Guess if it becomes all yankee, we can look forward to price increases if made and shipped from the states.

I need to sell at least one bass, so with extreme reluctance, I'm putting the Old Gal up. She has lots of lumps and dinks, two major ones badly touched up by original owner, plus some varnish of edge of neck and a little dint next to that. Plays brilliantly though. Medium weight at 9lb 5oz, comes with both scratchplates, little Eddie head on headstock (removable, no residue), pup cover and tugbar. And a Fender hardcase that is so bust up it merits it's own photos (still just about does the job). £670 collected from Wigan (or meet up within 50 miles), £700 mainland UK insured courier. The colour is very like Lake Placid Blue, but in fact it's Aqua Marine Metallic. I got it to turn it into a Steve Harris "Live After Death" tribute bass. It's a standard 41.6mm nut width, so easier to play than a Harris signature. And it's lighter. And, with Royal Blue Japanese Harris signature going used between £750/£850, it's cheaper The photo with the tortie scratchplate is probably the most representative. Please don't buy if you want immaculate, this is real road bashed. Feedback at bottom of post cheers, Karl.

SOLD: TecAmp PUMA 1000 (Powersoft version, cover included)
karlfer replied to davidak's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
You might want to consider buying this quickly folks. It is possible that the wonderful (ime, and that of a good few others) gear that TecAmp produce, may be about to get harder to find . A few days ago I tried to get a M212-4 from the largest supplier, but they had vanished from the stock list, this may be why http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275998-tecamp-no-more/ David, if you unhappy about my link, please just PM me and I will remove it. Good luck with the sale of this fabulous amp. -
Well hush my mouth I like 8ohms!!! (where's the sticking tongue out icon?)
-
That'll be why Thomann don't list the S212 OR M212 since Monday. When I went to order a M212 Damn shame, great gear IMO. Still at least Jeff Berlin apologised (no idea why I typed that

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1451686259' post='2942553'] Damn. Why did you have to link to his website? I've been gassing for an 80's Siennaburst for ages, even though I can't live with 1.75" necks, and that one seems a very good price! I will have to hold firm! [/quote] He's had that bass in for months. Cheeky offer????? -
Fender Precision USA 57RI + C&G Case - £700
karlfer replied to jay-syncro's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1451686622' post='2942559'] Bargain and a cracking project. I would have snapped it up if I didn't have to keep the funds back for my Bravewood! Good work Beedster. Next day or two? Let's hope the seller is more patient than some I've dealt with recently! (I'm sure he is) I can already see this bass refin'd in vintage white or blonde, but I think a wet and dry with 1200, 1500, and 2000 then a polish will have it gleaming! Will need an anodized pickguard though! [/quote] There was an anodised plate with it I just didn't get round to putting it back on. -
[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1451658300' post='2942156'] That's probably because they would have 2 different range of ohm speakers made for them . perhaps if they offered a discount if you ordered more than one cab , that might influence people to get 2 x8 ohm or 3 x 12ohm cabs ? [/quote] The point is (to me) Barefaced don't make the 2x 10 in 8 ohm, or I would have bought two of them. They make the 210 in 4ohm and 12 ohm. One is no good to me and I'm buggered if I'm going to buy/carry three of them. As I said, I asked Alex last year if they would do them in 8 ohm versions and was told (in a bamboozling scientific way) no.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1451661440' post='2942190'] Jay, why explain two identical basses to Mrs Synchro, in my book that's one bass Anyway, I'll take the bass mate, nearly pressed the button when Karl furst offered it. I'll get my people to talk to your people in the next day or two. C [/quote] Absolutely world class Chris You will love that bass fella -
From initial contact to closure was less than 24 hours. Decisive, did what he said he would, when he said he would. On top of that, although short term contact, Ian is an absolute gentlemen. The condition of his gear was exemplary, an absolute credit to him. Ian, it was a great pleasure, and in true gear whore style I will be keeping an eye out for anything you put up for sale Deal with utmost confidence folks, Ian is one of life's nice guys

He'd have sold at least two more 210's if he did them in 8ohm Apparently there are complicated reasons not to do that.

Great review discreet. I tried a 500 last year in a shop. I didn't like it. It seemed to me that you only got decent volume by having the Drive way up, and pushing the mids. The reality is, I always struggle with this sort of Semi parametric????? equipment. Possibly because I have (frequently) been called 40 watts (dim ). Your review is great in that in relatively simple terms you've explained how it all ties together, great bit of future reference. Now you can possibly see why I like the TecAmp PUMA range. Flat, twiddle TASTE, left for Jazz, right for Precision. As a certain meerkat might say, simples. Or son of a mongoose

Fender Precision USA 57RI + C&G Case - £700
karlfer replied to jay-syncro's topic in Basses For Sale
Sorry didn't work out for you Jay (although like me, you really should stop looking at pictures of pretty basses ). From a couple of feet away, this just looks like a great, iconic bass. It's an AV 57 RI with all the great qualities that go with that. AND IT'S DAFT LIGHT!!!!! For the right person, this really is a terrific buy at a terrific price, and Jay is simply fabulous to deal with. Happy new year fella and GLWTS -

TecAmp PUMA, July 2015, immaculate, with original box and TecAmp bag. Cost was £653 all in. Sale only, photos to follow in couple of hours (need to go to warehouse, to get ladders, to get box and bag out of loft ). £480 collected from Wigan, £500 mainland UK insured courier (earliest will be Monday collect/Tuesday delivery.). Happy to meet within 50 miles of Wigan with no extra charge. Only reason for sale is I've just bought two cabs rated at 250 watts each. I was happy to put this amp through 2 cabs rated at 300 watts each, but might be tempting things a bit too much putting it through 2 x 250's. All that said, the PUMA 900 has never been past 11 o'clock on the gain, and 9 o'clock on master. It's a bit powerful . So I'm going to buy me a TecAmp PUMA 500. Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1451222313' post='2938866'] Bump, someone please buy this - so I can buy karlfers bass!! ..... please [/quote] Good call Marc. Good thing with the Italian ones is they are likely to hold their value better, especially when they get harder to find in a year or two. Having said that, these were originally around £1000 new if I remember correctly.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1451402408' post='2940186'] I have a 2001 model sunburst, gold metal scratch plate. Lovely bass. The bridge is a multi threaded screw type was that standard?. The tuners and pickups seem a little better than standard mex models of the time too, I could be mistaken. [/quote] Yup, that bridge is standard, American Vintage bridge I think they were called at the time. If you are ever daft enough to sell it, currently ask no less than £400. And somebody will get a superb gigging instrument.

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1451344061' post='2939794'] Full of bitter again and I still have beer goggles for this gal. Oooooh if only.... [/quote] Further pm's overnight, all replied. Sad day Anyway, over the time it's been up, I've had mail from 5 folk on the continent. Spookily they have all gone quiet when I have explained the conditions I would need to be met to sell to Europe. Some folk won't even ship in the UK . So, to make clear to all. Yes, I will send it to Europe, under the following circumstances; 1. Buyer to pay by bank transfer in GBP. WHEN funds have cleared (usually 3-4 days with Europe), it can be couriered. 2. Buyer to organise/pay for their own insured courier, simply telling me the collection date. The second condition is because I can hardly pop over to (eg) Brussels to give a courier company's CEO a hard time. BUT I can if neccessary do that in the UK. Anybody who is sceptical about the terms, please have a chat with Aero71 or electriccheese I'd be surprised if they didn't answer your questions. And no I'm not going to give it away either I hope my feedback will speak for my trustworthiness and a fair deal for both buyer and seller, cheers, Karl.
