  1. Right got some photos of the above now, dunno how to post on here but PM me and I'll be more than happy to email you some pics, its a black Ibanez BTB 200 in 8/10 condition, few dings nothing major. Asking for £140 delivered just checked online and these are slling for £240 brand new, great first bass if someone is wanting to learn don't really want to get rid of it but I have no choice or room.
  2. [quote name='Leftbass' post='629319' date='Oct 18 2009, 11:00 AM']Where are you exactly? have you been into music shops and looked at the notice boards?[/quote] Near Peterlee, had one lesson but wasn't that struck that was through Durham City.
  3. Any recommendations? I'll travel to Newcastle if anyone knows a good one up there, really want to get my technique sorted cos at the moment I can't play for sh*t.
  4. Can anyone recommend me one? Preferably in the Durham area but I am prepared to travel, decided enough is enough I've finaly bought a nice shiny new bass I just need to learn how to play it now.
  5. When I play I can hear a noise of the strings pressing down on the fret sort of like a metal on metal sound, obviously Im doing something wrong but what?
  6. Ltd Edition 2005 in buttercream with the maple neck. I'll post the pics when it turns up.
  7. [quote name='MB1' post='621582' date='Oct 9 2009, 01:39 PM']MB1. Pics will improve your Sale! [/quote] I will post some pics at some point, I cant sell it until I upgrade anyway cos there's no way I can be bass less.
  8. Upgrading very soon so I'm wanting to move on my BTB200. Its in black in excellent condition I'd give it an 8 or a 9 out of 10. Whats it worth to anyone on here? Now for sale see the 4th post.
  9. Cheers guys keep em comin I love hearin stuff like this.
  10. Can anyone recommend a good book for a beginner to teach themselves?
  11. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140345881560&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Think Im gonna bid as long as the price doesn't sky rocket too much. Thoughts?
  12. [quote name='Sonic_Groove' post='600612' date='Sep 16 2009, 07:12 PM']Yes any warrantee is void -- Also, Do not use Bass Central (Florida) they know this and do not give a sh*t if you get a dud! (I know from bitter experience) B[/quote] Cheers for all of the help boys and girls. Im only looking for a 3eq stingray preferably in natural, but the colour is not that important as long as the condition is good. What should I be looking to pay for one of these any ideas?
  13. [quote name='RhysP' post='600183' date='Sep 16 2009, 01:33 PM']Are you buying new or secondhand? If you're buying new then be aware that any manufacturers warranty you get won't be valid in this country. Also, in case you don't know this, the VAT & import duty is calculated on the combined cost of the bass AND the postage.[/quote] Second hand, looking for a Stingray but there seems to be a shortgae on them on ebay at the moment for what Im willing to pay.
  14. From the US I know that I'll have to pay 3.9% plus vat (not sure if this is 15% for importing or 17.5%) and the the usual handling charge. Are there any other risks I should know about? I've put a post on a EB forum with the serial number just to make sure its a genuine guitar.
  15. Cheers for all the help guys, I will end up with a Stingray at some point even if its not this one.
  16. Cheers for ya help man, are fake MM's a common thing then? Or can I be relatively confident about buying one from ebay? Little bit worrying that this one was only bought 10 weeks ago and now he wants rid of.
  17. The last few I've seen have gone for big money, I was hoping to pay around 600 is this unrealistic?
  18. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150371055134&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Just wondering.
  19. [quote name='Linus27' post='593577' date='Sep 9 2009, 08:41 AM']I have a beautiful natural 3EQ Musicman Stingray with maple neck from 2005. It is in mint condition and plays beautifully. However, I now own a Fender USA 75 Jazz in natural so I fancy changing the natural Stingray for a coloured one. I would also really like to try a 2EQ stingray if possible. So if anyone has a 2EQ Stingray in black or Teal with maple neck and would like to swap for a 3EQ natural Stingray with maple neck then give me a shout. I would consider 3EQ if no 2EQ's are available. I would also consider Pacific Burst or Cherry Burst if either of these are offered. Please note that my Stingray is in mint condition so I would like one of similar quality. Let me know what you have. [/quote] Looks good mate, wish I had something to offer.
  20. [quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='590561' date='Sep 5 2009, 12:37 PM']I [i]swear[/i] I've seen that bass listed regularly with the same photo...just like a stunning mid-90's bright orange burst 'ray with the clear pickguard and maple neck which regularly used to pop up. I am probably wrong, but I'd want to see it in the wood (so to speak) before handing over any cash! Mebby ask for a photo with it and today's paper or something?[/quote] I've sent him a few messages now and there has been no response, might be a dodgy one.
  21. [quote name='budget bassist' post='590340' date='Sep 5 2009, 01:57 AM']£150 maybe? i hope you're not planning to fund a stingray with this alone, i'll assume you're not THAT naive...[/quote] God no, I know the price the Rays tend to go for anything over 100 would be a bonus for mine, I'll just have to leep looking.
