    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm looking to basically trade as many guitars/basses/amps as possible in exchange for a 6 or 7 string bass... Maybe 5 string if it's really nice [/font][/color] :)[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color]

  2. Very interest! As per the usual routine I'm negotiating a sale at the moment, if all goes well I might be able to scrape up somewhere near your asking price.... I shall be in touch my man. :)

  3. Hey,

    I have a mint Spector euro 6LX that I'm interested in trading... It's an alder body with a quilted maple top, gold plated hardware and a brass nut. Beautiful bass, with new string and Spector fitted hardcase, these are about £2100 new so I'm after something of similar value... Can add cash for the right bass :)

    I also have a Conklin GTBD-7 in wine red that I may trade along with the Spector if you have a REALLY nice bass that I just can't turn down! The Conklin does have a crack through the body but it's been repaired with epoxy 2 ton wood glue (strong as hell!!) and doesn't effect playing. These basses are about £1600 new...

    So if you're interested in one, the other or both in exchange for you're bass (needs to be at least 6 strings or more!) let me know what you got!

    Obviously if I'm trading nearly 4k of bass I'm only after real quality instruments ;)

    Russ.

  4. At least this Sean character clearly now has no base here to screw other people... I definitely agree that you've dealt with this like a champ. Hopefully this won't sour everyone to trading here though, it's definitely a good idea to have a quick chat over the phone with someone before doing a deal. Sucks there are shady characters on here... Had a guy repeatedly tell me I hadn't sent him some strings he'd bought off me, so I sent a fresh set to his address thinking the originals may have got lost etc, turns out he just wanted to screw me for an extra set. :( Apart from that, everyone else I've spoke to or dealt with on here have been spot on, sorry to hear about your situation, but kudos on dealing with it like a decent human being! Unlike certain people...

  5. Hey,

    I have a beautiful Casio ps-20 digital piano that I just don't use any more and I need the room! Its about 6 years old give or take and was £899 new, its in excellent condition and has its original wooden stand, adaptor, pedal and sheet music stand. I'm more up for a trade than a sale...

    I'd be interested in trading it for any reasonable bass, guitar or acoustic, let me know what you have!

    Collection is the only real option as its a big and heavy beast! I'm on 07912222127 to discuss.

    here are the tech specs from the casio website....

  6. Hey,

    I'm thinking of selling or trading this finished project of mine....

    It started life as a Squier vintage modified Jazz, The pups have been changed over to Kent Armstrong duel pole jazz pups, ALL the hardware has been changed over to Fender american parts, that's the bridge, pup covers, backplate etc, its been fitted with a mirrored scratch plate, but I have the original as well, so you'll get that. Its been professionally set up by the guys at PMT with a nice low action. The headstock has been refinished with a fender jazz decal from 1978 or thereabouts. I love the sound of this bass, its honestly better than my american fender jazz V.

    The Squier jazz cost me £300 on its own, the pups where £120 and the rest of the hardware was around £110, the scratch plate was another £20 and the strings are fairly new, so in all it cost me £550, condition is 9 out of 10 if not more, its pretty much mint.

    If you've got any trades in mind, or any cash offers then hit me up. Trade wise, its gotta be a bass, and the more strings the better!

    Thanks, Russ.

  7. I've got the exact same issue with the exact same head, my issue was that the fan motor had cut out which caused the internals to overheat, the amp seems to have a built in safety feature where it will cut the power when the internals heat up past a certain point. Check the fan motor out man, its what got mine sorted.

  8. If you can find one £300 should see you to a 1979 ibanez roadster. This bass will give fender jazz's and musicmen a run for their money. I've had mine for 7 years and it's never leaving my side, set the action real low and it'll tap like the best of them, simple to use with one vol and one tone pot with surprisingly versatile tonal range. If you can find one you will fall in love instantly. Built like a tank too! And resale value will only go up. Bonus's all round, I'm willing to bet anyone who's played one will agree. Get one it's worth it!

  9. Hey,

    I don't know if this is the right category for this, but it seems the most apt (please move to the right place if necessary)

    Right here's a bit of a story for you...

    About 18 years ago my grandfather passed away and in his memory we planted a cherry tree in our garden, unfortunately the roots of my granddads tree are pushing up under the conservatory and the tree has been hacked down... :)

    So now I'm left with a chunk of cherry tree wood that I'd love to be made into a neck to fit a fender jazz to keep his memory alive through the music I love.

    Can anyone help with this? Anyone want to make this happen for me? And yes I can pay!

    Thanks guys, Russ.
