  1. Ciao Antonio, On April 14 you 'promised' to send me a video as soon you got back in York. It feels a bit 'strange' to see you're bumping over here, while I'm still waiting for you... cheers, Ron
  2. I wish there were more people like you, Dave!
  3. Hi Dave, It's sad to read you're not enjoying playing bass, still... with a mid life crisis you buy a Harley (...or Ducati -guilty-) but you don't sell the bass that makes you will probably regret for the rest of your life everytime when you touch some other bass. I do not believe that a Stingray is going to give you that pleasure after this MTD. (no offence to the people that play this great bass, but the MTD is as I believe of a higher standard) If I may.... If you can afford it, keep it, I should say. I believe that good times always come back, but maybe in another way. So I believe you will pick up this bass again sooner or later, and than you are glad that you didn't sell this beauty. (the invitation still stands ) Cheers Ron
  4. On December 7 2011 Mark promised again to refund my money by the end of the month, but still nothing has happened... If anybody knows Mark McMillan... maybe he needs a reminder, he doesn't listen to friendly requests from me.
  5. what a beautiful piece of craftsmanship! stunning... have another bump! [size=1](too bad I can't afford it)[/size]
  6. the picture doesn't work either... (one of the other forum rules)
  7. haha I got one also, it's over 20 years old but still working fine. Indeed the hand claps stay with you! have a old fashioned but steady bump!
  8. [b]I have no intention to put out the dirty trash, but to resolve a problem[/b] I tried all kinds of communication but I cannot get in touch with Mark, he doesn't react on my e-mails on several addresses, even myspace... If somebody can help me out..[b]. please! [/b] Mark has sold me some Bartolini pick-ups but they didn't arrive, I would like to solve this, especially because the sending was insured he said, but he ignores me. Right now I have got no other choice then to get a claim via paypal... I'm [u]very[/u] disappointed it has to be in this way!! [b]Mark, if you read this: get in touch with me and let's solve this like honest people, in that case I will make a full correction on this feedback. [/b]
  9. That's sad to hear... Also a loss of a nice person with beautiful instruments.... Wish you all the best and good luck with the sale ! have a friendly bump!
  10. Thanks Mark! I appreciate your trust of doing business with someone "overseas" We had good and fast communication and worked it out fine, Mark is a straight forward person, no worries at all. Cheers! Ron
  11. Hi I got one new for € 125,- I use it with pro-tools on a Mac and am very pleased with it. It's not top, faders make some noise, but the alternative is much more expensive. have fun!

  16. [quote]QUOTE (BASIC5 @ Dec 2 2010, 07:16 AM) * Thanks guys and Miss Yorick?? Ron... that's just my avatar!!!! Nige[/quote] [b]of course I apologize !![/b]
  17. Thanks guys and Miss Yorick?? @ Daz: I like your under script, but I want the extra string for the lows, sounds much better, feel better with it. The Mike Lull is a high standard bass, like Sadowsky, or maybe Overwater. Never played on the last one, but I reckon that's a good comparison. If you have the chance to try the ML, it is just a matter of time... Cheers!
  18. Cheers! Thought it was time to make a proper introduction, after a while looking around on the forum. my name is Ron and I live in the land of dutchies. I started with the bass at 13 year old and now some 30 years later, still enjoy it. My heart lies with the jazz/ funk like Incognito / Mezzoforte and I am starting a band in this style. The gear: the Markbass is changed to a Aguilar SC500 on the two GS112's a wonderful old Tobias basic5 like you see on the avatar. a heavily modified fretless Washburn 6-string, a double bass, which doesn't leave the house not on this picture; an Ibanez BTB456 6-string with a Noll-preamp, 4 string Kramer My main bass is a Mike Lull M5V. After a visit at Bass People in Sydney (great shop!!) I fell for this bass, always thought that it was just another Fender copy, but NOT! have a good one! Ron
