I'd put it in a cash ISA and buy a Westone

Epi T-Bird Pro IV Natural with Epi case
Paul S replied to Nibody's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I had an Epi T Bird pro IV and the standard Epi T Bird case fitted it like a glove. Sadly it didn't make me and slimmer of better looking so I moved it on. Great bass mind. -
And another bump for this sparkly spangle. -
Like others have said - if you would post it I'll have it immediately. It's no bother - get a box, or make one from bits, arrange for it to be collected. -

I like the B2A so much I recently bought a Hohner B Bass which is, effectively, one of these but with a body and headstock. Sounds just the same, hangs slightly better (but is heavier).

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1333393081' post='1601135'] I've had a fair bit of stuff and the outstanding cabs for me were the V-Type ones- 4x12" and 2x15" (the square one as opposed to the tall one) The best amp by a country mile was the Mk V AH150. Don't let the lack of watts put you off. Remember that these areTrace watts. [/quote] +100 I had the MkV AH-250 and when I took it in to the local Trace Elliot approved repairers they sort of stood back in admiration and sighed, muttering things like - 'Best amp they ever made' ' built like tanks, these'. As long as your back is sound - head weighed 22kg, which is more than my entire rig now!

Another Bareface endorser here. Compact is superb. Midget is awesome. Compact + Midget is cab Nirvana.

I do this exact thing with a Hohner B2ABD - ever since I broke a string I take it to every gig as a back-up for all the reasons you mention. Also useful for very small stages. And I have been known to use it as my bass of choice for a whole gig now and then as they sound immense - somehow just exactly like a P. bass. You should be able to pick a decent one up for under £300. Didn't the guy from Journey use a Steinberger? They were a bit of a rock band. Status double ball end strings aren't that expensive, btw. Edit - yes the odd conundrum that it is small with no head yet it hangs so that the end of the head is a bit of a stretch - and has a 2 octave neck as well. All takes a bit of getting used to but well worth it. Great basses I reckon. I've had 3 - each time I sold one I missed it and got another one - not doing that again and just keep this one.
-
I have 2 - brilliant. Brings a bass alive.

Mike bought my SGC Nanyo in the simplest of transactions to take his 'SGC Nanyo Hockey Cokey' to the next stage. Good comms, no BS, immediate payment, I would not hesitate to deal with him again. Enjoy the bass, Mike!

SOLD: Ernie Ball Musicman Sterling, Black with rosewood neck
Paul S replied to Ethers's topic in Basses For Sale
[s]Are you able to weigh this fairly accurately, please?[/s] Just noticed it says sold in the title . -
I've bought instruments and other stuff from the For Sale here several times (my feedback was a hot topic a while back - sad, isn't it!), eBay several times, and never had a problem with PayPal or bank transfer or, if convenient, cash on collection/meeting up. I feel trading on here is particualrly safe but with eBay alwasy check out someone's feedback as thoroughly as possible before committing to a decent amount of cash. Nothing in life is risk free, you just do what you can to mitigate it.

A little, maybe, tontdoch - I bought one and answered my own question. And, yes, the Thunder Jet is nice and lightweight at around 8lbs. Pantera is around 9.5lbs, I discovered. 3 kilos is very light, though! What are the Dano longscale like?
-
Sold my Yamaha RBX800E to Jim, managed to deliver it as I happened to be passing. Cash was waiting. Smooth and easy transaction, good comms thoughout. Only spoilt by the A2 on the way home! Enjoy the bass, Jim!
-
For sure. I will be like a proud father when I get this bad boy home!

Here are a couple. [attachment=103904:pantera1.jpg][attachment=103905:pantera2.jpg] More info about the model here at the Westone site: [url="http://www.westone.info/x790.html"]http://www.westone.info/x790.html[/url] Edit - here's a link to a catalogue page [url="http://www.westone.info/cats/86pantera/06.html"]http://www.westone.info/cats/86pantera/06.html[/url] Nice, innit!

Far from downgrading what you have, maybe consider additionally buying extra cheaper kit so you always have the choice...
-
Actually, it won't be until June but I have shaken on a deal to get one and will be picking it up from a guy in Holland when I travel there later this year. I am a big Westone bass fan and this is arguably the finest model they ever made. Possibly a little on the heavy side, but I don't care. Nothing else to say other than I wanted to share a bit of spectacularly good news with people who may understand why I am smiling.
-
At risk of becoming totally predictable I would say that a Westone Thunder 1A is, for my taste, the best bass you can buy for under £150. I also recently bought a Peavey Fury II for £77 on eBay and it is rather nice. A notch or two up on the Milestone III I had a few years ago.
-
Both basses now sold bar the shouting. Thanks!
-
Martin - thank you. For the weight and the review, which I had not read before. What you have written just about clinches it for me, in fact I am now struggling to stop myself trawling the net to find one!
-
Well, the SB14 is basswood which, with the smaller contoured body, should work out under 9lbs - I have seen no actual figures for this but would imagine it to be so. The Ray34 makes an issue out of its 'lightweight ash body' so I guess it is different to standard. Anyway, I will give one a try at some point. Thanks again.

SGC Nanyo pics - difficult to photograph black basses, especially against a window... rushed it, shaky hands, no tripod etc Anyway, this has no issues other than the funny arrangement with the knobs working backwards. [attachment=103766:sgc1.jpg][attachment=103767:sgc2.jpg][attachment=103768:sgc3.jpg][attachment=103769:sgc4.jpg][attachment=103770:sgc5.jpg] Yamaha pics. tried to get the neck by looking down it but impossible, tried to show a few cracks in the finish around the knobs that don't seem to go any deeper. Also tried to capture the pearlescent finish buit of course couldn't. It really is multi-coloured, which makes touching up a problem I am sure. Anyway.

Well, both 'on hold' pending pics etc, which I will sort out later hopefully.
