[quote name='Sercet' post='400405' date='Feb 4 2009, 08:50 PM']Was this in Denmark Street? If it's the one I am thinking of, it's been there for at least six years at that price. Prices of Shergolds do vary, but I'd say £200 to £400 for an 8.[/quote] Hi, no it was in manchester, though for reference how much is the one at denmark street please? im thinking of ringing tomorrow and trying some major haggling, not holding my breathe though.

Hi, to be honest i thought it was on the pricey side and i think YouMa's comment was the nail in the coffin. That said its definitely sparked my interest in an 8-string, can anyone recommend some other good ones?

Hi, ive just been around a few music shops today and i noticed a Shergold Marathon 8 string. Id heard about their rep so thought id give it a try and absolutely loved it, especially the sound. The question is though how much is it worth. The shop was asking £1000 and i got them down to £899 and after how nicely it played i was tempted, however it has got a fair few nocks and marks on it, granted it is a 30+ year old bass. So in short would you say it is worth that or are they charging way over its value as im not too up on the value of the basses. Looks like this but with marks, a p style pickup and obviously an extra 4 strings:

How much does that lot add up to?[/quote] Hi, wasnt that bad actually: Ampeg SVT-2 Pro - £850 posted Ampeg SVT-410HE - £275 posted Ampeg SVT-1510e - £240 posted £1365 Actually looks rather daunting totaled up, i only ever looked at it in bits :S [quote name='tombboy' post='388584' date='Jan 22 2009, 02:52 PM']Gorgeous! Call me when you need a good chiropractor!!! [/quote] lol, it may be rather soon, i was adamant that id carry the 1510e from the woman it was delivered to across the road on my own then it was an awfully long way to hoist the svt-2 pro up to.. i did however maintain my male pride

Absolutely great guy, cannot recommend enough. The cab arrived excellently packed and got it to me on my day off as promised. Really goes the extra mile!!!

Hi, i think the second hand market is definitely what id love to see, but i think you would also need a good web side to the business to support it. I was amazed when i was ringing around looking for my new amp head the stock people had in, however unless i knew specifically what i was looking for i would have no interest in ringing around again, i like it there on a website, with some good pictures to see exactly what its like. As for prices i dont think you need to compete with the internet, id prefer to buy from a store if i could simply because i trust it more and its nice to know you have somewhere to go and someone to talk to if something goes wrong. I havnt read the full thread so i dont know if anyones mentioned this, but i think effects would heavily be worth considering, as there are very few places i can think of with a impressive stock of them ready to try. Also possibly explore the more techy side of music, particularly the audio interfaces as more and more people seem to be more interested in pc recording but many think that toneport is a god and theres nothing else out there.

When i saw it on the background i was amazed and then when i saw it was for sale, it was nearly too much. If i wasn't having one custom made i would have snapped it up the second it came on the site, personally i think you should do me a favor and buy it

Hi, just to add to your growing list of makes both eden and ampeg make 4 ohm cabs.
