    Thanks Tim, Yesterday went well thanks.. The Trace head sounds great; I've had a chance to use it today and am amazed at how loud it goes! Lovely tone too..full and rich with a lot of variety. Really enjoyed chatting with you yesterday and have to say, that's a very nice collection of basses you have there! All the best Nik

    Bought a Trace Elliot amp off Tim today in a completely hassle-free deal... As well as selling me a great sounding amp, I also had a chance to chew the fat with Tim about all things bass and also, to try our a few of his very nice basses.. That passive P Bass is a stunner btw Tim ! Very cool scratch plates too. Thanks Tim; it was an absolute pleasure dealing with and meeting you. Nik

    [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1456051506' post='2984767'] I'm amazed this is still here! I'd like to do all these mods to mine and it would cost a lot more the the seller is asking. I even prefer the colour to mine 😆 this is a bargain. [/quote] +1 This is a lot of bass for the money.. GLWTS

    [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1456082977' post='2985255'] What a monster! Epic Britishishness. [/quote] +1 Fabulous bass! Quite rare too and it looks to be in very good condition for its age. GLWTS

    Still miss my ME 50 B... I use a Zoom B3 and various other small pedals instead now, and although it's a smaller, lighter set-up for gigging etc, it's nowhere near as much fun to use! GLWTS

    [quote name='olliedf89' timestamp='1455715696' post='2981738'] Thank you Nik, very much appreciated! Always a pleasure to see you pop up on a thread! [/quote] Likewise, Ollie! Er.. Don't you mean 10.8 lbs? Nik

    [quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1455704117' post='2981541'] Top bloke, bought my Trace amp, came round with the cash and dropped off a bottle opener for me Really easy to deal with, left me with one of his amps to play through while I source a replacement, what a gent! Just one thing... Being five miles down the road I can still hear that Trace amp, turn it down a little, mate [/quote] Bloody noisy bass players!!

    I've had the pleasure of playing this bass a couple of times and it really is a fabulous instrument! Condition is every bit as good as Ollie has said it is and, to my ears at least, it sounds great too.. Very versatile and plays like a dream. Ollie's a good guy to deal with, so no problems on that score either. Suffice to say that, if you're interested in acquiring a quality, vintage, Japanese made bass, then this is probably the one for you! GLWTS

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1455656550' post='2981283'] Mick saw my plea for Status Hot Wire strings. He called Status to find out stock levels then sent me a message,also recommended them to newcomer The Hat. Upshot was Mick got 2 sets,I got 2 sets,The Hat got 1 set and Status now have sold out of them. I count at least 5 lives enriched by his actions today What a great Fella. [/quote] +1 Mick has just been helping me out with something too.. He's an absolute Gent and embodies what the Basschat community is at its very best!

    Just bought a cool little booster pedal from Dan who was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish... Great little pedal too that's in almost brand new condition, so couldn't be happier. Deal with the 'Dood' in complete confidence folks! Nik

    [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1455455187' post='2979201'] So sad. I know nothing about them but, from the brief item on BBC News, they seemed a nice, talented, group of guys. RIP. [/quote] Same for me Roger; I'd never even heard of them until now but this is such a tragic story.. Young musicians, good friends no doubt and just beginning to live their dream. Terribly sad for them, their families and friends. RIP

    Anyone mentioned Kate Bush yet? I'm thinking of 'The Dreaming',''Hounds of Love's The Ninth Wave', 'Aerial'.. All fantastic IMHO.. As are Prince's 'Purple Rain', Bowie's 'Diamond Dogs', 'Low'... And does Tubular Bells count as a concept album (if it hasn't already been mentioned)?
  15. silverfoxnik
    Very nice indeed!

    Hi Dood, I'll take the Donner Boost pedal if its still available? Thanks Nik
  17. silverfoxnik
    That's a very good price for a bass of this quality! GLWTS

    +1 This bass has just about everything desirable that a Super Jazz 5 string could and should have.. As you say, the market is crazy slow at the moment??

    Just bought an EHX pedal from Simon, which arrived in good time, perfectly packaged up and it also makes cool sounds.. So, all good! Deal with in complete confidence, folks. Thanks Simon.

    Brilliant piece of kit! Had one when they first came out over 20 years ago, but it was stolen.. We used to use in on all sorts of instruments in the studio when recording; bass, keys, guitars... It always added something different. Good luck with the sale Pat..

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1453676809' post='2961786'] Nik, that's really kind of you mate. Bottom line is that BC gives us all the opportunity to try, own, and trade in gear that otherwise many of us would never have had the chance to own, and whilst I buy and sell a lot, it's always with that in mind. If I have good gear, it's because I've bought it from other guys on here with equally good taste and expertise. I grew up in the '70s, and it took months to save enough cash to buy an awful Satellite Precision copy. I used to dream of Fenders and Musicmans until Mick Karn came along with a sound and vibe so extraordinary that the Wal thing haunted me until I had anough cash to buy one about 30 years later. Having owned the two I've had recently has been a real pleasure, almost an honour given their history and provenance, but deep down with a move to recording over live work, I just prefer good old fashioned passive single PUP instruments. But I will miss it [/quote] Very true Chris; Basschat is a kind of Alladin's Cave for gear, especially basses! I've done pretty much the same thing as you and gone back to simpler, passive basses in recent years. Spent most of last year using a Yamaha BB300 that cost me peanuts in comparison to most of the basses I've bought and sold here on BC. But I really enjoyed playing it and it sounded great. That said, this Wal looks an absolute beauty and it is tugging on a few heartstrings...

    [quote name='lapolpora' timestamp='1453669379' post='2961655'] For the few that don't know him, Beedster is a gent and a BC legend. Buy with confidence. And don't dawdle! Just pull the trigger... [/quote] +1 As I said earlier today on his Ampeg for sale thread, Chris is too generous for his own good. And here he is again, proving that fact even more vociferously.. Can only echo and underline what's already been said about Chris, he is a true gent and a Basschat legend. He also really knows his stuff, so any piece of bass gear passing through his hands will be absolutely top draw. And this very lovely Wal will be no exception!

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1453578533' post='2960795'] Ampeg B-15 Heritage £1600 collected OVNO. These are high class rigs at ludicrous prices. No trades, thanks. [/quote] Wow - That is such a good price for this rig!! Chris - you are too, too generous to the Basschat community.. Surely, this won't hang around much longer at this price? GLWTS

    Thanks.. Have set you a PM.
