Price drop to £1550 just to see what happens. If its still here in a while I think I'll keep it for this seasons gigs and to hell with 5 strings! Its too nice a bass to be hawking round for less than its worth- the sheer indignity of it! -
You have a pm russ! -
...Tea with the biscuits?
-
Another quick bump... and I'm serious about the biscuits. They'll be chocolate too. Probably digestives, but perhaps hobnobs if you're lucky!
-
Bump! Something has come up that I'm after so all offers will be seriously considered. Available for test drive in London with FREE BISCUITS!!!
-
This looks like a cracking bass- I love the worn finish! Have a bump on me -
Wow, you wait for a nice lakland to come up for sale, and then 3 come along at once! -
Still available, but have a cash deal on the horizon subsequent to the buyer selling an item. Cheers, John

Hi guys, About a month ago I was caught in heavy rain with my gig bag. Shortly after that my tuner, which was in the bag at the time, stopped working. Basically, when I try to use it there is still power from the 9v as the lights come on, but no notes register. So, its currently useful as a paper weight but not much else, and to be honest I've never even found paper weights that useful. Has anyone had a similar experience or does anyone have any recommendations for getting it fixed? I'm based in East London, and know a decent engineer in putney, but its a bit of a trek for a small piece of gear. I'd rather fix it than end up getting another one. Cheers, Johnny

Just to echo everyone else's sentiments, sorry to hear about your troubles- hope things work out and you can aim to get them all back one day soon! -
Opportunist bump for anyone missing out on Chris's Metro 4 or Kiwi's Celinder!

Thanks for the continuing interest guys, I've been offered some cracking basses so far. I should clarify that one of the reasons this is up for sale is that I am hoping to generate a bit of cash here, either through an ought right sale or through a part exchange. I don't have an exact amount in mind, but I would prefer something like a lakland skyline 5 or nice fender perhaps plus cash, rather than a straight up trade for another top end bass. So, still available, let me know what you've got! Cheers, Johnny

Thanks for all the interest, and the offers but at the moment this is still available. I think I would still prefer a cash sale outright but I will entertain all px offers too, especially for jazz 5's so keep them coming! Cheers, Johnny

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='409247' date='Feb 14 2009, 09:08 AM']I played this bass while Barrie had it. It's got that "jazz sound you always dreamed of" quality to it. An excellent instrument. Rich.[/quote] Thanks Rich, it certainly is a beauty. In fact, I gigged with it last night and am very tempted to keep it, but I think I miss having the low B- I can feel myself negotiating my lines slightly differently than I would if it was a 5, so its still available at the moment. All PM's now replied to, sorry for the delay!

Thanks for the interest, all PM's now replied to.

[quote name='slobluesine' post='407534' date='Feb 12 2009, 12:55 PM']Bill Milkowskis Biography ' The Extraordinary and Tragic Life of Jaco Pastorius' is a great read too.[/quote] +1 on that!

YES! Of course its a mixed bag- but then not everyone likes Picasso! I think the Standards Zone recording he made with Brian Melvin is woefully under listened to- there are some beautiful lines on that and some of his soloing is awesome. What's more, since he plays a load of standards you can get a feel for what he adds to tracks you're already familiar with. 'The days of wine and roses' and 'If you could see me now' are particularly good for checking out his feel and inventive comping. It came at an interesting time in his life too.

Hi guys, I picked up this beautiful bass in a trade for my Spector with Molan recently, and despite it being gorgeous in every way and serving me very well on a recent tour of Cape Town I think I'm more of a 5 string man so I'm going to have to reluctantly move this on. I hope Barrie will forgive me, and won't mind me using his photos- the original thread can be seen [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24783&hl=sadowsky&st=0"]here[/url] [attachment=20086:DSC07312.jpg] [attachment=20087:DSC07302.jpg] [attachment=20088:P1000554.JPG] [attachment=20089:P1000558.JPG] The bass is quality through and through and in excellent condition. Please note it is an NYC, not a metro, which means its been handmade in the Big Apple by the man himself, or at least someone who calls him by his first name. Its also very light and has a D tuner to boot. I don't have the original case but I can provide the gig bag in which it came to me in. Pick up preferred but shipping with a hardcase is a possibility. I'm looking for £[s]1600[/s] £1550 outright as that was the value agreed in the trade deal in which it came to me. Alternatively, I'm looking to pick up a quality jazz 5. I have my eye on something at the moment, but please let me know if anyone would be interested in a trade or part exchange of some kind. I'm based in Stepney Green, e. London, viewing is always welcome or PM me if you want any more info. Thanks, Johnny

VERY SPECIAL SPECTOR NS5 XL WATERCURED REDWOOD
JohnnyLightyear replied to greyparrot's topic in Basses For Sale
Out of interest why are you selling? This is an awesome bass and if you have a receipt for £3k+ to sell at all in this market is going to involve a massive hit- believe me, I know- I couldn't shift my NS5XL even at £1600!
