i used to own this bass, and after having a play on one, its a bit like a thunderbird when stood up!

just with lots more tone control and more unique look!

someone will be very happy with this!

Thanks Lloyd, thank Dave for me. :) If anyone does want the bass signed, I'll happily do that, it'll cost about an extra £40 in petrol to get it there and back (unless Dave is happy for the buyer to go get it signed, then they could cover the costs themselves).

Tom, I dunno if it's snobbery (probably is with some people) but Mavericks really aren't very well known basses, which is a shame because they're awesome. Guess they never will be well known now though since they're not around any more. Think back to when they were at their height, they were taking a lot of bands that had Ibanez (which IMO are always stunning instruments) and ESP endorsements etc.

Thanks for that Rob, the recording sounds good. :rolleyes: I've never played a TB, but I can imagine it's a similar feel.

[quote name='TomTom' post='896534' date='Jul 16 2010, 02:00 PM']I Think there is a good deal of snobbery - Ibanez and Esp barely ever get mentioned on here it seems, and i own one of each lol. Maybe im just too metal for my own good.[/quote]

I disagree about Ibanez, the GSR series especially get a lot of good press on here. When they come up the BTBs do too, though I know what you mean, most people just use Fenders and there's only the odd thread about other basses. I guess ESP are slightly more "specialised" (if you want to call it that). To be honest, I'm not a fan of ESPs anyway, the ones I've played (mainly guitars, admittedly) have never compared to Ibanezes in terms of build quality, I have seen one or two really nice ones though.

Thanks, Lloyd. :)

This didn't sell on eBay so it's still up for grabs. It's crazy that this hasn't sold, it's a seriously good bass for a very reasonable price.

I'm open to any offers on anything now, could really do with the cash but failing that, something that interests me or would sell easily if I wanted to shift it. Still would prefer a Jazz bass (seriously GASing for one), but I'll have a look at anything.

And you'll potentially get to meet Dave Pybus himself if you want it signed. :rolleyes:

Might be prepared to take slightly less for this this week only so I have cash for when the money comes in from my amp.

Still potentially looking for trades on this. WHY? Ideally a J/J config 5er. Will look at anything though, however unlikely.

Just a reminder, only 20 of these were ever made and they were around £600 new. Surely half the new price for such a rare bass is a bargain! Plus the opportunity to go meet Dave Pybus himself.

Just had a really good result on the sale of my guitard amp, so I'll be happy to let this go for less than the £300 I've asked for. It's up on ebay for £250 starting bid (as I linked above) but PM me any offers you have on this and worst I can do is say no. I'm happy to let it go for a good bit under asking price though for a quick sale. :)
