  1. Hi Bjorn, Unfortunately not, but shipping to London could be an answer? Cheers Stuart
  2. used to be mine this, great lightweight, punchy bass!
  3. Easter Sunday Bump for a bargain!
  4. Couldn't quite do that I am afraid as postage will be £25 via courier, but would be happy to meet in the middle, say £340 delivered to mainland UK?
  5. they are quite incredible basses, well kept secrets! I bought a few MTD's on the strength of this bass only to find they aren't a patch on it. Real quality, it's only 'cos I fancy something else and I have another of these.
  6. This is a great instrument, and I have two of them, and I am lusting after something else so thought I would offer this up. These are Czech made, very high quality, lightweight basses, assymetric neck, zero fret, Bartolini equipped and very playable. Few dings here and there, but overall good condition, plays and sounds great.

  7. Hi All, Some ATK300's have the spoke adjuster, some have the adjustment at the headstock, do some have a scratchplate with no cutout and a conventional allen key adjuster? Cheers Stuart
  8. action could be better, and the tone is a little small.... but you know you want it...
  9. Hi All, Had this a while, really nice scale model of a Warwick Streamer, beautifully made, cool bit of kit. I think they used these as displays in music shops. This one comes with original box, perfect scale gigbag and stand. Only minor issue is one of the tiny bits of wood that make a saddle is missing, super easy to replace, i never bothered.

    Sold a Tobias to Charlie, great comms, nice easy transaction, top bloke to deal with!
  11. I have had sr500's, 700's, 900's and the 740 is by far he best, they are very, very good.......sorry!
  12. I have a 740 and it is a wonderful instrument, great range!
  13. Thanks all for interest, now on the bay, mods please remove if necessary! (don't know the form here)
  14. Kudos to you Pete, I lost a friend to alcohol and saw what it did to his family. so good for you and I am so pleased you are back from the brink.
  15. cheers, they are great instruments, have a 5 string fretted I may be selling too!
  16. Hi All, Fab sounding fretless, this has at some point in it's life been defretted and it plays really nicely and has a great fretless sound to it. As you all know these are great sounding basses with Stingray on tap and more.

  18. Thanks my friend (and noted about son!)
  19. Hi All, Recently acquired a lovely old Nightingale bass, sounds fab, but in setting it up I found an issue with the truss rod adjuster. Some time in it's history someone has chewed the allen head on the adjuster, it is brass. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_3007_zps0im8g9ff.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/vmaxblues/IMG_3007_zps0im8g9ff.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_3008_zpskfo5e3bm.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/vmaxblues/IMG_3008_zpskfo5e3bm.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Is this a case of removing the brass nut and replacing it, assuming I can remove it? Or is this a fretboard off job? Any insights would be welcome, I am about to take it to a luthier but would be interested in your views. Cheers Stuart
  20. I got this in a trade from this very forum a while ago, and it is a super comfy bass, light and nice to play, but the same old story, not for me. See original sale thread below and read my following notes: (hope this is OK with the OP) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/263602-tobias-growler-for-sale-traded/page__p__2793332__hl__tobias%20growler__fromsearch__1#entry2793332"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2793332[/url] Since I have had it, I have had the Bartolini pickup professionally fitted and it sounds very sweet. The upshot is that the two toggle switches and one pot are there purely for show, this isn't an issue because it all works really well and I will include the other pickup as well, and this of course comes with the original hardcase. I traded this and it owes me £500 and £50 for the Bartolini, but I need to thin things out and I am not using this currently (too many basses) so I have decided to put it up for sale here priced to sell. I will put more photos up later.
  21. Zoom H2n in great fully working condition complete with box and manual. £65.00 posted to mainland UK Cheers Stuart
  22. brilliant and all so true!
  23. Some great responses guys. It isn't about the cash per se, rather it is about someone taking the pee, this guy is notoriously tight and I suspect we will do this for £200 and find the disco on £350. Charity gigs I have always done, no problem, and I did a mates party recently with my other band and me and the drummer who were mates with him took no fee but the others had their full rate. I will do it if the others want to, is the bottom line, I just don't like punters undervaluing the band, and as you say, everyone at that gig will end up knowing we charged £200, so the problem compounds. anyway, great comments guys!
