Do you know how shipping, import duties and VAT would work? Also, how would the Fodera warranty operate? -

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1349283427' post='1824299'] That's the most 'headed' headless bass that I have ever seen! [/quote] That's exactly what i was just thinking

Custom made Fodera 6 fretless Monarch, built by Vinnie himself

[quote name='k-sad' timestamp='1349196910' post='1823159'] "before they were bought out" U sure of your infos mate? STUNNING monarch btw [/quote] I'm with you on this one - surely Fodera is still a private company and Vinny works, at one stage or another, on everything that goes through the workshop? -
I have a friend who is an absolutely massive Anthony Jackson fan and he only recently discovered that AJ was playing with Hiromi at Ronnie's this week. If anyone is going & might know of a spare ticket they could make a fellow bass player a very happy man indeed

Have you checked TalkBass? There's a guy there looking for exactly the reverse trade! Perfect match . . .

I have seen Metros drop below £1,000 but not very often. If condition isn't perfect and/or there are any issues with electrics then it's still a good price but not a 'crazy' bargain. If it's in good condition, plays well and everything is as it should be then £900 is definitely a good price.

Looks really nice - what scale length is it?
-
Oh my word - build time on a new one of these is crazy!

I thought the iPad on the top bass was simply his way of sending messages to the real bass player standing behind the curtain like Lina Lamont & Kathy Sheldon. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wI4jJq98tU

What a surprise - Muse come across as crass manufactured pop that's been processed and produced to 'perfection' whilst Lydon appears to be a genuine performer . . .

[quote name='eubassix' timestamp='1348477753' post='1813930'] Could happen .. but will take an eternity. Any Cheque would have to be signed in blood and accompanied by a Contract for your soul...(man).... [/quote] I'm fine on the signing with blood element but not sure mu soul is worth much any more

[quote name='Platypus' timestamp='1348436458' post='1813710'] Barrie, I think it's fair to say that you have had one of everything at one time or another! [/quote] I've never had a Dingwall
-
I spy a trend in pricing - does this mean it may eventually be available for an, appropriately devilish, £666
-
I had one of these for a while, great basses

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1348155012' post='1810130'] Less than a mile from my home and I am in the recording studio in NW London all day ... sod's law [/quote] And I was only going to see you as well Will be there about 1:30 - I'll be the one wearing a black Paul Frank T with a pink Fender Musicmaster pic on the front, lol

One for you proggies - bit of Gabriel era Genesis live

Fretwraps - good idea but atrocious price
molan replied to TorVic's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I have some - they work reliably, scrunchies don't, end of story for me. As far as I'm concerned, at £6.66 each they are a huge bargain relative to their usefulness, especially against lots of other 'talent enhancers, lol. In fact they account for about 0.2% of the value of the bass my ones are currently siting on & they certainly contribute significantly more than that As it happens I spoke to the manufacturer recently in the USA. They've been desperate to get prices down by outsourcing overseas but every set that comes back has flaws and simply doesn't work properly (either immediately or after a little use) - at which point they just turn into an expensive scrunchie. Apparently they've tried lots of potential suppliers but no-one has been able to replicate the local USA manufactured items properly -
[quote name='markorbit' timestamp='1348077926' post='1809019'] Molan, I have done the dirty deed and ordered a UK Heritage B15 some time ago, hence, the mass clearout to raise the funds. I also fancy a Ken Smith Black Tiger BSR5TN in the future so it's a case of swapping gear around in order to get there. [/quote] Cool - I tried one of those when they first came out about 2 years ago. Didn't get long enough to play it though because some bloke called Daryl Jones tipped up & the Ampeg rep hoofed me off the stand It also made me lust after one but I decided to by an original rather than the Heritage - partly because it was about half the price of a new one . Picked up a '67 which I really like but not sure I'd want to be taking it out as a rehearsing or gigging amp and running the risk of damaging a genuine little piece of vintage kit (although this doesn't bother me with any of my older basses - must be the valves I'm afraid of, lol).

[quote name='markorbit' timestamp='1348060242' post='1808643'] Yes it is. And if/when my B15 successfully arrives that will be up for sale too! [/quote] Oh no, a Monique into an IP112 (with a 2nd 112 for gigs) is pretty much my perfect setup. . . Have you bought the B15 yet or still hunting (I have one of these that I just bought, lovely thing it is too!)?

[quote name='Louisiana Boy' timestamp='1347924973' post='1806850'] Thanks for posting this very informative quote. I hope to find a clean one soon. They are getting harder and harder to find. [/quote] It's a shame you are so far away - I know of one good condition one for sale and another that's absolutely brand new, still has the little plastic bags over the tuners & cover on the scratchplate!

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1347897439' post='1806329'] Geddy. Tsk tsk, Barrie! [/quote] That's vaguely heartening actually as the only bass-playing Lee I could think of was Will but I knew he mostly played Sadowsky. I dislike Rush with quite an intense passion - one of those bands that make me zoom for the 'off' button whenever they come on the radio, totally unlistenable! Despite my extreme dislike of the screechy Mr Lee's whining voice I do quite like his basses though
-
Apologies if this is a dumb question but who is Mr Lee?

Physically they might fit together as they are pretty similar depth & width. However the 151P is fractionally deeper than the Aggie so you'd really need to sit them together to see how neatly they stack. I'm not sure they'd look great as a pair given the very different styles? If the 151P combo has the same sensitivity as the 151P cab then you'd have a good sensitivity match as both cabs would be more or less 100db (assuming Aguilar & MB measure sensitivity the same way). MB stuff does sound quite different from the Sl though. I really couldn't say how they sounded together without really listening to them. The MB NY151 is a perfect match for the 151P if you want a more uniform 'look' and tone.

Was he playing the LPB bass?
