Bump, clean-up, and pedals added.

You know, you're right. We need a general solution for all cases of S! So G-W=S. We need to know what BMK is willing to sell a neck on its own for. Damn my terrible maths. I should have remembered that you can't possibly solve 4 variables from 3 equations!

I was just thinking about simultaneous equations the other day in the shower. Yes, I'm a geek. Finally a chance to use them in real life. Let's take B as the value of the bass without a neck. G is the value of the graphite neck. W the wooden, and S is shipping. So: B+G = 800 B+W+S = 800 B+W+G = 900 We can see straight away that W+S=G, and that W=100. Also G-S=100, and so 100+S=G. This gives us B+S=700 And therefore S=100, B=600, W=100 and G=100. Therefore we can speculate that the bass, plus both necks, plus shipping, B+W+G+S will be £1000. Which is a bargain IMO. I really enjoyed GCSE maths, all those years ago. Lovely bass, btw. I'm sure it'll sell soon.

Sorry guys - gone to Musky a couple of weeks ago.

In a recent bass deal I ended up with a Gator Extreme case - it's designed to fit every kind of weird or pointy guitar, using lots of velcro foam blocks that fit around the guitar. It's as new, still has tags on, and the key is inside. It's no use to me. Anyone want it for a tenner? Collection from Holloway, or I can meet you in central London. It's one of these: [url="http://www.gatorcases.com/productsmodeldetail.aspx?LID=2&PID=114&MID=87"]http://www.gatorcases.com/productsmodeldet...=114&MID=87[/url] [url="http://www.imuso.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?StockCode=AC00094"]http://www.imuso.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?StockCode=AC00094[/url]

Gone to ebay.

That's what I'll probably do today. Just wanted to give BCers a fair shot first! Get your offers in before 6, people!

I'm selling off loads of basses, following the rules of last in, first out. Next up is this Ibanez Rickenfaker. It's a 2388B and is, as far as I can tell, all original apart from the missing pickup cover, and one missing pickguard screw (I can supply a replacement). Solid body (I think), bolt-on neck, mono out, checquered binding, full-width sparkly inlays. Finished in black, and its clearly seen a few gigs as the finish is chipped in places. Or "mojoed", as I like to call it. Now on ebay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320305546584"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=320305546584[/url] LOADS of pictures at: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dangerboycreative/sets/72157607496440153/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/dangerboycrea...57607496440153/[/url]

I need to sell some basses. It's a sad, sad day. First out of the door is this lovely Hondo II. Yes, it's a bolt-on neck. yes, it has only one truss rod. Yes, it's made in Korea. Yes, it's ply. But it still sounds and looks good enough to be more than £150-worth of fun! it has two nice chunky single coil pickups and a big meaty sound with a touch of clang! I bought this off eBay a few months ago - the tuners, which appeared to be made of foil, were shot so I replaced them with big chunky Grover Titans that will stay in tune for months. The knobs were cracked and falling off, so I put on some smart new black ones. There are a whole load of photos at: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dangerboycreative/sets/72157607438981039/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/dangerboycrea...57607438981039/[/url] This is the same model of bass that Peter Hook played in the early Joy Division days, and used to record Unknown Pleasures.

So probably a shade under £20 extra. Anyone fancy entering the Rickenfaker world with a touch of history at a low, low price?

[quote name='joegarcia' post='284859' date='Sep 16 2008, 11:21 AM']Bought a Behringer bass od off Dangerboy that was pretty close. Can't remember but think it might have been £7 [/quote] Yes indeed. I am mad for old DOD pedals at the moment. I think I might be ill.

Anyone? All trades and offers considered.

I ended up with this bass as part of a pair from eBay. Short scale really isn't for me, so it's for sale. It's an Egmond, and made in Holland. Weirdly. Other than that I know nothing about it, except that it looks like it's had an interesting life. The body is ply and weighs almost nothing. The neck is incredibly skinny. The tuners have been replaced at some point in its life with Schaller copies (that stay in tune really well). The bridge is not fixed - its held by string tension, and you have to drag it into the right place to intonate the bass. Right now it's strung in fifths, with 120-90-60-30 gauge stainless steels. Two single-coil pickups, each with an on-off switch. There's another switch which has lost its shaft and doesn't seem to do a lot. Volume and Tone controls. £50 anyone? Or make me an offer? I can meet in London for pickup, or post to you if you pay postage. Always interested in trades.
