A "this will definitely be going to the SE bass bash" type bump. If anyone can explain why searching the forum for 'Epiphone', 'Flying' or 'Vee' doesn't find this posting I'm all ears.

Well possibly. And when I say cricket bat, I don't mean those funny hohners with no head or body.

[quote name='throwoff' post='1031422' date='Nov 21 2010, 02:29 PM']Is this lefty flippable?[/quote] Vees were quite popular with left handers when they first came out, so I don't see why not. You'd need to move the bottom strap button onto the other point and probably replace the nut.

El bumpo!

My son has decided to sell his Epiphone Flying Vee. This was his Xmas present 3 years ago He played it for all of 3 weeks, decided he had mastered it (hah!) and hasn't touched it since. As you can see it's in reallly good condition, no marks on the neck and nothing visible on the body that I could photograph. However, most Vees seem to have a little bit of wear on the points, and this one has a tiny mark on the back of each pointy bit which I've tried to capture here: And there is a little tarnishing of the gold on the machine heads: The scale length is 30.5" so perfect for smaller hands. All the passive electrics work and there is no crackle on any of the pots. The bridge is a genuine Epiphone item in black, which was supplied as a replacement when the original gold one tarnished. There is no case with the instrument but I do have the original shipping box. Finally if anyone called 'Nathan' is interested in this, we can do you a good deal on a custom embroidered strap, featuring this very guitar! The instrument is fitted with a set of serviceable Dunlop Straploks which are included with the instrument. Nathan would like £125 for this instrument, plus shipping if necessary. It can be collected from Ipswich, Central London or points inbetween. We're not really interested in trades unless it is for cricket gear. I can bring this to the SE bass bash if anyone would like to see it.

I'm delighted to say that this is now sold and is going to a very good home.

Up for sale is my 4-string Dean B2 Brian Bromberg signature model. If you like the looks and sounds of the earlier Peavey B-Quad but are looking for something of more modest means then this might appeal. It's a 34" scale length with a 5-piece neck through and what I think is a flamed maple cap. The fingerboard is rosewood, other than that I've no idea what the woods used in construction are. Original Dean web site page: [url="http://www.deanguitars.com/bromberg_signature.htm"]http://www.deanguitars.com/bromberg_signature.htm[/url] but doesn't tell you anything useful. This bass is very light and playable, with an extremely thin and fast 2-octave neck. Besides the conventional Jazz-style pickups the B2 has a Fishman Piezo bridge. There's a 3-way toggle which allows you to select piezo only, mag pickups only or blend the two. On its own the Piezo gives a very rich woody tone. The top octave rings out like the low end of a classical guitar. When used with the mag pickups it seems to add a bit of punch. All in all it's a very versatile instrument with a huge range of sounds. It's also a very clean signal so makes a good instrument for recording. The downside is getting your head round the controls: there's a master volume, a piezo volume and one stacked pot with volume for each mag pickup. The second stacked pot is bass/treble for the mag pickups and the final pot is a mid range control, again for the mag - there's no EQ for the piezo. Some pictures: The bass is in excellent condition, with only two small dings next to the jack socket on the bottom edge. I've tried to photograph these without much success here: the vertical white mark on the left of the photo is a reflection. The price is £250 . I'm not really looking for trades. There's no case, so shipping isn't an option. I can deliver the bass to Ipswich, central London or points in between, I can take it to the South East Bass Bash on 27th November, failing that you'll need to collect it.

'Scuse me, but what happened about the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 ? If you bought this on-line you're legally allowed 7 working days to change your mind, "cooling off period" it's called.

Yes, the forum rules state that you must put a price on your ad.
