I know he is a solder mate for us slappers out there ..... you get the usual comments like.... oh its the polish "Mark King" etc etc ... but he does put in the effort... Usually the finger puckers get all the galm .... with their shiney basses and all.... ) Never get tired of the slap sound.... ....never ... [quote name='Rayman' post='577697' date='Aug 22 2009, 05:38 PM']Saw him at Bass Day 1 in Manchester. He came on towards the end of a looooong day of bass, when most of us, to be honest, had heard enough, and blew us all away, he was brilliant. I have to add though, that by the end of his set, 20/30 mins or so, I really had heard enough slap to last me a lifetime.[/quote]

As far as I recall it has always been around 20% or a bit less. 35% is taking the mick.... look else where sell it yourself you will save a ton of cash.. jz [quote name='bassaussie' post='562159' date='Aug 6 2009, 06:53 PM']I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what sort of commission rates UK stores charge for the sale of instruments on consignment. I made an enquiry today with a fairly well known store, and was a bit shocked when the rate came back at something like 35% of the sale price!! Is that typical?[/quote]

I am looking at getting another Conklin a new one this time. ..... I just sold the Fretless..... Damm I miss it. Jazz [quote name='guyl' post='549726' date='Jul 24 2009, 08:23 AM']I owned Finbar's sidewinder from new - more than 10 years. In terms of tone, it is totally amazing. It was big and not light, but still very playable. Looks-wise it was a head-turner - stunning! If I hadn't blown all he gave me for it, I'd probably have it back today. If I ever found a conklin that was identical in sound and playability, but maybe a bit lighter with one or two less strings, I suspect I'd be looking at a "perfect bass" (for me). Has anyone here ever commissioned a new Conklin?[/quote]
