Still for sale people :-( [quote name='Shawman' post='1182109' date='Mar 30 2011, 12:58 PM']if you can fit an extra string on there i might be interested![/quote]

Good Lord. I think thats the bass i sold you a long time ago ;-) Looks very nice :-) I have sold so many basses on here sometimes i just loose track haha. How much are you selling it for? Brian [quote name='garbev' post='1209340' date='Apr 23 2011, 05:56 PM']I've been putting this off for a while but I'm just not playing it anymore and I hate instruments as household ornaments. This has been my main gigging and recording 5 string since I bought it off the forum a few years ago. I'm mainly playing 4 strings these days and I have another five for the rare occasions when it's required. It's an early model(No2291) Basic 5, not one of the pre Gibson models but I belive it's a '93 model, it has the "Tobias" stamped bridge and it originally had a Bartolini XTCT preamp. The preamp failed around a year ago so I had a Bart NTMB 3 band fitted. The bass has a 34 inch scale 5 piece Maple and Purpleheart asymmetric Through Neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard, with solid Flamed Maple body wings. Bartolini pups and preamp, Tobias bridge and Grover Tuners. String spacing at the bridge is 17.5mm It's in good condition, some dings at the lower bout of the body, frets are very good and the dual truss rods work perfectly, it's set up with a low action and is buzz free all over the neck. When I bought the Bass I had some concerns about a mark at the top of the neck near the headstock, I obviously queried this with the seller who assured me the bass had not suffered a headstock break. Trusting man that I am I had it checked by a local Luthier, Gary Lewis based in Neath who thought it could have been a gouge or scrape on the neck caused by a sharp object, as there was no evidence of damage from any impact at the front or rear of the headstock, I've tried to show this mark on some closeups of the mark and the headstock. The bass plays and sounds fantastic, the B string response is brilliant sounds like an extension of the E string....best way I can describe it . Have a look: Some pix of the headstock: The Bass comes with a Tobias hardcase this is in pretty good nick but the combination locking latch is broken. I took the guitar to the first South Wales bass bash....RIP Si....and everyone who played it were very impressed. Tradewise I'm looking for a Stingray4, USA 70's reissue jazz or USA 50's reissue P Bass Ideally with maple f/boards. I don't mind a Japanese Fender but would want some cash on top. I'm in S.Wales but don't mind driving M4/M5 for fuel costs, or could courier. I'll be in London next Weekend visiting family. Thanks, Gary.[/quote]

The bass is in mint condition ;-) [quote name='Jonnyrocks' post='1207445' date='Apr 21 2011, 07:46 PM']I have a btb 400 myself, dunno if it's exactly the same thing, but I have always been very pleased with its results. It's an amazingly versatile bass and if you get accustomed to it, you can pretty much get any sound you want out of it, I remember paying 400€ for it with a set of elixirs on it, so £200 can be considered a good price if in good state. I recommend it to anyone! Good luck with your sale Jon[/quote]

[quote name='bkman42' post='1136199' date='Feb 21 2011, 09:35 PM']Bought this fantastic bass from a fellow basschatter at the weekend. Its a stunning bass and has one hell of a sound. It's 35 inch scale, neck thru with Bartolini active pickups. The finish of this bass is a real show stopper :-) The only reason i am selling is due to the fact the neck is a tiny bit wide for my taste :-( Bass is 100% mint and from the look of it has had pretty much no use! I will include free shipping. Thanks for looking folks[/quote] Price drop ;-)

anyone? a lot of bass for not a great deal of money :-)

Hi, Up for grabs is a DOD DEEP FREEZE BASS CHORUS PEDAL for £30 inc P&P in U.K. I have had this pedal in storage for Years!! So if anyone wants it let me know. Zero damage or use to pedal. Don't have box for pedal but it will be sent out boxed and well packed. Brian

Still for sale. Really need to get this bass moving as it's collecting dust haha [quote name='Evil Undead' post='1164815' date='Mar 16 2011, 08:10 PM']No problem mate I'd be on it like a shot if I could see the LTD but we'll see what happens there![/quote]

Bass still up for grabs but looking for a cash sale or a trade for a sterling bass (with cash on top) Thanks Brian [quote name='Evil Undead' post='1164676' date='Mar 16 2011, 05:38 PM']Trade for a very nice LTD B155DX? Hoping it hasn't gone on evilbay yet [/quote]

Aw well no great interest in this bass so going to put on evil bay tomorrow :-) [quote name='bkman42' post='1136199' date='Feb 21 2011, 08:35 PM']Bought this fantastic bass from a fellow basschatter at the weekend.

Thanks for the offer mate but the OLP's ain't really the bass for me. Brian [quote name='Spolodaface' post='1155208' date='Mar 9 2011, 12:54 PM']hmm, would you consider trading for a OLP Tony Levin MM5? almost a musicman [/quote]

No great interest as yet in the bass :-( It's a real shame as its a super bass at a low price. Would consider a trade for an Ibanz ATK700 or a sterling or Stingray 5 (With cash on top) Brian

I also have a BTB470 bass for sale for £230 which is one hell of a bass :-) [quote name='Sean' post='1142787' date='Feb 26 2011, 08:21 PM']Is this still around? Where are the "what's the best bass for beginners" thread starter crowd? Outstanding instrument for 130 knicker![/quote]

Not a sarcastic remark mate. What i should have said was it's the least i can sell it for :-) Sold 5 basses via basschat and always had great luck, as for ebay not a big fan of using it to be honest :-( [quote name='budget bassist' post='1138705' date='Feb 23 2011, 03:29 PM']I'm not sure if that was a slightly sarcastic remark or not, but I'm just saying, it can take a little while to shift them, try and be patient. If you get rid of it on here, you'll probably be better off than doing it on ebay.[/quote]

Yeah, its a great bass mate and sounds wicked through my ampeg amp :-) [quote name='garethfriend' post='1137621' date='Feb 22 2011, 08:11 PM']If my money situation sorts its self out I'll have it back Cracking bass, been looked after.[/quote]

Thanks for pointing that out :-) [quote name='budget bassist' post='1137545' date='Feb 22 2011, 07:35 PM']Last price drop? You've only had it on for a day![/quote]

Price drop:-( Last price drop for a fantastic bass! Give me a shout before the weekend if you want to buy before i put on evilbay :-) [quote name='bkman42' post='1136199' date='Feb 21 2011, 08:35 PM']Bought this fantastic bass from a fellow basschatter at the weekend.
