[quote name='giblett123' post='837899' date='May 15 2010, 08:48 AM']I was really pleasantly surprised by it as it was one I hadn't originally considered, a very ballsy useable sound, also a really easy player, I'd hold on to it but I've got a new Shuker coming in so need to free up some cash.[/quote]


I tried this bass last week, and it's an absolute cracker ! Very playable and in superb condition.
I can also vouch for Chris as being one of the best to deal with.

Andy bought a set of elixirs from me. Good transaction, good communications, nice guy. A pleasure to deal with

[quote name='AndyBavington' post='821837' date='Apr 28 2010, 01:20 PM']Few fretless electric basses are as flat-out cool or have as much powerful tone as the Music Man StingRay. Introduced in 1976, the StingRay was the first bass guitar to feature active electronics and advancements such as a 6-bolt neck joint, contoured body, superior neck truss-rod system, and rock-solid bridge, all of which keep it on top of the pack. The StingRay is constructed with a select natural hardwood body w/ black scratchplate, unlined Pau-Ferro neck, Schaller BM tuners, 2-band active EQ, and a MusicMan humbucking pickup.



Collection from London is preferred but am open to meet half way if outside. Message me with any questions.[/quote]

[quote name='Stag' post='810211' date='Apr 18 2010, 12:14 PM']Best colour for Rics IMO... good luck, I imagine this wont be here for long...[/quote]

Absolutely +1 . Fireglow, love it, utterly iconic, Rickenbacker produce special colours (said to be 'limited editions') each year and because people and dealers see them as new 'collectibles', they ask silly prices, but they dont play any better. The Fireglow however, goes on and on. This is the classic colour that looks so spectacular on stage. (OK....rant over.....I just hate new collectables.....sorry ......I'll shut up now.....promise)

Nice to see it going for a very good price . Grab it while you can !

Bump for a Classic

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='806394' date='Apr 14 2010, 07:10 PM']No worries, I'm not desperate to part with it. [/quote]

Would you include the kettle ? might clinch the sale...........

[quote name='Veils' post='806017' date='Apr 14 2010, 01:32 PM']I'm too late to get any but I might pm you for the hell of it[/quote]

Phew, got in just in time !

Many thanks for offering these

Bump again, and change of title as these are Status strings.
£13 posted must be good and I'll accept Paypal on these.

Hi Joachim.

A warm welcome to basschat !

There quite a few things we would like to know.

1. Which model is it , an SB-2 ?
2. Could we have some pictures of the front , headstock and metalwork please ?
3. Does it have a case
4) Is it the UK ?
5) How heavy is it - G&Ls can be sometimes a little heavy.

Sorry for asking all these questions in one post, but they are the sort of things most people might want to know, and will help sell your bass.

Good luck !

Bump

ON HOLD sale pending

Another set of strings I bought and never used ! These are Status hex core roundwounds double ball ends. Completely unused. From Status these cost £22.31 incl VAT

I guess £13.00 posted in the UK will be a bargain for someone.

[attachment=46919:Hot_wires.JPG]

Another legacy item from my string box.

These are as new. I remember mounting them on a P-bass and removing them after about 10 minutes - soft feeling slick strings but sounded too different to my normal elites for my liking. They are the Polyweb type, not the later Nanoweb. Cost me £24.95 at the time.

£12.00 posted within the UK.

SOLD. Thanks Matt !

[quote name='Beedster' post='800774' date='Apr 9 2010, 12:43 PM']I'll have the set please, can you PM payment details

Chris[/quote]

This set now ON HOLD for Chris.

Singles still available

[quote name='theosd' post='800957' date='Apr 9 2010, 03:25 PM']sh*t! Lol.

Strings sell faster here than anything else!![/quote]

They do. This set now ON HOLD for El Capitain

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='800800' date='Apr 9 2010, 01:08 PM']Shame my set hadn't arrived this morning as I'd have probably had the full set and the singles off you.. need to see how they'd fit the Bolin. [/quote]

From the other posts, I can see you've had fun finding strings for your Bolin. See how you go with the first set, and the we can discuss the singles if you feel they are the strings for you-hoo.

PS Hope you got my mail saying they were being posted today. If not, my apologies.

Set of Rotos for 5 string bass. New and completely unused. I think I bought them last year.

£13 posted in UK

[attachment=46804:P4070015.JPG]

After the initial deluge of requests Ive got only one set left. The outer sleeves of this set are tatty, but each string is in a cellophane inner and is the same unused condition as before. I'll throw in a loose extra 1st , if anyone wants this set.

£16.50 posted to UK, as before


Also have a few singles at £3.50 each : 2x1st, 2nd, 4x3rd or £17.50 the lot posted

[quote name='BassBod' post='799189' date='Apr 7 2010, 08:35 PM']I'd guess those are Picato's from the early 70's???[/quote]


They say BMS strings on them. Thats all I can find

Fastest response ever.....NOW ON HOLD for deaver.

Archaeological find from my cupboard. Black flatwounds. Unused, (never mounted on a bass), in original packaging, and the strings inside appear to be in excellent condition.

Suspect these strings are from a long time ago (....anyone date them ?)

£6.50 posted in the UK anyone ?

PS I've suffered for many years as an inveterate hoader, keeping things 'just in case'. Anotherdig has unearthed other sets of bass strings, some new , some ancient. I'll post them here when I get the time.

My goodness ! I'm obviously selling 'em too cheap ! ....now form an orderly queue please..........
I'll PM everyone who's asked, and distribute on a first come first served basis.....

Having a clearout of my cupboards and I came across a few sets of these. They are unused, and I've had them in store for many years, but they've been kept warm and dry and the strings seem to be in perfect condition, although packets are a little crumpled.

They retail for £38-£43, so I thought £16.50 a set (postage included) would be a good bargain for anyone wanting to try these classic strings.
