Ask Tim himself, he can only say no. Very happy with mine [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/008_zpssqdxnuof.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/008_zpssqdxnuof.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

REG (Rare Electric Guitars) are one of the vendors on there and they appear to have a decent rep from what I've seen BUT I'm not in a position to recommend them. However, they are a company you might like to research. Good luck, I'd be more tempted to look at that Maruswotsits personally, although obviously more expensive.

All interesting stuff. As it happens my Nate went a couple of days back having been up around 10 days. More often than not when I've needed to flog something, it's gone in a couple of days. Interesting about the 50%. I look forward to seeing a year old US Jazz coming up at £550

As above ^^^^^^^^^^^ TimAl of this parish, top class work, great service and price. Even etched a little Eye of Horus on one of my plates. [url="http://www.originalscratchplates.com/"]http://www.originalscratchplates.com/[/url]

When I tried a TH500, I found to get "decent" volume out of it, you needed to use the gain and some drive. This did not give me the kind of sound I like. The PUMA I have, well pretty much all set to flat, TASTE contol used to where I want it. Easily gives me the sound I require. I don't think volume is an issue with either amp, more a matter of what sound you want with that volume. This is just personal experience, not science. As others have said, the way to really open up either amp is simply speakers/4 ohms.

Nige has just bought a bass from me. Decisive, helpful and a thoroughly nice guy to boot. Thanks for making it so easy Nige, and absolute pleasure. Fully recommended folks, thanks again, cheers, Karl.

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1448019220' post='2912310'] I think that on BC some people over price items, some people under price items and some get it spot on. It's when I find someone with good positive feedback, selling what I want at a price I find acceptable that I buy it. I'm happy for anyone, regardless of location, with whatever feedback, to advertise at whatever price they see fit. I will only pull the trigger when all my previously mentioned boxes are ticked. I really enjoy buying and selling on here as it's very rare that I come across anyone that isn't a pleasure to deal with. [/quote] ^^^^ Nail>>>>head

For me, it's always got to be that compromise of a price both buyer and seller are happy with. Thankfully, many of us have feedback which suggests the buyer will be getting a responsible deal. THAT is one of the beauties of selling gear on Basschat

Have to disagree with you. Currently Nate Mendels, new, selling for around £770. Mine is 1 year old, new strings, properly set up, all the extras you would get with a new one. It's out at £525. I think a 32% saving on one that is frankly indistinguisable from new is a very good saving. If people are looking for more of a saving than that, no wonder the market is slow. Oh, I did have some EXCELLENT trade offers but they all involved rosewood fretboards, which I'm trying to get away from.

Quite a few popular Facebook selling pages now.

As long as you don't fall into a Tangerine Dream. Swift and safe recovery dood

It really is very strange tbh honest. I've been lucky and most of mine have sold within a couple of days. Yet strangely, my as new Mendel, a superbly eqipped P bass, at 32% reduction against new, no real interest after day one. I think, for what it's worth, you get lucky in that somebody is looking for one. Or you don't, and have to wait patiently. Still maintain that with a few exceptions, this is the most realistically priced market.

Try Parcelhero. As stated, past Perth will cost more. I used to use one company all the time, then they stopped accepting anything over 125 cms. https://www.parcelhero.com/ Parcelhero, through their UPS service, will take longer items and so far have been excellent, plus their tracking is great.

A 210 at 46lbs isn't particularly light weight is it?

There are several of these models available from Fender Japan, 50's, 60's and 70's. GAK and RichTone amongst others, have had them for a couple of months. Think it's possible these were commissioned to run down parts in the factory? Or as a last swansong?
