  1. Sorry, I can't help. Bass cabs being 200 miles away, that are "impossible" to courier are frequently an issue here, FEEBay etc. They obviously swam here from US , China etc in a bubble on the backs of mermaids. There is a Vanderkley I would love to buy, but 440 mile round trip, 9 hours+ driving, £95 worth of fuel, I will simply wait for another one to come up. One that has an owner who knows the deep mysteries of bubble wrap, cardboard and a £20 next day courier. So, I can't help but I would guess that life is not dependent on getting this cab immediately. I do hope somebody can help you. Good luck, Karl.
  2. The bit of opinion I always love is all Mexican Fenders are crap. As neepheid pointed to, nobody has played one thousandth of Fender Mexico's output, so therefore any opinion is based on an infinitesimal test base. FWIW pretty much every Mex Fender I've tried have been good to excellent, but that is just my experience. People who put out STATEMENTS based on a tiny bit of experience should be visited in the small hours and have a pint of maggots put down their Y fronts.
  3. [quote name='highwayone' timestamp='1401396582' post='2463324'] Cheers Karl [/quote] Cheaper than most Japanese, only a little above what folk are asking for most standard Mex. Absolute bargain for a US bass. The Highway one jazz I had was terrific.
  4. Fabulous basses. AMAZING PRICE
  5. Can you put sold in your advert please so the MODS can close this topic. So I don't keep coming back to it!
  6. Try North West Bands if you haven't already. I have a link to our page below (the BBGM link). Lot of gigs through this site
  7. Sorry Mr Solo, only looking to part x this (plus cash to other party) on a Fender Custom Shop jazz. Or perhaps a Bongo
  8. Gents, the seller has not been on the site since Oct 30th last year. Whilst the bass is probably long gone, you may get a better response by PM'ing him.
  9. [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1401298810' post='2462228'] Might that be something in Burgundy Mist? Whatever the case, have a "how is this still here?" bump, on me. [/quote] Might be I did ask Mark at Bass Direct for X amount against the lovely Custom Shop 60 stacker (that has been changed to VVT, but stackers still with it ) but he couldn't quite go to what I needed for this, against that one. He's got a profit to make so fair enough. Mind, that Burgundy Mist Ta for da bump
  10. [quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1401292701' post='2462147'] Sod it - jump now, balance the books later.......PM'ed [/quote] [quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1401298972' post='2462231'] Go Martyn [/quote] The North West Chapter strikes again
  11. The only reasons this has been here for the last week and a half are a 9 hour round trip, 440 miles, £95 worth of petrol. Somebody is going to get lucky. Bump.
  12. Cheers Tim. Folk are putting 90's jazzes up for £900. There is a 1999 one of these Hot Rod's for sale, Southside, Glasgow (on Bumtree) at an eye watering £1100 . I am now really looking to help fund a Fender Custom shop, but I'm not going to give this away. Hence, probably last bump. Might put the 2011 White/maple/black P back up. Cheers, Karl.
  13. Skej, what sort of lead time did Mark quote you please?
  14. That is stunning, wow
  15. It's a bloody ridiculous steal of a price. Difficult to understand why this is still here.
  16. Oh God, Mark has a Burgundy Mist J and Fiesta Red P, both reliced, on his site at the moment. Really struggling to avoid the J
  17. NOTE FOR MODS. Liam saw my ad for this bass on Gumtree. I advised him to check my feedback on here. He ended up joining
  18. JV's were going out at up to an astronomical £1500 a couple of years ago. Quite a few in the £1200 bracket. Now bringing not a lot more than half that. Dingus is right of course, but there are more complex reasons at work as well.
  19. Link updated but not sure if the poster's security settings allow public viewing, as it obviously just comes straight up for me. If it doesn't work, try Karl Altdorfer on Faecesbook. As I stated, it's low quality on a phone camera, you can just about hear a bit of bass. Mind you, when people have done this in the past, you couldn't hear ANY bass.
  20. [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1401130853' post='2460435'] I'm just curious but in what way did it impact on the 2nd hand market? [/quote] Well for example Marcus Miller jazzes. As they came to the end of the Japanese production, they were selling new at over £1000. So people put them up second hand at £750/£850. A quick search on t'interweb showed that their 2004 (for example) MM had sold new for £449. So people looked at £850 second hand and thought privately, " ye hav te be jokin bonny lad".
  21. Tim, don't know if you are aware of the US folks in the following link, but they do a superb range of top quality decals for fretboards including fake MOP. That Bob Glaub with the Billy Sheehan fret markers, they came from Creative Cuts. Reasonably priced, excellent quality and service and even a goon like me can fit them http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/creative-cuts
  22. I think there are a lot of factors at work. Huge amounts of basses for sale here. Many of us have been spoilt for choice over the last few years. FEEBay has seen sellers push up prices to cover the 13.4% you CAN be charged, some folk try for the same sort of price on here as is seen for an item on FEEBay. Once upon a time you would see the numbers online indicator at the bottom of the home page showing 3000/5000 online, now it rarely shows more than about 500. That suggests a significant drop in people viewing, unless of course the method of counting them has changed. Oh, and a lot of folk are skint.
  23. Is this "relatively" cheap because it's a set neck? Pity Norwich is 4.5 hours each way for me . Oh and it's a 5 string [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/warwick-dolphin-sn5-bass-guitar-excellent-condition/1026884159#photo-content"]Warwick Dolphin SN5 Bass Guitar - Excellent Condition! | Long Stratton | Gumtree[/url]
