bigsmokebass replied to bigsmokebass's topic in Basses For Sale
seen a few VM's on here for same price but this bass has been played no more than 5 times and im open for offers!! ibanez down to £50 -
nice bass, bump! -
Here im selling my 2003 Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray, 5 string (again) along with my '08 Squier VM Fretless and a 2005 Ibanez GSR205 (with j/j config, not h/h s displayed). [s] The musicman stingray is one of the most iconic basses of all time, they sound fantastic with thier signature humbucker pickup, a contoured body for extra comfort either standing up or sitting down, 5 string is great making lower octaves more available without tuning down....i could go on but my reason for sale is just to free up some space and save money for when me and my girlfriend move in together. The other two basses I'm not so 'bothered' about BUT the musicman is a fixed price so please do not haggle, this is a great bargain which you wont come across for a long time. [/s] [center]I also have a Ritter gig bag for sale if you would prefer to buy one for your bass/for added protection while shipping. ([color="#FF0000"]+£10[/color] to squier/ibanez and postage) [s] [b]Musicman SR5[/b], [u][color="#FF0000"]£750[/color][/u] (with free SKB case + straplocks + setup and new strings) [attachment=48318:_1012621.JPG] [attachment=48319:_1012622.JPG] [attachment=48549:1.JPG] [attachment=48550:2.JPG] [attachment=48551:3.JPG][attachment=48552:4.JPG][/s] [b]Squier VM Fretless[/b], [color="#FF0000"]£175[/color] pretty much new condition.

in all fairness i have a BA115 by behringer, not a problem other than a heavy cab.... but arent they all? yeah ok, they don't look or sound like ampeg, GK, fender, markbass and neither something i'd really boast about but its lasted me well (4-5years), recorded and gigged well. so what more could you ask for? i think at the time it JUST cost me over £100 so not all too bad but i wouldnt put anything down untill you've tried it, and this goes to everyone. edit: get whats in your budget zone too, you can always upgrade in a few months/years time, no rush =]

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='791171' date='Mar 30 2010, 09:34 PM']what is it with them stupid plastic knobs. The bongo has them too i think? I tried out a bongo and would never have bought it just because of the wee annoying plastic knobs[/quote] aluminium apparantly, i remember reading about that in bass mag (UK) on the bongo 6 model and being corrected by ernie ball saying they weren't plastic. i totally agree with you though, for a manufacture of this calibre you think you would get better quality overtime, eg. "plastic"-->metal knobs, buttons--->switches and small--->large/'average' bodies for big buck. one good thing about this bass is perhaps the pickups, they do sound immense on the bongo as well as warwick basses but everything IN MY OPINION looks cheap and poorly designed.

Withdrawn due to lack of sale and interest. [size=4][b]IF[/b][/size] you are still interested, the offers + T&C's still apply but PM me QUICK! Anything after a week of this date then this is officially over and i shall'nt reply or message. Thank you all for the comments and messages, good and bad. -
ahhhhahaha oh dear, i feel a right fool now. thank you for the correction... its the scouse accent that i hear from my family: really fast and blurred i always for it was strat haha *fod* (")-_-)
-
could be wrong but didn't know badass bridges were around in the 70's &would you really put one on a 70's bass or keep it vintage?
-
oh sorry, i meant the phrase "strat for cash" (i think) meaning not flush and you'd have to prize the penny from my fingers haha Clumsey me to say that on a guitar site >_< i do have a tele copy for sale though, got a dent but plays and sounds well.
-
Thank you very much XGSJX, luckily i now have a buyer but your thoughts have meant alot to me =D Never thought i'd come to sell EVERYTHING though, it is truely sad but everyone on here has helped and lifted abit of the weight off my shoulders and help put a smile on my face. I only have to sell my MM SR5 and a guitar + amp set to be nearly evens with my debt *sigh*
-
well that "wood and wire" sounds and feels alot better and cheaper than some other expensive "wood and wire" Just my general opinion on the ol' "wood and wire" then again, where would we be without the "wood and wire"? most of us wouldn't know what to do lol =] edit: Salesman job please ;] haha
-
I don't as of yet but home for the weekend, have some by then. I know it will look scuffy with the paint job but genuinely, it has served its use well with me in the studio, i would still keep it if money wasn't an arsehole. Price only low as easy to sell, no problems what so ever!! edit: i can't offer postage for obvious reasons but i could try my best of meeting you 'halfway' if thats any help? PM for quicker response =] -
[quote]As ive heard that the P bass pick config can be limited (or am i wrong) Do they make a Pbass with an added Jazz pickup? what are they like.[/quote] They do, its just as usual but with the advantage of a high end boost, i tried the Fender MIM (deluxe?) one not that long ago with the active circuit and sounded really good for a few hundred =] Fender also made an American Deluxe with a humbucker or the ELITE with two Precision pickups (not sure how old) some can be seen around though i've never tried one. Personally, I do prefer it 'standard' and bassy version ^_^ [quote]What am i looking at price wise for a used year 2000+ Precision...are the latest models the best? USA or CIJ/MIJ...???[/quote] A few hundred? If your looking at Fenders they have a whole range as you might already know. Some think the MIM (Mexican) Pbass is the best to go for and upgrade yourself to save on the old wallet/ purse strings of the ol' expensive Americans, although, i do have my heart set on the 08 models. I have a MIJ 51 Ris, get a phat sound from it but built like a telecaster, it has a blocky build with no contours but great for the money. I now there are more Jap's out there but not sure what price ranges are but i know they're 'The sh*t'!! Welcome to the Precision World anyhow and hope you enjoy your stay, haha

My first bass was a Westfield Pbass, i didn't like the pick ups or tuners but in general a really good bass and like comments above, giggable! They may be cheap imports but i think if they spent a little more money on the build: better bridge, pick ups, tuners, they could have a really good bass.... perhaps almost as good as a Squier or Epi's. One benefit was that I thought they were really light too. I still have it today, don't think i'd part with it no matter how good other basses are
-
Don't get me wrong, you see one going cheap and you like it, go for it! I haven't seen many go and when they have, hasn't been cheap. What shop be that? Sounds ace, ones near me are complete sh*t and nasty or sh*t service *cough* Dawsons *cough*. I do like Warwicks, they too pack a punch and versatile also but would personally save up and buy one new, even if they do go over £3k =]

strat for cash =[
-
Untill the 18'th of Feb, I'm offering this bass for [size=5]£850[/size] as long as you pay for UK postage!

-

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='739532' date='Feb 8 2010, 10:55 PM']Your revised figure of £6-800 will get you almost any used Stingray you want. The Stingray 5's are among the best mass produced 5-stringers around, having an almost unlimited tonal range from Status-like hifi to single coil P-alike grunt. Why did I sell mine?! [/quote] I totally agree, especially with the S/H or H/H config' .... LOTSA BASS!! but even with just the single humm bucker, they're legendary beasts that have a tone of thier own that will fit any musical style what-so-ever and considering 'mass produced' they feel unique and a better sence of sentimental value. totally worth their weigh in gold. Shame i'm selling mine but its for pastures new in this bass world =] £950 shipped or £800 collected or meet halfway
-
i did actually box up the guitar i was supposed to send but they actually wanted a hardcase or no interest in sending it. (stupid though as i could'a bounced the guitar off the floor and wouldnt do ought to it.) Thank you for all the recommendations, means alot ^_^
