£650?

I like everything about this bass, apart from the headstock.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='353039' date='Dec 12 2008, 07:38 PM']This is the first one I've seen on eBay since I bought mine earlier this year... they're up there with hens' teeth..[/quote]

I have my eye on this and want it, although it's the older version. Still worth a punt though.

Lovely bit of kit at a great price. There's the matching Ashdown 1x15 on eBay at the mo for £100 BIN - could make someone a fantastic rig for not that much dosh!

BUMP at £700

[quote name='BassBod' post='352453' date='Dec 12 2008, 09:32 AM']We've obviously got very similar tastes (except the Wal thing...)[/quote]

Indeed we do! I think I could even get you back to the www (wonderful world of wal) if you tried out my Mk III.

Actually, been meaning to ask you about the K&K system you put in the Martin. Will PM you about it.

Cheers

[quote name='Jebo1' post='352164' date='Dec 11 2008, 09:20 PM']Well, I've been offered a new bass, and I'm thinking of putting this up for sale.[/quote]

What on earth can top a 66 Jazz?

Surplus to requirements as I've gone to a soft hardshell case.



[list]
[*]Leather trim throughout.
[*]Heavy duty denier shell with full-length zip so the bag can be opened flat.
[*]1" foam padding throughout with internal headtsock and bridge protectors.
[*]Large buckle saddle bag type pouch on the front.
[*]Strap hook so you can hang it up!
[*]Dual back-pack straps.
[/list]

Really excellent bag giving superb protection. This is pretty much mint condition, and as over £100 new in the UK I'm asking [b]£75 posted[/b].

Back up for sale at £500 the pair (I won't split them).

Inquiring PM sent...

Price drop on the amp to £700.

[quote name='eude' post='348679' date='Dec 8 2008, 02:57 PM']Try Newtone Strings ( www.newtonestrings.com )
They've made all kinds of custom bass strings for me in the past, scales, guages, taperwound etc. and they do acoustic sets, they might be able to help you out.

On a side note, I find that regular, albeit electric, bass strings fit fine on my 33" bass, so you might get away with a regular set.

Good luck dude,

Thanks for that. Funnily enought I fired off an email to them about 10 minutes ago. Picato have also said they'll do me a set.

Anyone know if/where I can get a set of medium scale acoustic bass guitar strings? I need a 5 string (low set.

Cheers

Still listening to offers...

I would also be willing to trade for a Mesa Walkabout combo plus cash to me, or maybe any other high quality combo for that matter.

I haven't forgotten Rich. You'll get first dibs.

Well done CK, am mulling selling my BMT too...

Offers, anyone?

I was gigging in Guildford one night about ten years ago when Mr Foxton walked into the pub. Funnily enough, we were in the middle of an acoustic set and we were playing "Tube Station" as he came in!

Anyway, he stood at the back of the pub and watched us until we finished our set. Then he came over, bought us all a beer, and sat with us 'til we had to go back on. He was a really nice guy, very modest and unassuming, and it was a pleasure to talk to him.

I've seen him a few times since around and about and he still remembers me each time. Top chap.
