  1. It is indeed. Theres always the postage option of course
  2. NOW SOLD This is a cracking little P bass alternative, plays great with the standard Yamaha quality you'd expect. As a bonus its incredibly lightweight, weighing in at 3.3kg. There are a few dents in the back none of which have cracked the paint, I've tried my best to capture them on a pic. I'm based near Axminster, happy to travel a bit to meet up, or can post this if required.
  3. There's been quite bit of talk on here and elsewhere about these fan fret 6 stringers (and 5 ers) so when I saw a few on Ebay being sold as seconds, I grabbed the opportunity to bag one and see if fan frets and six strings were for me. I've found out fairly quickly that I prefer normal frets and less than six strings lol so this is back up for sale. The bumph from the Ebay advert, which describes it perfectly well. (original advert here - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RedSub-Coliseum-Fanned-Fret-6-String-Bass-Purple-Burl-Burst-DAMAGED-RRP-349-99/274471793489?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) RedSub Coliseum Fanned Fret 6-String Bass, Purple Burl Burst-DAMAGED Retail Price £349.99 This item is being sold as B-Stock and comes with no warranty This item has sustianed damage to the headstock and side of the fretboard. There are two neck bolts that are not screwed in properly. Otherwise, this item is in working order. Accessories are not included with this item. Only items shown in the listing's pictures are included in the sale excluding stands. Please note all advertised B Stock on eBay is not available for collection from the Gear4music showroom and will be dispatched by courier The following is the original, new product description FOR REFERENCE ONLY The new product information may include accessories or software that are not included in the eBay sale. Love the experience Remember the first time you fell in love with performing? Get ready to experience that all over again. The multiscale fretboard houses fanned frets that introduce a whole new playing experience. It's all in the build. The angle of the frets has been carefully constructed to give each of the six strings a longer scale. In turn, this gives your treble strings a brighter clarity and your low strings increased definition as well as a more comfortable and natural feel when playing. This comfort is further extended with the smooth, quick feel of the roasted maple fingerboard that has a satin finish. The roasted maple construction of the neck offers a lightweight feel as well as producing a brighter, louder and more percussive sound with a quicker attack, and longer decay. The durable heat and moisture resistant timber won't need adjusting each time you push it hard in a session. Feel the inspiration to tweak your sound into something great. Break the mould Parade your personality with an individual look. The Coliseum boasts a stunning purple burst finish that immediately catches your eye and draws you into this guitar's rare shape. With this unique style, go on stage with complete confidence. Together with a satin neck finish and black offset dot inlays, the black hardware creates a sleek and expensive look that you can be proud of. Add atmosphere to your look. The Luminlay side dots will glow to create an ambience that injects excitement into your crowd and lights your way to a perfect performance even on the most dimly lit stage. The recipe for a fat sound Cook up a massive sound. The Coliseum is designed with a graphite nut that is self-lubricating for less friction and a seven screw bolt-on neck for a great sustain. This bolt-on neck construction reinforces the quick attack and increased volume set by the roasted maple neck for that sound that not only you, but your crowd has also been craving. Serve this crowd a five-star setlist. This bass has a mouth-watering thick sound due to a combination of the USA basswood body, pickup blend and two passive humbucking pickups. The switchable 3-band active/passive preamp gives you the power to adjust your sound while performing without having to go over to your amp. You've hit that agressive sweet spot in your show where your fingers have taken over and are riffing from the Gods. Your battery runs out. You don't have to interupt your zone. You can simply push a button and it will still work perfectly fine in passive mode! It's time to approach your music with flair and personality.

  4. I've got one of these sixers, I bought it as an Ebay second a couple months ago just to see if I liked fan frets and six strings. It appears I'm not a fan of either, so will happily move it on here for £200 its original price plus postage. PM me if interested. ( and yes my BC sellers subscription is currently paid up ;))
  5. I wonder who bought the original one......
  6. One of my fave basses is a J&D jazz that i got off here, its bloody awesome and costs like £130 new
  7. I have to love cheap basses, no choice lol
  8. eeek please dont get me started on two stroke yams....... yeah deffo sellers remorse there
  9. Ive always fancied a Consat
  10. No one fancy this? Can be used as a straight amp too
  11. Looks like I'm the first, did a search but found nothing. So, Chris recently purchased a Yamaha bass off me, he was pleasant and straightforward all the way thru the transaction, ( unlike me, I was a grumpy sod) which was remarkably speedy too. Top stuff Chris, hope the bass is just what you wanted dave
  12. Ah, thank you. I was under the impression the first gen had metal knobs, this one has plastic ones
  13. Here we have a 1st generation Sire M7 4 string. Anyone who has played one of these will confirm that the pre-amps give a bewildering array of options, and this model is also equipped with series parallel switching for each pickup too. The bass itself has a really nice feel, good neck and nice action. Its currently wearing flats but will be back to rounds for the sale. The amble from Sire/Marcus Miller - And plenty more info if you like here - https://www.sire-revolution.com/product/sire-marcus-miller-m7/ Body Material : Alder/Ash with Solidtop Hard Maple Wood Body Shape : New Modern Bass Body Color : Alder Body – BRB, TBLB | Ash Body – NT, TBKB Neck Material : Canadian Hard Maple(Scarf Joint) Neck Shape : C-Shape Scale : 34”-35“(For 5 string 35” for clear low B) Neck Joint : 4/5 Bolt Individual Dot (5 hole for 5 string) Fingerboard(Rolled Edges) : Ebony Fingerboard Radius : 12” Frets : Medium, 24 Frets String Nut : 4 String – Natural Bone 38mm width / 5 String – Natural Bone 45mm width Binding : None Inlay : White Pearl Dot Pickups : Marcus Pure-H Revolution Set Electronics : Marcus Miller Heritage-3 with Middle Frequency Control Knobs : Modern Black Plastic Bridge : Marcus Miller Heavy Mass Custom Tuning Gear : Sire Diecasting Gear Hardware Finish : Black The weight according to my bathroom scales is 3.8kg. Blemishes, ive done my best to photograph them. There is a couple of small dents near the battery box, another near the jack and one more on the bottom horn at the back. Nothing too glaring, and certainly not 'roadworn'. Id much rather this was collected from near Axminster, I do travel around a bit for my various works, and am willing to meet if someone wishes within reason.
  14. Boooo lost loves
  15. Hey Shep You still got that Rim Marseer?
  16. When i bought my portamento 4, I went to a guitar shop with a largish bass section, and they allowed me to try every fretless bass in the place, including some that had a 4 at the beginning of the price tag followed by three other digits before the decimal point. I ended up with the Ibanez. When it came to buying a 5 string fretless a few years later (that years set list demanded a five string), I did the same thing again, tried loads of others before eventually plumping for the Portamento again. I think they are hugely underrated, and Ibanez only made two mistakes with them. The first was not offering any different colour options, and the second was discontinuing them.
  17. Now that is really nice
  18. I ended up with another one instead, weird how things go sometimes
