Wow! Absolutely beautiful - for anybody not familiar, Alembic's superb Walnut is unbelievably beautifully figured and the company's finishing is the best I've ever seen. A quality instrument. I'd get a bit of Flitz on the brass though. You shouldn't need luck to pass this on

^ Thanks Kevin and mutual respect - Kevin looks after his gear the way I do!

[quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1332841515' post='1593712'] Er, what can I buy today...... [/quote] You know me too well...

Hahaha! Thanks all - a quick sale and a good laugh - I recognise the behaviour discussed above all too well! Owen - you have a PM. Cheers, Loz

I bought this around 4 months ago and have used it twice in my office (with headphones) - the unit is entirely as new and unblemished. It will be supplied with all original packing and the manual. I suspect that anybody with an interest will know exactly what the unit is and what it does - certainly among the best studio DI boxes with some gorgeous pre-sets (at least 4 of the 6 are wonderful for bass). Ultra high-end gear that will delivery fantastic results either in the studio or live. Reason for sale is simple lack of use - I'm involved in an office move and will have less space - and to be honest, I really don't need pro studio gear in my office. The cheapest that I can see these is around £439 on DV247 - most places are charging £460-480. I'd say £290 is probably reasonable (cash on collection in central Manchester). I can ship to the UK or Europe no problem - probably around £10-15 for the UK. I don't have images at present, however, I'll try to get some up soon - this one is the silver version - there's an image here from the Thomann site (mine looks like this - entirely brand new): [u][color=#810081][url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/avalon_u5_mono_dipreamp.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...no_dipreamp.htm[/url][/color][/u] Any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Absolute bargain (I really have to resist buying more of Scooby's basses!)

I had an MG with the Chestnut top and the figuring is superb - this looks every bit as nice as mine - only sold coz the board was WAY too wide for me. Gorgeous basses - you won't need luck to shift this

[quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1332163135' post='1584048'] Now you just stop that Lawrence, you know I fly home via Vienna. I have flagged this........magnificent equipment and yes a bargain as well.... [/quote] Haha! Hi Brian - stock-up whilst en-route! Bump for a great piece of gear at a great price

Not tried one of these but AER quality and tone is outrageously good - if this is anything like the tone of a Bass One, it's a bargain

Recent, expensive folly has taught me that anything other than short-scale is useless for me. If this were not the case, I'd grab this bass immediately - I really can't believe it's still here. One of Fender's finest.

Fantastic little rig! Well worth the 300 (ono)!

'Used to be mine - absolutely fantastic neck, super-slim and beautifully figured. I think Pierre's right, I'm pretty sure I sold via the Gallery

SOLD - that was quick - gone in around two hours. Thanks for the PMs and the interest (I hope that I've responded to everyone) I've had this for just two weeks, and I think it's around 6 weeks old in total. It's remarkable - a stunning hand-built exact replica of a '60P from BC's Wes Steed. Slab Brazillian rosewood board, Lollar vintage P pickup, nitro finish, light relic, flame maple neck, pickguardian celluloid guard - just phenomenal in every detail. Enough hyperbole. I should have know better - I can't resist a gorgeous bass and I'm easily seduced. I only really play medium and short-scale basses because of a wrist rotation issue. Why on earth I thought I could play this is a mystery. I bought the bass from Kevin Lindsay (the original purchaser) for £900 - which was an absolute bargain! - and it will come with the covers and a very nice, robust ABS case that were supplied from new. I'm selling at £875 just to get the bass out of my office and thus stop the daily reminders of my own stupidity. If there's one good thing to come from all this, trying to play it has made my short-scales feel like toys. Collection in central Manchester is much preferred. I can ship at cost within the UK (but it will take a day or two to arrange). I may even be able to deliver to London Euston (maybe next Monday or Tuesday, 5th or 6th March) with a contribution to train fare (though travel is by no means assured I'm afraid - a lot is work-contingent).
