  1. Not sure if this is 'proper' so will understand if it is moved or removed... Been offered (via ebay NOT BC) a Ken Smith BSR 5J against my Celinder 6 (which was previously listed on ebay). I've been thought a fair number of instruments (!) but really don't know the KS's at all: they were available in Singapore, but only the Burner series .. and I wasn't impressed. This seems to be the 'budget' USA-made model, with a street price (new) of around $3500 - but no idea what sort of value they hold here; the bass seems goood overall, but there's obvious wear above the neck-pickup and a more serious repair to the headstock edge (lower) below the 'B' Tuner. Any comments on the bass and/or 'value' would be great (here or via PM)
  2. Having taken ages to complete this matched pair of Tokai J's, thought I'd share the result (and ideas, if interest) here ... although not sure if it's the right place (?). Bought the two (identical) basses online. There's no fretless version available - so then had to source tools (fret removal) and investigate what's available to create something similar to the glossy finish on the Pedulla basses, whilst avoiding the use of superglue or epoxies (which sounded a bit risky, with limited skill/s and resources). So, basically, all I've done is to remove one neck (after spending some time playing the basses and deciding which was the better fretted/fretless option), then spent hours removing frets, filling slots (decided to use filler rather than veneers, as I knew I wanted to try the poly-coating; and a more subtle red-mahogany, then the usual white-maple) and then sanding & coating the f/board. Quite pleased with the results (see photos) - as the basses feel exactly the same and the fretless has worked-out pretty well; not quite as glassy (or Perfect !) as the Pedulla boards ... but it does 'sing' and resonate well (plent of 'mwaaahh'). I've decided to use some LaBella Deep-Talkin' flats on the FL initally, just to see how the finish copes - although it is described as 'the toughest finish for all interior woodwork/furniture (heat, impact, alcohol & solvent resistant)' and was/is used for Bar top coatings (hence the alcohol reference!).
  3. [quote name='BarnacleBob' post='844484' date='May 21 2010, 06:40 PM']... 1991 Overwater Perception Deluxe.... Any questions, ask away. BB[/quote] Q: when did OW start doing these?.... I didn't realise they made them back in 1991
  4. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='844301' date='May 21 2010, 04:03 PM']... and it's not me as the weight was just too close to my maximum! So I wonder who did get it? [/quote] .... protocol dicates that I must leave it up to the buyer to reveal his true identity. But you're in the Extreme North / Boreders (....not much to do up there) John. This was more NY ..... and nice to meet-up with another BC'er in person...
  5. [quote name='molan' post='844227' date='May 21 2010, 03:05 PM']Me too - I don't really 'need' something like this but it was such a great price for a really nice looking bass - I've been biting my typing fingers to stop me making a play for it, lol.[/quote] ... seems there were quite a few 'interested' BC'ers now coming out of the woodwork(er)'s - it's a make well worth investigating (BassLine.de) if you get another opportunity. I'm not sure re. their output, but surprised they're not represented/known at all over here. ... how many fingers is that then ... 2 (index) ?!!
  6. [quote name='Flanker' post='844110' date='May 21 2010, 01:26 PM']HALELUJAH !!!! [/quote] [quote name='lozbass' post='844121' date='May 21 2010, 01:36 PM']The news offers a bit of stress relief for me. Sombody has snagged an absolute bargain![/quote] .. Thanks Flank'/Loz' !!.. there was sudden (x3) interest in the bass over the past couple of days. Fortunately it's remaining within the BC Community (.. and the North of England!) .. and has gone to the first player to express some serious interest.
  7. [quote name='lozbass' post='842943' date='May 20 2010, 11:28 AM']In my opinion, the best £1600 any ERB player could spend anywhere in the world just now.[/quote] .. seconded ! .. (with no bias whatsoever)
  8. Thanks / totally agree Richard ! .. you seem to be encountering a similar problem with the Valenti (?). The Bassline basses are not so well known (no dealer/distributor here) but have similar build quality to other small German luthiers/Co.'s. Here's one of their 'Worp' models, that I'm keen to checkout in the future (... although the current rrp. is around €4k !). The Valenti looks great - can't think of many other handmade/quality J's you could get for that sort of price (!).
  9. I'd forgotten all about this - it's over a year old now! ... I'll check re. the RockSchool books (and the others) and update the post.

  11. [quote name='dr1' post='825559' date='May 2 2010, 03:07 PM']what an instrument!!! Celinders are such a top notch! the price is more than a fair! have a bump from me.[/quote] .. thanks dr.1 !! ....
  12. Thanks Werner .. and I 'feel your pain', both personally and empathetically: it's an exceptional and uncommon bass, which I'd love to keep had I the option.
  13. [quote name='aznbass' post='818254' date='Apr 25 2010, 06:05 PM']Thats really cheap for this bass, I wouldnt go so low my friend, someone will want it.[/quote] Agree / ... hope-so! (... and Thanks) I'm dropping the price to a simple £999 (incl.) o.b.o. (although I did try it lower than this to match the previous ebay listing) - it's an exceptional bass at the price and in comparison with others in the same price range (the bass, originally, being €2k+, of course). It's worth checking-out the Bassline link(s) in the OP as they give some idea of the build concept and quality, and also have some sound-clips. [b]£999[/b] (incl.) o.b.o.
  14. Carlsbro Cobra Bass 112 Combo Size: H=26inch. W=18.5inch. D=12inch Weight: about 50lb (22kg) Power: 90w EQ: 5 push button - band pass filters + high mid & low plus "Deep" switch Speaker: 12inch (150w. Rated) Other: Tolex (not at all bad for age, with some nicks/repairs) + plastic/rubber trim. This amp was made quite a few years ago but remains in pretty good condition. Carlsbro sturdiness & reliability. The 12" speaker (replaced/upgraded) is loud, and the unit features 5 band pass filters, plus Hi Mid & Low EQ (rotary), which is more than adequate. Plus the "DEEP" switch, akin to a turbo-boost Bass. You can also use the D.I.-out, and plug into the P.A. The layout is very easy to understand, and is placed on the top of the cab', so there is no bending down to view or change any of the settings. The old, original cover and speaker were a bit tired, so were replaced with a an Ampeg(Eminence) 150w/8-ohm rated better-quality bass speaker and a smooth, black cloth cover. Something of a classic unit and also reasonably portable in terms of size and weight. Good for small venues and practice. Collection/meet-up (north-east) prefered but would be able to package/send if required. I've had this for quite some time and haven't used it for ages ... so really looking to get-rid. Will be willing to accept any reasonable offer (collection/meet-up preferred but not essential)
  15. Thanks Jon ! .... it's certainly unusual, but ESP's (of the era) seem to be well-made instruments.
