You need also to make mention of Pete the Fish's appalling taste in footwear - his penchant for White patent leather loafers still gives me nightmares! Hahaha (sorry Pete, you know I love you really!)

Yup, if you're relatively new to bass, 'try before you buy' is very good advice!! I also remembered the last few guitars I bought in the States over the past year and a half - Olympic White USA Jazz Bass, another Olympic White Jazz with matching headstock, fretless Musicman Stingray honeyburst, and a Gibson Custom Shop ES-335. All bought unplayed and delivered to my Manhattan address. I guess quality control of most manufacturers is pretty good these days as all of the instruments were great. Saying that, I always 'tweak' my instruments to my own preference whenever I get one! -
I just realised that I haven't gone into a guitar store and tried a bass before buying it since the late 1990's. All the basses I've bought have been commissioned instruments. Pay a deposit, agree the spec and pay the balance before getting the instrument. I've bought quite a few basses this way (8 Sei Basses, 4 Nordy basses, 2 Bravewood, Wes Steed P-Bass, Bruce Johnson Ampeg style fretless, fretless Stingray to my specs - still awaiting completion of that one). Anyone else find that they've inclined toward setting their own spec in regards to instruments?

I had the exact same rig around 2002 and I was fortunate never to have any problems with mine. I had mine in full flight cases, and sold it to the owner of the 'American Guitar Store' who I then bought an Alembic Mark King from. I wonder where that rig ended up? -
Martin's made me 8 Sei basses over the years, I think I should think about the next one to order? The basses shown on here are gorgeous. For those who have been fortunate enough to order a Sei Bass, the process of material selection is addictive, huh?

What a load of old bollocks!

Ah, I see! So it would be the one on page 32 of John's 'Bass Culture' book?

Graeme playing his P-Bass on the breakthrough hit 'Wishing I Was Lucky' was a glorious sound.
-
That would have been John's 'Fender-bird' hybrid bass

Or here's some from the USA - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DJ-case-speaker-hardware-large-plastic-corners-8-pcs-/150584991885?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230f90a08d#ht_578wt_815"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DJ-case-speaker-hard...8d#ht_578wt_815[/url]

Here you go mate - the same ones as used on Aguilar stuff (I've measured the dimensions against my own GS112 to check also) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/87mm-Heavy-Duty-Plastic-Stacking-Corner-Speaker-Cab-/120699420259?pt=UK_ConElec_SpeakersPASystems_RL&hash=item1c1a3efe63#ht_1656wt_1049"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/87mm-Heavy-Duty-Plas...#ht_1656wt_1049[/url] Just search on Ebay under "plastic speaker corner" and you'll get a load of stuff to look through.

How about exporting bass to Holland from UK

I sent mypink Nordy VJ5 to Belgium via Interparcel - no problems whatsoever. Collected from Scotland on the Tuesday afternoon, delivered to Belgium on the Friday Morning!! -
Just popped through to Edinburgh to pick up the Aguilar DB410 I bought off Gavin. Really nice guy - even helped me shoehorn the cab into the boot of my car. Also, that's a great rehearsal room you've got there Gavin!!

Mike bought my 3leaf Audio Groove regulator - great communications and very quick payment - Mike, you're a star!
-
Sold, paid for and posted - that was quick, huh? Massive thanks to everyone who contacted me. Kevin -
Pics as promised. Just arrived home and the battery is flat on my Casio Exilim camera, so had to use the iPhone for the first pic These ones are from an earlier post on Basschat

[b][/b]Hi there, I'm selling my pristine condition 3leaf Groove Refulator as I'm not using it right now - I seem to be in a 'straight bass sound' frame of mind at present. I was looking for past sales of these units and saw that Phil.I.stein sold his at the end of February. He originally posted his for £125, then reduced it to £110, then down to a crazy price of £105 delivered in the UK. Anyone who knows me will be aware that I'd prefer my equipment was being used rather than it sitting gathering dust at home. (that probably explains why so many friends have my stuff at their place? Hahaha). So, I'll match "phil's" price of £105 delivered in the UK. I'm at work right now, but I'll post pics of the unit in a couple of hours. The unit itself is unmarked, as is the box, hessian bag and info sheet. There's a cool clip on bass player tv of Jonathan Herrera demonstrating the unit's unique "pulse" function where you can trigger the filter from an external source such as a drum machine to get the bass sound pulsing at the same beat as the rhythm source - very cool! If anyone is interested, drop me a message. Kevin

I'm going to see them in Glasgow in May, and I am so excited! Yippee!!

I sent my pink Nordy VJ5 to Belgium via interparcel. I just looked on the site. To send the cab to Belgium in around 3 days would cost under £37.00 using the FedEx economy delivery service.
