  1. Bought my BF Compact. Paid quickly, communicated well and arranged his own courier. Good guy to deal with.
  2. Would actually consider trading this for an MM style (OLP maybe?) or a lightweight Ibanez.
  3. Sold pending payment. If anyone's keeping tabs, it went in 8 minutes. Snatched out my hand so fast I'm counting my fingers, just in case.
  4. For sale is my Barefaced Compact. As I understand it, one of the first to roll off the production line. I bought this new nearly 4 years ago and in that time, it's done over 400 gigs. It's been treated as nature (or rather, Alex) intended and had very little in the way of covering: just something very thin to stop the corner protectors catching on things. Has had plenty of chips, scrapes and bumps along the way and have been repaired as advised by it's creator: with a black marker pen. Can't really tell unless you're looking closely. If that kind of thing bothers you, I would advise waiting for a pristine one to come up (good luck getting there first) or just order a new one. Now for the sales pitch: it's minimalism and functionality at it's purest and best. At about 11kg, it's a very easy one hand carry and before I got my second 1x15, could carry all my gear into a venue in one trip. The rubber feet I fitted almost right away, as I quickly realized the need and installed some both on the bottom and side. Handle was replaced about a year ago and kindly supplied by Alex for nowt, the corner protectors are brand new and have just been fitted as a final 'tarting up'. If there are some patches that look a slightly different shade of black, it's probably fresh marker pen and will blend in after a little while. That's it really, not much else to say. I've simply moved on and fancy a more full-range sound. I've debated keeping it just in case but the Big Twin I've just taken delivery of left a big hole in my wallet. Now, I've weighed a few factors and come up with a figure of [b]£330[/b]. Not interested in trades, thanks. Would prefer not to courier it but I'm sure we can work something out if that's your only option. Can be collected from Enfield or Hertfordshire during the week or somewhere in Essex at the weekend. If it's not too far out of my way, no charge. If it is, then a little toward fuel would be kindly appreciated.

  5. Bump for a couple of new pics.
  6. Just a though.... Would be willing to trade + cash adjustment for lightweight tuners . 11/16" (traditional size) peg holes.
  7. First (and probably only) price drop. Not really in a hurry to sell this. Come and get a truly quality bass.
  8. I used one of these for years and it's a fantastic amp for bass. In addition to the filter that bassman7755 pointed out, the other great feature for bass is the mono bridging at the flick of a switch (dip switch that is). It will also operate bridged into a 4 Ohm load and not even break a sweat.
  9. Hi Liam85. Could you include a price please? It's not just a good idea, it's the rules
  10. [quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1361196713' post='1982541'] Is it really THAT pink? [/quote] No, it's actually a 'vintage' white. Point taken though....
  11. Up for sale is my lovely Jazz. A fine instrument, far beyond its 'budget' label, in terms of quality. It also has excellent wilkinson hardware as standard: the wilkinson jazz pickups are just amazing. The neck width is also a little wider than a regular jazz, almost precision. I really like that and it's more comfortable to play than you might think. Bought a couple of months ago off eBay out of curiosity. Haven't had a jazz for a while and wanted to have another go. Okay, I'm hooked again. Unfortunately, this beauty is too heavy for me to play for any length of time with my neck problems. I was hoping that the better balance afforded by the extended upper horn would not aggravate my neck pain but unfortunately, this is not so. By no means a heavy bass: about 4.4kg, just too heavy for me. I've since built a lightweight jazz, so this must now go. Want back what I paid for it, which was[b] [s]£120[/s][/b] [b]£110.[/b] Would prefer collection/meetup from Enfield, Herts or Essex but could courier for an extra £15. Managed to find the original eBay listing and pinch the photos, most of which are pretty good. It's in exactly the same condition. EDIT: Forgot to mention that there's a couple of small dings along the top edge. Nothing serious and hasn't chipped the finish. Not visible from the front.

  12. Bought a Hipshot HE6C from him. Good price for a practically new item and great comms and service. Perfect.
  13. If you decide to split it for parts, would be interested in the pups.
  14. I have one of these. What a fantastic bass, the pickups are really something special.
  15. Might also want to stick something in 'items wanted', also in the basschat marketplace. You never know....
  16. The paranoia was about being ignored, which is one of my bugbears, not about money. The lead time I was quoted (about 8 weeks) had long elapsed I simply wanted an update. I have it now. Actually didn't realize there was a contact number on the website, as it's been a few years since I looked at the 'contact us' page. I have had excellent customer service from Alex in the past and am a repeat customer because of it. Subject closed.
  17. Only ask because I ordered one about 14 weeks ago and still don't have it. Last I heard about a month a half ago were that they were 'now being built'. I've tried emailing Alex a couple of times for an updated ETA over that month and a half (hardly nagging) and once through a PM on here a few days ago but have heard nothing back. Starting to think I'm being ignored, which is not a nice feeling. Telling myself not to be paranoid but I guess I'm just seeking reassurance here.
  18. Bought my old hi-fi system. Came round when he said he would and with the agreed sum. A thoroughly pleasant chap.
  19. I know I'm pushing the boundaries of 'musically related' but I think it's still acceptable We have here some incredibly high-quality hi-fi equipment, that belies the 'budget' tag it was given. You only have to do a web search on these to see that they're highly regarded and still sought-after. The amp is (I think) sweedish designed and build in Taiwan or something like that. Rated at a modest 150, it's still powerful enough to fill a fairly big room with very high quality audio. The speakers are 2-way reflex loaded and also highly regarded. Together they produce a sound and volume that still surprises me. A bit of rust on the underside of the amp is the only issue but this cannot be seen when in use and does not affect the sound. Was in boxes in cupboards for about 10 years but recently got it out to use and they work as well as ever. Space is a bit of an issue at the moment and don't use it as much as I thought I would so seeing if anyone else can make better use. Am including high-quality speaker cables and "cambridge audio" double phono lead to connect it to something. All this for £60 or very near offer. Collection / meet up is preferred from Herfordshire, Enfield or Essex but will box them up if you want to arrange your own courier.

  20. Great. Look forward to hearing from you.
