[quote name='stoatsbrother' post='985861' date='Oct 12 2010, 04:10 PM']Why is it all the interesting s/h basses are in Scotland? [/quote] I thought they were usually in Bristol!

Update: The bass is provisionally sold to Beneath it All as of saturday when he attends to collect my Trace Elliot head. However, I've spoken with Steff and I'm attempting to honour my intial agreement with him about the sale of the bass. If Steff can attend mine on thursday and buy the bass, it'll be gone. If not, it will go to Beneath It All. If both of these deals disintegrate, I'll let the forum know and I'll look back through my list of PM's and see who is next in line.

Steff, I'll get back to you when I get home.

It looks as though this bass is provisionally sold to Beneath It All. Mike was already coming to mine on saturday to buy my Trace Elliot head so it makes it a convienient transaction for me in that he'll buy the Alembic too. So consider this thread ON HOLD pending sale. I appreciate all the PM's I've had, if there is any further notification neccessary (Eg Mike Can't make it and the bass doesn't sell on saturday) I'll be straight back to the thread to update the other members with their fingers on the button!

[quote name='Clarky' post='984885' date='Oct 11 2010, 08:43 PM']If you are a fretless player (I am rubbsih) this has to be the bargain of basschat. Must be best part of 1500 quid cheaper than new and less than a Mexican (RW) Fender.[/quote] A new 4 string Epic will cost about £3000 or thereabouts through an Alembic dealer. Used 4 strings have sold in the past couple of years for over £1000 at the Gallery! So yeah, I'm putting out a bargain here, in the mind that if we all share our good deals on basses we'll be a community where trade is good! I'm in two minds about keeping it but I had to convince my lass about a new bass and selling this was the answer!

This bass is now [b]for sale[/b] for £600 with it's hardcase collected from Newcastle Upon Tyne. I was planning on trading it but I've went and bought a new bass so I'll need to replace some of those funds! I've decided to return the good fortune I got on these boards and sell it for the price that I paid for it, in keeping with passing a good deal on, hoping more will come my way in future! I'll be taking some better pictures of it this week if I can get a digital camera. One must really take a step back in these circumstances and consider that £600 here is getting you a bass that was handmade to the highest quality by the world's best luthiers in California. It is a sensational bass with a sensational price. At that price, you could buy it to dabble in fretless and get what is quite conceiveably the best fretless bass you'll ever play! First refusal is with Steff but if anyone else is interested please let me know and I'll get back to you once I've heard from Steff.

Still looking pretty there! I'd have thought this would have flew out the door given the resurgence of interest Level 42/Mark King but it just goes to show how slow the market is at the moment Gary!

Buying a Warwick at the minute (at least a 4 string one) seems to be a good way to get huge bang for buck! Streamers from £575, Thumbs from around £600 (mine was £590 in mint condition with a wenge neck) and a Buzzard for £700! Crazy!

Couple of weeks time, as it happens! This one would sit quite well in my collection!

This looks absolutely unbelieveable! I didn't know ACG made such nice basses!

Currently on hold pending sale for Beneath It All.

Whatever happened to the fretless Thumb 6'er you had for sale here?

Can't wait to see pics of this!

I remember trying one of these in Guitar Guitar for £600 a few years ago. One of the best Warwicks I've played!
