  1. [quote name='Stag' timestamp='1333666853' post='1605210'] Barg! Nice FG fella. [/quote] Cheers buddy! I will be sad to see it go but if it's not right it's not right.
  2. Hello one and all! I trust you're all well?! Well... After 3 years together, the time has come to part ways with my beloved 1999 Rickenbacker 4003. As much as I love it, I have finally come to the conclusion that i'm definitely a Jazz Bass man and as such that's what I think I am going to be looking for. She plays like absolute silk and sounds absolutely amazing, that classic Rickenbacker sound. It was set up approximately 9 months ago at KGB in Birkenhead and has played like a dream ever since. Neck profile: The neck profile is medium, fast, it's not thin enough to be like a jazz bass, but not broad enough to be described precision bass. Weight: 9.6lbs or 4.7kgs However if it is a pristine example you're after, you're in the wrong place, this is a players bass, she's been used but not abused, certainly not by me. She's got a few dings and a bit of buckle rash on front and back of body but thats to be expected with it's age, any majorly noticeable marks I have put in the photos attached, these mainly appear to be in the binding. But to be absolutely clear these were there before I bought the bass, again nothing that effects playability. The switch doesn't hold properly in the neck position, works fine in Middle and Bridge position. This has never bothered me as I much prefer it in the bridge position pickup to get that ricky growl. But I should imagine it'll be about £20 to get repaired. To be fair since I have had this bass I have given nothing but TLC to this bass. The case is as I received it, Official Rickenbacker, it is battered i'm afraid, feet have gone in one side (common problem I believe) but serves it's purpose in protecting the bass. So what I am looking for.... Well.... Sale: Taking into account everything above I am looking for £950 ono and I'll include shipping in the price Trades: A Fender USA Jazz Bass Deluxe (Either version pre 2010 or post), Fender 1975 AVRI Jazz, Fender USA Precision Deluxe, Lakland Hollowbody Bass or other decent Jazz Bass, Maybe at a push a US Standard Jazz or Musicman Sterling (plus a little cash adjustment). Don't hesitate to drop me a line with any questions. Tim
  3. Bump! This is an absolutely awesome amp.... I should know, i've got one :-)! £400 and someones going to get an absolute steal!
  4. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1322568622' post='1452684'] That is so lovely, and a great price for a Country Club. Is it a pre or post fender take over model? [/quote] It's a post Fender take over. And it really is a great price i feel i'm being mugged off haha.
  5. [color=#333233]I'm coming to the conclusion that as much as I love the feeling and sound of this beautiful Gretsch, the practical side of me now says I really need to upgrade my bass rig, as I have now stepped into the breach as bassist and singer rather than my previous guitarist and singer role. Having a Strat back in my life means that any guitar work I will be doing going forward, the Strat will be my go to guitar.[/color] [color=#333233]So this is really a feeler, i'm not in any major rush to shift this guitar, just to see if anyone would be interested in this fabulous little minx? In the interests of clarity she's in almost mint condition there's a little bit of wear on the bridge and bridge pickup, nothing that affects playability. She comes with the Gretsch hardcase but I never received the paperwork i'm afraid. She's currently strung with 12's as I play between Eb and D tuning, however I can include a set of 11's if anyones really interested.[/color] [color=#333233]Here's a cheeky little picture to wet appetites....[/color] I am looking for around £1400 ono or a Gibson Les Paul (Studio/Standard/Traditional) or 335 (Straight Trade), Duesenberg + Cash adjustment if necessary or alternatively a lovely bass such as a Gretsch/Fender/Rickenbacker!
  6. Hi Rhys My Country Club is indeed Green it's kind of a metallic candy apple green rather than the quite robust Cadillac Green and here's a photo for your viewing pleasure....
  7. [font=arial, sans-serif]Hi Guys After a little time with myself, I part ex'd my Gibson 335 for it over on Musicradar. However, I've decided that having 2 big hollow body Gretsch's is overkill and as amazing as it is both in looks and feel, I find that my Country Club is my go to guitar every time, so I've decided to part company with the White Falcon as it's too amazing to be sat there redundant. It really is in superb condition and I've got a rook load of photos for your viewing pleasure. What I'm looking for in trades... Gibson Les Paul Standard, Fender Deluxe or Signature Stratocasters, Fender 52 Reissue Telecaster, Gretsch G6128DS Duo Jet (must have Dynasonic pickups), Gibson ES335 (Block inlay preferable) PRS's some of these will need a cash adjustment heading my way also I'm looking at anything that you think may be of interest to me :-) I'm however definitely not interested in Rickenbacker guitars, Ibanez's, Dean, ESP or anything that is too hi-gain or metal Cash price... £1500 ono Here's the pictures that were sent to me, they're much better than anything I could take so i'll use them.

  8. Absolutely cracking chorus pedal, does everything apart from clean the dishes and so many chorus options that there is something for everyone All the spec details etc can be found on the boss website [url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/CE-20/details.html"]http://www.bosscorp....20/details.html[/url] It's in almost perfect condition, the odd small mark on the actual pedals themselves but nothing that is horrifically noticeable. I'm looking for £80 incl. P&P for basschatters. It'll also be on t'bay but you get first dibs on it if you ask me here first :-)
  9. I'm desperate to cure my GAS and try one of these bad boys out just to see if they're me or not. If anyone has got one that is local to the North West or North Wales area that would be willing to let me try one out I would be eternally greatful. Tim
  10. Thanks for all the input guys It' just I am now the proud owner of A Gretsch G6196CA Country Club and a Gretsch G6136DS White Falcon guitars and I was just contemplating a purchase of a Gretsch Bass just to maintain a look, sound and feel but if they're not that good i'll stick with my Jazz and Rickie. Thanks once again
  11. Hi Guys Just wondering does anyone own one/played one? What do they sound like? What do they play like? Which one is the best? Any knowledge or insight would be helpful. Tim :-)
  12. [font=arial, sans-serif] Got a Gibson ES-335 Dot in Plain Cherry 2008 model with the thinner 60's neck I believe, been my absolute pride and joy and I do love her, she's been played regularly as has been my main guitar up until late now and with that in mind it has picked up a few marks on the way. However i've moved across to a Gretsch Country Club and I have found my perfect sound and I begrudge having my Gibson sat there doing nothing because sonically they're quite different and I just prefer the single coil sound overall. So if you're looking for an absolute mint example of a 335 this probably isn't for you. Although i would still rate her a 7.5 out of 10 for condition. Just to clarify there's a scratch on the front, it doesn't break the lacquer and it's not that noticeable in my opinion and wouldn't be glaringly obvious to any onlooker and of course there's a bit of buckle rash. Also the bridge and stoptail are a little tarnished from where I've had my hand leaning on it because I happen to be of the sweaty musician variety unfortunately, But nothing that affects the playability or setup of the guitar. For one of the more recent ones she plays exceedingly well and even more so since I had her set up professionally by Matt Bascetta Luthier. Check him out at[url="http://www.mjbluthier.co.uk/"]www.mjbluthier.co.uk[/url] and She now plays like absolute silk. I can get pictures but it's taken on an iPhone so it's not the greatest camera. I'll be more than happy to anyone coming to see it as well and running it through the Twin or Orange I have here. I'm based on the Welsh (Best) side of Chester. Really I'm only interested trades and would be looking at Gretsch (6120, Duo Jet, Penguins, White Or Black Falcons preferably with Dynasonic pickups but I am open minded especially if they've got TV jones') or Deluxe or Signature Fenders (Deluxe USA Strat, 72 Deluxe/Custom Teles, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, David Gilmour ;-)) + cash adjustment). I would be happy to hear offers around the £1300 mark for cash purchase :-) Or if you've got some wild suggestions, I'm incredibly open minded and like a magpie so something shiny, to cure my madness please drop me a line. Cheers for looking Tim Please excuse the picture quality they're taken on an iPhone, if you have any specific requests please don't hesitate to drop me a line and I'll try and get you something specific.
