  1. Well i tried again on Interparcel and I now have similar prices as yours. Weird. Thank you anyway!
  2. Hey guys, I still don’t get how some of you managed to ship basses to Europe with a flight case for less than £100... I really need some help! Which courier did you guys use?! I’ve been trying some of the links on this thread and they all come with a +£150 quote!
  3. It sounds indeed very good. Here’s a pic of the actual pedal, it’s in perfect condition.
  4. Hi, I’m selling this bass distortion/overdrive/fuzz, handmade in Baltimore, USA, by Damnation Audio. This pedal is only available through Damnation Audio, which consists of only one passionate guy. You cannot find it through any dealers, it’s a proper « boutique » pedal! I ordered it direct from the online shop last year. Please note that it’s currently sold-out and Damnation Audio has stopped the production for now. It’s in perfect condition, never been gigged, used in rehearsals a few times. It’s an amazing distortion pedal that goes from mild overdrive to fuzz, to full-on distortion. It’s got raving reviews on Talkbass, which is what spiked my curiosity initially. Unfortunately, after extensive tests, it’s not exactly what I’m looking for... I’m putting it up for sale, so that I can go back to Darkglass. The pedal can be collected in Edinburgh, alternatively I can ship across the UK. Thanks! Note: the pedal doesn’t come with a power adapter and doesn’t accept batteries. Your usual Boss-style AC adapter will work fine. Also, the picture is a screenshot from Mr Excane’s review on YouTube (check it out for a good review of the pedal), but the pedal looks exactly like this (there are a few custom made versions available but mine is black). I can take a pic on request!
  5. Thank you. Needs to go though! New price: £1100.
  6. Around 4.2kgs. Not the lightest, neither the heaviest Music Man I’ve played.
  7. I guess we need some clarification around the best courier to use to ship a bass in a case from the UK to Europe. Which ones would accept the parcel and deliver it at a reasonable price with insurance?
  8. How do you guys manage to have quotes for like £40 to ship a bass from the UK to France? I tried a quote on the Interparcel website, I get a quote of like £160 ?!! What’s the best courier to ship from UK to France at a reasonable price? Thanks
  9. *New Price: £1049 + shipping* Hi, I'm selling my Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling, 4 string with a single humbucker. This is an American made bass, it's the not-so-common Sterling, not a model from Music Man's Asian made "Sterling by Music Man" series. If you're familiar with Music Man basses, you know exactly what this bass is about: punchy, growly, and super comfortable to play. The neck is similar to a Jazz Bass profile. As you can see on the pics, it's white, with a rosewood fretboard and a black pickguard, which I specifically requested when I ordered it. It's in amazing condition, no dings or dents, it's only been gigged once, been to a few rehearsals, and been well looked after. It comes with the original Music Man hard case and a fresh set of strings too. It's a great sounding bass, very easy to play. It was purchased brand new (made to order) in 2017. I'm looking to sell, NO TRADE. The bass can be picked up in Edinburgh, I can also consider shipping it within the UK. Feel free to drop me a message if you're interested. Thanks.
  10. Hi guys, I'm looking to sell my Fender American Standard Jazz Bass in Olympic White. It was purchased new in France (where I'm from) in February 2014 before I moved to Edinburgh a few months later. It's a great sounding and easy to play bass, and it's been my main player since 2014. As you can see from the pictures, there are a few cosmetic issues here and there, mainly on the back where there are some superficial scratches, as well as a ding on the side of the bass (don't even know how it happened!). Remember, this is a bass that has been played, in rehearsals, live and at home. Those are only cosmetic and don't affect the bass's playability, stability or sound. Please note the tortoise pickguard has been replaced by an official Fender black one, I do not have the original anymore. The original case is absent as well. American Standard basses have been discontinued, which is a shame as they are great quality instruments. This is your chance to grab one! I'm located in Edinburgh, Scotland, please get in touch if you're interested! I'm asking £600 o.n.o . Any questions, please ask! Thank you!
  11. Hello people ! I plan on getting a Warmoth bass built, with the help of my luthier. Here are the specs I settled on: -Deluxe Jazz 5 body -Maple neck and rosewood fretboard -Hipshot ultralites tuners and Hipshot A bridge -Nordstrand NJF5 pickups. -East J-retro preamp -Ice Blue Metallic finish. But there's one element on which I'm hesitating... The body wood. Alder or Ash? All in all, the other specs are a pretty common choice, but I don't want to go wild with this bass, I'd like to keep it simple and efficient. As you might have guessed, I'd like a Jazz Bass "Plus", with a powerful yet defined sound. A bass that will sit perfect in the mix (I play pop-rock with my band, there are 2 guitars and a keyboard...) If you guys have advices regarding the body wood, or even other elements (preamp, pickups, etc), I'm opened to suggestions ! Cheers ! Y. (I also posted this on Talkbass, don't beat me haha !)
  12. [quote name='risingson' post='1080453' date='Jan 6 2011, 10:13 PM']I'd be interested to know how many Zender signatures have been sold as of the release date a while back.[/quote] As of summer 2010, I heard something like 17 or 18, but not sure.
  13. What neck??? The new profile?
  14. [quote name='bigthumb' post='1075086' date='Jan 2 2011, 11:44 AM']Its pretty foul! I wonder if anybody buys their [i]Signature[/i] basses? Most of them look dreadful and probably cost the same as a family car![/quote] I would not buy a Signature Warwick, nonetheless the SZ signature is probably one of the best 4 string I've ever played. It's so good that a friend of mine, who enjoyed it so much too, ordered a Custom Shop Stage 1 5 string based on the SZ specs. It'll be killer. I'm a huge Warwick fan (or should I say a huge Streamer fan), my 4th custom shop Streamer is on order. I only have 2 of them now, I sold my LX6 a few months ago. The Streamer I have on order is a Jazzman 5 string, with ebony fretboard (I like to keep it simple). I'm so glad I placed the order at the end of december, prices increased again this year .
  15. If my bank account wasn't in a bad shape, I would jump on it... But I already told you so.
  16. I have to think about it :-)
  17. To be honest, it's only the color that avoids me from getting this bass...
