snowed in ,bump

new year bump with amended options, mike b.

anyone sat on the fence considering going headless hopefuly this might help, my previous forays into the world of headless started with a hohner jack, than a status 4000 (196 if it's still out there) followed by a multitude of headed basses before I found my sei headless 5 original which sidelined everything else I owned, strings are no problem there is a good selection of double ball ends out there but best of all you can you use whatever type of conventional strings that take your fancy, thanks to the string clamp at the headstock , tuning stability is excellent & in confined spaces there is no headstock to poke the guitar player in the eye in confined spaces & finally they fit into standard guitar gig bags to make transportation easy (I use a fusion gig bag from mansions).In conclusion only physical disability would cause me to part with my sei, buy this before somebody else does, merry christmas to you all, mike b.

aaaaaarrrgghhhh ,if only i hadn't treated myself to the prs santana 25 anniv for christmas, you could always offer me this as a p/ex on the old matchless tho, best of luck bump for a true vision of loveliness, mike b.

pre christmas bump, have found myself a guitar amp, but would consider a "travel " size acoustic guitar or any bass related swaps or trades, mike b

I might take this as a deposit on the matchless, all the best, mike.

this is one of a pair of PA spkrs I bought some time ago,it's twin brother has been used as an ext cab to my GK 150MBS & also to various guitar amps, rated at 8ohms @ about 75w from memory, handles low B well & good all round sound with guitar or bass, dims are 520 x 380 x 300 deep, in excellent cond & cheap enough at £30, if you wan't to replace the spkr with something higher powered you would be hard pressed to make a cabinet alone for that money, Collection only from close to M5 junc 28 or during working hours I am next door to Exeter airport, mike b having trouble adding pic will try again later

Noooooh , not the lovely Rita, one of the best sounding basses I have ever owned, only the change to fives prompted the sale of the fabled bass chat bike, have fond memories of her & whoever takes her on will not be disappointed, mike b.

May accept any bass related trades as well, let me know what you have, when new this was a similar price to a top end ovation, mike b.

Another one from my old uk built guitar collection, these were made in Leicester during the 80's-90's, this one was built around 1983 before the factory was set up, far superior in my opinion to any ovation I have played, neck is wider at the nut & much less cramped, it has played a few notes in it's time so does have some mojo but neck & frets are in good condition.Solid top, ebony board, maple mahogany neck, passive piezo pickup system & an action that most electric players would die for. Shame to have this sat around unused, I value it at £350 but if you think differently feel free to make an offer, trade wise things I could use would be a 5 string fretless,baritone uke, travel size acoustic,small lightweight bass amp head, with cash either way depending what you have, guitar is not cased so collection only or may meet up at a sensible distance, happy new year all,mike b [attachment=121633:pad.jpg] [attachment=121634:pad2.jpg] [attachment=121635:pad3.jpg] [attachment=121636:pad4.jpg]

Stunning, not sure the wrinkly fingers could cope with another string tho', had a look at the old build thread but couldn't see anything on string spacing at bridge or scale length, does this use std 34" double ball strings or does it have clamps at the blunt end, mike b. ( oh no I've started drooling out of the corner of my mouth now )

on hold for the man whose wife has impeccable taste

back under the bed bump,if you have never tried one of these they do les paul as well as any gibbo I have owned or tele as well as any fender with the pickup switching options available, sadly my guitar playing days are coming to an end, so I am looking for a hardtail or acoustic to set up for slide in open tuning or an elusive thumb b/o 5er, any takers, mike b.

thought I would realist this, collection only from sunny devon, '93 eggle berlin pro in excellent order apart from some wear to gold plate on p'up surrounds, complete with oe case & tags, £650 collection only (close to june 28/M5), may px with little martin,warwick thumb 5 or tele with cash either way, could arrange a meet within 100 miles or so , mike b.

this put me back into headless mode, massive sound for a passive bass, great fun & the parts alone are worth more than the asking price bump, mikeb
