It may get ordered, it may not, it may come, it will be the best thing since sliced bread, and will be sold in a few days to pay for something like a car! Real life always gets in the way.

risingson Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Keep your new Stingray, it looks - and indeed is from a style perspective - exactly 1,000,000 times cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Have you played one for any length of Time Marcus? Only suits the chosen few ;0) I've owned Three now and won't use anything else.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkypenguin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 you might be better served picking a bass, sticking with it and practising a little more as opposed to spending your time chopping and changing your gear....what will a kingbass enable you to achieve that your current basses wont?

marcus bell Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 i loved my kingbass a lot when i had it, and unfortunately it had to go to purchase a car im actually really really rubbish at saving money, so i try to buy and sell gear until i reach what i want again The Kingbass... this is quite cool as it allows me to experience playing a lot of different basses as well as not losing any value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ferrari is an Italian purebred classic. The Subaru (thinking of the Impreza rally models rather than the agricultural vehicles) is a classic 90's rally rep of a car that was at the top of it's game and won the WRC. Both very different, and once again, proof that car to bass analogies are usually flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have to agree with this - unfortunately I wasn't chosen. I had a Kingbass for about 5 minutes and really couldn't get on with it. It was the fastest sale of an instrument I've ever I've ever made I do know people that love these though - a real marmite bass if ever there was one.

marcus bell Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Well the price is up for negotiation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 My concern is slightly more personal. We've seen you lust after various basses, with quite some vigour - and then we see them moved on. I wouldn't want to see you disappointed, again, or out of pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus bell Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Kingbass artist mk1 is perfect for me alongside my old jaydee, and when a bass fits I wouldn't sell, I'm just using the others as a means of saving as I've mentioned before Simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ok chief. Just upholding my duty of care. There's an awful lot of money floating around in a short space of time. I mean, did you just pay £1050 for the SR4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
