Larmer Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Looks more like a S1, no? Nonetheless I think it's a bargain, this shouldn't be here for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absolutpepper Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 BUMP for a great bass that I sadly now can't afford and had to let go! Don't let this one pass you by folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I might be wrong but I think its an Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 It's definitely an Energy model. The Eclipse had the front pickup in the "hotspot" in the middle of the body, whereas the Energy had the pickup about an inch off the graphite neck join. Lovely looking bass as well! Can't see properly in the picture, but is it the standard 3-control eq? (The one with the mixed treble/bass combined into one eq boost control?) This will make a lovely bass for someone!

BigBeatNut Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='902519' date='Jul 22 2010, 11:14 PM']It's definitely an Energy model. The Eclipse had the front pickup in the "hotspot" in the middle of the body, whereas the Energy had the pickup about an inch off the graphite neck join.[/quote] Well, I couldn't tell you if it's an Eclipse or Energy but I definitely CAN tell you that the pickup placement on this is identical to my Eclipse 5 Ltd. The gap from end of neck to neck pickup is exactly the same as the gap between neck pickup and bridge pickup on both my bass and on this (so far as I can tell from the photograph) However, Eclipses were made with more than one pickup config. See [url="http://web.archive.org/web/20010218070234/http://www.status-graphite.com/oldsite/eclArt.htm"]HERE[/url] I could be wrong but I thought the distinction between an energy and eclipse was the arched top on the latter ?

silverfoxnik Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Friday morning BUMP! This bass is still available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Why is this still available, if it was a 4 string I would there for sure, bargain!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Someone buy this and put me out of my misery. I've just bought another bass. I knew something like this would come up as soon as I parted with my dosh. Damm. If I had the money I would have had it within a millisecond of it coming up.

dodgnofski Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) I sent Steve an email asking for his Paypal details, offering the asking price + postage as requested in an email I received from Steve, which also asked me to say if I didn't want it - as he would then 'move forward in order of enquiry'?? The next email I received from him said that someone had 'got in first'????? My offer is still open & I am ready to send him the asking price + postage - as I was six days ago! Sorry Nik, but given these facts - it is only natural that people will suspect a bit of gazumping had occured!

Beneath It All Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I agreed to pay the asking price; no more,no less.- I think that puts the gazumping claim where it belongs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four people who spoke to him before Friday yet your post made it sound like a done deal, which of course is going to piss people off if they'd contacted the seller before you.
