neck dimensions: Width at nut 43mm Width XII fret 56mm Thickness I fret 21mm Thickness XII fret 23mm Will consider trades with a nice musicman/warwick/spector + cash OR a straight swap with a Status streamline / Marleaux / Modulus Quantum / Zon VB4 bass in good condition. There might be other similar basses that i haven't thought of yet, w.h.y.g.? *EDIT: already have an offer of 1150£ on a Belgian auction site so all new offers should exceed that offer ofcourse.

[quote name='Dropzone' post='1032806' date='Nov 22 2010, 05:14 PM']Stunning, I would be well interested if it was 5 strings!!!![/quote] If it was 5 strings i would probably keep it as the 5 stringers have a thicker neck-profile,unfortunately this being a 4 string the neck feels just a bit too thin for my taste... it could be that i'm that used to the big Musicman-neck's that this will take a lot more getting used to ,but at the moment my L-thumb placement just doesn't feel right...

Here you can find a short soundclip with photo-presentation of the bass on youtube: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MekS6O8lEzk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MekS6O8lEzk[/url]

Hello all, I just got this, but's the neck is just not right for me so i'm already putting this up for sale/trade again. putting up for sale/trade : My lovely Mayones Victorious 4 Custom. The bass is in a mint condition, no scratches, dings - no such things at all. It's hand made in Poland, left Mayones Custom Shop on 6th of February 2009. The warranty is still valid. The bass sounds GREAT, you can create many diverse tones, though I would say it sounds more like a modern and selective instrument, which is quite obvious when you take a bass' specification into consideration. The action is very low, bass is also well balanced, no neck diving of course. The bass comes with a hardcase, Hipshot Xtender, bill of sale, user's manual and hex keys. spec's: Body: Profiled Ash back & Wenge middle/Eye poplar top Neck: 9-ply / Maple-Mahogany Fingerboard: Ebony Scale: 870mm (34,25") Construction: Neck-thru-body Frets: 24 medium jumbo Ferd Wagner Markers: Bloody red LEDs + side dots Tuners: Schaller M4 Bridge: Mayones X2 two-piece brass bridge Pickups: 2x Bartolini Soapbar Electronics: active Aguilar OBP3 Controls: 1xVolume,1xBalance,1xMiddle,1xTreble/Bass Body and neck finish: Natural wood / Gloss finish Hardware colour: Black Nut: Ebony Jack: Switchcraft for the moment you can already find some picture's here, more pictures will folow later today. wanted price: 1599E / 1370£ => BC price: 1450E / 1230£ O.N.O. (The standard version of this bass goes for about 2500 Euro's and this one has the added led's, hipshot D-tuner, custom finish and so fort, so get yourself a deal! ) Shipment within EU = 45£ reason for selling: The neck is a bit too flat for my taste + i'm not a fan of NT's and would prefer a bolt-on or composite/graphite neck again. Trade in possible: looking for a modern sounding 4 or 5 string, active, bolt on or graphite/composite neck (f.e.: ZON VB4) prefferably in natural / black / grey/charcoal finish. I prefer a trade + cash my way, but might also consider a straight trade if the right bass comes along... greetz

I understand, it's a lovely bass indeed,good luck with the sale! (if it doesn't sell maybe you can find someone to trade his lakland for it, i think the flatter neck of a Lakland will suit you better) Regards,D.

Wow, selling already Iam? I remember you ordering this new last week! So what exactly does disturb you about the neck? too thick? too wide? to potential buyers: As a fellow countryman of Iam i can vouch for the bass being brand new as we talked about his new purchase the day he bought it,only a week ago today, if i still had the money i would be all over this but unfortunately (or on the other hand maybe not... ) i've just bought the Mayones victorious that was for sale here and now i don't have any cash left to spend... Here's a free bump for you bro!

[quote name='Oldman' post='1017211' date='Nov 9 2010, 10:38 AM']Back in the UK will look at the pre amp in the Spector. I am open to offers guys.....[/quote] Probably a TonePump i guess...? It could've been replaced (or custom ordered..?) with an EMG pre-amp though!

I contacted the Dutch seller as well, got the same BS story... i forwarded the mails to the marktplaats moderators. someone's coming over tomorrow to check out one of my basses, if he buys it i might contact you later tommorow with an offer, hope it works out! regards,D.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='1008056' date='Nov 1 2010, 02:22 AM']Black hardware on an LX is unusual. What year is it?[/quote] could be a euro rebop upgraded with active pu's...? these basses look almost identical.

pm'd btw,any idea what pre-amp they use in these spectors?

[quote name='Playground_Martyr' post='1000659' date='Oct 26 2010, 12:40 AM']Gutted about the DJ4! Well done mate, I'm so jealous. You've got yourself a nice one there. [/quote] Thanks mate, i'll keep you in mind if i ever decide to get rid of it,but it sure looks like a keeper tho...

[quote name='Sean' post='1000644' date='Oct 26 2010, 12:26 AM']Many thanks to the hordes of people who got in touch about this, I was overwhelmed with interest. I wasn't sure there was much interest in DJs any more but was proved wrong entirely The bass is now traded for the Red Sterling (wasn't he the guy behind The Twighlight Zone? ) of Bassdude BE.[/quote] That was "Rod Serling" actually (used to love that show... ) but you came close tho... [url="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Serling"]http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Serling[/url]

Traded! Now traded with Sean's lovely Lakland DJ4 with Chi-sonic pu's, can't wait to get it!

might this be of any intrest to you? found this ad on the warwick forum, the bass is located in the USA tho... [url="http://forum.warwick.de/24-basses/13018-sale-trade-dingwall-afterburner-ii-5-string-w-case.html"]http://forum.warwick.de/24-basses/13018-sa...ing-w-case.html[/url]

beautifull! any intrest in trades?

[quote name='mrGreg' post='997542' date='Oct 22 2010, 10:14 PM']One of the last bumps after I give it up :-([/quote] my trade offer with the new musicman still stands if you change your mind.

Uuughh... Pure gearporn!!!

aargh..i've had the chance to play one of these before and they are really amazing instruments...& that finish is just stunning! I would trade my brand new musicman for this in the blink of an eye, too bad you wont trade and/or post,or i would've pm'd you by now... Have a free bump for a beautifull bass

Had a few trade and cash offers , but nothing really convincing so far... It has to be good to make me part with this one since it's by far the best instrument i've ever had and i've had lots!

That's one beautifull instrument! and i have a brand new musicman for sale/trade as well... ,too bad i'm based in Belgium... bump for one of the best looking ibanez's i've seen so far!

Hi Ryan, do you have any soundclips of the stealth by any chance?... grtz, Don

Hi guys, Up for sale/trade is my 6 month old Musicman Sterling 4 string in a rare and beautifull transparent red finish with black scratchplate. Bought this bass new april 7th 2010 at Music is life in the U.K. The bass has never been gigged , has never even left my livingroom and is in mint condition. It comes with the original Musicman case, bill, warranty card and MM goodies. It plays/sounds like a dream, is set up pretty good and has that typical MM Stingray sound in a slightly lighter and smaller package, The body is a beautifull ash with a nice visible grain coming through the transparent finish (still looks a lot better in real life than in the picture's because its hard to catch something like that on photo,but i tried my best... ) The maple neck has a smooth matte finish that feels really nice & smooth and protects the wood against temperature/moisture issues + makes fast playing really easy. (the Sterling neck has more of a Jazz-like form and feel than the bulcky stingray necks) I love this bass and it has been my baby for the past 6months, but since i like the neck of my friends Modulus i'm thinking of getting a bass with graphite /carbon fibre neck like Zon / Modulus /Vigier and other basses alike...and therefore this beauty has to go to be able to get one of those. Since the bass is just 6 months old and is still in showroom condition i would like to get around 950£ or 1099 Euro for it (open to offers) or trade with a bass (Zon/modulus/Vigier or alike) with carbon fibre/graphite neck (trade with cash either way is possible regarding the value/state of the bass) or a trade with a cheap bass (4 string or a 5'er with narrow neck) + cash so i can save up to buy a graphite bass myself I'm based in Belgium, but shipping is no problem (around 40£ for shipping to the U.K) as i'm a real packaging expert (check my feedback) and i still have the original box to fit around the case. The bass will be bubble wrapped, put firmly in its original case and the again wrapped before putting it in the thick cardboard box that it came with on purchase. I added some picture's, if you want more detailed picture's or have any questions feel free to contact me anytime!
