    Hi Mark This is beautiful looking instrument and it plays/sounds every bit as good as it looks! I've always liked W&T designs and this is one of their best IMHO.. Really interesting to hear your comments and Shep's observations about: "..my 'at-home-ness' on fretless that helped me gain some perspective on where I shine most as a player" as I think that's a question many of us never really get to grips with.. I'm currently debating with myself at the moment about whether i actually prefer playing and 'shine' more as a 4-string player.. Yet I've used 5 string basses consistently now for over 20 years! It must be really liberating to finally come to a decision on it.. Anyway, that's enough of me derailing your For Sale thread with my ramblings. All the best and good luck with the sale! Nik

    Now that's a real beauty! Good luck with the sale...

    It does look very cool...and as I've said before, if the quality of my Schecter Diamond P 5 string is anything to go by, it's a very good bass for the money!

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1351623413' post='1853427'] Thanks Nik I hope you're well mate, don't see you much on here these days! [/quote] Hi Nig, I'm okay though incredibly busy at work and at weekends, all of which cuts down my Basschat time sadly.. Always popping in to see what's in the For Sale threads but lately, I'm getting back into looking around the other threads, hence seeing your one.. Hope all well with you too! Nik

    [quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1351630711' post='1853566'] Right. I'm back in wet UK from a gloriously sunny and beautiful Italy! The money will be divided: 1. - Cancer Research - £250 2. - Youth Music - £60 3. - Disabled People Against Cuts - £50 Many thanks again to all those who contributed to another enjoyable day. Colin [/quote] Great outcome Colin! Thanks so much for all your hard work on this btw - it is much, much appreciated. Here's to the next one.. Nik

    Fabulous Nig; that ticks all the (musical) boxes for me - good song, great playing, and she has a lovely voice and it's always a pleasure to hear live strings! And you look as cool as ever btw! Nik

    Great thread! And really nice to see some of my favourite players mentioned.. Trevor Boulder (from his David Bowie days) Dennis Dunaway (Alice Cooper) John Gustafason (Roxy Music) Barry Adamson (Magazine) Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads) Leigh Gorman (Adam & The Ants/Bow Wow Wow) David Margen (Santana) George Murray (Bowie '75 to '80) These players and their basslines are part of my musical DNA for sure.. Have to agree also about Prince, and on that note, what about Stevie Wonder? Lastly; 51m0n - that's amazing about Joe Osbourne! I had no idea he played with these artists on these two tunes: America - Ventura Highway Art Garfunkel - I Only Have Eyes For You I love those two songs! Do you know if he played on America's 'Horse With No Name'?

    I'd play every day if I could, but I never have enough time for that to happen... When I do have time, I really like playing along to a groove on a drum machine, as loudly as possible.. but that seems to annoy other people around me for some strange reason
  11. silverfoxnik
    Ok thanks Isaac; hope all's well with you too?

    BUMP for a very nice looking bass!

    [quote name='martfitz' timestamp='1351414827' post='1850851'] This is a flipping bargain, I've had a Mk1 TRB4 for around 20 years and it's brilliant, seen off a load of other basses that I've owned. [/quote] [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1351417513' post='1850890'] Thank you, someone who recognises how good a deal this is [/quote] Absolutely! The first bass I ever bought on this forum, back in 'Bassworld' days 6 years ago, was from Peter and it was for the same amount as this is for sale now.. It was a Yamaha TRB1005 and though it was a good bass, it's nowhere near as fine a bass as this one is! So this really is a good deal.. And, as has been said many times before, Peter looks after all his gear and is a real gentleman to deal with.. So buy with confidence! GLWTS Peter! Nik

    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1351339765' post='1850275'] It's too late, baby, it's much too late. The Basschat Moderator Rapid Response team is already in the Transit, tooled up, and [i]en route[/i] ... [/quote] Good result too btw....
  15. silverfoxnik
    And the result is....?

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1350910872' post='1844914'] Eagles are nice too. [/quote] + 1 I've never liked headless basses, basses with LEDs or single-cut basses.. Sadly, I also finding myself disliking basses played/endorsed by bassists that I don't particularly like! Not a very mature or rational thought process I know, but it keeps my inner 'Victor Meldrew' happy!
  17. silverfoxnik
    Nice!
  18. silverfoxnik
    That's a great price for this bass, which deserves another Sunday morning BUMP !
  19. silverfoxnik
    These are really good basses; I had two a few years ago.. Very light, easy to play and surprisingly versatile. The asymmetrical neck makes it so comfortable, even with the 35" scale (which i don't usually get on with).. Anyway, good luck with the sale!

    [quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1350241433' post='1836267'] 9 more votes to come in before all attendees have voted. I can either wait until all have voted (which might be a long wait!) or close the poll on Wednesday 17th evening before I go away for a short break, or close it at noon on Sunday 28th after I get home. [/quote] I vote for closing it after the weekend... Have a good break by the way!

    Hi Gil, Lovely example and a very interesting modification on the original electronics! Don't see many in this colour either... Great basses IMHO and for anyone interested, I can vouch for the fact that Gil is a really good person to deal with. Good luck with the sale. Nik

    You'd better ask him!!

    Transparency's the word! (Something many stomp boxes promise, but few deliver )
