TRADES?

Sold my Enfield Lionheart Standard 5 to Mike today top fella and when I dropped it off he and his lovely Wife cooked me a full English! Splendid.Deals should always taste this good.....

Update: weight is a frankly astonishing 4.1 ish KG and nut width is 51 mm

Sorry for the delay in Replying. 

Yes it is different to the 500 and 900 Pumas with their Class D power output stages.

This review bears this out  :  https://www.talkbass.com/threads/tecamp-1x12-combo-amplifier-puma-350.598082/

The abscence of  a manual or any kind of sales bumpf makes this harder to verify without pulling it apart and viewing the output stages.

Hope this helps.

 Up for Sale  is this wonderful uk made   instrument.   In my current collection I can see it not getting played as much as a great instrument such as this deserves.

Im looking to retrieve what it owes me financially, which I feel is a very fair price.

The Bass has just had a new set of 45-130 Elixirs added  (at £50) as  this is my usual string choice. Suffice to say you’ll be fine for tone for a long time with those....

I’ll paraphrase from the gentleman I bought it from as he did a wonderful summing up of the instrument :

..........................................................................................

Enfield Lionheart Standard 5 (2015 Model) 

Fantastic 5 string bass with a huge variety of tones available, thanks to the powerful Sims Super Quad pickups......have owned this bass from new (Brought directly from Sims Custom Shop) and it has served me very well over that time as a full time working instrument. Thanks to the pickups I have only ever needed to take one bass to a gig and it has had me covered for everything from Prog Rock to Jazz. Also with the pickup blend I have achieved many of the signature bass sounds I needed (P Bass, Music man, etc..)

It is a really light weight instrument thanks to its cleverly hollowed out construction but still retains a thick full sound. The neck is a vintage slim B profile with a nice low action and has an even balanced volume across all strings.  

The Bass does show signs of wear and discoloration due to its matte finish but does not affect the tone or playability in any way. Pics show any damage to the finish including a crack by the neck joint which I have had checked and it is definitely the finish on the bass and not the wood so nothing to worry about. Any marks are on the back / sides of the instrument so not noticeable from the front.

SOLD!

Thanks everyone....

Are you looking for any trades? 

Well cash is king but never say never...pm me with your thoughts.😌

Hi!

I'll have that - cheers!

(Are they replacement knobs?)

Yeah I think so...they used to have big brass ones (?)  but these were on there when I bought it a couple of years ago.... pm’d you btw.

Passive and lovely. This is a great example of an early Westone Thunder 1. For a 38 year old bass this is virtually unmarked ding-wise. Nails the PBass tone with Thor’s  hammer. Weighs approx 4.9 kg.- ish ( bathroom scales method ). There’s no case or anything. 

Any Questions fire away. Can be collected from Norfolk or London ( I spend half my week in either place). Postage can be done ( I’ll take the neck off if necessary) but that’s not included in the price.

Thanks for looking.

SOLD

Just bought an ENFIELD Lionheart from Charlie (https://www.basschat.co.uk/profile/34820-charlie-bassman/) today .

Deal couldn't have gone smoother he even delivered to my district all the way from Cannock. Lovely job. 

Deal with confidence! 

Ahhhhh. The “She Sells Sanctuary” bass. Well that’s what Jamie Stewart from The Cult (name drop) told me many moons ago. Reason enough to buy one of these. Go listen again to the track and tell me I’m not wrong! Ignore the Musicman in the video nonsense ( mutters to himself I don’t need a Precision etcetc) 😀GLWTS

Deal with Spyder with confidence...top guy!

I must add that in regard to part ex etc I’m not looking for Bass Combo’s. Thank you !! 

Met Mike yesterday to conclude a lovely simple super easy transaction. Knowledgable and really pleasant. Shame we couldn’t chat longer .Lovely instrument exactly as advertised. Thanks Mike,  Thoroughly recommended.

This takes me back....Pete Tullett  used to sit in with my step father's Jazz outfit (Dave Bakers Jazz Cats) many years ago he was a local man from Downham Market here in Norfolk. I always wanted one of his amps... Lovely item. I wish i wasnt in the realm of selling rather than buying. other wise this would be mine.

My old one i think.? . Sold to Marcus at bass direct. Lovely... only got rid cos i have a headed Status Empathy 5. Thats what you have to go to to upgrade from this lovely instrument. In an ideal world this still wouldve been sitting with me.

Did they honestly write his name on the truss rod cover in Comic Sans!? What the hell where they thinking? 

Lovely looking bass though! 

The same font KIds selling Lemonade at a village fete use! Amazing bass though....

Got mine earlier this year.. Love it to bits. Records amazingly well and everyone who picks it up thinks about selling their American instruments and buying one. Can't think of a better accolade... Those Villex PUPS though... lovely tone.

These are great for all sorts of things. In fact in my home studio everything goes through this first to see if it CAN’T sound better through it. ( not much doesn’t benefit except phantom powered mics they need the 48v juice) 

Get one they sound fab!
