  1. Well my Flea should be played in a market, my Harlot on the streets or in the back of a Ford Mondeo and the Warmoth aggressively whilst circling a light bulb!
  2. Nice to hear from you! I'm currently at 18 basses and one on order and something has to give. I'll regret it no doubt
  3. Here is my Erle Korpus Epi Thunderbird in gloss black (not the Goth model). This bass is absolutely mint and normally retails for more than the standard or matt black models. I've relocated the front strap lock to eliminate the neck dive and as I've modded an overwater strap (with Schaller straplocks) to fit it'll be included in the sale. Yes there is an extra screw in the back of the neck where my 1st relocation attempt failed but I'll guarentee it's not an issue. £200 + P&P Next bass up for sale is my Les Evans. This may appeal to those interested in something different but not at all radical. This custom bass was made in Liverpool by a builder whose work is seldom seen. It is more than just well made, it's built like a brick shithouse while retaining real ascetic qualities (the body contours are particularly stunning). The neck is a 7 piece laminate and the pickups are Kent Armstrong running through a John East U-Retro with sweepable mid and coil switching. All hardware is top quality Schaller and the bridge is adjustable through a significant range. The bass is grey, which may sound drab but it actually works very well with the gold hardware. The neck on this bass is fairly triangular in shape and is very slim and would suit those with small hands. I've got big uns and I still find it comfortable to play. This is seriously well made instrument. So here it is, £500 + P&P Peter
  4. I'd be interested to see how you rate it alongside the MIA P. Peter
  5. This pickup has 4 wires, not sure how they function but I'm looking for £25 delivered for this quality P pickup. Peter
  6. I'm having a general sort out and up for grabs is my new BBT210S Yamaha cab, it's a 4 ohm cab rated at 250W RMS. This cab is new and failing digging it out from the back of my very 'busy' box room they look like this: [url="http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/regular/0/6/8/232068.jpg"]http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics.../6/8/232068.jpg[/url] It's a well made 2x 10" with a horn complete with a pad to adjust it. I'm looking for £200 ideally collected but I'm prepared to travel a reasonable distance/meet up. Also up for sale is a mint Laney R1 combo, specs as: Power RMS 65 Watts Inputs 2: Normal & High Equalisation Bass, Parametric Mid, Treble FX Loop(s) Yes Impedance Minimum 4 ohms Drivers 10" Celestion + Switchable Horn Cabinet Design Plywood cabinet construction. Dual Position "Kickback" Cabinet design. Rugged construction with metal corners, rubber feet, strap handle & kick proof metal grill Headphone Socket Yes Enhance Yes Compressor Switchable with "On" status light Limiter Fixed Internal DI Socket Yes: Pre EQ XLR Tuner Output Socket Yes Kick Proof Metal Grill Yes Weight 22kg Dimensions (mm) 381 x 335 x 393 I'm looking for £100 for this essentially new mini combo. Can post for reasonable amount. Peter
  7. That's really nice, I'm warming to G&L's but have basses to sell (note to self - must sell, musn't buy). I bought the 4003, good guy to deal with.
  8. As Marcus says, a cracking bass with an amazing tonal pallette. It's also a great example of Lakland's work and looks damn sexy to boot! Top price too. Peter
  9. I did a trade with cash yesterday with Marcus, my Villex Bob Glaub and his Modulus. Met in person and a very genuine fella. Great to deal with in all respects. Nice one mark. Peter
  10. I dealt with John in person the other day. A top fella, have no qualms. he also introduced me to Dave Wilson in Haltwhistle who made us all most welcome. Peter

    I've bought a fair bit of stuff from Dave over the years and its about time I gave him some +ve feedback. Speakon cable arrived and wow, brilliant and 3 times the thickness of shop offerings. Peter
  12. You Sir, have a pm. Peter
  13. Probably because that way it fitted into the routed out P pickup 'hole'. Should sound pretty meaty there too I would think?
  14. I've a strange feeling that I did put a white pearl on it at one time. Homer will testify. I think I did and I think I preferred it. Clear would look good too but I'd go white pearl, again Peter
  15. Well, I think that's the best thing 'before' sliced bread. Seriously I love the Stanley Clarke Alembics but when I look at what my ACG cost by comparison it's complete madness.
  16. Just to say that I met John and saw/heard this beatiful thru neck Warwick today. Sound guy and a real Warwick, made when they built their reputation! John is a great guy, have no qualms dealing with him.
  17. You did, a goodly amount indeed, apols for my error.
  18. There's some good basic points here. I tend to forget what I see as the obvious sometimes. I normally leave 55mm beyond the centre of the post for winding, i.e. a lot more than 20mm.
  19. Thanks Musky. I was very gentle with it as I didn't want to overload the amp. I use solid state theory I'm afraid and putting a load of half the impedance onto an amp means to me don't crank it up beyond a very small amount. I bought the amp from brycee and it's been looked after. I'm not sure if the buzzing is excessive but Oxblood's heard it and seems to think it is. I see the one mentioned here is for sale, could be a good project. Peter
  20. Err, buy it and follow the instructions and it's not difficult, get a friend to help etc Let everyone know how you get on.
  21. If you're applying more tension to the string to get rid of the buzz then the tighter string will vibrate a smaller 'volume' and not hit the frets. You may well find that if you fit a 2nd string tree and re-tune the string down to E the buzz'll return as you drop the tension again. I think that the solution mayl be in set up (neck relief and action height) and if necessary some fret dressing. How hard do you play btw, the string jumping out of the nut sounds interesting You may have a problem with the nut too. Oops re-read thread and see you've changed the nut. Peter
  22. Congratulations, you've made a sound choice you won't regret. Alan's basses look superb, are beautifully made, balance, play well and sound bloody brilliant too. Dealing with Alan, as you've already discovered is a real pleasure too. Peter
  23. Turn right at Carlisle, no problem
  24. The jazz is unfortunately off the market for the time being. I took it along to Alan's (Homer) and it was completely dead! 2 new sets of batteries and carefully checking for obvious connection issues and it's still dead. As it's only 4 1/2 months old it'll be sorted. The GPS bracket in my car broke on the way home too Peter
  25. [quote]No the amp will be destroyed.[/quote] Well, at volume low levels no destruction. Amp is noisy, will get it checked out when I find a local guru.
