  1. How about getting a Hohner B2A as a hop in the right direction. It might cover 99% of your desires - and if you find it's the tone and brand you are after, rather than the design and portability - then you can sell it for what you paid for it and then buy the L2 with confidence?
  2. Too many knobs and switches - sell it and buy the Jazz. :-)
  3. I just sold 2 (fretless jazz and yamaha bb 5) - to buy 1 (Warwick Thumb) - but still have 4 others, plus an EUB, an electro acoustic and a Ashbury. I am not sure I could live with just one. I need a 4, a 5, a fretless and an acoustic - at least. Plus I could never sell my EB MM - and I need a Fender Jazz.. so what to do...
  4. After suffering from Sandberg lust for many months I decided to take my anger out on my old (2004) Fender Jazz..... it now looks like this. The small rock on the right was the culprit.
  5. Just sold my lovely bb615 to Dave who drove over to my place to pick it up. Lovely guy, a pleasure to do business with!
  6. New BBs are great bases, solid - big sound. Booming lows from the low B and bright highs on the G... you are only around the corner... :-)
  7. Price is now coming down... slowly. £225 and this beast is yours!
  8. I think you sound great! It's not like you are playing 4 to the bar and always miles away.... try listening to this one from Victor - all about getting with the pulse. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRmiTta995o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRmiTta995o[/url]
  9. Depends on 2 factors; 1. How likely is the 1st person offering a delayed payment to default, or not honour the payment 2. How much do you really need the money now. If the answer to 1 is not likely and 2 is not really - then I would go with £1000 now and £800 later. If the guy is likely (or possibly) to not make the £800 payment or you need the money now - then I would take the £1650 now.
  10. Westone Thunder was my 1st ever bass... borrow from my music teacher at school. Fond memories! :-)
  11. My jazz is now sold and on its way to sunny Leyland - now; the Yamaha needs a new home. Roll up roll up - a beautiful 5-string active bass, looks great plays great sounds great - great price! These bases are now discontinued - so you can't buy a new one anymore; that means this is now RARE and VALUABLE! You wanna be cool like Tony Kanal or Billy Sheehan or Paul McCartney? Then you need some Yamaha bb in your life. :-)
  12. I just sold my beloved Fender Jazz Fretless to Andy - no hassle, no haggle and the money arrived promptly as promised.
  13. Not sure what to say about this - bought it back in 199? as a limiter and used for quite a few years. It's been sitting neatly in the corner for the past 15 years though since I bought a GT6-B and the time has come to find a new home. It's a simple pedal - but pretty effective, bringing a useful level of limiting; and some excitement to the sound (boosts the lows and highs?) to be honest I have no idea - it's just kinda enhances the sound... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciter_(effect) - this is what wiki has to say... So - it can be a fun toy to add to your arsenal for some more pocket change. Looking for £25 including postage. Here's some pics.
  14. Yeah - totally. Its just a labelmaker label. All my bases have names on them. :-)

  17. Just bought a LOVELY thumb bass from Alan - he even drove all the way to my house to deliver it. Great bass and great guy!
  18. It didn't originally come with a case - but I will throw a soft case into the deal if you like!
  19. You do need a 5-er... and this has the fattest B-string tone in the world - EVAR!
  20. Hi there - I am based just south of Reading - in Yateley.
  21. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  22. Quickest sale ever. Sold pending funds trx.
  23. Up for grabs is my old Boss OC2 Octave pedal. Bought new in 1995 (just checked the serial number and this is what it shows) - but not really used much. I have a Boss GT6-B and that really does 99% of what I need most of the time... Just bought a new bass and need to balace the books... Prices for these seem to be all over the place - and ebay has many going at £100+ So - you can have my beautiful boxed one for a mere £65 + postage.
