I bought this on eBay about seven or eight years ago with the intention of doing it up, but sadly I think it's time to concede I'm just never going get around to it! My understanding is that Cimar was a division of Ibanez during the 70s and 80s - as you can see in the photos, the bass is essentially an Ibanez Blazer with a different name on the headstock. The serial number dates the instrument to 1984, which is consistent with this catalogue: [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expansion.php?cat_id=82&now=1"]http://www.ibanez.co...cat_id=82&now=1[/url] The bass is in virtually the same condition as it was when I bought it, the only real difference being the addition of a set of Thomastik Infeld flatwounds (which may well be worth more than the instrument itself!) which have been mellowing for a good few years now. As I mentioned above, this was bought as a project which never get off the ground and as such there are one or two areas in need of attention. The main one is the nut, which has at some point been filed to accommodate much heavier strings and as a result the E and A strings are pretty much impossible to play open. Upon closer inspection it seems someone has attempted to rectify this at some point with Blu-Tack, presumably unsuccessfully... In addition the tuners could do with being replaced and the chrome on the control knobs is flaking badly. With a bit of TLC this could be a solid, reliable addition to anyone's collection. Aside from the issues mentioned above, and one or two knocks and cigarette burns, it's in good nick for a 30-year-old instrument. I'm not looking to post this so collection only from (or within a reasonable distance of) Crawley, West Sussex please. Any questions, requests for more photos, etc just give me a shout.

Recently bought a head from Dave and the whole process was as pain-free as it gets - he even delivered it straight to my door! A pleasure to deal with, cheers

Just bought a couple of cabs from Mike and couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction, a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Cheers!

It's been a while since I've played bass in a band and that doesn't look like changing any time soon, so in light of this (and the fact that cymbals are bloomin' expensive!) I'm reluctantly having to move on my bass rig. As with the Ashdown head I'm also selling I bought this on Basschat from Garbev three or four years ago and in that time I think I've only used it three or four times! Some very minor scuffs aside it's in great condition and sounds fantastic. Specs can be found here: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/gallien-krueger-neo-112/25103"]http://www.gak.co.uk...r-neo-112/25103[/url] I'd like to get £175 which I believe is roughly what I paid for it. Collection from Crawley is greatly preferred, although I would be willing to post if necessary (at the buyer's expense). And if anybody is interested in both the head and cab I'm sure we could work out some kind of deal! More average photos: [attachment=100515:DSCF2595.JPG][attachment=100516:DSCF2596.JPG][attachment=100517:DSCF2598.JPG] And the aforementioned head thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/168701-ashdown-abm-500-evo-ii-head/"]http://basschat.co.u...00-evo-ii-head/[/url] [b]This is now sold![/b]

It's been a while since I've played bass in a band and that doesn't look like changing any time soon, so in light of this (and the fact that cymbals are bloomin' expensive!) I'm reluctantly having to move on my bass rig. I bought this on these very forums from NoirBass (I think) in 2008 and it has served me well over the last few years. It has been gigged numerous times but never abused and is in great nick both inside and out. I'd guess these amps are fairly well known around these parts but for anyone who is unfamiliar the specs are available here: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-ABM-500-EVO-II~ID~3081.asp"]http://www.soundsliv...-II~ID~3081.asp[/url] Price-wise I would like to get £300 for it. Collection from Crawley is greatly preferred, although I would be willing to post if necessary (at the buyer's expense). I'm sure everyone knows what these look like but here are some average photos just in case: [attachment=100510:DSCF2599.JPG][attachment=100511:DSCF2606.JPG][attachment=100512:DSCF2604.JPG] I'm also selling a Gallien-Krueger Neo 112 cab, details here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/168706-gallien-krueger-neo-112-cab/"]http://basschat.co.u...er-neo-112-cab/[/url] Thanks!

[quote name='TRBboy' post='1310850' date='Jul 20 2011, 09:25 PM']Gorgeous! I would be very tempted if I lived closer, but it's a bit of a trek to try it out! It looks in good nick on the pics; is there any damage/wear to speak of?[/quote] There is some very light buckle rash on the back and a couple of minor dings here and there, but other than that it's in fantastic nick. [quote name='nicbutton' post='1311227' date='Jul 21 2011, 09:55 AM']I want.. alot Dont suppose you'd be interested in a rade and cash your way?[/quote] I would much prefer a straight sale, but that's not to say I couldn't be tempted by potential trade offers...

I'm reluctantly putting my Warwick Streamer LX 4 string up for sale. It's an absolute beauty - as I'm sure one or more of its previous owners here on Basschat would testify! - but unfortunately it barely gets played and I'm currently not in a position where I can justify keeping instruments just for the sake of it. It's a '99 model (I believe) with a lovely slim ovangkol neck. In addition to the usual Warwick features, the bass also includes: - Hipshot drop-D tuner fitted - Dunlop straplocks fitted (originals included) - Ritter gigbag (extremely robust and with more handy zips and pockets than I can count) I bought this from Merello here last October for £550 delivered, and I'd like to get that back if possible. I'd prefer collection in person (also willing to deliver/meet up within a reasonable distance of Crawley) although I would be willing to post if necessary. Anyway, enough chat, here are some photos (I apologise for my lacklustre photography skills, these shots are as close as I can get to doing the finish justice): [attachment=85174:DSCF2184.JPG][attachment=85175:DSCF2185.JPG][attachment=85176:DSCF2186.JPG] [attachment=85177:DSCF2187.JPG][attachment=85178:DSCF2188.JPG] Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking! EDIT: This is now sold.
