  1. New bass now arrived, funds have left the bank. Hole needs to be filled. Who will buy my beautiful SWR cabinet - who will buy?
  2. As CamdenRob said - it's a bargain! Roll up roll up!
  3. Just bought a Thumb 5 b/o from Jim and it arrived today. He was a little apprehensive about posting it - but the way it was packaged I would think he was a pro and did this all the time! Seriously well packed. Took me almost 20mins to remove all the bubblewap and protective layers. He was totally up front about the condition of the bass, even pointing out some 'flaws' that most people wouldn't even notice. Price was great, bass is great, happy days.
  4. New bass arriving tomorrow so in need of some funds... If you've never tried SWR gear - what are you waiting for? If you already know SWR is awesome - what are you waiting for? :-)
  5. New bass arriving tomorrow and in need of funds... This bass would make an excellent companion for your summer travels... you know you want it...
  6. Need some cash to cover a recent purchase... bump!
  7. Looks like it.... my first bass was (is) an Ernie Ball Stingray... and I call him Ernie. :-)
  8. Up for sale is an old bass I thought I would never part with. Its the second bass I bought and my 1st fretless. Bought from a crazy dutch guy when I used to live in Holland - it's an Ibanez Fretless Jazz Bass. Can't tell you much about it's history - only that it's probably from around 76'78 (best guess) not sure if it was made Fretless or one of the owners converted it. I recently (last year) had new inlays put in as the old ones were worn (or missing) which cost around £150. Great playing bass, incredible punchy sound - lovely thin neck and quite light overall. Rare and mysterious too! Need to raise some cash for a recent purchase.... Based just sound of Reading if you want to come and see - or I will happily post as the sender's expense. Doesn't come with a hard case but I am sure I can find a soft case to include. Looking for £195 or nearest offer!
  9. Up for sale is my Boss Micro BR - mini recording studio. This little thing is awesome. Built in effects, built in drums, 4 digital tracks to record. And it looks cool! I have mostly used this as a way to practice quietly and figure bass parts out. You can load MP3s onto it and slow them down, remove the bass etc. - really useful tool! I need to raise some funds for a new bass purchase so this and a few other things have to go! It's in great condition, with a protective pouch, the manual, and the original box. Simple to use and loads of fun. Looking for £80 including postage to the UK Mainland. Or you can collect it - I live just south of Reading.
  10. For sale is one of my SWR 2x10 cabs - need to raise some funds for a newly acquired bass! I've had this for around 6-7 years and it has served me well over the years. Great sound, clear and punchy. I used to have an SWR Triad - but after I changed my car I found it didn't fit and so I replaced it with 2 of these 2x10s. I auditioned loads of cabs and the SWR was the the only one that kept the sound pure (in my opinion). These new fangled neo cabs just can't move air like the real stuff! ;-) I have it coupled with my SWR Basic 350 head and for 90% of the gigs I have played (weddings, private parties) is has been plenty loud enough. With 2 of them - it's massive. But I am only selling one... £150 and it's yours. You can collect if you like, I am close to Reading - or I will box it up and post to you - at buyer's expense. It weighs around 20kg - so including packaging maybe 25kg. Interparcel's cheapest quote is around £10!

  11. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sale is my lovely Ashbory Bass - Red with silicone rubber strings, complete with soft-case and built-in funk. Bought this around 8 years ago from the Bass Centre, but only ever played at home - never gigged. In great condition, even still has the peel-off plastic on the electrics cavity. Fretless with a lovely warm double-bass sound. I've taken this bass with me a couple of times on holiday, the case is no bigger than a squash racket case and easily fits in an overhead locker. Just be careful not to leave a small baggie of white powder (baby powder, for the strings) in the case - customs don't like that.

    Sold

    Awesome bass - I have a 2006 BO that looks EXACTLY like this - even has the same thumb indent over the neck pickup! Weird...
  13. '61 stack knob jazz.... and a 5-string Wal. Oh, and a Sandberg 5. Maybe a fretless 6 Warwick thumb as well?
  14. All music has a groove! It's what makes it music! :-)
  15. Here's my take on it - Yeah Vic can do the pyrotechnics; but he's one damn fine groove player underneath it all. I studied with him this year at Music Camp in Nashville and the depth of knowledge this guy has is incredible. And so humble. Just a lovely, lovely guy. One night he got up with his brothers and totally nailed Superstitious like I never heard it - and 99% of what he did was just holding the groove. What you see on youtube is the 1% of the time he goes nuts to wow the crowd. Just look at this video - and compare how funky he is in the 1st 2mins with the slaptastic notefest at around 5mins. But the important thing is - he is ALWAYS holding the groove. It's always there. It's IN him. He IS the groove. Obviously I am biased - but don't write this guy off as some guy who taps and slaps. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61wuIu8AqUQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61wuIu8AqUQ[/url] and personally - I think the guy at the start of this tread is dull, unmusical and totally stiff. Where's the groove? ;-)
  16. Sold Tredders a couple of basses (though he only really one...) - easy to deal with, paid quick and even arranged courier to collect them. Buy or sell with confidence! :-)
  17. All adds to the homemade and custom nature of these beauties.. my Perception is currently strung E-C and I sorely tempted to buy another Overwater to tune B-G...
  18. Beautiful bass! Confused though - as the stamp inside says it is a Progress and not a Perception? All Progresses were thru-necks?
  19. Just been noodling with the Ibanez in front of the TV whist watching the Korean GP qualifying - such a lovely round tone. I'll miss it when it's gone...
  20. I dig. Mine has sentimental value as its the bass I bought when I turned 21 with some money I inherited. I recently picked up an Overwater Perception from here - and that really is lightweight; does most of my gigs these days... the MM stays at home to be adored.
  21. That's a lovely bass... I have a '94 in the same colour, but just 2eq. Love it - but would NEVER sell it. :-))
  22. Well, this is great! Now - someone needs to buy my Ibanez acoustic and I might stand a chance of still being married when my wife gets back tomorrow...
  23. [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Need to make some space in my music room, and after the recent purchase of a Fender Acoustic - I'm not really playing this so much. It was bought new in 2007 (I think) - but has never been gigged and has never left my music room. So, it's all as good as new. Strung with some matt black flats for a lovely upright growl. Comes complete with Dean case and swivel stand. Looking for £150 (was around £400 new I think) - I can post for around £25 but it's quite long so maybe would be better collected.
