[quote name='The Burpster' post='35094' date='Jul 21 2007, 08:26 AM']You wish......! Seriously tho' ,when I bought mine there was 3 on the go on ebay all in Ingerland..... mine another black 112 and a black 115. I guess they're a bit like busses....... It is worth being patient for..... I've just emailled the owner of the other 112 to see if he still has it for you!!!! Keep your fingres x-ed, today might be your lucky day![/quote] Sweet thanks alot.

[quote name='The Burpster' post='34891' date='Jul 20 2007, 07:42 PM']Mine was mintier than an unopened box of Matchmakers and was sent to me in its original Mesa shipping box..... I believe I was lucky..... It was from a a very pleasent chap on eBay who had ordered it (waited 10 months for it to arrive) kept and used it for recording for 6 months and then sold it to me because he was Moving out of his folks to buy his own flat...... Actaully the more I think about it I was really in the right place at the right time..... Cost him 1425 with the custom options...... Needless to say it has a very loving home now......... :wub: Hey Homer, happy birthday dude !!!![/quote] Thats a deal and a half isn't it. You should spread the love and sell it to me

[quote name='The Burpster' post='34737' date='Jul 20 2007, 03:32 PM']FYI I paid 800 for mine 6 months old and a special order to boot........ Remember thats 800 for a head and cab (2nd hand)...... The cheapest you'll get one new is £1150. Cant comment on teh Little mark as I haven't tried it..... I can tell you it wont have 2 12AX7's driving the pre-amp........ [/quote] Was that private or from a shop? I just saw the special order options - wow.

Thanks a lot guys, 800 secondhand doesn't sound all that bad, I think I'd go for that if I found one. I think I should go and have another listen to the Little Mark.

Ok guys help me out with some advice. I’m looking at upgrading my amplifier; currently I have a Trace Elliot 715 (the old style). It’s a heavy beast though and I don’t have a car (live in Central London), meaning taxis and tubes everywhere. I’ve been getting more annoyed at turning up for rehearsals and using broken old amp heads and carting tha thing up and down flights of stairs. Plus I've always had that amp and it might be time for a change. So I thought about buying a Superfly, and just using whatever cabs are around. Or perhaps a Little Mark. Then I got thinking if I was going to do that I might as well but some very light cabs to go with. So basically, my requirement is, very light and I mean: wouldn’t be that bad on the Tube at rush hour with just a head and a bass. Modular, so that I could split the thing up when needed. It wouldn’t need to be that loud, as long as it can compete over a drum kit. So, finally after starting out looking at the cheap options, I ended up looking at a Mesa walkabout. To be honest the amp is probably a lot better than my playing deserves but I’m a great believer in buying the right thing first time and not having to upgrade later. It would be at the higher end of my budget and then some. But it seems to tick all the boxes. What do people think? I play blues and “post-punk” and have been playing on and off for about 4 years.

G&L Asat

[quote name='dub_junkie' post='29894' date='Jul 10 2007, 06:04 PM']the #8 neck is a peach but its not going to be on an L2500. I cant speak about the build quality,action,fit and finish on the Tribute models but the electronics are the same as those on the USA ASAT/L2k and 2500 and they really are great-the permutations are mind boggling but easy to get round.In passive mode with the middle switch in series and the front one on neck pickup it does a great P-bass,likewise I can get close to the sounds of a Jazz and a Stingray with a couple of switch throws.another feature is the fact that if your battery goes down it plays fine in passive mode.I think the G&L passive treble and bass system is neat too and I like the fact you can lock up the hefty saddles within the big meaty bridge once set. and imo the G&L MFD pickups sound more full on and ballsy than just about any others I've heard I know that nig on these boards has both a L2500 and an L5500 for sale if your heart desires a USA model DJ[/quote] Yeah, what he said :-)

I have a US ASAT, which has the same electronics (I think). Good range of sounds, well built, but as above, my bass is very heavy and the neck is very deep, though, not that wide (it's a #8 neck I think). I'm guessing the L2500 will be the same or similar. I love it however, the neck feels very nice to me and the weight isn't THAT bad.

[quote name='mhuk' post='28092' date='Jul 6 2007, 08:59 PM']Tax & duty, which is about 22%, is payable on the total price inc. delivery. There's some on German Ebay for a bit more: [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Hot-Wire-Music-Shop_Ken-Smith-Design-Bass_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZ1QQfsubZ3QQftidZ2QQtZkm"]shop on ebay.de[/url][/quote] Thanks, I'm going to go for this, Al Embric recommended the brand and that’s good enough for me.

[quote name='odub' post='28073' date='Jul 6 2007, 08:22 PM']How much would shipping and taxes be?[/quote] Ah posted too slow

How much would shipping and taxes be?

It's a lotto, I imported a box full of electronics, fully marked up with all proper documents on the outside, and didn't pay anything.

[quote name='krazy_olie' post='16031' date='Jun 12 2007, 08:40 AM']I'm confused [/quote] hubba hubba Back to bass! erm, it doesn't really need to be a fretless, but I've already got 2 fretted and I thought it might be a good time to learn some intonation skills. I think my new plan is to shuttle over to New York and buy something whilst I'm there and take my chances getting it back into the UK in one piece.
