  1. OOPS! Just been told that its actually a GSR190. I stand corrected! But yeah the fretboard does look real nice, wasn't sure of the wood though. Some more piccys......
  2. I'll have the bugger off you! If you could PM me your address then i'll get the cheque in the post to you. Cheers fella!
  3. Righty-ho, As part of a deal I have now aquired an ibanez Soundgear bass, I think its the GSR200 model but may be incorrect on that one. Its in really pretty good condition, only a couple of reasonable scratches on the back of the body, apart from that its in great nick. Its got a lovely chunky bridge, and probably the best truss-rod cover i've ever seen! (Why can't other bass makers use this idea?!?) Like I said its a great sounding bass, the P+Js make it really quite versatile, and it would make a cracking "pub gig" bass, or decent back up. I would keep it myself, but i've now realised that I have more basses than fingers so its gotta go! I'm after £80 for it, and if you come collect it from myself in North London then i'll throw in an Ibanez bedroom practice amp for nowt. (It works fine but has a slight buzzy fuzzy to it, but hey, its free!) Trade wise i'm after a boss chorus or octaver pedal, or gimme a try on whatever you might have lurking about.... Cheers y'all!

  5. Last time before the dreaded EvilBay....... Go on someone, offer me some pedals or summit. I'm feeling very bored on the tube and wanna buy a Sony Walkman phone thing.
  6. [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='314080' date='Oct 24 2008, 06:16 PM']I'll take this if you'll a) ship it and can wait for a week cos I'm going on holiday tomorrow morning.[/quote] Cheers for the offer, but to be honest I really can't be arsed to pack it all up and ship it for the sake of £80! Thanks anyway though. If there's no definite interest i'll bang the bugger on EvilBay in the next few days.
  7. THIS IS NOW WELL AND TRULY SOLD, MANY THANKS TO THOSE WHO SHOWED INTEREST BUT ITS NOW ON ITS WAY TO ITS NEW OWNER. Well having just bnought a lovely Jaco copy fretless from Trevthebass (cheers fella!) I've decided to try to do the "one in, one out" thing, so i'm now getting rid of my Peavey International series 5-string fretless. It's a de-fret jobby, but it's been done pretty well and it plays lovely, it has a surprisingly nice "Mwaahh" tone to it, and at £80 it would make an ideal way to dip your toe into fretless without breaking the bank. This is the only picture i've got at present, but if there's interest for any more then i'll do what I can.... I'm not going to try to convince anyone that it's something that it's not, but here's the low down; BAD POINTS: The pots crackle a bit when turned. Its never really bothered me, but you might want to replace or clean them. The body and neck have a few small dings here and there, nothing serious but it is a well played and gigged bass. GOOD POINTS: Through body stringing makes it sound real nice. Although its only a standard 34" scale, the low-B sounds very nice, its actually a great sounding bass for what it is. Its £80!! I'd also consider trades for something bass-related, let me know what you got. The main things i'm after now is a octave and chorus pedal, but give me a try on whatever you have floating around. I'm based in North London, but can deliver to Bristol (this weekend only) and Norfolk/Suffolk (early next week.) I don't really wanna courier it, so pickup preferred or I can possibly deliver in London at expense. Cheers y'all!
  8. Looks great matey, but the Genz Benz site says that its 350w, could you just confirm that it is 500w into 2ohms? Cheers mate, don't wanna be a pain in the bum but i'm just now after a 500w into 2ohms, so obviously i'm tempted......
  9. Is this still for sale? And if it is, how much would you be after for it including shipping to the UK? Cheers!
  10. Just a quick bumpage for an amazing sounding and quality built bass, and Beeg is a gentleman and a scholar to boot! Have a bump on me matey.
  11. Mmmm... Very nice. Does it come with the rack ears mate? I'd be mighty interested if it does. Could you also tell me the output too please, I'm guessing by the name its a 550w into 4ohms? Cheers.
  12. Just wondering, is the GK head 2U or 3U? And could you give me a rough weight of the beasty please sir......
  13. [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='303507' date='Oct 10 2008, 06:50 AM']Put it in the bank for when that - I MUST HAVE THAT - moment comes along.[/quote] I know that's really what I should do, but i'm like a kid in a sweetshop when i've got spare cash. I've just got to try to not blow it all on cider and tattoo's....... But yeah a custom sounds real sweet so far, have to look into some luthiers or maybe even take a peek at Warmoth.
  14. To cut a long story short I've just had the fortune to come into a little cash, and after paying off all my debts and buying a new car I reckon I've got about 2k to treat myself to some new bass gear. But.... the question is, how to bloody spend it. I thought for a while of just buying one real nice bass, maybe even look into getting a custom, but then I thought I should get a new rig with maybe £1200 and then buy a couple of lower priced basses (I'd love a Ergodyne Jazz or a Gary Willis fretless, and amp wise I quite fancy a EBS rig....) In all honesty I don't actually need a new rig, but if I start thinking that way then i'll realise I don't actually need any more basses either, and thats just crazy talk. So anyone got any suggestions? I love Robbie's RIM basses, and if needs be I could stretch out another £500 probably, but right before christmas should I just wait and see what bargains I can snaffle on here or the dreaded EvilBay? Mmmmm..........
  15. Just out of interest, is this still for sale amigo? Cheers.
  16. [quote name='Paul Cooke' post='289223' date='Sep 22 2008, 03:20 PM']argh... now you've added black tuners and bridge... question, would the tuners fit my Squier VMJ? and is the black bridge a drop in replacement for a normal Fender 4 string bridge? If yes to either or both, then I'd like to stick my name in for applicable item(s) I'm currently "toning down" my VMJ by making it black and maple. Got black strings on and proper Fender knobs... the control plate is already on order... argh... you've got to be fast here, that PM wasn't there when I started this post... [/quote] Good luck with the VMJ, I did exactly the same to mine a few months ago and stuck on all black hardware and a BassAss II, and now I bloody loves it! Take a peek at mine.... (oo-er!) (And its got a plastic teddy bear I found in a supermarket car park on the head to give it extra mojo) I'd be very tempted to the Jazz Pups if I knew a damn thing about putting the buggers in, but alas my soldering knowledge is very limited. By limited I actually mean I have none... Best of luck though amigo.
  17. I'd have them off you but unfortunately i'm [i]sans[/i] transport at the moment. If you still have them in a couple of weeks i'd love to have the buggers!
  18. I'm currently based in Enfield, North London, but i'm always going to both Bristol and Norfolk, so anywhere between any of those would be fine for me to possibly deliver. I might be interested in the Peavey, but in all honesty I already have a Peavey International 5-string. The pickups are active, but they're not the highest output i've ever heard, but still waaaay louder than any passive i've heard. Anyone else possibly interested.....?
  19. Righty-ho, this is just a bit of a feeler at the moment, but i'm thinking of parting company with my Traben Phoenix 4-string in "Black Shadow" finish. I've had it from new for about 18 months or so, and its only ever been to two rehearsals with me, so its in great condition. No nicks or dings or anything, as the photo's will show. Its a 35" scale, which the company stopped making about a year ago now. (They now make all their 4-strings at 34" scale.) Its got Gotoh tuners and that MASSIVE flame bridge, which sounds great when you string through the body and get sustain that lasts forever. It has the Traben active 3-band EQ, and the only reason i'm thinking of getting rid is because as much as I do really love it, for some elusive reason I just don't play it. I recently got the brass nut filed and it's now fitted with the bottom 4-strings of a 5-string set, so its tuned B/E/A/D. This can obviously be put back to normal, but you'd need to put in a new nut. But hey, thats only a few quid and easy as scratching your bum. It has an Ibanez-style fast neck, and the harmony central reviews all praise it pretty good; [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Bass/product/Traben+Bass+Company/Phoenix/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...ny/Phoenix/10/1[/url] Here's the link to the Traben website and the current model, which is exactly the same except the scale; [url="http://www.trabenbass.com/phoenix.php"]http://www.trabenbass.com/phoenix.php[/url] And here's a few photo's to gawp at..... Like I said i've had it from new, and had the extra pleasure of paying the £110 import shipping and tax on it. I'm not really sure what to ask for it, so i'm more open to trades. I'm after a 5-string or a tasty 4-string, or a half decent fretless would be nice. Possibly open to amps/combo's or whatever, try me for size. Just let me know what ya' got, but if nothing comes up then i'll keep it and look at it every now and then....! Cheers y'all. NOW WITHDRAWN FROM SALE, SORRY TO INTERESTED PARTIES BUT IT'S JUST TOO NICE TO GET RID OF TOO CHEAPLY!!
  20. I was just browsing the jobs online and found this, its got a few weeks before it ends and it sounds pretty good for the right person. [url="http://www.washijb.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/Internet/viewVacancy.do?selectedVacancy=4&ref=SHB/15394"]http://www.washijb.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/In...p;ref=SHB/15394[/url] There's another vacancy for the BBC orchestra on the same website too, but that one doesn't state salary. Hope this helps someone out there!
  21. Bloody hell! That was fast! Superb basses, and like I put on the other ad, if for any amazing reason you still have it in about a month then i'll gladly take it off your hands. Best of luck though mate.
  22. Sorry amigo, just measured mine and I have the extra long one too. It just feels that tiny bit too short for me, but then again I am 6'6". If its new you could bang it on evilbay or maybe here and take a small loss on it and buy the other one? Just a thought. Best of luck fella.
  23. Oh man, if you still have this for any reason in about a month then i'd happily give you £200 for it, I think these model Ibanez's are bloody fantastic. Have a bump on me amigo! (And I hope it doesn't sell.....!)
