  1. [quote name='Toasted' post='641180' date='Oct 30 2009, 03:12 PM']What's it coming by? Seagull? [/quote] I reckon it actually arrived in the UK a while ago but ParcelFarce have only just got round to telling me about it (and asking for their £8 clearance fee!).
  2. [quote name='Flanker2' post='611112' date='Sep 28 2009, 05:45 PM']Molan Is it here yet??? I played Birdy's 'new' jazz on Sunday and it is fantastic - I want one! Has he come clean about which bass it is yet?[/quote] It's finally arriving on Monday! I missed the deadline by about 30 minutes to get it today & didn't want to pay the extra £12 to have it delivered tomorrow, lol. It's taken an age to get here - was posted in the US on about 10th October!
  3. [quote name='nonkel26' post='637974' date='Oct 27 2009, 02:43 PM']The weight of the bass is appr. 4,7 kg Dirk[/quote] That's about 10.4 lbs?
  4. [quote name='nonkel26' post='636159' date='Oct 25 2009, 02:55 PM']Sorry, I forgot to mention the sale-price: 3999 EURO Dirk[/quote] All I need is for the damn pound to recover against the Euro and get back to where it was a few years ago
  5. ooh this is nice - I'm a huge fan of those buckeye burl tops. One of these sold on EBay UK a few months back and I only just missed out on it

    Sold.

    [quote name='Josh' post='615877' date='Oct 3 2009, 05:29 PM']That's odd, my profile isn't set to private at all.[/quote] Works fine for me
  7. I used these guys for my house insurance: [url="http://www.ehomeinsurance.co.uk/"]http://www.ehomeinsurance.co.uk/[/url] And paid an additional premium to specifically cover musical instruments for professional use outside the home We've just had to claim for damage to a ceiling following leaky pipes & they were brilliant.
  8. I am so envious of you all - it looks like such a good day. I was mostly shopping in Macy's Washington at the time Although I did receive a rather nice Alleva Coppollo at my hotel the day before so it wasn't an entirely bass free weekend
  9. [quote name='jakesbass' post='625652' date='Oct 14 2009, 12:29 AM']Giving this thread a cheeky bump on the back of the SE Bass Bash workshop. I've got a couple of fortnightly slots going for anyone interested in learning. Jake[/quote] Looks like I've wangled myself a 4 day working week starting with almost immediate effect - might give me some time to get organised (at last!).
  10. [quote name='Rayman' post='600146' date='Sep 16 2009, 01:12 PM']I just downloaded Aja a week or two ago, so I've broken my 'Dan Duck'. I'm liking it a lot.[/quote] Go for the box set - it's always my 'reserve' on the iPod playlist whenever I can't think what else to listen to
  11. [quote name='birdy' post='599716' date='Sep 15 2009, 10:57 PM']Did anyone on here buy Tommix's LG5? He said it's heading across the pond to the UK!! Looks like a real beauty as well. Steve[/quote] You're not very good at interpreting subtle hints you lot The answer is yes
  12. I very nearly bought this one a year ago: Oops - wrong forum. . .
  13. [quote name='wombatboter' post='592176' date='Sep 7 2009, 03:49 PM']I love buckeye burl.[/quote] Me too I'm still smarting from missing out on a buckeye burl MK Signature from a few months ago Looks gorgeous Lawrence, another 'dream' bass for the collection
  14. Nice one Michael, pleased to see the money went to a good home Are the P's missing their sibling yet?
  15. [quote name='Lloyd C' post='596668' date='Sep 12 2009, 05:04 PM']it IS like that one, not quite as "sparkly" blue, with wine red scratchplate...the steve harris signature, iron maiden logo and Eddie (!) are on the front of the headstock too. the pots are metal but in black.[/quote] The pronounced sparkle may just be the effect of a flash. They always make colours look darker and highlight sparkle and flame finishes.
  16. Wow, haven't seen one of these for ages, looks lovely
  17. [quote name='lozbass' post='596376' date='Sep 12 2009, 10:09 AM']Well spotted - that's seriously weird. I think that four is my bass (but it's not my sofa)...yep, just checked. It is mine. Tommix may have confused his pics (or there could be a stranger explanation)[/quote] It's not Tom's fault - it's mine I was randomly looking at pics of his basses and took the first ones to be the 5 that was up for sale and then spotted some more sunburst pics later in his collection so just stuck one of those in as well! The 4 is probably yours Lawrence as it's an older picture I see Tom lives in North Carolina and one of us is due to go touring the Carolinas and Georgia next week, maybe he'll pick it up whilst he's there
  18. [quote name='Toasted' post='579943' date='Aug 25 2009, 10:31 AM'][url="http://talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=574790&highlight=sadowsky"]http://talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t...hlight=sadowsky[/url] Check out that beauty [/quote] I see this one is marked as 'sold pending' EDIT - and here's its 4 string cousin previously owned by the same seller Wonder who bought it and whether it might be heading over to the UK as well?
  19. Good shout Matt, Definitely worth getting as many valuations as you can. Dealer prices are all over the place at times. Some will go artificially high and say they'll fog it on commission for you and then they'll sit on it for a bit and tell you the market is dead and you'll need to drop the price to sell it. Others will go really low and offer sod all. Then they'll flog it for twice what they paid. 'Insurance' valuations are generally high to protect people against the possible loss and hassle of claiming. Basically it's a ll a bit of a minefield but worth seeing what a few pros say before you kick yourself by selling too cheap
  20. [quote name='carlosfandango' post='589856' date='Sep 4 2009, 04:51 PM']I don't play that much bass anymore (only guitar!)[/quote] Carl - what has become of you eh? And I thought you were a decent guy as well
  21. Personally I think the LP blue is the best colour for these Michael is a super nice guy to deal with as well
  22. I've been missing the old girl already This really is a beautiful bass & a delight to play. Something about the woods mean it's more versatile than the 'regular' NS5XL's with solid maple bodies.
  23. Just out of interest are all you basses & guitars made in Japan and do all prices include shipping & insurance to the UK? Just checking as some of them have 'US' prefixes and it's complicated to compare some of the pricing against similar 'street' pricing here in the UK.
