  1. Well, the trade was hopeful, so now £7 posted or trade. Just bought brand new VMJ Fretless - straight out of sealed box in GAK, not hanging around on a wall and being tried every day - taken off roundwounds - only played by me to test bass this morning, I've now put flats on. Pretty sure they are 45-105. Need a set of nickel straplocks - new/used, hope that seems a fair trade. Mike
  2. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='838482' date='May 15 2010, 09:54 PM']Whatever it's called, you just did it... in style. [/quote] I salute you Happy Jack - you have outclassed both of us.
  3. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='838464' date='May 15 2010, 09:37 PM']I suppose those lines are "finger-markers". [/quote] Come on, accept you've been out-pedanted (if there is such a term)
  4. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='838456' date='May 15 2010, 09:26 PM']See that black plank glued to the front of the maple neck? It's called a fretboard. :ph34r:[/quote] Like on a violin or double bass? Surely without frets it is called a fingerboard.
  5. Sorry, but for an expensive item such as this, you'd like to think the details were correct - or am I just being picky as I can't afford it [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-NEW-FRETLESS-G-L-L2000-USA-BASS-GUITAR-EBONY-/320522541933?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aa0a1db6d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-NEW-FRETLESS-G-...=item4aa0a1db6d[/url]
  6. [quote name='urb' post='715000' date='Jan 16 2010, 06:09 PM']I think this is what you might be lookng for... - er, don't try this at home or on stage: Epic fail... PS I think it's actually a Sei bass that gets trashed... doh! M[/quote] I love the fact that this clip is now sponsored by an instrument insurance company - bet they wouldn't pay out on this!
  7. Henry Lowther and Jim Mullen - used to do a regular pub gig in Catford together. Two great muso's both with amazing histories, playing a free boozer gig in South London - now that's British Jazz for you!
  8. Some people shouldn't be allowed near a musical instrument! Good luck with the restoration - hope you keep us posted.
  9. Looks like it's going to go up a bit from £62 then!
  10. Couldn't find a postable clip - the youtube ones link elsewhere, but just been learning "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt - lovely fretless from James Hatchinson.
  11. [quote name='wesfinn' post='831732' date='May 8 2010, 08:29 PM']This bass isnt connected with Colin Fitch or Fitch Guitars. It looks worth a punt though if the price stays low! Nice looking neck.[/quote] Fitch - of course - been a while since I was up Suffolk way and the old memory is err, what was I saying? Thanks for the eagle eyed spot Wes!
  12. Anyone know of Finch Basses - I know Colin Finch is/was linked with Zoot/Iceni - do you think they'r connected?

  13. Have been gassing for a traditional bass - really wanted a fretless, but seeing what people have been saying about the CV's on here, thought I should check them out. Had just a small job in Brighton today so when I finished, I drove down to GAK (great having a Transit, parked in the loading bay under the watchful eye of 6 wardens and got away with it), to try them out. Having thought I didn't like P Basses - tried a US one with the most enormous neck once, I wanted to try a P and a Jazz together. The quality was, as everyone has been saying, incredible. Checked a Vintage Mod, a Mexican and an Aerodyne and none of them had the same lovely feel that the CV's had. What's more, the P did it for me, so next week, once my Ebay buyer has collected, I'll be the most happily surprised owner of a Squier P Bass - something that before I'd come on here I never thought I would say!
  14. Seems a fairly honest response.
  15. I asked last night for serial number/country of manufacture - no reply yet......
  16. Just where exactly does that spike at the end of a violin go?
  17. [quote name='MB1' post='828577' date='May 5 2010, 04:01 PM']MB1. ....Cheaper than Waynepunkdudes Tuner?????????????? [/quote] Relatively speaking, yes
  18. [quote name='MIJ-VI' post='827217' date='May 4 2010, 10:58 AM'][url="http://archive.basssessions.com/oct07/Randall.html"]http://archive.basssessions.com/oct07/Randall.html[/url][/quote] See, I'm way behind - only have one 5 string BG and an EUB so I don't even qualify for that link! STill, found some more stuff to sell - now where did I put that granny
  19. Just put this on Ebay with a BIN of £70 (plus £15 carriage - pretty weighty). Anyone on here wants it at the BIN price I'll chuck in 6 decent quality patch leads as well. They sell new for over £150 now. Holes drilled in board to take Dunlop CryBaby. Thanks, Mike [attachment=48880:ebay_may_10_005.JPG][attachment=48881:ebay_may_10_002.JPG][attachment=48882:ebay_m ay_10_004.JPG]
  20. [quote name='Balcro' post='826853' date='May 3 2010, 09:31 PM']Do not despair. What was the fretless that kept you awake at night? Balcro. PS. No, I don't have one for sale.[/quote] Just from the pictures it has that vibe [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85336&hl=tokai"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85336&hl=tokai[/url] Now everyone's going to want it!
  21. Just sold my Korean Aria SB on the bay for (no I can't bring myself to say it), so now can't get anywhere near the fretless I was hankering for on here. Anyone found the GAS wonder cure?
  22. Less than hour to go and it is under offer.....
  23. Ending this evening - shortly before 7.30.
  24. What a cracking post - thanks The Funk. Even had some classic "Bass Faces" going on!
  25. Finishes tomorrow (Monday) just before 7.30.
