Met Matt yesterday and was very fortunate enough to buy his Ampeg B-15 from him.

Matt is not only a great guy in general, but also a very experienced and knowledgeable pro-musician who I could happily chat away to for hours.

Thanks very much for a super end to the weekend, Matt - it really was a great pleasure to meet you, and I'll treasure the B-15!

All the best

I had the great fortune and pleasure of meeting Sean, and being able to buy his very special, lovely '62 Fiesta Red P-Bass from him.

Sean is really honest, totally genuine in all ways, and I couldn’t have hoped to deal with a better person.

Thank you very much, Sean – I promise that I will treasure the bass, and feel very privileged you decided to sell it to me.

I cannot recommend Sean enough for anyone that has the opportunity to meet and deal with him.

Just bought an MXR M82 Bass Envelope pedal from Pablo.

A really great guy to deal with - super comms; packaged up the pedal excellently and posted it really quickly.

All round just the sort of person that makes dealing on BassChat a real pleasure.

Thanks again for everything, Pablo.

Just bought a Morley Dual Bass Wah off Nathan.

Really nice guy to deal with - easy and helpful. Great comms.

Thanks again, Nathan.

Thanks for that - had seen that one but looking around for a pre-EB one (phase switch & bright switch as opposed to the 5-way selector).

Surprised that the one on fleabay went for that price, though - would have been a good buy for someone.

Hi all - real long shot, did this ever get sold?

Just bought an Ibanez SR300M + Orange Crush combo off Bob for a friend's daughter to start learning bass on.

Really nice guy to deal with, couldn't have been simpler - great bass & amp.

Thanks again, Bob. Hope the gig goes well tonight.

Cheers

Hi everyone.

I've been lucky enough to buy Ian's Warwick Corvette Proline off him.

It was a real pleasure to deal with him - great guy to talk to and he was really super on the sale of the bass. He packed it up amazingly well, also, when it came to shipping it, I don't think it could have been more safely packed unless it was in a lead box!

Definitely someone to deal with with the utmost confidence - all round a top guy.

Cheers
James

Lovely bass - isn't often a Sabre comes up for sale, particularly one that hasn't seen much better days!

Have a bump from me, and best of luck with the sale (If I had the money.....)

What was the original colour of it, by the way? Any idea?

Cheers
James

Bought an MXR pedal off Mike.

Really nice guy to deal with; great communication and a top gent all round.

Thanks again, Mike - it was really good to meet you.

Cheers

Hi there.

Just dropped you a PM.

Hope to hear from you soon.

[quote name='lettsguitars' post='1254981' date='Jun 3 2011, 05:40 AM']what's the weight like on these babies? i could never get my head around this particular shape. doesn't the head go through the floor? is this basically a series 1 with a signature on top. there's an interesting word about sig's on ken smith's site. ya gotta love alembics though. good luck.[/quote]
Alembics certainly aren't light basses on the whole (some people do have them custom-made a bit lighter than the standard off-the-shelf ones, though). The Series instruments (1 & 2) are very different in sound, and build, to the Signature instruments. The electronics in the Series instruments, alone, are considerably different, they have single-coil pups to start - if you look on the Alembic web-site you can see that to have Series electronics on a bass adds thousands of dollars to the price on its own.

That said - all Alembics are well built top-end basses and the signature models give great sounds and are lovely basses. Someone has picked up a beauty at a great price.

Just bought a BOSS NS-2 and a Napalm Loop from Ash.

Perfect person to deal with; great to chat to and really quick to reply to any e-mails; packaged both pedals up really well and posted them off to me very quickly (they arrived the next day).

Couldn't ask for more.
Thanks very, much, Ash. It was a real pleasure.

SOLD!

SOLD!

Great cab - if I hadn't just bought a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 then I'd have seriously thought about this, although at 60kgs I reckon it might be a bit too much on the heavy side.

Have a bump from me, though, for a lovely looking cab and best of luck with the sale.

Hi everyone.

So - I've just bought my first item from another Basschat member (Matt Denney - "overwater#1") and he kindly suggested I should start up a feedback thread so anyone can share their experiences of talking / dealing with me (all of which I sincerely hope have been very pleasant!!!).

All constructive comments readily welcomed.

Thanks a lot for reading / posting.

All the best
James

Thanks, Gary.

PM'd back.

BUMP for new photos.

BUMP for new photos.

Hi all.

I have a new 2U Citronic flightcase for sale.

This is a professional flightcase with black panels, aluminium edging, service mount sprung flip catches; comes packaged still in its original bubble wrap and with all the screws / fittings etc... (take a look at [url="http://www.citronic.co.uk/product/171.730UK"]http://www.citronic.co.uk/product/171.730UK[/url] for the details). I've only taken the case out of the original bubble-wrap bag it comes in to take the photos, and it is now packaged up exactly as new again.

I got this as part of a package deal on a QSC RMX2450 amp that I bought, but I don't really need it as I've a 3U case already that I'm going to use for the amp and my pre-amp (and will be dropping the effects unit from the rack - I've gone back to pedals!)

These retail for around £70 as I understand it, so I thought £55 (including postage by Parcelforce to anywhere in the UK) would be fair. I'd sell for less if someone wants to collect from South-West London.

Let me know if you need any more details on this.

Thanks very much
James
