wallybass Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Hi. I am a drummer who has just acquired some quality basses, sadly due to a bereavement. They are 1)Wal Custom frettless Mk11 £1800 (sold) 2)Two Jaydee GA24 series £1250 each 3)Musicman Stingray 5 fretless £950 4)Hohner "The Jack". £offers 5)Jimmy Egypt fretless £offers I think there is also an Ibanez fretless and a Tokai Jazz (1980's). Sorry, i put up the Wal fretted by mistake. This was sold on ebay 2 weeks ago. Thanks. I will post some pictures once some interest has been generated. Also, i forgot to mention that the basses are all in pristine condition. If you wish, you can call me on 01334 473985 Edited October 1, 2010 by wallybass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largo Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi Dave, it's Stephen Robertson. I stay down in Lundin Links. We played together many, many years ago down at Steppenwolf, Hunting Lodge and the likes in Leven. We had Edith Bowman as our singer (yep, her from Radio 1). I still remember you rattling through Space Truckin' by Deep Purple. Good to know your still tub thumping ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largo Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi Dave, yep still playing although it's Weddings & Functions these days. Musical prostitute essentially, see www.bignightoutband.co.uk I'll definitely check out the kids' websites. Amazing how life comes full circle! On the other front, to all fellow BC'ers I know wallybass from many years ago and he's an all round good guy and would happily recommend him as a genuine seller. I got the impression there were one or two people on here suspecting that these basses weren't genuine sale items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Egypt's anyone's guess - might be worth getting in contact with Jimmy (who works out of CC Music in Glasgow these days) and seeing what value he'd place on it: [email protected] Absolutely amazing looking bass - if Jimmy says £50, I'll have it.

Musky Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sorry to read about your loss Dave. Don't get too worried about the posts offering £50 - it's something of a standing joke around here and not intended seriously. Hence the smilies. Best of luck with your sale.
