I'll have those Pete, happy to pay your asking price, can you PM details Chris

OK, sandpaper it is

Final bump before the sandpaper comes out....

How many reddish '66 Jazzes do you have 😄

You keep posting this bass in various guises. Last time you said it was sold?

OK, need to clear the decks. I have a large number of bass-related boxed leaving by courier on Thursday, so I'll let this go for £600 plus postage (or collected) if you pay before midday tomorrow. As a few folks who've played this bass will attest, for £600 this is a LOT of bass for the money. If it doesn't sell at this price I'm going to keep it, strip the body (the grain in the pics of the body in Billy Apple's build thread looked quite nice), strip down the neck and go for a real worn in feel for this bass. Chris

Bump, either this or the Tokai are going, I'll let the BC marketplace decide! Chris

Well, I bought this a few months back and have'nt really opened it up so to speak, in fact I've only used it with Markass, albeit nice Markbass (TTE 500). Yesterday I had the sheer pleasure of plugging in to a VERY nice Ampeg and what a revelation the T V Jones PUP proved to be, a stunning tone and everything from thumpy Motown to surprisingly Jazz/Ray slap. The whole instrument, being both VERY light and extremely well built, simply sings, it's almost like it really enjoys doing it! Why am I selling? I really don't like the way it looks, to my eye it's like on of those cars in the cover of ZZTop's Eliminator, an uncomfortable and unsuccessful blend of retro and modern. However, I'm now thinking that this could be overcome with either some psychotherapy on my part or a little structural work on the bass, which compared to my FCS '55 Precision just feels too new and pristine. Either way, if you want this bass, jump now before I change my mind about selling it. Chris

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1426283028' post='2716676'] A grand trade value? With the original and Status neck? Seriously?? Has to be worth more than that. At least stick to your trading guns though, don't sell it that cheap for cash whatever you do! [/quote] Why, no logic there at all? Most folks at present are selling for cash as there are a lot of bills to pay this time of year. Trade only means you need to find the owner of a good PBass who also wants a stingray, as opposed to the seller of a good PBass. The latter's a far bigger pond. Best bet, sell the bass in original configuration and the neck separately for a total of £1200 and buy one of the '77s on here at present. C

Sell it and have your choice of Precisions, trade only means you end up with very limited choice of Precisions, especially given the number of good Precisions that are out there for sale only at present. I'll give you a grand for your 'ray for sure C

All sold, thanks all Chris

Mini CMD and 121 cab sold, TTE500/Compact and AC101 still available Chris

I've had a lot of trade offers but not really anything I need. I have a few things that at present I could use the money on, so I will consider cash offers on this bass Chris

I’ve had a good long rethink about what I need in amplification terms and I’ve decided that Markbass no longer figure. Don't get me wrong, I think the gear is outstanding, it’s just that – somewhat ironically - I’ve found myself investing heavily in lightweight gear at a time at which I suspect that my gigging days are over, and one at which I want to focus my musical energies towards writing and recording. So, despite the gear in question all being relatively recent acquisitions, I am letting it all go, plus a couple of other items also. I’ve listed every item cheap because I’m not going to haggle and am not looking for trades of PX. I’m happy to put any or all items into very secure packaging and post anywhere in the UK but for a number of reasons – including both voltage issues and two recent transactions that have left me feeling rather jaded – I will not send outside of the UK. Please don't ask for trades or overseas postage. There are pics of each in the links but I will add detailed pics as and when I can take them. All gear is in VERY good condition and has been well looked after. First up Mini CMD 121P and the matching New York 121 cab, both in covers. Recent, in fact very recent purchase from Spongebob here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/256384-markbass-rig-121p-new-york-121-cab-sold/page__p__2698457__hl__markbass__fromsearch__1#entry2698457"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2698457[/url]. I paid £600 which was a bargain, that’s what I’m asking. Postage on top. [b][u]SOLD[/u][/b] Second Markbass AC 101 Acoustic Bass amplifier [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=73"]http://www.markbass....etail.php?id=73[/url], absolutely great for DB and actually not bad for electric (I assume great for acoustic bass also). Also does a fine job with mandolin and guitar. These go for close to a grand when you can find them [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/mark-bass-ac-101/28694"]http://www.gak.co.uk...ss-ac-101/28694[/url]. £350 plus postage And last but not least…. Markbass TTE500 in gigbag paired with a Barefaced Compact in a rather fetching vintage outfit. This has been my main gigging rig and is lovely, light as a feather (can carry head in left hand, cab in right and bass on back with utmost of ease). Loud and light with some lovely tones. Bought from Stu (onehappybunny) on here a year or so back for a grand [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/241333-sold-mark-bass-tte500-custom-barefaced-compact/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url], selling for £800 for the two or £450 each (plus postage). Please, no offers, the above prices are very good. It’s all Italian by the way Chris

Will consider trades/PXs (with cash either way as appropriate). Looking at present for [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fender Strats, Gibson Mandolins and Yamaha SV electric violins.[/font][/color]

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1425599092' post='2709063'] Seriously are we not even allowed to write the word Rickenbacker any more? Edit: just re-read the rules. 😊 [/quote] Complex these days isn't it!
