  1. This is a superb bass, in new condition. I've played it, and was knocked out, a bloody bargain at this price.
  2. [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='221701' date='Jun 18 2008, 08:45 PM']Nice Russ, pity you're selling it but I know you've thought long and hard about it.[/quote] Cheers Al, yes, I'll have to change my user name if this one goes. Brand new set of unplayed EB Slinkys just fitted.
  3. Not sure about this, but I'll see if anyone is interested. Black Stingray, maple board, 2 EQ. Mint condition, a few light scratches, no buckle rash, does what is says on the tin really, the classic Stingray sound, no issues. £700 including the Musicman hard case. Edit.....now £650. I'll deliver within reason, as I'd rather not post, but will if I have to. Sorry, no trades, I need some cash.
  4. Great website mate, love the basses, and a Bacchus MM Jazz too? Never seen one of those before.
  5. This is me with my number one: It's a Highway One jazz, with Villex pickups fitted. It's a fantastic bass, admittedly it's upgraded, but it was great before. I get comments on how amazing this bass sounds everywhere I play it. I can't recommended the H1 Jazz highly enough, superb bass.
  6. I might well be interested myself, but I'd like some pics and details.
  7. Bloody hell, I had to look twice at the price myself, that's a £500 bass if ever I saw one.
  8. I sh*t you not, this bass is as good a precision as it gets, beautiful player, fantastic sound, and if I had the cash, it would now be mine without hesitation. [i]£325????[/i] Someone snap his hand off quick.
  9. Good man Al, very nice bass that.

  11. The for sale activity on here is so high, that people get carried away when they spot something they want, but can't afford. Trades are very common of course, and I've done a few myself on here with no problem at all, because most of us don't have spare cash, but we do have spare basses, and quite often, if there's a bass you don't use much, you fancy a change. However, to commit to buy, then pull out is bloody irritaing to say the least. I had a Gibson Les Paul for sale on BW (many of the old BW crowd will remember), a member (albeit a new member), commited to buy it. He couldn't pay me straight away, so I agreed to put it on hold until the end of the month when he was paid. Meanwhile, I bought my current Stingray from Nash with overdraught money, knowing I'd get the Les Paul cash within a handfull of days to pay the overdraught back. Needless to say, after I'd waited a month for the money, the buyer pulled out after changing his mind. I was rather upset. This used to be a very honourable place for trading, and in my opinion, was a friendlier place altogether a handful of years back, but I'm afraid if you're selling/trading stuff here now, with members you don't know, you have to be very careful, and business like. I feel sorry for Chris, because he's a good bloke, and the basses for sale are nice too, I just wish I could afford to buy one of them. Now.............what else have I got to trade?

    Your advert sucks . Have a bump. Top bloke, top bass.
  13. Try them all out mate, they're all different in many ways, and simillar in others. I have a Stingray, powerful and punchy, and my mate has a Sterling, a bit more mellow sounding, but with more tone options. Most versatile is the Bongo, but you have to live with its looks. Single pups for the classic tones, two pups for versatility, on any of the models. Try them all out before you go any further.
  14. Top band this, a great opportunity for a good drummer.
  15. [quote name='ped' post='188809' date='Apr 30 2008, 01:56 PM']As my music doesn't ever call for a certain bass sound (jazz, precision etc) then I can use 'my' sound and my favourite bass on everything, which I really like being able to do.[/quote] Yeah at the end of the day that's what I do to, even though I'm playing covers. I have "My" sound on the Villex loaded Jazz, and I [i]inflict[/i] that tone on most of the set, hence sticking with that one bass most of the time, with the Marcus Miller Jazz backing it up. I really could do without the other three altogether.
  16. [quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='188619' date='Apr 30 2008, 08:22 AM']Wow, that is one the ugliest basses i've ever seen. Whats it like to play?? Jake[/quote] Yeah that's not helpful in the for sale section at all, if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything. Good luck with the sale GP.
  17. I'm currently hooked on my 2 jazzes for live work, but the Stingray is always there in the wings too. The other two basses I have are 5ers, and get used at home but not live. I have to say, 5 basses for me is a bit OTT, I don't need them all, so........... Another vote for a Stingray/Jazz combination.
  18. Ged fitted me the same set into my jazz (not these [i]actual[/i] ones), and make no mistake, these are outstanding pickups, buy with confidence.
  19. I personally think that some of the gear around today is as freaky as it gets. Look at some of the custom makers like Ritter for instance, beautiful woods twisted into the most pig ugly looking monstosities I've ever seen. Admittedly some of these makers, Ritter included, make some fabulous looking stuff, but there's a lot of mad looking designs floating about on the current crop of builders that should never see the light of day. Give me an 80s pointy thing any day of the week.
  20. Yeah it was a good day, and fettled P #1 was a cracker. I must get down to another gig, especially the ZZ top outfit, I must see that.
  21. Are you still with Dr Blue? It'll look smart along side the guitarists blue Les Paul assuming he still has it.
  22. Good man Dave, as good a jazz as one is likely to find, wherever it's from. So how was it at the gig? Russ.
