  1. I would never had thought any bass was worth as much as £4K but now that I own a pair of US Spectors I do feel I can see how they might fetch over $5,000 new. I'm absolutely loving my latest one, so inspiring to play - just lets me play things I couldn't get close to on anything else I've tried.
  2. Wow, I completely missed that one. From what I've read about him he was supposed to be a really nice guy, always cheerful & smiling etc. This is a nice little clip about him from an album launch: I rather like his version of Get Down It, a bit 'smooth jazz' in places but there's really nice bass playing going here: What a shame. . .
  3. Really interesting post I've never even seen a Celinder in the flesh but they do look really nice & beautifully finished.
  4. The 1510e is an absolutely cracking all round cab! Very rare piece of kit but with a great 'does everything' kind of sound
  5. Wrong colour - gotta be sea foam green
  6. Now paid for and collected
  7. [quote name='hubrad' post='486913' date='May 13 2009, 02:00 PM']If that person is on here.. JUST DO IT - YOU'LL NEVER REGRET IT! [/quote] In order: He sure is, I'm hoping he will, if he does then I'm hoping even more that he won't
  8. I have someone very interested in this & I've agreed to give them first refusal with a 24 hour 'thinking period' So - if anyone else is interested in making an offer I won't be able to confirm if it's still available for 24 hours from the offer time. Hope this makes some sort of sense
  9. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='486267' date='May 12 2009, 07:20 PM']Now that's what I call minimalist: Gain/Bass/Treble Excellent.[/quote] Nah - gain only would be proper minimalist Looks like a really funky piece of kit I must admit!
  10. [quote name='Lysdexia' post='486226' date='May 12 2009, 06:26 PM']Hi Guys - offers around the £750 mark which will include case and UK delivery for this beauty. As ever - more pics to follow [/quote] How much for the bass?
  11. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='485569' date='May 12 2009, 08:18 AM']Hey Barrie, if I had a spare grand knocking around at the moment I'd rip your arm off for this one. But as it is, best of luck with the sale, mate.[/quote] If you had a spare grand you wouldn't have to do any ripping, I'd just give it to you [quote name='Golchen' post='485636' date='May 12 2009, 09:41 AM']Awesome looking bass and a great price![/quote] I did negotiate pretty hard when I bought it so just passing on the fruits of my labours to my chums here at BC
  12. [quote name='Larmer' post='485389' date='May 11 2009, 10:26 PM']Overseas shipping? I have a sunburst Ex-Factor and would love to own another one. If I'm not mistaken, the regular Factors have 34" instead of the 32" of the Ex-Factor.[/quote] Yep - the Key factor is a 34" very nice bass to play, super slim neck & buckets of versatility!
  13. I've offered this to a fellow BC'er at £895 and thought I ought to extend this price to anyone else who might be interested. It won't go any lower than this though as anything more would be a bit crazy & I'll just hang on to it as I'm not that desperate for cash Not looking for trades on anything I'm afraid.
  14. Cheers Dave - I thought they were for a 4 Just spotted the 'cable guru, is it you' tag
  15. [quote name='obbm' post='483063' date='May 8 2009, 04:31 PM']Minimal use. £55 posted.[/quote] Are these 4 string or 5 string Dave? Or maybe both
  16. [quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='483907' date='May 9 2009, 06:31 PM']Had to downsize as our bands had to get rid of our van! Jake[/quote] Isn't that what your mum's car is for though
  17. I have one of these and really like it In case anyone is interested those rack ears come off very easily and it fits nicely into a gig bag
  18. [quote name='Marcus' post='484480' date='May 10 2009, 06:55 PM']..... but i'm a one bass boy now !!![/quote] Laugh - I nearly fell off me chair. . .
  19. Some other pics I found lying around Not taken by me I'm afraid (he said trying to make excuses for the slightly odd framing!) Hopefully they show that it looks totally unplayed with not a mark anywhere on the front or back of the body (the white specks on the last pic are from a cleaning cloth I think).
  20. This is a particularly nice Overwater Perception that I bought earlier this year but it's kinda 'surplus to requirements' now that I've become a bit of a Spector freak & it seems a shame that it's not being played. I think it's just over a year old & originally cost a shade under £2K - the Pro Deluxe model is currently listing at £1,995 so you could save over £1,000 on the new price for a bass that genuinely looks like it's just left the shop It has a beautiful cocobola top which helps to give it a really 'dark' growly tone. Lots of flexibility from the 3 band on-board pre as well. Nice low action with 19mm spacing and a 35" scale for a really tight B sound. Nick (oldhorsemurphy) currently has this on loan so happy for anyone to ask his opinion of it - especially as I know he's used it in a band situation & I've only played it at home plus one quiet rehearsal. Product Specifications are: Body: Central American Mahogany Top/Colour: Cocobolo Neck: 3 Piece Maple Fretboard: Indian Rosewood Bridge: OW Bridge Machineheads: Gotoh Pick Ups: OW5 Soapbar Preamp: OW 3 Band EQ Here's the pics from Overwater's site:
  21. [quote name='OldGit' post='483099' date='May 8 2009, 04:49 PM']A pub gig, £250 AND a free beer? That's outstanding.[/quote] Actually I think it might have been £300 as some cash was kept back towards rehearsal costs, lol. The staff were super friendly and said we were much better than their usual bands, they said they'd tell the manager to book us again Not sure how happy our male lead singer was as he plays at the same place with a different outfit
  22. [quote name='OldGit' post='482763' date='May 8 2009, 10:26 AM']Ha ha there speaks a man used to playing functions.... £250 is great money for a pub band ....[/quote] Too true, lol. Actually I really enjoy playing in pubs. We tipped up last night about 7:15 and all set up by 8:00. First beer on the house from the management & on stage by 9:00. First set about 45 mins, 15 min break & back for about an hour. Then packed up & out the door before 12:00. Last wedding I played payed out 4 times as much but we had to be there by 12 lunchtime and couldn't even start packing until gone midnight.
  23. Great news. You'll have to keep us posted when the gigs start
  24. Played a fun gig this evening for which we were paid the princely sum of £250. This was shared between 8 of us (7 in the band plus the ever attentive sound man) and we held some back towards the rehearsal kitty. I bought a, small, round for a couple of the band plus an after gig beer for myself & worked out I had the net figure of about a fiver for the night. I have to say that this doesn't really bother me a bit, it really was a fun evening and I can't imagine a better way to spend a dull Thursday than with some really good friends playing music for an appreciative audience
  25. Bought an EBS pedal from Lee - super easy to deal with and a really nice chap Pedal looks like new
