[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1355527561' post='1899744'] Good choice of new bass! Hope you find a good one ps fancy selling your SS1 yet? [/quote] Hi man I've found a good one, from 1987! Just need someone to buy this first - so far - little interest and in a short answer..... no

that looks nice

[quote name='funkyspuke' timestamp='1355490296' post='1899086'] it is a bargain .. thinking about it now but, I wan't my LMIII [/quote] wan't ?? is that bradford dialect?

Woah, keep calm. I think the thing is that its a good price but not so good you would take a risk without seeing it, warwickhunt has sold me a ss1 for less in the past and he had his advert up for about 8 montha before I found the money. Considering the scratch/crack is just behind the nut (ie one end of the truss, and in a similar place i hope you understand folks hesitancy. I dunno about other folk but coventry is over 100 miles away from me and not a cheap trip. you stuck an ad up and got 10 responces, that's ten more than. Ive got for a bass with no issues!

[/font][/b][/color] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Just about[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Have I been snowed under with offers and people clamouring to get this bass.... [/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]No.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Is is a fair bit rarer and about 25% less than the 1982 US P bass folk were talking about in the bass forum. [/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Probably. [/font] [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1355355226' post='1897454'] Nice haul!! [/quote] I know, Would have been nice to see in real life. [quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1355361286' post='1897502'] best ad i've seen on here [/quote] thanks [quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1355391561' post='1897618'] A truly beautiful example of a JV. All the best with the sale Luke! [/quote] thanks again!

[quote name='BigJim' timestamp='1355394846' post='1897711'] Massive respect for Chris, what a nice guy he is!! [/quote] +1 and outstanding with the setup of basses. He did my frets and... they are perfect.

I've played this. It's very very nice

[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Sure. My aunt had it in her cupboard and thought it was a playstation controller. Before it was in her cupboard it seems to have been well played and had a recent fret dress. It plays well.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So can you tell us about it?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Well it was a model of Yamaha SG made in Japan for the european market in about 1985-86. It's not one of the cheap ones, but it's not one of their top of the range ones either. Mahogany body and neck, maple cap, rosewood fingerboard...[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So is it a Yamaha version of a Gibson SG?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]No, SG stands for Solid Guitar - if anything it's their version of a Les Paul, but with their own shape. [/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So does it sound like a les Paul?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Bob I'm a bass player, and put it through a little practice amp, I don't know. Actually when I was thinking about selling this before I went around the shops and played a load of guitars, it seemed to me that you would have to go over a grand for similar quality which is why I chose to keep it. I was most like the gibson les pauls, with a skinnier neck. Sound wise.... er humbucker type tone... .I don't know the differences! It sounds really nice on single coil mode too, a bit like a slightly fatter sounding tele on the bridge- again I'm a bass player so I have no confidence describing electric guitar comparisons. It sounds good though. [/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So what do you want for it?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I dunno, they don't come up for sale often. High end SG's go for thousands, the low end and tiwanese ones for a couple of hundred. How does £450 sound?[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]What about trades?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Try me - a nice bass of some kind? I have no money to throw in but have my Jazz bass (based on a Squier japan silver series body/alder body refinished by yours [/font][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]truly) as possible addition for the "right bass"- not jus' any ol' crap ken. [/font] [color=#008000][b][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Sounds good! Where is it?[/font][/b][/color] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]It's in leeds. Due to my crappy amp it may be easiest if I bring it to you and your amp locally.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]What if I don't live locally?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Live near a train station? Pay for my train ticket (return), I'll bring it to your door.... (within reason) [/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][b][color=#008000]Any other photos...
