I've looked at this a few times and it doesn't look like Martin's best work. I can't imagine him wanting to hack a hole in that beautiful top & then plonking a chromed control plate on top of it! Have to assume it was specced by Paul Turner?

[quote name='4 candles' post='374287' date='Jan 8 2009, 06:16 PM']Im looking for offers over £1250 regards Mark[/quote] [quote name='4 candles' post='401393' date='Feb 5 2009, 07:24 PM']Yes indeedie, For £1500 pounds or I may consider trades/cash for something fretless with 4 strings Thanks for the interest[/quote] Not trying to be difficult but, unless I'm reading the posts incorrectly then this bass looks like it's gone up in price by £250 in the past month?

Picked this up fairly recently and really love it. Excellent core sound and simple to use without lots of flashing lights & sliders to fiddle with. Surprising combination of sounds available and all of them are good! The blue front also looks really cool I'm only selling this as I've decided not to run a rack set-up and spotted a smaller Epifani head for sale. Unlike some rack units this does have small rubber feet so it can be used free-standing if required. It's in perfect condition, doesn't even have any marks on the top from having been racked previously etc. Only change from a completely stock model is that the control knobs have been finished in black with small white dots to indicate position. Standard PS600 has completely chromed knobs and position markers which means the damn things are invisible on stage! This work has been very well finished and looks totally professional. For those of you who don't know much about these it was awarded a Bass Player magazine Editor's Award with the summary: [i]the 600 was tinged with a golden midrange, plush-but-controlled lows, and a serene, lacy top. I never wanted for more power, and the transient response and grunt were excellent. The 600 was exceptionally pleasant sounding—it almost seemed as if the preamp filtered out harsh frequencies, leaving only buttery, smooth tone. The EQ, though limited, worked fine, but I barely touched it. If you’re a slapper who digs the scoopy thing, the mid-cut feature, with its variable level control, is for you. I tended to favor a flat tone. The 600 was clear and delicate sounding, but not wimpy. It may not be the ideal amp for gritty rock tone, but for everything else, its elegant and refined sound is among the best in bass.[/i] More details on the Epifani site : [url="http://www.epifani.com/products/ps_600.php"]http://www.epifani.com/products/ps_600.php[/url] I've added a pic of a stock head as mine looks identical apart from the chrome knobs I'm looking for £550 which I think is a good price considering it's in perfect condition and that they list at £1,030 new at The Gallery. Based in Henley, Oxfordshire but happy to ship (at extra cost) if required.

Just received this interesting little beauty from Barcelona. I'm told it's an early '90's S2 and the wood is Nogal (a type of walnut). Really hard to get good pics of it as it has a high gloss finish which is causing havoc with my flash! The shot of the rear probably gives the best impression of the wood colours. I'll see if I can get some better pics at the weekend in natural light

So who beat me to the punch on this one eh? As there are some obvious Sei Flamboyant fans here I thought you might like to know there's a nice looking 6'er on EBay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sei-Flamboyant-6-String-Bass-Custom_W0QQitemZ120373980590QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item120373980590&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sei-Flamboyant-6-Str...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url] Also a really gorgeous choice of woods. . .

I posted this on the Overwater section but no responses so I thought I'd open it up to a wider audience I wondered what the general differences were between the NT Progress and the BO Perception in terms of body shape, weight, core sounds etc. They look pretty similar to me but I haven't seen either up close!

[quote name='aceuggy' post='399270' date='Feb 3 2009, 06:59 PM']I remember it well Mr M! Actually this gives me an excuse to post a pic of my H-D. Just sold it and now the proud owner of a Triumph Speed Triple! [/quote] I will always think of you as a "Fat Boy" Uggy

[quote name='OldGit' post='399160' date='Feb 3 2009, 05:15 PM']That's a tad more subtle than I expected .... or does it have a black on black flamed paint job??[/quote] It's all matt black with a matt silver frame. Previously I owned I full on 'tart's handbag' in flip/flop blue & purple with silver flashes & dripping with chrome everywhere

[quote name='Platypus' post='399023' date='Feb 3 2009, 03:12 PM']Called the O2 Empire (020 8354 3300 ) earlier and they said the show was definitely on tonight They said Chaka should be on stage about 9:00[/quote] Excellent - I tried calling but just got held in a Q for ages. Shows have to finish at 11:00 I think so should be a decent couple of hours.

Haven't heard anything and transport seems much better today so hopefully everything will be all ok for tonight. On a train at the moment listening to the live album again - very loud through some 'bass friendly' 'phones - Gouche is just great accompaniment for a snowy journey

[quote name='High score' post='398702' date='Feb 3 2009, 10:56 AM']Jesus, must be a 'Blues' engine - 60 bpm Love it.........want it............now where did I leave my total loss lubricated Triumph Bonnie.......... Obviously your baby, which is cool, but Harley extras not cheap so what has it cost you over the years?[/quote] I'm afraid almost all of the work was carried out before I took ownership Previous owner spent a frightening £24K in total (including the cost of the original bike). Over £13K was the engine & gearbox build alone! Poor guy did all the work including a complete nut 'n' bolt rebuild, rode it about 5K miles and was diagnosed with a long term back problem which means he can't ride bikes with such a raked out shape. He traded wwith me for my, more conventional, riding position HD. He's put pretty much the same engine set up in that one as well now Cost me about £12.5K I guess - bit complicated as it was a PX against my old HD.

[quote name='ogri' post='398678' date='Feb 3 2009, 10:34 AM']lordy!!! gruntosaurus rex!! nice... [/quote] S&S 124" engine, Baker 6 speed box, Primo belt drive, Progressive air suspension (which means handling isn't bad for an HD). Fairly 'mild' state of tune for such a big engine - probably around 120 bhp & a similar torque figure. Means it has plenty of grunt without being too temperamental

[quote name='OldGit' post='398659' date='Feb 3 2009, 10:17 AM']Ohh pics please [/quote] It's changed a bit since these (only really obvious thing is a lower leather seat) but these give you an idea anyway

Hoping this will still be on - some London venues closed on Monday night so not sure what will happen on Tuesday

So are you saying that you don't have your very own Mitzi or just that she doesn't 'put out' any more? I'm also 49, play bass & ride bikes I've got some copies of Bike Mag going back to '75 / '76 when I was a huge fan of Ogri. Stopped buying it for years but on a subscription again these days. Down to 3 bikes now - '06 BMW K1200GT / '07 Suzuki GSXR 1000 / '00 Harley based chop with a 2.1 litre engine but ride about 400 miles a week through out the year (but not today!).
