D'Oh!! Thanks Dood. looks like missed it. Never mind. I'd prefer a trade or something anyway

TRADE PENDING

Due to a change in my bass collection recently, Im now looking for an amp with 2 channels so I can set up a Passive and Active bass. I'm looking to trade my GB Shuttle 6.0 with rack mounting kit (9 months old with a few paint chips when it was used before it was rackmounted- nothing visible from the front and only cosmetic), my Korg DTR 2000 tuner (excellent condition), all mounted in a 4u Rack bag. THis is the best amp I've ever owned by far but I'm really looking for 2 channels. The sort of kit I'm looking for is an Epifani UL502, Littlemark or something similar. I can take photos if necessary, but it is exactly as described! I'm not going to split any of this as I'm really not looking for a sale (unless a UL502 comes up for sale!) Thanks for looking.

[quote name='molan' post='530010' date='Jul 1 2009, 09:57 PM']Someone really needs to buy this & relieve Nick the temptation of giving it another go at his next gig, lol. Knowing Nick, as I do, I can definitely say that if he says it's a 'good 'un' then it most certainly will be [/quote] Thanks Barrie. A friend of mine has lent me a 75 Reissue Jazz bass to use tomorrow- can't wait There doesn't seem to be much P Bass love on here at the moment. It's a real shame because this really is one of the best examples I've come across. THe new model Fenders really seem to be the best basses they've made in many years.

[quote name='binkybongo' post='529546' date='Jul 1 2009, 01:22 PM']Doh! Take care mate[/quote] Good luck with the Cab hunt too. With a bass this gorgeous I reckon the world's your Oyster

[quote name='binkybongo' post='529455' date='Jul 1 2009, 11:50 AM']Hi Nick - wonder if you might have a light weight cab for trade plus cash to me for my very cool 2006 SR5 for which I have white and tort pick guards.(ex Mr Crow) It's mint which I'm putting up for sale at £795. Please let me know if you are interested. I have more pictures if you would like to see any. Siempre con fusion! Bill[/quote] Hi Bill- I wish I did! Wow!Unfortunately I've just sold an Epifnai UL310

BUMP with a few more photos added. Hopefully they show what a beautiful colour this bass is. The swirl on the body is just a finger mark picked up by the flash

[quote name='Hamster' post='526959' date='Jun 28 2009, 07:32 PM']I have a Stingray that I'm not using at the moment, you're welcome to borrow it until you get sorted [/quote] Thank you Colin I'm overwhelmed by the offer of basses etc to borrow until I get it sorted. I may well take you up on your offer to really spend some time in live situations trying what works. Molam (Barrie) has kindly lent me his 75 US Reissue Jazz to try too, so it looks like I'll have a fair selection to a/b

[quote name='molan' post='526073' date='Jun 27 2009, 04:55 PM']Nick - if you need a bass for Thursday then you're more than welcome to borrow anything of mine? Well, maybe not the redwood NS5XL as a) it weighs a ton & it's worth a small fortune, lol. If you want a 4 I've got the Fender J '75RI or for 5's there's either the white Overwater J or the other Spector NS5XL Both of these have 35" scale so maybe not your cup of tea (although the Overwater doesn't feel that much like a 35"). If you can get over to me some time you could have whatever for the week to get used to it too Anyway, just a thought,[/quote] I think you've got to be one of the nicest guys in the world Barrie. Thank you- I may well take you up on that offer. The reissue Jazz sounds lovely Nick

SOLD!!

NOW SOLD

[quote name='Gareth Hughes' post='525343' date='Jun 26 2009, 09:17 PM']Hi Nick - Might sound silly to say but try roundwounds on it. As much as I loved my 2008 P with D'Addario Flats on it -sounded amazing at home or in the studio - I could never get any definition from it live. Switched back to roundwounds and I'm a happy man again.[/quote] Hi Gareth- I've tried Roundwounds on it and you're right, it definitely makes a differnece. Unfortunately not enough though for me. Cheers Nick

Hello all- it's been a while but I'm back Anway, I've been gigging regularly and more and more over the last weeks I've noticed my old hearing problems returning and have really struggled to hear my P Bass. It got so bad last night that I played the first set blind (deaf?). Fortunately, after the first set I ended up using a Stingray that I borrowed of a mate of mine and Wow; epiphany moment!! Anyway, I've decided that it's time to possibly go down that route on a permanent. As a result, I'm looking for a trade with my 2008 US P Bass for a Stingray 5 with a bit of money thrown in from me. This P is the best, most comfortable bass I've ever owned and I'm gutted to let it go. It's sunburst/rosewood and is in near-excellent condition (apart from some marks across the top edge due to cuff buttons- not through the paint though). Apart from that, there's a small chip on the pickguard where the truss rod access hole is. It comes with the new style case, all the candy and is strung with La Bella Deep Talkin Flatwounds. It comes with the original new style case, all the candy and tags too. This is my only road-worthy bass at the moment (my Shuker is going through a bit of a mod) and I have a gig next Thursday, so if anyone is interested, a meet would be ideal for me so I'm not without a bass. I live in Surrey but am willing to meet somewhere if needs be. Thanks for reading. I figured it was only a matter of time before my hearing went again. Ah well, it could be a lot worse Pictures are courtesy of Clarky. I traded it with him for a Rickenbacker a while back but missed it so much, I bought it again! EDIT: Due to the number of PM's asking for a sale price, I'd let this go for £560 inc postage or £545 if picked up/meet arranged. These sell for well over £830 new and I'll throw in a brand new set of La Bella Deep Talkin strings and a genuine unused white Fender pickguard. Further pics have been psoted further down this topic.

It's an amazing Bass Barrie and if I could afford it, it wouldn't be leaving my house any time soon! The sound this thing produces is amazing; very deep and dark but no loss of definition. The B String is tight and sounds very clear. It's also spotless and as new. The finish is even better in the flesh than in Barrie's pics. Thanks again for the loan Barrie. Looking forward to meeting up again soon
