Happy Jack Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I picked this up in a trade earlier this year, and a very nice bass it is too, but it simply isn't doing it for me. My existing stable of basses is strong enough that something needs to be [i][b]really [/b][/i]special to break in. More piccies at [url="http://tinypic.com/m/equq2w/3"]http://tinypic.com/m/equq2w/3[/url] Rather better piccies at Stuart's original For Sale topic: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=137083&hl=shuker+horn"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=shuker+horn[/url] Bolt on neck. 34" scale 24 frets. maple/wenge laminated neck, madagascan rosewood f/board. carbon fibre reinforcement, two way truss rod. White ash body, green tint and black grain fill satin finish. Delano PCHE & SBC pickups, ABM bridge. Gotoh tuners, Black hardware. Seymour Duncan 3 band active circuit. String spacing at bridge is 20mm, at nut 10mm, and it weighs 4.2kg. It also very well balanced when worn. [size=4][b][s]£750 [/s]£700 ono[/b][/size] DESCRIPTIONS I don't do the whole describe-the-neck thing, and tell you what it feels like or how "fast" it is (does that help when you play a song by J.J. Cale?). I don't tell you how low my action is. I don't slap or tap, so there's no point asking me. All my basses are set up for reasonably robust finger-style playing. If you want to know the sort of music I choose to play, check out the Band link in my sig. If my description didn't mention a problem, then there isn't one (IMHO). All that said, obviously you should always try before you buy if at all possible. If you can't do that yourself, then I'm perfectly happy for you to ask a knowledgeable friend to come round and check a bass out on your behalf. OFFERS There's not a lot of cash out there and (given that I am not looking for trades at all) I am prepared to entertain offers ... in fact some offers can be quite entertaining. DELIVERY The bass will be supplied with a decent hard case, and it can be tested in and/or collected from London, either in Chiswick W4 or the West End WC1. I can post if I really have to, but I greatly prefer to do business face to face. If I'm posting, then I use my firm's courier - they are very reliable but they are NOT cheap. No, I will not queue up at the Post Office with a bass. No, I will not use DelBoy's ultra-cheap delivery service. No, I will not wait in at home all day in case your chosen courier decides to put in an appearance. Bin there, dun that.

Happy Jack Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) [size=3][b]HIGH-END BASS PRICE SLASHED BY BERSERK VENDOR IN UNPROVOKED ATTACK![/b][/size] "I blame the obese", claims carrot-wielding jazzer. "We blame jazz", claim obese couch potatoes. *************************** Full Story from our Special Correspondent *************************** Happy Jack has succumbed to GAS once more, and bought another bass while still trying to sell two others. OK, it's time to get serious. Currently listed at £700, if I were to successfully eBay this bass at (say) £650, then eBay/PayPal's 15% would leave me with just £575. Solution? This bass is available for the next week or so at [b][size=4]£575 [/size][/b](plus delivery - I hardly ever charge people for collecting things).
