  1. Bought Gareths Violin for my Daughter. He posted it out on promise of payment....It's testament to the memebers of BC that that level of trust exists. A fantastic transaction - Thanks Gareth. Matt
  2. Why on earth has no one snapped this up????? I've done exactly the same to mine, putting the black sp on...it looks as awesome as it plays!...I would never sell it but this is one hell of a deal.....If the wife wasn't so clued up i'd tell her mine had mysteriously duplicated itself overnight!!!!! hope you manage to get this sold. Matt
  3. Bought Steves Squire Precision Classic Vibe. Over the moon, bass is in great condition....great communications and super quick delivery as promised....And i even got a case!!!!!! Top bloke Steve, thank you very much....I am one happy camper!!!! Kindest Regards Matt
  4. [quote name='peety' post='945144' date='Sep 4 2010, 06:36 AM']sold thanks matt[/quote] Bass arrived this morning and even got a case with it! In stunning condition! - thrilled to bits!!!! - I will now be mostly posting in the feedback section!
  5. [quote name='basskit_case' post='946906' date='Sep 6 2010, 09:06 AM']It crossed my mind to reply to this at 1am and 4am when I was warming baby bottles and at 6am when I got up for work. At least I am now at work so I can have a sleep in the toilets most of the morning. The bass is CIJ and I bought it from TOM1946 back in March. I am know wavering and think that I may keep the bass, from what people have said it seems that it might be a worthwhile investment to keep it and get somebody suitable to fix the bodywork issues.[/quote] I am seriously amazed that this is still around. Stunning basses and a superb price. I would never sell mine, I love it to bits. Seriously if it doesn't sell at this price keep it. It would be a travesty to let it go any lower. Matt
  6. [quote name='peety' post='944246' date='Sep 3 2010, 09:25 AM']Only recieved this bass yesterday as i needed a back up for my Lakland BG for a run of gigs coming up, however i have now been offered a bass i have been after for some time so i need to turn this round quickly. It is a classic vibe P bass in sonic blue and is around 12 months old, i have posted a link to the original thread for until i get chance to put up some pics myself. Hope Liam doesn't mind me using the link to his thread as i haven't even had time to play this bass but i think everything is covered in that. As stated there are a couple of small dings to the bass which are highlighted in the original thread however other than that the abss is in excellent condition with a nice low action. Looking for £180 including postage for a quick sale. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73944&hl=bassix"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...4&hl=bassix[/url] cheers steve[/quote] Steve, You have a PM!
  7. Sold to Simon1964 - Top Guy. Many thanks. ps - Thanks to Malbass for the kind words! - much appreciated.
  8. Simon bought my 70s Jazz Re-Issue. Top guy and a real pleasure to do business with. Many thanks Simon. Matt
  9. B to U to M to the P Now on the 'Bay however will end early for BC folk!
  10. Hi There, Only has this a short while, traded with Malbass for my Precision, however and raft of unexpected bills means a thinning of the herd is required! So last in , first out. I've pasted the link below to Mals original post - Hope this is okay squire? - But basically a MIM 70s Jazz Re issue - mint condition, few scratches to pickguard but only visible in the right light! no fretwear. The stock pups were swapped out for a pair of Delano JMVC4FE/M2. Sounds very sweet and is a peach to play. I havent gigged it so it is still in as good as condition as it was when i got it. Will supply with the same soft Fender gig bag. I effectivley paid £450 for it as part ex. I would take £425 for it collected from me in Leicester. Am happy to courier but would need to advise cost of this. Any questions please send me a PM and I'll get back to you asap. Many thanks Matt [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=90453&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=90453&hl=[/url]
  11. [quote name='grahamd' post='922821' date='Aug 12 2010, 02:52 PM']check this guy in the vids page, very acrobatic and lacking some tone, but impressive, esp towards the end [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2010/08/09/evan-brewer-solo-slap-bass-demo/"]http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2010/08/09/ev...slap-bass-demo/[/url][/quote] Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans......thats good...damn good!....Think i'll just go and turn my basses into coffee tables :-(
  12. Hi, Could any of you lovely people let me know if you have one of these and how you rate it? I need something that doesn't suck all the tone out and that allows full control over the amount of overdrive, some of our stuff warrants full on dirge.....others just a background fuzz! Cheers Matt
  13. BUMP - Any interest folks? I've scheduled it to list on Evil Bay this sat at 6.00pm with a BIN of £265, more than happy for it to go on here for £250.00 - any courier fees on top though ;-) Cheers Matt
  14. Boys & Girls, After much deliberation I'm getting rid of my existing amp set up for something altogether smaller and more manageable. The cabs have all gone so this leaves the head A Trace Elliot GP12SMX 250w head ( pretty sure its 250 anyway!! ) in great condition, all slider caps present, all knobs and switches work correctly. I'm pretty sure you all know how good these are, the Valve blend lets you create a really warm fat sound.....superb bit of kit. However needs must. Its based in Leicester and ideally i'd like collection however I would post subject to agreement on cost and insurance. Price wise i'm looking at £250. If you believe I'm wildly out - I don't think I am - then please get in touch by PM. Thanks for looking - Any questions let me know. Matt THIS IS NOW SOLD.
  15. [quote name='danbowskill' post='917176' date='Aug 6 2010, 05:22 PM']so it has peavey wrote on it and is a tad heavey!!!..........these are WICKED cabs for rock n metal. bump for a steal price [/quote] Cheers Dan, Yeah - they are great for that , just doesn't suit my sound now though. Cheers for the Bump tho!
  16. Afternoon, Looking at selling this as upgrading my cab. Its a Peavey 4 x 10 300watt cab, loaded with BW speakers, 8 ohms.....ermm thats about it....bloody loud!, good condition, little scuffing to the metal corner protectors. I have 4 castors that I can stick on it should you want! Collection only really, from Leicester. Looking for £75....Right, just been offered the cab I realy want so need to get rid of this PDQ! £60 anyone? I will get better pics up asap, just grabbed this one on the way out of rehearsal last night! Cheers Matt
  17. Cheers Guys. Thanks to all the Pms too. Glad to see I'm not a million miles off. Now the hard part....To sell or not to sell !!!!
  18. Just to say that Mark is a top guy to deal with, I did a bass trade with him a while back all on the basis of trust ( sending his bass out on the promise I'd do the same ). All went smoother than a really smooth thing from the planet smooth :-) Deal with absolute confidence. Top bloke! Matt
  19. Alreet All? Got to say from the off that this is only a feeler at the moment. I'm thinking o selling my Trace Head. Its the GP12 SMX version, pre Gibson era., I think its 250W.?? Its got the carpety/felt type covering and is in excellent condition. All sliders, buttons and other controls work perfectly. Currently running it through a Peavey 4 x 10 BW cab and it sounds great. I have the opportunity to get a good deal on another amp, albeit a combo that would be a whole lot easier for me in terms of transport....Long Story but involves a recent diagnosis of Epilespy.....not so good :-( Anyway - I'm really not sure about this as I love the sound from the Amp. If I sell it I think I'd be looking around £300-275 mark.....would this generate any interest? If you think I'm way off the mark on price please send me a PM with your thoughts as all opinions welcomed. Many thanks one and all Matt Crappy Iphone pic attached!
  20. Cheers Guys, Righto - Graphite it is and off to Howard Smith in Leicester to get done.....unless anyone knows of any other luthiers in the vicinity? Thanks Matt
  21. Afternoon one and all! reet then, My Geddy Lee has developed a slight issue, inasmuch as I seem to have somehow chipped a teeny tiny piece off the nut to the left side of where the A string sits ( as your looking at the bass). Result is that the A string keeps popping out of the nut!...Time, therefore to replace it! I'd love some feedback as to what you would suggest? Do i stick with a simple plastic replacement or go down the Brass or Bone route? any advice greatly apprecaited. Secondly....and I think I already know the answer to this!....Is it a DIY job or should I just hand it over to a luthier to do? Again - any and all advice appreciated guys n gals! Thanks a lot Matt
  22. [quote name='malbass' post='886704' date='Jul 5 2010, 09:41 PM']Now traded for a Precision from the hand of john curlee. Many thanks Matt![/quote] Your very welcome sir! good to meet you and am really happy the trade was a success. regards Matt
