    Ho hum, VERY interesting chaps and thank you for that. I had a feeling there was a bit of, erm, not quite right-ness going on . I have also seen knocked up JV plates on FEEBay and I figured something was nudging the back of my mind. My thanks to you all, cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1414178614' post='2586859'] I said I was never going to post on BC again but my Limelight P is ready and it should be logged IMHO so: CAR with maple, parchment scratchplate and Trubass strings. I collect it in week 2 November. [/quote] Oh Lordy, THAT is gonna thump Congrats and enjoy when the time comes.

    [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1414176604' post='2586819'] Erm, he's responding to a satire of audio woo which was deliberately as wrong as possible in as many ways as possible. Was this not obvious when it was a post pretending to sell green tape that you stick on your bass saying that it would make your bass sound better? It's looking to me as there has been a severe case of *whoosh* here. That the tape absolutely does not work, and could not work in the way described was the entire point. [/quote] Don't be ridiculous. It's green tape, of course it works

    I have been offered a couple of these as trades recently. I know they are deemed as legendary and a couple of years back were swapping hands at north of £1500. I think I read somewhere that the ultra rare 1st lot with big Fender, little Squier on the headstock, ALL had made in Japan in little writing on the headstock. IE, they didn't have made or crafted in Japan at the back, heel, of the neck. Have I read wrong experts? Thanking you in anticipation Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1414126597' post='2586117'] You're just toying with us! ;-) [/quote] Nope, just awaiting funds from Spain to clear. I've had stuff bought by our continental pals before and it's usually 3 working days to clear, so I would guess the sold sign will be up on Monday

    We can only release a cd if this works for us (Kickstarter). We have around 950 likes on Facebook and in 11 days have received 23 pledges/backers. Of those 23, around 10 are bands/relatives. We are looking to raise £1250 to re-record old stuff and put it on a cd with newly written stuff. Even though the new stuff is getting nightly airplay from internet radio stations, both sides of the pond, it just ain't happening. We are up to £367. By my reckoning at least £200 of that is band related. We are all oldish geezers, not really up on modern marketing. The band concerned (Troyen) were asked to reform for one festival (3 original members plus me). There are more gigs with decent size audiences, but to be honest they pay bugger all, no more than doing a regional pub on a Fri/Sat night. And not as local! Can't help but feel the lads are getting a bit carried away on "glory days" and that the whole thing is becoming too much pay to play. NOT my bag. Kickstarter seemed a great idea but I think a "likes" base of 950 is about 3000 short Good luck with your endeavours.

    Call me old fashioned (and probably wrong) but weren't they the same bass, same factory, different name inlaid? Memory is fading but? I remember trying a new Antoria BE out in Williams in Darlington, chose the Kasuga Rick instead because even then I was scared of the Black Eagles "whole lotta Rosie" weight .

    [b]ON HOLD (sorry, running way behind today).[/b] Thanks chaps, appreciated. As these things are Kiwi, I was offered a decent trade against a VERY expensive 5, but I don't play them. Bassists eh An incredible 6 trade offers in the first day including a stunning jazz-a-like. If there had been a bit more difference in his asking and mine.................... Anyway, still currently available and many thanks to all of those who have shown an interest , cheers, Karl. EDIT. Note to self, learn the difference between past and present tense

    Interesting. Wonder if this is the one that sold, from Paisley, earlier in the year, at around £150? Had the same broken bit.

    Thanks fellas, I'll see how I get on with my latest trade/sale.
  19. karlfer
    SEI Original headless from about 2003, serial no 051. The chap I bought this from bent over backwards to sort me a deal and after 5 nights of trying, it's just not for me, too set in my ways. He has also very kindly offered to take this back, but I am not happy for him to suffer because of my foibles. So, moving on from my embarrassment, extremely good condition, 2 tiny dints, neither through to the wood. Unusually I don't see the need for any more pictures, it is a simple but world class bass. If you are looking at this you know Martin is thought by a good few to be the UK's greatest luthier. A new one of these will currently cost you just over £2300 and a 12/18 month wait. Ridiculously light at just over 6.5 lbs, Kent Armstrong soapbars, Maple caps/top, lightweight Ash body, neck through, ebony fretboard, vol, pan, bass, mid, treble. Brand new foam TGI gig bag, 19mm (adjustable) string spacing, 38mm nut width. My other SEI will go to the grave with me. I AM VERY HAPPY TO TRADE, with money either way, Fender Custom shop would be nice. Or, for example, a nice US Sterling plus £450 to me. Trades 4 string, fretted and with a headstock please. As a trade I would value this at £1200 To sell I would require £1100 cash/bank transfer/cleared cheque. Half the price of a new one, yet just as functional and available a LOT more quickly. Based in Wigan, any trial welcome. I will courier at extra cost of £35 to cover insurance. NO PAINPal please, cash or bank transfer. FEEDBACK at bottom of this post. NB, the flash in photo no3 highlights tiny little scratches that you can only see in certain light. Even then you have to look hard. Photo no2 is what you really see. Any questions please just ask, cheers, Karl.

    Thanks fellas appreciated. Without neck and plate off it's difficult. The pup and in particular the pup screws don't look like 41 years of sweat and looking at the holes for tug bar on top and bottom of plate something has occurred. Mind, I need to flog something first anyway, perhaps a pipe dream at the mo

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1413814595' post='2582211'] Yip - I don't make stuff up for the fun of it, believe me. I've done deps with three or four different bands recently, and at every one, at least one member of the band has said something along the lines of 'whoah, that's nice' etc., etc. And a bloke came up to me after one gig and said how nice he thought it looked. He may have been a muso, I dunno. And do you know why I think this has happened? Black box syndrome. It's been a scourge in bass-land for years now. Guitarists get lovely boutique amps, drummers get cool-looking kits... bass players get black boxes. Well, sod that. [/quote] SO BLOODY TRUE! Hence my 2 x 210 of yellowness. Currently.

    I had no problem with the top handle on my S12V, or side handles for that matter. Lift from side, wheel with the top. With the silver cloth face, I thought it looked quite nice in a retro way. After 18 months I moved it on, really because in some venues it was really difficult for me to dial out a bottom end boom, almost farty at times. In some venues it sounded just amazing. Have to admit though, the look of some of those TKS , even though the Markbass cabs sound really great to me. Must resist.

    What do you reckon folks? Does it look kosher? Why is it only 8 miles from me [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271638804315?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]1973 Fender Precision Bass[/url]
