Harder to say no to an offer in person I find. If you're going to try it out maybe mention you know it's been advertised for a while. It's a buyers market so offer what you're willing to and be prepared to walk away. It's still a bit rich at that price, limited edition or not. It'd be that price used from Bass Direct or BassBros.

They may state that they're firm at 1.6k, but it was originally listed for more so there may still be wiggle room - been watching that one myself! You'd from Norn Iron too Steve?

I remember discussing this bass with somebody in the Gallery workshop (can't recall the chaps name, but it wasn't Martin) shortly after it was built. It was commissioned by a guy who was a helicopter pilot. He wanted the maximum string tension Martin could possibly give him. I'm sure there was more information imparted at the time but that's all I can recall.

WANT!

That looks mighty! If you decide you're going to do a run I might be interested!

Remember it. The seemingly monthly picture of the Wall of Wals in Guitarist magazine was always worth a drool! They had an early association with Jon Shuker too as I recall...

Saw this on you IG earlier. Sounds top notch! Got me interested but need to make room... have WAY too many basses laying around!

I've been considering doing something similar with my Vintage Tony Butler signature P for a LONG time...

The MXR Bass Envelope Filter is a band-pass filter, I think most bass synth sounds are based around a low-pass filter. In my limited experience you have to play an octave pedal a bit. Requires a technique adjustment. Ian Martin Alison has done an excellent video on this.

Terrible news...

New Sire V6 and P6 models coming (also listed on Andertons). £529 for 4 string, £609 for 5 string. 5 string V6 in Ocean Turquoise could be interesting...
