    Chelios, shipping to 'Nobody's Perfect' by any chance?? Anyway, I shipped a Smith 6 string to Finland a couple of months back, can't remember the weight/dimensions off hand, though in its hard case it was a pretty weighty and sizable package. I shipped by DHL road service and it was collected from me on Monday and delivered to the buyer in Finland on the Friday of that week. Pretty good going I thought. If you PM me I can give you more detail etc. P [quote name='Chelios' post='454267' date='Apr 4 2009, 06:39 PM']I have read : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36625"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36625[/url] and took recomendations. But im looking for some advice, UPS state about £140 and takes about 8 days but i need to know have any you guys/lovely ladies shipped to Finland, and the usual cost/best courier? Chelios[/quote]

The bass was bought new in November 08 and i've just owned it since February. Musicman hardcase included I'm based in Harrow Middx - any trial welcome there. Could also collect from the Windsor Berks area, where I work. £675 collected or £700 by courier I'm not looking for trades against this one I'm reusing Marcus's pics here: and a link to the original add: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39135&hl=stingray"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=stingray[/url]

    Buginga5 bought a bass from me recently, in what was a really east transaction. Transfered the money straight away and was easy to communicate with. He let me know that the bass had arrived safe and well. Thanks Andrew

    Someone suggested using this very service recently when I was selling my Smith. I had a look and then told them to jog on. Its not something I'd get involved in..

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='434352' date='Mar 14 2009, 07:27 AM']Very nice Paul - how's it sound?[/quote] There's a great range of tones available, Alan. I also like having the full passive option (with tone control) there a great sound there too.

    <<< NOW SOLD>>> Lakland 5501 Dlx 5 string. The bass has had the pickups upgraded with Nordstrang Fatstack at the bridge and Big Single at the neck. A Glockenklang 3 band pre is fitted which also allows full passive use. When in passive mode, the treble pot becomes a tone control. I bought this bass from GarBev a while back and am selling as I have aquired three basses lately and can't keep tham all - I'm also favouring 4 strings at the moment. Comes with a fitted ABS hard case Reuse of Garbev's pics here [attachment=21984:5501_1.jpg] [attachment=21985:5501_2.jpg] [attachment=21986:5501_4.jpg] Link to original add here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=35822&hl=garbev"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...2&hl=garbev[/url] I'm based in Harrow Middx, any trial welcome.

    The Bodygloove gig bags are very good and very protective. See Homer's post here for details: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40785&hl=bodygloove"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=bodygloove[/url] There fairly heavy for a gig bag

    I played this bass a while ago and it really is a beaut. The pictures don't really do it justice BTW. It just looks and feels like a real high quality instrument. What with the new U Retro installled, it's a bargain at the price. Gwil his a good guy to deal with too

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='429647' date='Mar 9 2009, 06:43 PM']You can send funds to someone via Paypal as a gift (or something like that), it is an option that the sender has and there are no fees incurred by either party... a public service announcement from WH! [/quote] I've used this method of payment a bit lately - do you know if there's a limit on the amount you can send as 'Gift'? Apologies for the temporary hijack..

    I believe this is a know problem with the MB150 combo or extention cab. I've certainly seen ads for these where the seller had bought a replacement casings and was including the old one, which he had had welded. I used to own one myself and never had a problem

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='430282' date='Mar 10 2009, 11:38 AM']Coupla reasons really - I joined a blues band a few weeks ago and they rehearse in a studio loft. This amp weighs 33lbs and by the time I get to the loft I'm gasping for air - when you're my age, that ain't funny and it doesn't impress the opposite sex. Second reason is - I went to see another blues band and the bassist was using an Ashdown Mag head into an Ashdown 4x10 and it sounded beautiful - perfect for blues. I want to hang on to my Spectors and I'm hoping a warmer, woolier amp will help get that fat bluesy sound I'm looking for. They sound very hi-fi through the GB rig. I've hopefully bought a suitable amp and will have enough money over to buy a decent combo - something I've wanted for a while really. Probably makes no sense to anyone else but then, I am strange.[/quote] Is there any chance that you can leave a cab in the loft? If there is it might be worth picking up a cheap one for practice and save yourself busting a gut every week
