    Another deal with Jamie. I bought his Streamliner on Wed and he was magnificent getting it to me by Friday (or Sat night's gig was going to be a challenge ). On top of that he put two splendidly useful extras in for me as well. Really nice of him and much appreciated. Absolute pleasure to deal with, fully recommended. All the best Jamie and thanks again .

    [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1469793179' post='3101077'] fad noun an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived; a craze. "some regard green politics as no more than the latest fad" [/quote] Yup, that's me BUT, I was the first to receive one so I'm the trendsetter. Never thought I'd say that!

    [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1469776943' post='3100932'] Found a set of digital food scales that weigh up to 5kg. Good news is the bass doesn't weigh more than that!! It weighs 4.2kg or even more accurately 4232g! [/quote] So about 9lb 5oz in old money. Not bad. Not bad indeed.

    Please advise. Just gota splendid Streamliner 600. The provider from this parish has been extra decent and provided 2 kettle leads (yes I know people HATE that word ). Both leads have 10 Amp fuses. I'm sure the one that was on my Streamliner 900 was a 3 Amp fuse. Definitive advice from expert would be most excellent . I've spent the last half hour with Google being not much use Cheers in advance oh wondrous Basschat Massive!

    As Gareth said, both are likely to be more expensive than the Fender. Whilst as yet we don't know resale on the Flea (apart from one) Maruszczyk and Limelight both seem to suffer from significant depreciation and also seem to appeal to less people second hand. I can understand why that happens, for a couple of reasons.

    Hmm, 3 weeks of quiet-ness. Are we loving this young discreet, or has it been surreptitiously sold on. Come on, your public expects updates . Edit, why is my spelling so sh*t

    Tony has just bought an amp off me. He was decisive, did what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it. Absolute pleasure to deal with and fully recommended by me. Enjoy the amp Tony and thanks again, cheers, Karl.

    One of the side issues is when you perform at wedding gigs, you often get further bookings from attendees if you perform well. If you aren't allowed to perform well, it's likely to cost you business. Which is something of a pisser when it's down to factors beyond your control.

    Thanks Dropzone. Quite a few interested in this bass, most trying to raise funds. Proof of provenance has been supplied to some folk privately, including one of the videos of it in action. Some measurements have been requested by folk so I'm going to put them here. Disclaimer - all measurements done with dodgy 58 year old eyes Nut width 38mm Width at 12th fret approx 53mm Depth of neck at 1st fret approx 20mm Depth of neck at 12th fret approx 21mm Diameter at 1st fret (from top of fretboard E, to top of fretboard G, ie max measurement) approx 60mm Diameter at 12th as above approx 80mm In summary, it's kind of jazz neck, somewhere between a C and D profile Cheers, Karl.

    I always have a slightly higher trade value as I look at a cash price as a slightly discounted valuation. I always price gear at a price I think is fair to both buyer and seller. Nobody has to buy. Nobody has to trade. Two fair minded people with a mutual interest should be able to come to a satisfactory compromise. Just wish I could stop buying, selling and in particular trading. It's becoming a bloody disease thingy .

    I had a Purple Heart Conklin 7 string in the late 90's. Absolutely incredible bass, beautifully made. That is a truly amazing price for a bass of this quality. GLWTS.

    Hmm, I've just had a couple of hours on mine tonight, at rehearsal. 1st time I've actually played it properly. I have set the action a touch higher than I would like. Rectify that this weekend. Spare time has been in short supply this last three weeks. No niggles apart from the action which I'll sort. It's a shame some of these basses do have issues. Playing mine tonight, it was great to play and sounded very good. And there was quite a lot of interest in the studio we use to rehearse. And at 8lb 4oz, it was a joy to use. Sorry to the guys who got basses that weren't satisfactory. Glad I put a Warwick Custom Shop up instead of this. Well, at the moment .

    Splendid!

    Further pm's replied, thanks for all the interest folks. My gear needs have changed since last night, so, I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE A GREAT PART EX DEAL on a Barefaced Gen 3 Super Twin (preferably with cover and cloth front) or perhaps an immaculate Compact + Midget, or two Compacts.
