried to get an accurate weight but on bathroom scales, the best I can do is about 9.5lbs
  24. three
    All revealed when the FedEx van arrives! To address questions, I'd say the weight is a shade over 9lbs - I'll try to weigh accurately tomorrow

    [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1418569700' post='2631239'] As we all know nothing rids you of gas! Worse still I'm in your neck of the woods in the Midlands this week!! [/quote] you're very welcome to a beer/coffee and a try-out if you're around Birmingham centre?
