Sorry to see this go, but I am keeping my old Reverend Rumblefish to gig with and this one is not getting played nearly enough - hence its almost "as new" condition. It's a nicely balanced 34" scale, passive, with simple controls, full demo is here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPb4239BL2o[/media] Fine details from the Reverend site are here: [url="https://www.reverendguitars.com/instrument/mercalli-5/"]https://www.reverend...ent/mercalli-5/[/url] I believe these are made in Korea then shipped to the US for quality control, and the ZSG signature near the s/no is Zak Green's in the US. The neck at the 12th fret is 2 5/8 inches, so not for small hands. String spacing at the bridge is about 19mm centre to centre string. The price is fixed, and I'm not looking for any trades thanks, ten basses at 69 years is already too many!!! Price is plus carriage, which is around £20 in the UK, or you can collect from Bournemouth and try it out first, or I will meet up at a fifty mile radius. Any other questions please ask.

Just to add four or five eggs, our band regularly played support at Bournemouth Pavilion in the mid 60's, and Robert Palmer with the great Alan Bown Set was one of the highlights (along with a certain Davy Jones & The Lower Third, now who could that be?).

Great underestmated bass. I have a five string version which is my "go to" bass. Good luck with the sale Horvath! Graham -
Have patience, I'm sure this beauty will sell. I had to wait a while to sell my LG3005. Most buyers will probably have to sell something first to fund this sort of money. Bump for an absolute top bass in a great finish. Graham -
Have to say that I enjoyed the day, as I did last year. Sunday visit, therefore, nice quiet drive up from Bournemouth, park free near the venue, and no congestion charge. Yes, there are numerous wannabees, playing exactly the same as the previous wannabee, but somehow I managed to blank that out. It was good to see close up just how good the GB basses are, you don't seem to see them all that often, plus the several new names, all of which look to be of good quality. I must say that walking round the stands of all of the new amp/speaker manufacturers they sound good and powerful, but a tad "middly" for my taste. I enjoyed listening to some guy testing the Ampeg 8x12 set up which sounded wonderful. I wanted to see/listen to more of the performers this year and got to see Mo Foster, Lee Sklar (my hero), and TM Stevens, who was a complete unknown to me, until I learned of his pedigree! Each of these had really good advice and spoke from years of experience and none of them spoke down to the audience. I only bought two sets of strings, as I'm in offload mode now, but there were plenty of bargains for those who were shopping. Although I had a late gig the night before, it was well worth the effort, and I'll be there next year, hopefully.

Lovely bass, the EMG's give this a completely different sound to the later 2500, and a much nicer finish than my black one. Bargain folks!

I'll be there on Sunday, gigging on Saturday. Graham -
Next time you're struggling with that awkward bassline!

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1386182281' post='2296875'] It's such a shame about these amps having what appears to be a smoke generator inside. Assuming it's new-ish, I'd thought Ampeg had fixed the earlier reported faults of cutting out with later revisions. Maybe they just replaced it with smoke. Anyway, if you like the Ampeg sound how about moving up to the PF800 which might hopefully be properly sorted: although it's pretty new on the market I have read a couple of favourable user reviews, and no negative [/quote] No probs with my PF800, love it!
-
Have just posted in "new Ampeg" thread above, Am very happy with my PF800 and a pair of 210 Pro Neos. Very portable.
-
No probs with my PF800, my back loves it too! Agree that the 410HLF is a super cabinet too, but too heavy for me now, so I'm pairing the PF with a pair of Ampeg 210 Pro Neos, highly recommended.
-
A bargain folks!

Hi, I've just traded my Roscoe Beck V for a very clean, and well set up De Luxe Precision V with David of Cotswold Bass Guitars, just this week. I decided to go to his home, which is also his showroom at the moment near Stroud to make the exchange, and couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. A very unhurried and pleasant deal. He has some really nice stock at the moment, which are very well set up. I have no problems recommending him at all, although if you decide to visit, you will definitely need a good sat nav!! I have no connection with him by the way. Graham

Do not use Parcelforce to ship musical instruments
graham1945 replied to a topic in General Discussion
Just a few five eggs here, I live on a speedhumped road which is also a rat run to avoid traffic lights. Every single courier firm speeds down here, totally ignoring the speed humps and one can hear the parcels landing a second or so after they ground their sumps. Current record breaker is a UKMail driver who was heard to shout "yee haaa" whilst fully airborne! Surely a market for a new company to exploit the failings of all the others? Graham -
Same colour as mine but in a more original state. No probs stringing B to G if anyone is wondering. This is worth every penny of the original asking price, good luck with the sale. Graham

Fred was a great guy to deal with. He bought a Fender Bass V pickup from me recently as was very patient with me going on two weeks holiday mid deal. Great communicator (by phone from Holland). I was very interested to hear that he builds multi stringed basses - check out his posts on youtube under 18 string bass - amazing!
-
As with all of the above, Mike is a great guy to deal with. Have just sold him my treasured Roscoe and the deal couldn't have gone smoother. Great communication, super fast bank transfer - just how it should be. Would have no hesitation buying or selling again. Thanks Mike.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1376823707' post='2179436'] I think I've owned a couple of rare'uns: 1983 Fender Walnut Elite II - I bought it in Santa Monica. It now resides in Texas: 1981 Fender Walnut Precision Special - first version: Absolute tone monster. Bought in Germany, now with a BC'er: Roscoe Beck IV in sunburst and Maple - I'm not aware of another this colour in the UK. Currently resides with me :-) : [/quote]Hi, I've got a sunburst 5 er RB, bought from Adey on here this year.

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I've had a few enquiries and most want further details of the bass, so here goes! It was invoiced to me by Guitar Villa as a Roscoe LG3005 in wood with steel strings, so not much help there then! My guess is swamp ash for the body which was/is a common wood for KR to use, see pic below. [URL=http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014296-Copy.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj578/graham1945/Bass%20Chat/P8014296-Copy.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The fingerboard is either all purpleheart, paduk or cocobola, again, see detail below. [URL=http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014299-Copy.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj578/graham1945/Bass%20Chat/P8014299-Copy.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Weight is around 9.75 lbs on my bathroom scales. Colour is Roscoe standard cordovan. Nut width 45mm, 12th fret 65mm. String spacing at bridge is standard Roscoe 18.3mm. I'm not sure if Roscoe keep a register of all of their guitars (very few are identical), but if it's an issue I'll e mail them to see if they do. Their current website is not all that helpful. Again, I'm not looking for trades as I still have nine basses (almost as many as we have gigs in a year!). Reluctantly I would ship in the UK for the same price, although, as stated, I'd rather have a face to face deal. Further afield would be at buyer's cost. Thanks again for looking, and the comments so far! Graham -
Sorry mtroun, liver might be a help, and I've just sold a Stingray (reducing my collection)

Hi, well, the time has come for me to part with my best bass. I purchased this new from Guitar Villa in Pennsylvania in 2005 and it has seen very little use since then. Basically it's such a nice bass I've been loathe to gig it. Hopefully the pics speak for themselves. It is in excellent condition, I cannot find a mark anywhere on it, no buckle rash or slapping swirl. It is un modified with standard Bartolini pick ups and pre amp and sounds great, almost any sound you want is in this bass. The maple burl is in my opinion amazing. It comes with the Roscoe case in the pics. Any questions please ask, but I don't have - or know how to - do sound clips, just check Youtube, there are far better players than me on there playing these. I am looking for a straight sale as I am trying to cut down my little bass collection, am in Bournemouth, and would prefer a face to face deal rather than ship this beauty. Don't mind a reasonable journey to do the deal, the price above is my lowest, and I think is a very fair price for this bass. My feedback is in the feedback section under "graham1945" [url="http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014298.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014290.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014288.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014291.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014292.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/graham1945/media/Bass%20Chat/P8014295.jpg.html"][/url] Thanks for looking, Graham

Been using a PF800 for a few weeks now and really like it. Found I need to cut the output on the guitar to get best results. I love the weight, which really was the main reason for purchasing. I'm using it with two pro neo 2 x 10's. Graham

Only got round to watching this the other night, what a great history lesson. OK so I'm an oldie, but can't recommend it enough to show where we all came from. Anyone else see it? Graham

Not mentioned here is the Modulus Flea 5, it's the narrowest of the ten I have, and plays itself.
