[quote name='bassman2790' post='512934' date='Jun 13 2009, 06:51 PM']Hmmmmm....tempting. I miss my old 5 string[/quote] Mark, I'm thinking of selling it if you want it back. Great basses have a bump.

Ain't no doubt Jimmy Nail. A certain Mr Pratt, I believe, was responsible for this bassline. Terrible song but one of those basslines you just have to learn...

Updated. Please see initial post. Thanks. -
[quote name='dannybuoy' post='490018' date='May 16 2009, 06:25 PM']Tempted... I've been looking for a cheap but decent 5er. Can you tell me what it's strung with and give us a quote for postage?[/quote] I don't know what its strung with TBH as they were put on new by Mark when I had it. They haven't had much use either. I reckon it'll cost about a tenner to post in the UK This is the best 5 I have ever had but I just don't use it.

I had this in a trade from fellow BC'er bassman2790 a few months ago. Its a lovely bass to play (Marks' set ups are very nice and low) and sounds very very nice but having used it only at rehearsal I have realized that having gone back to four strings a few years ago I really don't need 5 anymore. I would rather sell this then trade but let me know what you have basses, effects possibly a cab of some description I'll see what you have. I will post if required at buyers expense but prefer meeting or collection. Selling price somewhere around £130. Thanks Here are the obligatory on the bed shots. [color="#FF0000"]***Just been invited to join a new project where this may come in handy and having spent the afternoon noodling it just plays so nicely, i'll hang on to it a little longer.*** Thanks for any interest.[/color]

[quote name='rogerio_paulo67' post='485382' date='May 11 2009, 10:14 PM']i tryed the zoom....its fast chaging patchs, soooo clean sound (no noise) , the factory patchs are very good, from distorsion, octaves , and a mix of sounds that i do not know how to drescribe !! all right sounds for a bass, plus strange sounds if you prefer synth bass. the Pedal have some direct knobs access , for EQ,, etc... i always think about Boss pedals...but the zoom is amazing..!! its 24bit converter..but inside its a 32bit !!! well the bass did not sound digital , was a nice time when i tried..did not wanted to leave the shop LOL....you can read the manual at Zoom site , just to see how it is easy to use!! [url="http://www.makemusicnews.com"]Some News for Musicians[/url] .,m[/quote] Thanks for that. I'm hoping to get round to trying one soon...

Mark, This is a lovely bass and if I had a bit of spare cash I would have it back. Good luck with selling it. Folkes this is a really nice bass to play and it sounds great. Mark is a great chap to deal with too.. -
[quote name='bassoctopus' post='468630' date='Apr 21 2009, 03:10 PM']Original for sale thread with pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15760&hl=vintage+fretless"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...intage+fretless[/url] BTW the bass is now strung with Warwick red label roundwounds - flats chew up my fingers - which are marking the fretboard a bit. I wouldn't worry about it for £60 TBH. You can put flats back on if that's your preference.[/quote] PM'd. I'll have it...

[quote name='bassoctopus' post='468535' date='Apr 21 2009, 02:17 PM']I bought this on here a while ago from Marcus. I've since found that I'm no Pino Palladino and I need a cheap 5 string as a spare for gigs so it's got to go. Natural wood - it's quite a dark Bubinga type wood. Active electronics. Sounds and plays pretty well. Side of the nut is cracked but doesn't effect playability. £60 + postage. Which IIRC is what I paid for it Or even better trade me for a cheap 5 string. You won't get a better fretless for £60.[/quote] Got any PICS? I may be interested in a cheap fretless Cheers

[quote name='SammyDamacy' post='465688' date='Apr 17 2009, 11:47 PM'](although the BB is so much sex I fear for my poor bass) EDIT - You obviously joined way before me, so quoting MB1, I'll just get my coat.......[/quote] It's nice but that bookmatched Burr Madrone still does it for me Sam...and blue LEDS...more expensive mmmmm The BB is one sexy bass though.

[quote name='bassman2790' post='461661' date='Apr 13 2009, 10:30 PM']It'd be interesting to hear another player through my rig to see if it was me. I have experimented with different techniques over the years and tried playing in different positions. I think that the clinical cleanliness of the Trace may just be too clean for me.[/quote] Mark, That can be arranged if you want me to pop round. By the way, I thought your bass sound was very nice at The Mitre.
-
EDIT - Pics added, hope Craig doesn't mind me re-using his pics, he did a sterling job! [/quote] Sam, I can't believe you're letting this go. No probs using the pics and good luck getting what you want. I can confirm that this is a beast of a bass and very very nice to play.

[quote name='Twigman' post='450338' date='Mar 31 2009, 10:43 AM']What backlash? I agree 100%[/quote] Thanks. I'm sure some won't.

I have a new MIA Jazz that I love, a CIJ P (with Wizard Thumpers) that I love and a Lakland BG P (with Lindy Fralin's) that is awasome. They all offer me something different IMO. But if i [i]HAD[/i] to keep one only it would be the Jazz. I don't get the 'P has One sound' though. Ok, its never going to have the variation of certain other basses with loads of EQ but you can get a fair amount of tone from a P by a twist of the tone pot and moving your right hand to play near the bridge/neck. Sit back and wait for the backlash!!!

[quote name='Ray' post='436039' date='Mar 16 2009, 01:15 PM']I also got a lower action with the standard Fender bridge.[/quote] I found the exact same problem on my CIJ P bass. Plus i could hear no real noticiable difference.

My policy is now a NO Loaning one. I dont even allow support acts to use my rig..........should it blow, then my gig is knackered. It seems hard to tell people but Ive never turned up for a gig without gear and never would expect to use other rigs, I know my tone and carry my gear accordingly. [/quote] +1 Harsh to some but my policy too.

1 Tribute. The Undercover Police and 1 Original. The Mechanical Hearts Would like more...A bit bass hungry at the moment

That is BEAutiful. I take it you have already sold your nearest and dearest? Good luck with the sale. If I had the money I would have this.
