  1. I'm pleased to say that Steve is the new owner of my 120th Anniversary SG. Every step of the transaction went smoothly and I would thoroughly recommend him as a top Basschat forum member. Mike
  2. Have a bump on me - this is a cut-price entry ticket to the wonderful world of Marra ownership (or multiple ownership even!!)
  3. [quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1493117931' post='3285709'] They're well smart! Congrats [/quote] +1 Also, I like this idea of owners posting pic's of themselves bedecked with multiple Marra's - could catch on
  4. [quote name='benebass' timestamp='1492447677' post='3280322'] Hi All - I'm reluctantly putting my beautiful Maruszczyk Jake back up for sale. There's loads on the forum about how great these basses are & this one's no exception. It's a one off medium (32") scale build with a chambered body & weighs approx. 3kg (6.6lb) - probably the lightest Precision ever! The original spec was: - Jake 4p - Chambered, 32” medium scale Body Wood - Alder with lightly flamed maple top and back Neck - Maple with Rosewood fingerboard, 10” radius, 2.64/1.20mm fretwire (medium jumbo), 40mm nut width. White 3mm dots in front, matte finish, Mr. Tee (Telecaster style) headstock, 'slim C' profile (21mm at first fret, 24mm at twelfth feet) Pickups - Haussel P with passive volume & tone Hardware - Hipshot Ultralite Tuners Colour - Redburst (red with black border) gloss I had it for a while & decided I wanted a maple neck, so Adrian built one for me. The spec is the same as above, but with a 7.5" radius, the Fender-style Hipshot Ultralites & a 1.5" (38mm) nut width - like an old Jazz Bass. I've also fitted a Gotoh 201 bridge instead of the Hipshot Vintage bridge it was built with & this is a big improvement. Home use only, so really good condition. The deal is for the bass in a gig bag with both necks & I'll throw in both sets of Hipshot Ultralites. Pics: - [attachment=243258:IMG_20170417_1650407701.jpg] Here's the original sofa shot with the rosewood neck on: - [attachment=243259:JakeBass.jpg] No problem doing more photos if you want some I also found a video of Adrian playing it to demonstrate the Haussel pickup. It's strung with Status 100s in the video: - [media]http://youtu.be/h9YM7yg7Veo[/media] I have since restrung it with Ernie Ball Slinky 45-105s & it sings with rounds on! Ideally I'm looking for a cash / collection deal (I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne) for £650, which I think is a lot of bass for the price! Postage may be an option, but will have to send the spare neck separately. Cheers, B. P.S. Original sale thread is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/289364-withdrawn-maruszczyk-medium-scale-jake-4-lightest-precision-ever-possible-trade"]here[/url] [/quote] What a bargain is this - as Tome appears to have realised!!
  5. Must be time for another bump.

  8. [quote name='Sparky Mark' timestamp='1492086949' post='3277828'] Is this the same one that Kitsto sold here in January? [/quote] No, not that one.

  11. Top-quality standard-size bass case bought in error for my s-s bass (it's too big!!).

  12. We like shiny! Love that whole purply-greenish-granite-textured-mystic-night-sky thing that's going on there. Bet you couldn't do another one exactly the same.
  13. [quote name='Norm' timestamp='1491768950' post='3275275'] Did you get enough funds in to break even? [/quote] Not quite but near enough
  14. [b][i][u]2018 BASH NEWS - HALL BOOKED FOR SUNDAY APRIL 8th[/u][/i][/b][u]!![/u] OK, so it WAS hard work - but it was just TOO MUCH FUN We'll be working on making next year's event even better, so watch this space! Stephen Chown has just posted on this forum to announce that, following his acquisition of Scott Whitley's SWB-1 a while back, Retrovibe basses are now part of the Chownybass range. He told me after the Bash that the deal was done at our event!
  15. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1491502253' post='3273608'] Hang on a sec thought this was Basschat not a dating site lol [/quote]
  16. Bump - price now includes delivery to UK mainland.
  17. Hi Ellie, what a coincidence! Your name is the same as my daughter's and it's also the name I've given to my new custom s-s Maruszczyk Elwood pictured below!! Oh, and I play an SWB-1 too among other things. Just saying...
  18. Thanks Jabba - much appreciated!
  19. Yes, some mugs left too Norm - didn't mention as the message on them is not 'event-specific' and so they'll keep til next year (!?) whereas the remaining 2017 shirts obviously have a shelf-life. £5 ea + postage (tba) - pm me.
  20. Me and Mrs. Scrumpy have just done the sums for the bash and found that we're £36 out of pocket Given all the hours we put in, this hardly seems fair! We would therefore be grateful if those of you who regret not buying a commemorative T-shirt on the day (or bought one and want more) now pm me to buy the few we've got left. Available sizes (actual as measured) are: M = 40"; L = 43"; XL = 45"; 2XL = 50"; 3XL = 50". Price is £12 inc. p&p. I'll donate anything over the £36 to this wonderful forum. In addition to the pic's already posted, we've got lots of nice shots of individuals that I'll be sending them by pm over the next few days (they may wish to post them on here afterwards). In the meantime, here's 'official' photographer Scrumpy Janey's favourite - which happens to be westwood playing a Gillett electro-acoustic (although I'm not sure that he'll be wanting to share this with the members of his band!?):
  21. ...and some more! MoJoKe brought lots of lovely Mark Bas kit. This lovely little red Retrovibe Zygote floated my boat - suggested a short-scale version for me and David K's having a think about it. The Mark Bass stuff coming in during set-up time. Watch this space for more images!
  22. Next lot: MoJoKe is the first raffle-prize winner and grabs the bottle of Scotch! Tea-break time for Rich, TheRev & MoJoKe
  23. OK, here's the first set of pic's giving a flavour of the day. Loads more to follow! Woody & Dom performing open-heart surgery David Koenig of Retrovibe looks on while Zummerbass tries one of hos basses and Westwood enjoys a Gillett unplugged moment. L-R: TheRev and BassBod try out Gillett electro-acoustic basses in the Quiet Room yorks5stringer tries a Chowny SWB-1 while I tell him how much I like mine. Jabba and his beautiful basses.
