  1. This time last year I was skint. I sold a jazz that I had owned for nearly 30 years. It was too valuable to gig anymore and too valuable to sit in the house. I now have 3 recent-ish workhorse basses that were relatively inexpensive that do as good a job as I am capable of producing. I also have a '76 Rickenfaker which is the least used and will probably be going to help fund a second Orange cab. I used to get emotionally attached, but not any longer. I hope circumstance get better for you (bloody hell, there's a lot of "I" in that ). Good luck, Karl.
  2. £1000 for a Mexican Jazz. I'll have a pint of what he's drinking Karl.
  3. [quote name='silddx' post='1107396' date='Jan 29 2011, 05:30 PM']Well, mine are both now on hold for BCers. I will still have my Electra build with the Warwick neck. I am swapping two active German Corvettes, a $$ and a Standard Ash fretless for one of these [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/jb66b.html"]http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/jb66b.html[/url] Yes, maybe I am mad, but I will stop at nothing to get it! You will probably see it in a for sale thread in six months [/quote] Enjoy Nige, I have the '75 Japanese non export RI and love it to death. Mind, always liked the short lived Fortress Flashback . Karl.
  4. Wait 'til the the daft lads get in from work, I think it may turn into "one of them threads" Karl.
  5. [quote name='Bassassin' post='1106401' date='Jan 28 2011, 04:38 PM']Interesting, and possibly should be being discussed elsewhere, but - I don't scrupulously clean my basses that often, just a wipe over from time to time, however I wouldn't consider selling a bass that wasn't immaculately clean,. Personally I find it f*cking vile to buy an instrument & then have to spent hours scraping some disgusting sod's encrusted filth off it before I can stomach playing it. Maybe that's just me but it happens a lot. Jon.[/quote] Doesn't that fence hurt your arse Jon ? Karl.
  6. The white '75 RI, blocks and binding, in my sig, is one from Tom. If you are very nice to me, you may get it. IN MY WILL! . Deal with supreme confidence peeps. Karl.
  7. My opinion (for what it's worth) is that is a very keen price for that bass. Luvverly! Welcome to Basschat and good luck. Karl
  8. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. STOP IT Karl.
  9. Deal with confidence peeps, Justin's a top bloke who really looks after his gear. All the best with this mate, I was sorely tempted myself , Cheers, Karl.
  10. Now traded for Lloyd's Orange Terror/SP212. Masive cheers fella . Watch put for my Rickenfaker coming up soon, to help fund a 2nd SP212. Cheers, Karl.
  11. Traded for Lloyd's Orange rig, massive cheers fella . Watch out for my Rickenfaker probably coming up for sale to fund a 2nd SP212. Karl.
  12. Just traded my Eden/SWR rig for Lloyd's Orange Terror/SP212. Highly recommended. Fantastic bloke,great bass player, very easy transaction. Many thanks and enjoy Lloyd, will see you at a Phoenix gig very soon, cheers, Karl.
  13. [quote name='TomTom' post='1100224' date='Jan 23 2011, 10:19 PM']It exactly what im after too mate, just looks like the best compromise of size and sound. I like the fact that you can easily add another small cab for extra oompf too. Hope it works out for you bud.[/quote] Cheers TomTom, totally with you on compromise. Spoke to Lloyd last night and he is keen, however if he gets a cash offer that he likes, I certainly would not blame him for taking it . Stuff I'm selling/trading is stupid amount new, but as long as I don't have to get my hand in my pocket . You are so right about extending as well, a dozen gigs will get me another 2x12 if I get lucky. Fingers crossed, cheers, Karl.
  14. [quote name='TomTom' post='1100166' date='Jan 23 2011, 09:36 PM']Unfortunatley mate, DV247 have the terror and the cab priced at £838 as a bundle. It might not be worth selling if you cant get what you want for it.[/quote] Makes my offer of £1800 worth of gear, (new selling prices), that I PM'd look even better , just hope it's of interest. I'd be happy to take the hit I'm taking as the Terror and SP 212 is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Why is there no emoticon for praying? Karl.
  15. Hello Kalim. Pics to come? How old is this fella as can't find anything on t'internet after 2005 (but I am dim ). Cheers, Karl.
  16. 'k me that is beautiful. Good luck, Karl.
  17. [quote name='silddx' post='1099053' date='Jan 22 2011, 08:27 PM']THIS PLACE IS RUBBIS. NOBODY BYES ANYTHING OR HAS PRECBS FENDERERS. THIS BAS HAVE BEEN HERE FOR TWO DAYS AND ONLY STUPID COMENTS I HAVE HAD. I DO BETTER ON EBAY. THIS IS WASTING MY TIM.[/quote] Oh dear, Carling spray on screen . TIM.
  18. Three PM's replied to. Thanks Justin, really tempted but looking to go bit smaller rather than bigger. MUST stop thinking about your SWR Henry 8x8, especially as I know it will have been obsessively looked after by you . Regarding courier, this lot would cost approaching £100 insured, but the bigger issue is I have absolutely nothing to box them in . So, although I have replied in private, I would just like to publically re-iterate I will deliver within 100 miles of Wigan (think NEC to Carlisle, Wigan about mid way), at £550 inclusive. Cheapest new Goliath 111 I can find is £640 plus delivery from Ireland (Thomann are £740). Cheapest 2nd hand one I can find is £400 plus delivery. Cheapest Son of Bertha I could find was £570 plus delivery, couldn't find a 2nd hand one at the moment. Both cabs are in excellent condition except the paint on 1 handle. Thanks for all the enquiries, Karl.
  19. Sorry for late reply, studio all day. It's not that I don't particularly like it, but I go very much for the John Paul Jones sound and I have found it hard to locate exactly what I want from this amp. The reality is that I had 5 years off and have tried 3 set ups in the year or so I have been back, none of them have been quite what I want. I have pretty much always had amps with Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume and nothing else. Probably because of technical ineptitude (and possibly little patience) I just can't get away with parametrics. Last gig I did, I took off the Distortion, and the EQ section, and put the Enhance to about 10 o'clock and it sounded so much better to my ears, but I'm still not convinced and if I sell it I will be getting something powerful but very simple! Pretty much all of the reviews I have seen on this amp are very good, but I think they were reviewed by folk more switched on than me. Thanks for your enquiry and good luck in your search, Cheers, Karl. edited for spelling as usual! Just noticed, new member, welcome to the forum. It's a terrific place for ideas, technique, gear and what we call "gum banging" in Wigan. When considering buying anything on here, there is a members feedback section in the MarketPlace. Many selling will put a link to their feedback in the 1st post of the advert, as can be seen on my 1st post on this ad. Just click onto it and you will see peoples comments on buying/selling/trading.
  20. This lot are one of the wholesalers that actually advertise them as Rickenbackers. That is where Mr Hall's efforts should be aimed, not some poor git that needs to move on a 35 year old copy. Karl.
  21. Should have put this up before Christmas when Ken was looking for a present . Karl.
