    [quote name='xroads' timestamp='1393358677' post='2379356'] what's the weight? [/quote] It weighs 4.1kg on my electronic scales, so not that heavy for a 5, and good balance.

    Blimey, takes me back. Whatever happened to John Wilson, who played bass on the original album?

    For sale is my Lakland 55-02 Deluxe in Amber with a rosewood board, fitted with a Jeannie's white pearl 55-94-style removable scratch plate. Made in 2007, Lakland pickups and preamp, excellent overall condition, just a few scratches on the back that I couldn't even photograph, and a small crack in the lacquer below the controls. Also included is a worn but perfectly serviceable lined case - it didn't come with the bass when I bought it, but it fits well and will protect it during shipping. A new set of D'Addario EXL170-5SL strings have just been fitted. A really eye-catching and great sounding bass. Looking for a straight sale only, no trade offers please. NOW SOLD PENDING PAYMENT.

    They're from the reunion tour - if they were from the 70's or 80's they'd REALLY be worth £7!

    It's for playing 'Big Bottom' on....

    Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan. I'd have to find a band who would want to play it live of course, but first I'd have to learn it...

    ...and on hold. Again. Sorry folks!

    Yikes! I'm just the other side of Woking, and to think I was bitching about my fence being blown down.... I hope everything in the boot survives, and the insurance company is sympathetic and fast about paying out for the car...

    Tony bought my Steinberger Spirit 5-string, and was a pleasure to deal with - great communication, immediate payment, a thoroughly nice guy. Deal with confidence. Thanks Tony!

    [quote name='Legion' timestamp='1392593168' post='2370532'] I'm afraid Jeannie's is on hold - sadly Roger passed away and no decision has been made yet regarding the future of the company. [/quote] Really sorry to hear that - I bought a plate for my 55-02 from him just a few months ago. It was beautifully made. Sad news.

    [quote name='Japow' timestamp='1392392211' post='2368141'] This beauty/beast now belongs to me. Very proud - and that's set to increase when I finally get to play her in a large venue on Sunday! I'm toying with the idea of adding a pickguard, but only if it's transparent. Anyone knows where to get one? [/quote] Jeannie's pick guards in the States, or more locally perhaps, The Gallery in Camden just made the plate for my black 55-94 in the post immediately before yours.

    David bought my Letts Scroll bass, and was a pleasure to deal with. Great communication by IM, email and phone, and between us we managed to crack the problem of getting the bass shipped insured to just north of Dundee, despite some carriers claiming that constituted 'Highlands and Islands'! Hope you enjoy it, and lang may yer lum reek.

    For sale is my Yamaha CPX-5 VS electro/acoustic with a Yamaha branded Hiscox Liteflite fitted case. About 10 years old, light home use only. Very good condition, no fret wear, dings or dents. New set of D'Addario strings just fitted. NOW SOLD, pending the usual.

    [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1392190316' post='2365690'] It's 17 Months.... 15 to go [/quote] Really? Good to know they're in demand, I suppose!

    [quote name='Chris Sharman' timestamp='1391938612' post='2362708'] Didn't I see one of those for sale recently named (I kid you not) the "sh*t-o-caster"? [/quote] You did. I contacted the seller (who also builds them) to ask if he could do a 5-string bass version, which he said he could, and for considerably less than they're asking for this one, I might add. I didn't go through with it in the end. Constipation.

    [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1392143878' post='2365313'] It's a bit optimistic. For 4k I would expect it to be perfect! Or am I being picky?? [/quote] No, not really. You could take the view that for a little more you could get a new one built to your own specs, but you'd probably have to wait a year to get it. I'm surprised the seller hasn't at least got a new pickup screw from Paul to replace the missing one. His bass is obviously from Pete Stevens' era, so to some that would make it more desirable. Bottom line, that's the value he's placed on it, and if someone loves it enough, it will sell. Good luck to him, they're great basses.

    [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1391971156' post='2363151'] Wow, that is a beautiful example of a terrific (and rare) bass [/quote] Thanks Gareth!

    Thanks for all the love, folks. Vintage bump.

    I played a Grosh in The Gallery a year or two back. Beautifully made, with great substance to the feel and sound. A fantastic instrument, good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='roonjuice' timestamp='1391976768' post='2363228'] how many amps? [/quote] I've never counted, but nothing like that figure! At the moment I have one amp, and one 410. Amps are never the problem, in my experience...

    For sale is my Steinberger XT-25 5-string. Home use only, completely unmarked. An extra strap button has been added. Not a 'real' Steinberger, being of all wood construction, but a great headless 5 for the money nonetheless. Complete with gig bag, instructions, lead and sticker! NOW SOLD, pending the usual.

    For sale is my Epiphone Zenith bass, in excellent condition. It has a piezo pickup under the bridge, a magnetic pickup at the neck, volume, pan, two band eq for each pickup, with mono and stereo outputs, creating a huge variety of tones. It plays beautifully, and recently had a fret stone and a setup at The Gallery. Despite the appearance of the f-holes, it's a solid and substantial bass. NOW SOLD. Thanks for all the interest.

    For sale is my Yamaha SB55, built between 1973 and 1976, in extraordinary condition for its age. All original, apart from the back of the neck having been re-varnished at some point. No visible fret wear. The not so good bits, for the purposes of full disclosure: there is a dink in the tip of the headstock, a small crack in the finish in the rear of the lower horn, a couple of small marks on the edge below the controls, and a little pitting in the finish along the back edge near the end strap button. Still in great condition for a 40-year-old bass! [s]The thumb rest is missing, but could easily be replaced.[/s] I have now bought a replacement thumb rest. Plays beautifully, really slim at the nut, with a clear, resonant tone. These were quality instruments, easily rivalling any American made jazz basses of the same era, and this model is rare, having been made for such a short time. £575. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades.
