  1. Saturday morning, mug of coffee in hand type of bump!
  2. Evening boomp for all you new listeners ;o)
  3. Up for grabs is my Goodfellow Player Lined Fretless. It's an early example of Bernie's craftmanship - number 068. The bass was bought from new and was originally a fretted bass which I had defretted by an expert luthier using maple liners. The bass is a beautiful example of birds eye maple with wooden tuning pegs, gold hardware and those lovely wood covered pickups with thumb indent. The bass is strung with half flats and the tonal palette is awesome. You can get that typical fretless sigh through to some window pane rattling highs. The bass comes with the original Goodfellow embossed case, certificate of authenticity and all the patina associated with a well loved quality instrument. There are a couple of very tiny chips to the body and an equally tiny one on the headstock. You can't see them from a few inches away and they certainly do not detract from the look and sound of this gorgeous bass. I'm only considering selling as I need to raise some funds at the moment. I'm looking for [b]£650[/b], which I think is a bargain price for this quality bass.
  4. [quote name='edstraker123' post='1122295' date='Feb 10 2011, 07:56 AM']If it is the stock bass I tried to buy this one from Jon just before Christmas only for him to tell me he'd sold it the day before. I was absolutely gutted as it is a work of art. Can't believe you are selling it so soon ![/quote] Needs must I'm afraid. This is the one from the site with a few added tweaks/mods to my requirements. The Hiscox ABS case was bought brand new at the same time and the asking price is only what I eventually paid. I'll give the bass a couple of days and then clear out the attic, put it all on the bay and see if I can keep hold of the Shuker ;o)
  5. Va Va Voom bump for all you early evening listeners ;o)
  6. [quote name='KERMITNT' post='1121205' date='Feb 9 2011, 11:59 AM']wow whats the weight of this beauty ??????[/quote] Weight-wise (I have an aversion to scales as they have a tendency to lie about my weight), the Shuker is much lighter than my Sei 4 NT and my Goodfellow Player. It's also about half the weight of a Thumb 4 NT! I'd be guessing but it must be around the 8lb mark.
  7. Just a tentative feeler at the moment but I need to consider selling my very recent purchase of this piece of Shuker loveliness. The bass hasn't left the house since it arrived and has only been played a couple of times. The spec is: Shuker 4 string horn bass 33"scale 24tret maple and wenge laminated neck rosewood f/board two way trussrod carbon fibre reinforced neck 2mm white side dots simulated mother of pearl block markers buckeye burr headstock veneer gotoh gb7O7 tuners satin neck lacquer medium fretwire swamp ash body buckeye burr drop top polyester basecoat satin top coat individual bridge units Delano JCAL& MCAL pickups Seymour Duncan 3 band e q Graphite black hardware nutwidth- 41mm 12th fret width-56mm – depth of neck at 1st fret 20.1mm depth of neck at 12th fret- 21.8mm 16"radius As you can see it's a beautiful piece of craftmanship. I'm only looking for the price I paid, which is [size=2][b]£925[/b][/size]. This includes the case, which was bought new with the bass. [attachment=71684:IMG_0154.JPG] [attachment=71685:IMG_0155.JPG] If circumstances change I might be interested in a trade...

  12. [quote name='MikeBass' post='1096943' date='Jan 20 2011, 11:01 PM'][i]"this beauty is from the period when Warwick used slightly lighter woods (and better quality too)." [/i] certainly is!!! my 1990 NT 5 string is the dogs - if I had the readies , I'd be nestling this baby between my 1990 fiver and my1988 4 string. gorgeous![/quote] Thanks, MikeBass. It really is a beaut! The body wood is one of the most unusual I've seen on a Thumb. The pattern changes depending on the light and from which position the bass is in! A really tactile bass - I'm almost convincing myself not to part with it, hmmm?
  13. [quote name='Scooby' post='1096005' date='Jan 20 2011, 09:25 AM']Now considering selling for £1150[/quote] Afternoon cup of tea bump ;o)
  14. [quote name='Scooby' post='1095427' date='Jan 19 2011, 05:58 PM']Cheers, but I'm just looking to trade at the moment.[/quote] Now considering selling for £1150
  15. [quote name='silddx' post='1095358' date='Jan 19 2011, 04:54 PM']Nice Wick! You need to state the price you want for it though mate. Good luck with the sale.[/quote] Cheers, but I'm just looking to trade at the moment.
  16. [b][/b]Here's my Warwick Thumb NT 4 that is happily snuggled in its Warwick gig bag out of the cold! It hasn't been gigged for a while and I'm wondering whether it might find a new home - not 100% certain I want to let it go but it just isn't getting used. Here's the spec from Warwick: Bass: Thumb NT 4 string Bass Serial Number: E-2301-90 Year: 1990 Month: May Number: 2301 Neck Wood: 4 pcs. Wenge Wood with Bubinga Stripes Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut I Brass Version (originally) Neck construction: NeckThrough Construction Body: 2 pcs. Bubinga solid wood/ Surface: Oil Finish Pickups: JJ MEC Pickups Active Electronic: MEC 2-Band electronics Hardware: Warwick Black Hardware The bass it's been thoroughly set-up, new strings etc and lovingly waxed (the bass guys, the bass...). The main pic is by the original store owner and the second body pic is the bass now after a few loving touches ;o) These basses cost £2500 new, but this beauty is from the period when Warwick used slightly lighter woods (and better quality too). It's all original, sounds fantastic but you knew that already ;o) A very reluctant sale but needs must (no, I haven't got GAS, just bills to pay (( [attachment=69334:WarwickThumb.gif] Price-wise I'm looking for [b]£1095[/b]
  17. A pleasure to do business with. Looks like a promising New Year ahead on the upright low notes ;o)) Regards Pete
  18. Great combo and a great guy to deal with. Thanks, Dan.
  19. [quote name='J.R.Bass' post='1069826' date='Dec 26 2010, 09:50 PM']Interested in buying this, any actual pics of the bass?? [/quote] The pic above is the actual pic of the bass as used by the shop I bought the NS WAV from.
