  1. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1456752225' post='2991888'] What a rig! [/quote] Yes it's all you could want in both sound and aesthetics Luke ;(
  2. I bought this 4-88 Decemberish to both fulfill GAS, and provide a project I was involved in with that 'Sound', teaming it up with my Ruach Fretless I (to my ears) achieved the 'Sound' I was looking for after complementing the 4-88 with a 4 Ohm Walkabout Cab and the (hens teeth) footwitch, Utopia! The band imploded due to other unforeseen projects, so now the 'Rig' is redundant as there is nothing in the immediate pipeline that warrants holding onto the setup. So I thought I would enable someone else to fulfill their GAS. It is a fabulous sounding piece of kit especially with the Walkabout Cab and the extra dimension the footswitch adds to the mix. As you can see here: [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/amplifiers/bass/prodigy--strategy-tube-bass-amp-series/bass-prodigy-four-88/index.html"]http://www.mesaboogi...r-88/index.html[/url] Some snaps from the family album: All covered up with the footswitch [attachment=213565:With Footswitch.JPG] And again [attachment=213566:All Covered Up.JPG] Front [attachment=213567:Front.JPG] Rear [attachment=213568:Rear of Rig.JPG] Rear of 4 Ohm Walkabout Cab [attachment=213569:Rear of 4 Ohm Cab.JPG] Rear of 4-88 [attachment=213570:Rear of 4-88.JPG] I used it with a three cab setup using a Passive Palmer Cab Merger, the 4 Ohm Walkabout Cab in series with two 8 Ohm cabs in Parallel this presented an 8 Ohm load to the 4-88. Overkill I know but it is a joy to hear.... So now we must part company. I will split, Cab £350.00, 4-88 inc footswitch £1,575.00, not really looking to trade but you can try me via PM with a Warwick Thumb NT 5 Thanks for looking
  3. Weight 12 kg / 26.5 pounds According to the specs
  4. Some more snaps Body Shot [attachment=213304:Body Shot.JPG] Head [attachment=213305:Headstock.JPG] Most of the neck [attachment=213306:Most of the neck.JPG] Most of the Front [attachment=213307:Lower Front.JPG] Hanging around with my Bro's [attachment=213308:Hanging Around.JPG]
  5. Thanks, it's a RUACH Custom 5, 35", passive Piezzo, NT, nicest sounding fretless yet. I could sell it !
  6. Trade for 5 string Warwick Thumb NT, fretted or fretless, earlier model preferred..... WHY?
  7. Thank you, part chop trades invited
  8. Absolutely no issues at all, with my Pooma 300 and the work of art that was my BonaFide.
  9. Did a trade with Col, met in an M1 Service station (the way you do) goods and money changed hands, I now have a 12" Mesa Walkabout Radiator Cab to put my 4-88 on. Easy guy to deal with, backbone of basschat guys like Col, oh and me of course
  10. I have decided to put this up for sale at a more realistic price, it pains me to see it go as it is an exceptionally figured bass, but I have enough issues with playing a fiver. Poplar Burl Top, matching headstock and pick up covers, Mahogany Body, Maple Neck, Birds Eye Maple fingerboard, bomb proof Hiscox hardcase. Sounds are as you would expect from Overwater, fantastic. 35" Scale Small un-noticeable ding by the input and a small depression on the rear of the neck about the 15th fret. Full Frontal [attachment=211915:Progress Three Elite.JPG] Rear [attachment=211916:Progress three rear.JPG] More snaps to follow or PM me for additional snaps. Ideally a cash sale, but would consider part chop with an 35" Overwater fiver, Jazz, Progress, WHY cash to me fretted or fretless (unlined). Thanks for looking
  11. You must have cleared Thomas out !!!
  12. Just traded my 'P' unlined Fretless for Paul's RH750, straight deal, no messing about met in the wilds of a garden centre just off Junction 12 of the M1 deal done in under 15 Mins and that's 12 mins of chat........ Pleasure doin business
  13. Bump, you need them, if not today, then next week, be prepared. Delivered to you !!
  14. Sad, sad and more sadness.

  18. Gonads... On Holiday
  19. I just traded my Bona never had an issue with it and still have a Puma 300 as a back up and three cabs. But I got an interesting mail Jan 2 from a USA Contact giving me a heads up on all this TecAmp kerfuffle; [i]" [/i][size=3][i]I don't know if I mentioned it in my email, but the Tecamp site is down, only a resignation letter from Thomas is up; his facebook site changed from Tecamp USA to Thomas Eich amplification well, let's see what happens; the weird thing is that Tecamp USA is selling here direct and they are practically now giving the Pumas away, which makes me a bit weary; Bona alleged that Thomas used cheaper Chinese made parts; some consumers here already have issues with the Puma 500, what a mess."[/i][/size] [size=3]Rumour has it that Behringer may have something to do with this.....[/size]

  22. [b][color=#ff0000] [b][color=#ff0000] [size=5]LAST CHANCE BEFORE SANTA TAKES IT BACK: £1,900.00. Will consider all trades to lessen the wallet effect.[/size][/color][/b][/color][/b]
  23. Met Nick at Toddington North yesterday for a 'Multi-trade", took his 4-88 he copped for a CTM 30 and a TH500 and a bit of cash. Deal done and dusted before we met this was just a handover, unfortunately my dog was with me (she is 'post op' and needed supervision) so we didn't get a chance to news over a coffee, nice guy to deal with as can be witnessed in these 'ere pages. Lovin' the 4-88 tried it with a couple of 15's gonna go thro the cab card after the Holiday.
