[quote name='Spoombung' post='990978' date='Oct 17 2010, 11:24 AM']I still think it's a good idea to get the Brook guys to put it on the 'Shop' part of their website; they'll be very happy to help. I'm sure it's more likely to sell there than here, in all honesty... and it would be a shame to undervalue it here. You've got it for a very low price considering it's a world class instrument.[/quote]
Thanks for the comments guys. I agree that the price is ridiculous, but I guess that's the market right now.
I've spoken to Simon and we'll be putting it up on the site in due course. He also said he felt [b]£1600[/b] was about right for it, so I'll leave it at that on here for now. Not that it looks like anyone will be buying it soon anyway.
I have one of [url="http://www.levysleathers.com/product;m1"]these[/url] in black. Pretty much mint.
UK prices seem to be around £14 new, so how about [b]£9 posted first class[/b].
Paypal as a "gift" is okie dokie.
Cheers

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='990127' date='Oct 16 2010, 12:41 PM']Why are you selling this? Probably one of the nicest basses on the site[/quote]
I know. It's stunning to look at and just as much fun to play, but my requirements have changed as I am upgrading my EUB and don't have the spare readies to keep this too.
£700 plus postage for the bass, upgraded knobs, Helicore strings, hard case, gig bag and stand.
These are £899 new without the extras (£100 odd for the strings, £50 for the case, £40 for the stand).
Cheers

[quote name='Clarky' post='982449' date='Oct 9 2010, 12:23 PM']Just put the Presto strings on my Aria EUB. What a difference. From being (in my hands at least - not those of the manly Beedster ) virtually unplayable with transatlantic cables, its now very slick and easy. Sounds good through the MB combo too and a pretty good approximation of a DB. Now considering whether I should swap over the Thomastiks on my DB to these or similar gut-alikes (Silver Slaps/Honeys) ....[/quote]
Lower tension strings make the Aria for me.
If this was a Facebook post I'd give it a thumbs up "Like", but as it is I'll just do this
If it was a Bouzouki or Octave Mando I'd have had it, but as it is my bass player's hands are too big for the skinniest of skinny necks!
Bump for a nice lookin' item!
