    And down to £775 - surely that's gotta tempt someone This is a seriously nice, very playable 5 string. Would be a great first bass for someone new to 5 strings that wants a classy Fender vibe and a familiar shape, scale and spacing. . .

    Sure you don't want a '78 jazz in a nitro blue finish

    [quote name='TimR' post='738591' date='Feb 7 2010, 11:05 PM']I know of at least 3 rehearsal rooms who have storage space. You only pay a nominal monthly fee think it was £5 a few years back. They make their money because they know you will rehearse there. Just need to work on a bit of logistics when you have a gig and need to pick up gear and return gear.[/quote] I've been to a few rehearsal rooms that have this system as well. I've also been to some that have very small 'practice' rooms with just a kit set up. They will usually allow you to cart an amp in as well. My issue with a lock-up is that it's going to be pretty obvious that you're playing and leaving instruments there so it's going to be a prime target for theft. Some have decent 24 hour security but I'm not sure how common this is.

    This looks a little OTT for a living room system. . . Made, appropriately enough, by 'Earthshaker' Sound Systems

    Depends how new it is and, obviously, overall condition. If you want to be really sure you can sell it then I'd estimate closer to £750 than £900 with a target price around £800. I was pretty close to taking a superb one of these recently and had agreed £825 as a valuation. Also took one in PX last year & really liked it - zap me a PM if you want to know more

    Alan and I have transacted a couple of deals - he bought the Spector NS5XL from me and we recently traded a '72 P for a Celinder J Update. Really smooth no hassle deals - and I'm loving the Celinder

    Couple of trade offers but nothing that's tempted me so far How about a price drop for the weekend to £1,775. UK insured shipping at £30.
  12. molan
    Had some interest but not sold yet so how about a price drop for the weekend Now £800. UK shipping probably around £25 - has original hard case so plenty of protection

    have you asked Gareth - he's a bit of an Entwhistle nut [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showuser=5468"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showuser=5468[/url]

    I love the look of these Sean is a great guy to deal with as well

    Had a question about these eating batteries in the active circuit but as far as I know this one seems to be immune from that particular problem. Maybe it was the 18V Deluxe's that had issues?

    [quote name='BoomBass' post='734717' date='Feb 4 2010, 07:45 AM']Hi, I haven't put on a scale yet, but it is slightly more heavy than my J-Update 4. I can see that you have one of those, so you know what I'm talking about :-)[/quote] Mine is about 10.4 lbs I think so it's pretty 'substantial'

    [quote name='walbassist' post='733846' date='Feb 3 2010, 10:45 AM']Just a little too far away for me. Shame as I love a good fiddle and mando.[/quote] Very close to me but I don't

    Fantastic basses - amazing attention to detail and peerless build quality!

    [quote name='Sibob' post='732159' date='Feb 1 2010, 08:20 PM']I'm afraid I'm not interested, just thought it was a shame that it's going, seeing as you were one of the first to have one in the UK probably. Could you not just see about swapping it with someone for an Alleva 4? Si[/quote] I would definitely consider swapping the LG5 for a similar 4 but I don't think there's many out there (well - either that or Lozbass is hoarding them all, lol). Apologies for 'off topic' nattering Had some interest in the Fender but no firm offers yet - feels like a fair price to me but happy to listen to offers!

    Ok - I've had a couple of requests to give a straight sale price so I thought I'd put up a valuation on it I'm 'in' this bass for around £1,800 so that's my target price (and also the equivalent value I'd be looking for a trade deal).
  24. molan
    Quick update on trade options Definitely not looking for any Spectors other than an NS4. Will think about a high end 4 string or possibly a 4 that's easy to trade on like a stock Fender J or P or a Lakland Skyline etc. Also - and this may be far too complicated to work but I'll throw it out anyway - I know that Alan is interested in "an early 70's/late 60's Fender, or maybe a Wal" and his NS4 would suit me perfectly. If anyone fancies an NS5XL in exchange for something that I could maybe then trade to Alan I'd be interestd in trying to set something up, lol.

    Mistakes

    molan replied to Owen's topic in General Discussion

    How about some of Stevie's drumming from the classic trio of albums - Talking Book, Inner Visions & Songs in the Key of Life era when he played on a lot of drums on his albums. Some of the playing is just a bit 'rudimentary' compared to the quality of everything else going on & some if it sounds a bit 'wrong' in places (although in other parts it just works perfectly). The way the drums kinda fall into the chorus on I Believe When I Fall in Love always sound out of time to me - funnily enough I've just YouTubed this and it sounded much better than my LP version. I wonder if it was adjusted at all when transferred to CD?
