    How heavy are they please?

    Thats a nice bass for that money. GLWTS.

    They'll certainly be up for a live band - I think for the smaller room it's sixty quid to hire it (for an evening band type function) and you get that back if there's a certain amount spent over the bar. £400 rings a bell. It would probably be best if we came up with a couple of dates and then I approach them. Any thoughts...?

    I'm up for it. Any thoughts as to a venue? The Hunter Club in Bury St Eds is nice, they don''t seem to do much with the rooms in the day, so I'll happily have a word and see if one can be wangled....

    Looks like these ones are for the later series six and onwards. Mine is a series 5 and the knobs look a bit different. Thanks for the steer though, much appreciated!

    Evening all, would anyone happen to know a source for those little white TE fader knobs? Thanks in advance! Stuart

    Lovely looking bass. GLWTS.

    So, pardon my ignorance, and double pardon me for hijacking the thread slightly, but what is an Odyssey and whom is Atilla Balough? And what is that Japanese copy? They might well be the coolest things I have ever seen....

    Having recently purchased a bass off Raj I can thoroughly recommend him as a seller and all round good chap. Deal with confidence!

    Yep. +1

    In many ways, yes. But I would point out that two deeply Kevinesque teenage boys would test any salesman....;0)

    FOLKS: This bass is no longer for sale. I just can't do it, it would be like selling one of the kids. I really appreciate all of the interest and kind words in the thread above. I have decided to buy the 20th anniversary anyway. Sod it. You only live once.

    Thats a pretty bass! GLWTS

    It certainly is. Long neck though, doesn't feel like a short scale.

    Well, I tend to wear this one quite high, seems to suit the deep funk heritage.. and it sits fine. When I have tried to wear it lower there is a bit of dive, to be fair...

    Go on Mick. You owe it to yourself....;0)

    That would be about right I think. Considering the timber involved it's not bad, eh? Balances nicely on the strap too.

    Lovely bass for someone at a decent price. GLWTS.
  19. W1_Pro
    Thanks Alan. You are pretty good at that business business yourself....;0)

    Of course. Sorry should have thought of that. 4.4 kilos according to the bathroom scales.

    It's an interesting one that...I'm 6'3" and it works because the neck is so long. Tiny body though...

    I purchased it off a chap who bought it off a chap in Spain I think. The marks on the side are ripples in the finish- the usual wear and tear stuff you get on the lower bouts of guitars after many years. The white marks are reflections- not white paint!

    I'm not sure about the knobs tbh...They look quite proper, but I guess they might have been replaced at some point? I think you should just buy it really, a bit of incendiary Clarkesque fretw**nking. That'll keep you warm...Who needs a boiler?...;0)

    Im playing it now, and it really is. I might hold on to it yet......

    Here is my SC deluxe. It's an early one, serial number 87SC4596 which dates it to 1987 which fits with the 'made in West Germany' schaller machine heads. In the interests of full disclosure, there are a few minor dinks on it, but nothing too bad. I've tried to capture these in the photos. If you want more pics- let me know. It's a magnificent bass. The electrics all work as they should, the truss rods are fine, the action is low, the neck slim and fast. I truly do not want to sell this, but I've been offered a 20th anniversary model and the powers that be have firmly told me it's one in, one out, or else. It is made I believe, of walnut facings over a mahogany core with maple laminations. The neck is maple & purpleheart. The woodwork is astonishing. I'm happy to courier at your expense. I'd be happier if you tried it before buying. I'm in Bury St Edmunds most of the time. London at least once a week and Wales periodically. Comes with a fitted hardcase- American, by 'The Modern Case Company'. Can't say I've ever heard of them, but it's a fine case. In terms of cash. I'm happy to consider offers, but it is what it is and I'm not going to bend much on the price.
