    [quote name='DanR' timestamp='1415190658' post='2597601'] Ok. So when you buy a '72 Jazz or whatever, you're buying it for the build / the sound / the heritage etc - the chipped paint and oxidised tuners, is just a by-product. Isn't this like putting a Jaguar e-type bodykit on a Ford Escort, or a fake Rolex? Yes it looks the part, but it just isn't? [/quote] Probably is, yup, but, if that's what I choose to spend my gig money on......................... Or put another way, dream bass, after ensuring everything is original, not fake etc, 63 Sea Foam Green Jazz with matching headstock, if one exists, if you can eventually find one, what, £6000 ish? Mark's Limelight, looks the part, plays superbly, puts a smile above my multi chins at every gig, way under £1000 and not afraid to gig it at this weeks Dog and Duck. Horses for courses, don't knock until you've tried

    Thanks Martyn, appreciated. If two of your stunning Warwicks were 4 strings............ Anyway, despite a good number of offers and a couple trying to raise funds, doubt this will go as swiftly as my other SEI did. Single cut are marmite and cash is in short supply. This may be a relative bargain but it is still a lot of money. So, further pm's replied. Sound clip was asked for. I don't do that sort of thing, no equipment or knowledge. FORTUNATELY, the man who commissioned the bass, Alex, from the Bass Gallery, does do that sort of thing and has left it in the public domain, so, linky!

    Our pub gig last Sat was cancelled due to landlord doing a runner. The Saturday before we did 32 numbers, including 4 six or seven minute numbers and 4 encores. Fortunately we have about 60 to choose from currently. The first set was 1 hour 10 mins. The second set was 1 hour 35 minutes. Not up to US standards but I left home just after 6pm on the Saturday night and got home just after 2am Sunday morning. That's quite enough for me thank you. And yes, I have a proper job, well, my own little business.

    [quote name='throwoff' timestamp='1415184324' post='2597477'] And even if you do Limelight will do that for you. [/quote] Not anymore they won't. If you want it with Fender on the headstock, I think you have to do your own now..

    Might be wrong Alain, but I think Drew from the Great British Bass Lounge may have bought this from the north west Facebook site. He certainly has one up for sale.

    [quote name='Geddys nose' timestamp='1415112427' post='2596798'] Stunning that Karl, The Back of the bass is a work of art, Lovely workmanship. GLWTS. [/quote] Thanks Si, the front ain't too shabby either . I don't know if it always works, but click on the photo, it should go to Photobucket. Just to the top right of the picture you can click on a magnifying glass symbol and it opens up full page photo. [quote name='4000' timestamp='1415123496' post='2596965'] Too bad, I may have been up for that! [/quote] My Dragon always said my timing was crap Just been offered (amongst quite a few things) a Mesa BB750 and Vintage Powerhouse cab. My eyes said yes yes yes, my spine said don't even think about it

    Chuffed to buggery you say eh? For the posh amongst you (like wot I is) that means the new owner may very well be delighted

    Rings true to be honest. Before the internet there was nothing like as much available info and this would probably have been sold relatively local as for example a 69 Jazz. Most people would not have known any better. Could simply be the previous or original owner wanted a rosewood board but it originally had maple, so he bought another neck. Could be a lot of reasons that we will never know. Fact is that now, we all can source this info quickly and he appears to have an expensive bitsa to sell. Or he's at it

    Scam. They have just changed their user names from scams in the past.

    Excellent, thanks Mr. X

    If you still had a certain creamy white signature model made somewhere in California I could certainly have found a few hundred quid to start negotiations To me, this is for top giggers or studio use, it's just too damned nice for the pub gigs I do. Further pm's replied ta.

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1415032136' post='2595876'] No more or less chance of being scammed. However as a seller I've done three transactions via the Global Shipping Programme and they have all been problematic. The shipping charges to buyers seem to be far higher than those I can offer myself. Also there is a maximum size of 120 cm length on parcels which a well-packed bass may well be over (especially if you are using a bicycle box) as your outer. Un-enroll now before you get caught out. [/quote] I'm going to be putting my SEI on there at the weekend. How do I un-enroll please? Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='dudi8' timestamp='1415098306' post='2596567'] actually your green one is one of my inspirations for the relicing [/quote] Aw, shucks To be honest, it's the colour I've always wanted but never been able to afford, until Mark and Limelight. Enjoy yours, the wait will be worth it.

    [quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1415088580' post='2596438'] stopped arriving at gigs with any expectations a few years bavk as too many were a let down! Now I arrive with a mild sense of dread and am usually quite pleased, ocassionaly even surprised! [/quote] This. Those gigs where there are 6 disinterested punters in 1st set, then at the end, packed out, dancing on tables I'm 56, in one originals and one busy covers band. I'd love to get in a functions band with decent money, but I love playing pub gigs. I think for me, it's that after a seriously mis spent youth, I'm surprised I'm still alive And I don't see the point in being able to play something and NOT share it. Every weekend we bring back happy memories to some punters.

    I just hope he's ok.

    [quote name='4000' timestamp='1414938894' post='2594832'] Anyone? [/quote] Sorry, can't help but I prefer maple boards as well. But the rosewood boarded jazz neck on my 63 is superb. Just have a chat with Mark and tell him what you are after, you are unlikely to be disappointed. Good luck, Karl.

    VERY regretfully over the weekend I have come to the conclusion I will never gig this beautiful bass. It deserves to be with the band on Strictly or Jools, not the Polished Knob in Todmorden (no disrespect intended). For a cash sale £1150 collected from Wigan, or plus £40 insured courier, UK. My TRADE value on it is £1250. I will be pinching some of Loz's advert. I would ask him but he's not been on since June and the ad is still in the public domain. Don't really want to disturb him. So. Sei Singlecut Series II (Melt) in cocobolo and flame maple. Basic details as follows: neck - 7 piece, flame maple and purpleheart board - highly figured birdseye maple body - ash with continuous wood cavity covers facing - cocobolo and highly flamed maple (bookmatched to centre) with 'melt' joint (also, black laminate between facings and body) pickups - bareknuckle PJ active pre - Demeter three band scale - 33" approx 19mm spacing at bridge, adjustable side markers - LEDs in red Very light at about 8lbs. Controls Push/pull for volume and side lights activation Pick up pan Bass and treble, centre cut/boost. Mid, push pull for passive/active, with passive tone control. Very happy to look at trades with cash either way. Sorry but must be 4 strings and fretted. CS Fenders and the unmentionable R word (do that through Karl Altdorfer on Facebook though please, not on the forum). Link to a previous advert [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173063-sold-sei-singlecut-series-ii-melt-pj-configuration-headed-4-string/page__view__findpost__p__1610209__hl__sei+melt__fromsearch__1"]SOLD - Sei Singlecut Series II (Melt) - PJ configuration....[/url] Gutted.
