kodiakblair Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Keep forgetting to put this up. Guy in Washington, Tyne and Wear has these on Gumtree. Yamaha BB1100, T 40 and a Wilkes fretless with the Percussion plates. http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/three-pro-quality-basses-yamaha-bb1100s-peavey-t40-t-40-and-wilkes-percussive-fretless/1091653700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Boy, those take me back! If I had a spare grand I'd have all 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The Wilkes is pretty rare IIUC. Do we know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacey Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1417996179' post='2625923'] The Wilkes is pretty rare IIUC. Do we know why? [/quote] Had a fretted one, briefly in the 80's, you let go and it nutted the deck. This might explain why they never took off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The Wilkes would be very heavy - never played a light one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The body on the Wilkes is enormous too, IIRC mine wouldn't fit in a normal case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
