Bassassin Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 [quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1393583843' post='2382156'] What are you selling? [/quote] Not entirely sure yet, but off the top of my head: Cimar XR2065 P/J bass (needs rewiring & fret fettling) Ibanez 2366B Precision (pre '75) Unbranded 70s Bitsa Jazz Eros Mk II 1970-ish Jazz copy (dodgy neck) Ibanez RS924 Roadster (maybe) Kawai Sleekline J-type (maybe) Westbury Track 2 (maybe) Also: Squier 1985-ish E-serial Strat Hohner Revelation guitar Peavey T-40 Plus a bunch of old backline I'll never use again. That's for a start, there's probably a lot more I'll be parting with - A brief head count tells me I have roughly 40 basses & guitars plus various amps, cabs & pedals. In fairness I don't actually [i]want[/i] to sell very much of this stuff, but a house move within the next 6 months leaves me with no alternative. FAO mods - this isn't a "for sale" list, I have no prices for any of this and am not soliciting offers. In due course I'll put stuff up on BC in the appropriate fashion. J.

Paul S Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1393498258' post='2380960'] I think you are spot on, thanks Jon. Looks interesting. I wonder how heavy and how wide the necks on these fellas are? [/quote] I can answer these questions as I asked the seller - 3.9kg and 38mm nut, although the neck at the nut is a little wider at 41.5mm, he says.

wotsy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Morris Hurricane bass: Anyone know if these are any good? http://m.preloved.co.uk/m/showphotos/110170265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Never had my hands on a Morris Hurricane, but the factory, Moridaira, did make some good-quality instruments. 70s & early 80s Hohners were made by Moridaira, I have a Hohner-branded Washburn Wing copy guitar which is extremely well-made and quite lovely - or it was before I played it to death & stupidly modified it! Looks like a pretty bass, if it's a sensible price why not go & have a look, if the seller's local? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I arranged to go and look at it tonight but 10 mins after setting off they cancelled by text, I didn't notice the text until I was almost there as I was driving, so just done an hour-ish round trip for nothing, suppose these things happen but I'm a bit gutted and will probably wait for something else to come along now, oh well....

Annoying Twit Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) £225 seems reasonable for this through neck Aria Pro 2 SB600, though it's not the newest looking example I've seen.

Bassassin Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 That's a set-neck, isn't it? Anyway, does look like a bargain, if I wasn't being good & not cluttering myself with more basses I don't play, I'd be sorely tempted. J.

bartelby Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Went for a wander around town yesterday to see if there were any bargains in the charity shops. Spotted a nice looking Aria Pro II Cardinal series bass in Cash Generators: [url="http://www.cashgenerator.co.uk/bass/aria-pro-ii-bass-cm1133"]http://www.cashgenerator.co.uk/bass/aria-pro-ii-bass-cm1133[/url] No idea if it's overpriced, but it was in very good nick for it's age.

Bassassin Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Nice example but IMO a bit overpriced, £150-£175's probably fair enough for one o' them. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
