  1. [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1497632310' post='3319701'] If it's an AllParts, it should have markings to say so? [/quote] Well, it most certainly should. I have another Allparts which does have them. That being said, this neck is not really different from the other one in terms of fit and quality. Again, it was sold to me with the idea it was, and I have no way to check.
  2. Maple / rosewood, paddle headstock. Up for grabs. It was originally meant to go long ago, but that never materialised. Free if you pick it up from either central London or Islington.
  3. Hi all, I am moving to Canada and getting rid of some stuff. So, up for grabs a no-name Jazz Bass neck, maple / rosewood. It was sold to me as an AllParts, but I am not sure it is. It is, however, very nice. 125 GBP. Pics if interested! I also have a fretless jazz bass neck that I am happy to give away for free. Please see the topic in the recycling section.
  4. Price drop bump!
  5. Many thanks! It is a very nice bass, and a joy to play, but I am really looking forward to downsize. Also, moving to Canada means I will probably bring only one bass, so this needs to go.
  6. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am considering selling this beauty. This is a truly fantastic bass, of which I am probably not worthy. Reason I am selling is that [s]I might go back[/s] I have gone back to simpler five-string bolt on basses and I am moving to Canada for some time. Just can't bring it. I am not, however, fully convinced yet, and I do not have to sell it right away.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As to the rest, I bought it new in Italy some time back and I have the original semi-hard case that comes with it. Other than changing strings and setting it up with a lower action, this is as close as it comes out of the box as it gets.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pick up from London preferred. Scroll down to see me playing this beauty (some odd tapping extravaganza). Will do other pics and samples, as soon as I have time, if need be.[/font][/color] Might now consider [b]trades[/b] on this. The trade value is still £ 800 though. I could consider a Jazz Bass (provided that it is a Fender, and in the nicer series) or a Spector (provided that it is 5 strings). Cash adjustments to be discussed where needed!

  7. Also, this is how mine sounded: https://soundcloud.com/ballpointmusic/mathematics-of-paper-folding
  8. Well, Kodiak, I am not taking it after all—because I did sell one once... I give you my blessing!
  9. This is my historic bass. I might get it like now. PM'ing you soon!
  10. On hold!
  11. Well, as I said, they were quite honest: "We are obliged to advertise these units as they are not discontinued, but we cannot supply currently I'm afraid". That being said, I only discovered that because I emailed them, which is a tad unnerving.
  12. Bump! BTW, I have recently spoken to the good people ad GAK to inquire about availability of these instruments. This was their reply: [quote][color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Hello there, I would advise not placing an order for any Steinberger[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]instruments currently, we are having a lot of problems sourcing these[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]- the supplier (Gibson Europe) hasn't had any stock for many months,[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]and still can't give us any dates.

  13. As my impending, if temporary, move to Canada takes shape, I am considering getting rid of some of my earthly possessions. I bought this one from Backwater, of this parish, just for travelling and I found it extremely enjoyable. I think, however, that most airplane-friendly solution might be to just buy a new bass over there (perhaps a Dingwall, finally?) and travel light, at least one way. So here's a feeler: anybody interested, possibly in London? The bass is in excellent shape. It was in great condition, but I also levelled the frets and now it plays like a dream. I have also bought a regular string adapter, which I can include (for some extra money. Otherwise I'll just keep it and use it with another headless bass of mine.) Pics!
  14. Bump! Did I mention that it is a beauty?
  15. I am considering parting ways with this little beast. I have loved it dearly, but I do believe I am more of a Jazz bass kind of person. Since I am also moving to Canada for some time, there is little reason for me to keep it at the moment. I bought it not long ago from loremil of this parish, and it is u[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]pgraded with Hipshot Tuners, Hipshot Vintage Bridge and Nordstrand NP4a pickup (original hardware included as well).[/font][/color] It is a truly beautiful instruments. It looks, plays, and feels fantastic, but, again, I like JBs better. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am asking what I consider is a fair price. I do not think I am open to trades at the moment, but you may try your luck![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pickup from London is [u][b][i]strongly[/i][/b][/u] preferred, especially insofar as I do not have a case or a box to post it in and I'd rather not do it if I can help it at all.

    Just bought Andy's Spirit XT-25. Next day shipping, plus I've never seen anything packed so well. A true gem.
