    [quote name='cheddatom' post='102741' date='Dec 11 2007, 03:28 PM']I don't think anyone disagrees about the sound of ashdown, it's just whether you like that sound or not. He obviously does, so I have nothing to contribute other than my attempt a wit![/quote] Fair enough and good luck with the gig...

    I use the ABM 500 1 x 15" combo with an ABM 4 x 10" cab. I think it sounds great and I've had no reliability issues. OK, it's not got a 'hi fi' sound - but that's not what I want... It sounds organic, full of life, warm and needs very little eq. But of course you have to try it out for yourself, and enjoy!

    [quote name='BB2000' post='102291' date='Dec 10 2007, 06:13 PM']I suspect that it's the fact that it's a korean rather than a Japanese model that's getting under the OP's skin.[/quote] On this point I suspect you're absolutely right

    [quote name='BB2000' post='102312' date='Dec 10 2007, 06:48 PM']I wasn't knocking Korean made instruments[/quote] I love Korean made basses... I've had more problems with MIM and MIA Fenders than Korean Ibanez basses.

    [quote name='BB2000' post='102245' date='Dec 10 2007, 05:09 PM']Each instrument is worth exactly what a buyer is prepared to pay for it.[/quote] Obviously not in this case, he has his doubts, hence the thread This isn't about economic theory, it's about whether the Item was mis-described. The bass very probably isn't over 20 years old, and really isn't 'very rare' either. So I'd say it's not worth what the buyer was prepared to pay for it.

  13. David Nimrod
    My advice would be:- If you haven't paid, try to find a reason not too. £270 is way too much for that guitar. Odd shaped control plate too...

    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='100151' date='Dec 6 2007, 12:48 PM']As a cheapskate bodger with reasonable skills, I'd probably glue on a bit of oversized, carve-able plastic or wood then cunningly fashion it into the required 360 deg shaft with a sharp blade. [/quote] +1 I used bits of cut up cable tie combined with insulating tape... Not perfect, but it works (for now!).

    [quote name='bilbo230763' post='98808' date='Dec 4 2007, 01:39 PM']Its not fun teaching people who want to learn stuff that is of little or no pertinence in terms of their development as a player - 'teach me to shred' would not indicate an inch of genuine commitment to anything remotely musical and I would run a mile. I could work with 'I want ot play the guitar/bass', 'Teach me the scales Malmsteen uses' or 'Teach me the chords to 'Sweet Child Of Mine'. But 'teach me to shred'? Give me a break![/quote] I would totally agree here... a tutor needing the money doesn't justify teaching badly...

    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='98216' date='Dec 3 2007, 04:05 PM']I must admit, it did cross my mind too!! However, if that's the timeframe he's quoting from the outset, I can't complain if he DOES take 5 months...[/quote] Just hope it doesn't take *longer*
  22. David Nimrod
    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='98107' date='Dec 3 2007, 01:45 PM']Jon has confirmed it will take a maximum of 5 months.[/quote] How can it take *that* long to make a Bass? 'Cos he's making quite a few of 'em I guess! Sounds like a fantastic instrument though Gonna have to be patient... patient... patient.

    One question - and apologies if I missed this in the copy... Where's it made?

    [quote name='goobernuts' post='98129' date='Dec 3 2007, 02:06 PM']Hi There, I have a Yamaha BB5000 bass for sale, 5 strings, as you will know. It's vintage white/cream has gold hardware (a little tarnished) I bought it in the 90's and loved it. I played it in a local church twice a week for a few years, so it's never been hammered, still in the origional hard case and they are both in very good condition. I'm selling it because it's taking up space, I play the guitar more than the bass and have access to a few others bass guitars. The thing is I'm not too sure what it's worth now. If there's anyone interested in buying it or anyone who knows enough about them to give a guide price I'd be very happy. Goober[/quote] Hi, it'd be good if you could post a few photos Good luck with the Sale...
  25. David Nimrod
    £299 for a thru neck bass that's as good as you say... Bargain!!! Of course no one'll buy it 'cos it's a Vintage More fool them I guess!
