Patrick Eggle Milan V *On hold* £450 Cardiff

[chaypup]

Really nice Patrick Eggle Milan V in a unique colour with upgraded pre amp. 

 

Only getting rid as I'm thinning the herd and my Maruszczyk gets all the attention now.

 

Good condition with just one dink on the top of the body and a smaller dent on the lower horn. Great hardware on this, is a lovely player and has been a useful back up bass for a while. 

 

Welcome to come try out in Cardiff.

Thats my old bass (The Bass Gallery sold it for me) which I had professionally sprayed with Vauxhall metallic lime green. If I hadn't just bought a new bass I'd have had it back

Out of interest; what was the original finish, and is it a full neck thru?  (the couple of these I’ve seen before I think were natural finish ash body / maple top).

and is it a full neck thru? The five retaining Bolts/screws are the clue.

It was a very boring natural finish, just ash I think. No maple top. 
It’s a bolt on neck

A local guitar shop/pa rental company had, back in the day, PRS and Mesa Boogie along with more affordable gear and then they got Eggle guitars in which they described and the UK’s PRS. 

Always been a fan and this is a delight. The colour would fit perfectly in my ‘Irish bar covers band’ even if it has two too many switches and control knobs for my usual plodding style.

I’ve used a Patrick Eggle Berlin guitar for years, which is excellent. This is a heck of a lot of bass for the money. Very tempted myself to get the pair. Bargain!

[Owen]

That green is all sorts of wrong. But, yet, all sorts of right!

[krispn]

It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles home jersey which I believe is known as ‘Kelly’ green!

oooh i went to Uni in Coventry in the early 90's and folk spoke in hushed tones about this fella making guitars in the Stoke area of the city that rivalled PRS, His name was Patrick Eggle. I now live in Barry (what's occurring) and work in Cardiff. I must find a way to justify this.....

 

Maybe try some excuses on her indoors out here:

 

1) Oops darling the postman seems top have delivered a new bass instead of that sofa we were expecting,they obviously can't find the correct address.

2) No this isn't a new bass.  I'm just getting it back from the Luthier after a set up do you like the new but very inexpensive green finish i had done ? 

3) It might look like a bass but in reality its a new hoover.

4) Yes this is how a Netflix subscription looks on the bank account they said it might appear as a guitar deduction on the statement, but not to worry.

5) My brother sent it it as a late Xmas present.

6) (the least likely to work)  Oh yeah your mother recommended i get it instead of the cruise we promised her, she said its no bother.....
