I appreciate Alex coming on here to answer any criticisms but whenever I have visited the shop I have never been made to feel welcome and I struggle to really recommend the place. I know it's a small business and they probably do get a lot of window shoppers but if you are in a shop like that where people travel considerable distances to visit you need to at least smile - how hard is it to say "sorry, we're really busy at the moment, I'll be with you in a minute"?

Spector Euro 5lx, stunning black stain, matching black hardware. No issues, no dings, all good. Cheapy gig bag supplied. Looking for quick sale £750 ovno would prefer collection or meet within reasonable distance. I am located in Staffordshire Will discuss shipping. Will also update with more info and post pics later as i am currently at work. Will consider trades on MM Stingray (4 string), or MIA Fender P Bass special maple neck. Paypal gift, bank transfer, cash on pick up. Give me a shout on 07985739375 if interested.

I only moved it on because I'm a 4 string chap really. Buy with confidence. -

Does this have a tube preamp? Can it do a nice grindy rock tone, or is it more of a clean machine? -

[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1359242' date='Sep 1 2011, 09:10 PM']Lovely bass. I wonder how much it would cost to replace the gold hardware with black?[/quote] Once you've sold the gold hardware, not much. Don't know why you would want to though!

American Idiot Looking for a Bass in London
Cosmo Valdemar replied to LuvMusic's topic in Bass Guitars
The Gallery has a great selection of basses usually, but I have always found them to be unhelpful and judgmental every time I have been in there. I had an issue with a bass I bought from them about a year ago, not only were they adamant I was imagining it, the tech guy gave me an extraordinary list of 'reasons' (read: bullshit) why there could be a problem. It appears I am alone on here in my opinion of the place, however. -
[quote name='jbhoward1994' post='1355741' date='Aug 29 2011, 09:48 PM']I own a Gibson Grabber 1976 original had it about a year, I absolutely love the bass, but really want a fender jaguar, So maybe looking for a trade for a fender jaguar if anyone is up for it, hopefully in black or sunburst. The Gibson is amazing is really worn, where been gigged and toured before I owned it, pictures can be posted if wanted, message me if any interests thank you[/quote] [i]Definitely[/i] post pictures.

WOW. The bass, that is. Please give us your address, and what time you will be at work.

Encore ltd edition p-bass, how much is it worth?
Cosmo Valdemar replied to woolleydick's topic in Bass Guitars
That there was my first 'proper' bass, hot on the heels of a Gibson EB copy made my 'Eros' which was purchased for £20. The encore was £199 new at the time, my Dad agreed to pay half if I could save up the first £100. Fantastic sounding bass if I remember correctly. Around that time, a friend's sister started a saturday job at the same place as me and wanted to leartn how to play the bass. Being totally lovestruck I lent her the Encore... She didn't really learn to play it much passed beginner level, but we eventually got together - We've now been together 12 years, married for 1, and have a 6 month old daughter. So it was a very special bass for me. (sorry for going off topic!) -
That's fantastic, glad Jack turned out to be nice guy after all that waiting around too! I've met a few of my 'heroes' over the years, some of which I wish I hadn't... Jack has to be one of the few bassists to whom a Thumb bass looks in proportion.

SOLD: BC Rich Mockingbird Heritage Bass (thru-neck) £235 ono
Cosmo Valdemar replied to robocorpse's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='robocorpse' post='1349626' date='Aug 23 2011, 10:27 PM']To be fair, it has 2 very nasty bashes on it, one on the bottom point near the controls thats down to wood. Photo link in original post leads to good closeups of the dinks. I think I have priced it VERY fairly though. It plays really nicely despite the usual BCRich neck angle issues, and if I had more time, I would do the bridge rout mod and get it absolutely gnats-wing on the 12th fret First offer of 220 takes it, it's not actually THAT metal, it has the metal shape, but the trans finish and curly maple just oozes class...[/quote] Oh yeah. Didn't look at the old thread. Still a bargain.
