    Great guy to sell to (he bought my Markbass SA-450). Great communication and top bloke.

    I bought this two years ago on here and it's been my backup amp ever since (so it's been used a few times only, though I've had it serviced and pat tested) It was made in 2007 in Italy. Here's the Markbass web link. http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/sa-450/ I'm only selling as I need something with a xlr input.

    Big, I wish you'd never mentioned me in this post

    Do a search on here and you'll find out more about it. As I said before, this was supposedly made as a one off for one of his managers. The date is stamped into the woodwork (I don't remember the date but it was definitely early 90's ?????? '93, but don't take my word for it).It was identical to my other early 90's Milan V except that had the whole name on the headstock. Dont necessarily rely on online guitar dating forums. I once had an Eggle Berlin guitar which I was assured by an Eggle online forum that it was made after Patrick had left. After I'd sold it for less that I wanted someone who I knew at the time (a guitar shop owner who knew both my just sold guitar and Patrick Eggle himself) asked Patrick about the Berlin and Patrick assured him that it was one of his and was basically worth far more than the online forum dating had said it was (I hope that makes sense). Patrick's venture into acoustics, Faith etc is well documented and the factory bearing his name is still making guitars and basses to his old design whilst he is making new guitars under his full name, but look at the guitar in the flesh. Look at the engraved date in the wood and then decide.

    Yup it was mine till a couple of weeks ago its an early 90's - printed on the back of the headstock - (The Gallery isn't likely to get details like that wrong, especially when its engraved into the wood) I cant remember who used to have it (on BC) who used it all around the world with the likes of Vanessa Mae - do a search for this bass on here and you'll find out its background. I understand it was a one off made by Patrick for one of his mangers. It was active but I'm not a fan of batteries so replaced the pickups with the passive equivalent Kent Armstrongs (I actually have Kent Armstrong active pickups for sale for this bass on BC). I put an Ohm on all my instruments - it's the sign for universal healing sound (not that my bass playing is up to that standard - nothing blasphemous about putting any sacred sign on anything, and it definitely isn't 'plastered' - you can always peel it off. I loved it so much that I bought another early 90's Milan V straight after this one (exactly the same shape, bolt on, but not the fancy paintwork or ebony fretboard that this one has), but I wanted to cut down on my basses, so rather than have two 'good' basses I part-ex'd them for one 'very very good' bass - an AV Basses PJ5. it weighs about 8 1/2 lbs and is a beautiful bass. If I had the space etc I wouldn't have sold either Eggle, but that's life

    These - I've got the widest ones and they are perfect for me (and I've tried loads of different ones over the years) http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Maruszczyk_straps.html

    Roman just bought a set of EMG's from me. Great guy and I would happily deal with again, any day
  11. 6feet7
    Exactly. Actually I could get one of these and have a new neck made/adapted and fit a new bridge and pickups (it wouldnt be perfect but then it's a travel bass, so it doesn't need to be custom shop spec
  12. 6feet7
    Thanks for that but I was hoping to find out before I went out and bought one (just so I've a rough idea if it's a workable idea or not).

    I'm looking at converting a 5 string Steinberger/Hohner headless bass into a travel bass - where I can take the neck off so it all fits into hand luggage. I need to know where the truss rod ends at the body otherwise I can't do it. Does anyone have an idea where it starts/ends?

    It was the colour that attracted me. I wouldn't have looked at it if it hadn't have been 'eye catching'.

    Interesting that you have the P pickup the other way round. Does it make a difference?

    After having seen Scott's Bass Lessons video on why Pro's use a P bass I had to do something about it (I thought I was GAS free, but this was only a passing phase). I always swore I would never play a Fender ever again (partly because nearly every crap bass ever made looks like a Fender. Secondly I've never found one I gelled with (though the best sounding bass I ever had was a 1980's Tokai Hardpuncher P bass with a Nordstrand pickup) and thirdly, because I now play 5 stringers only, I couldn't find one that didn't give me a hernia every time I tried lifting one. Anyway, I was looking at the Bass Gallery's website and the most gorgeous looking bass just jumped out at me. A 5 string P/J bass made by AV Basses of the Czech Republic in the most wonderous bright, almost Lamborghini green, with Nordstrand pickups and only weighing 8.6lbs. After a quick email to see if they would take my two early 1990's Patrick Eggle Milan V basses as a part-ex I was on the train up to London and the deal was done. I now have the best of a P and and a J in something lightweight and eye catching. I couldn't be happier. Normally I have to customise the bass straight away, but all I've done with this beauty is add a thumb rest (not in the pictures) and put my favourite strings on (DR Sunbeams). It doesn't need customising as I'm sure there isn't another bass out there that looks like this one.

    Welcome Tim. I find I spend more time on here than actually practicing, so best of luck with your 'refining' :).

    EMG-40P5 and EMG-40J (their version of a P and J pickup) With wiring/preamp (see photos as I'm not too sure whats what and if bits of this need replacing) Removed from a bass I bought last year. From the website: The EMG 40P5 is our P bass pickup in an Extended range housing with the treble magnet closer to the neck (like a Spector or Yamaha bass). The EMG 40P5 covers a wide sonic palette of classic and modern bass sounds. Because this pickup utilizes ceramic magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone has brilliant high-end articulation, warmth, and incredible low end punch. Countless pros use this bass pickup because of its natural presence, superior dynamics, and low noise. For players who want a "Fender" P alignment - with the treble side closer to the bridge - we offer this pickup in "reverse". Utilizing EMG's solderless wiring, this pickup is easy to install at home. The EMG 40P5 uses a 40 Extended housing that is 4 inches (102mm) and is intended for 5 string basses that have a standard string spacing. The EMG 40J is our original J pickup in a Extended series housing for 5 string bass. This pickup has its coil located in the back of the housing - closer to the bridge - which gives it sweeping harmonic overtones and punch. This quiet pickup has classic jazz bass characteristics with a broader tonal frequency range that adds dimensions and clarity. EMG's design has a very low ratio of resistance to inductance, which increases the low end response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet ensures the tone keeps a tight mid-range punch with a dynamic high end. For players who want a slightly more mellow sound, you can order this pickup as a "reverse," where to coil is closer to the neck side (or front) of the cap. This pickup uses a housing that is 4 inches (102mm) and includes EMG's solderless wiring and pots.

    Bought a few years ago and used about half a dozen times. All zips etc working and no tears or rips anywhere. Collection from East Sussex or post - £5.00

    I bought a bass last year and the seller had bought this case for the bass as the old one was knackered. I've never used it so it's pretty much as new.

    How much does it weigh? Thanks
