[quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='180483' date='Apr 19 2008, 02:07 PM']Do my eyes deceive me or is the Ibanez a 7 string?[/quote] Yep. Can't play it No problems with 5,6,7 string basses, but I just didn't get on with the guitar. I can't make my hands move in small increments, if you get what i mean. it's like trying to play a ukelele to me......

[quote name='thedonutman' post='180459' date='Apr 19 2008, 01:35 PM']Whereabouts are you? I have a friend who is looking to buy an UV.[/quote] I'm near Buckingham, MK18 if you're after collection. Willing to travel reasonable distances depending on the offer Happy to courier though.

[quote name='Maximus' post='180430' date='Apr 19 2008, 12:46 PM']Well I ordered a Pick up and bridge cover from some site in spain, it turns out they didn't have the bridge cover so they offered to cancel the order but I went ahead and bought the pickup cover on it's own, so I just went on ebay and found the complete set so I got that. Now I need to sell one of the pickup covers I believe it's a genuine Fender part aswell. Looking for £10 shipped.[/quote] The square precision one, or the curved jazz one?

Indie IJR765 "Dragon". One of 150 or 75 depending on who you ask. Open to offers.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='179337' date='Apr 17 2008, 10:39 PM']The dot markers are gobsmackingly stupid[/quote] My old Yamaha BB was the same but that was lined, and my Columbus jazz is the same. it confuses me sometimes, i guess it depends what you're used to and what you use as a guide. Didn't know stingrays were different. I forgot to mention the rosewood nuts! I've got one on a Columbus EB-3 copy and it's lasted 30 odd years but they do look a bit fragile.... Certainly an honest listing. I've had a punt as promised and will keep an eye. Hope you get what you want.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='179196' date='Apr 17 2008, 07:29 PM']OK well I've had time to calm down, think I'm going to be a bit more rational about the eBay listing. It's currently 7 hefty paragraphs of pretty nasty language but I think I've got it out of my system now! I think 5 months of fury at these bastards has got the better of me.[/quote] Lol. It's a shame, really. I know they were just rebranding chinese stuff but I really do love mine and I know there are other happy customers. They could have had a good thing going.

[quote name='rob_89' post='179123' date='Apr 17 2008, 06:28 PM']would you do the amp for 30 quid?[/quote] which is what i got for the one i just sold....

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='178790' date='Apr 17 2008, 01:14 PM']The saddles are quite cool and the tuners look like the ones on my old Godin, so maybe someone will want them. [/quote] My one "regret" with the 7 string is that is has an all in one rosewood bridge, rather than 7 individual saddles like that one. But I don't think i've intonated a bass in my life.... Well let us know when it's up. I'm really not a fretless player, but I will definently have a punt. I only have two 4 string fretless basses, I might need the extra strings or something....

Are you still putting it on ebay if you're not selling it here? Aside from cosmetics, is it really that bad?

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='178685' date='Apr 17 2008, 11:25 AM']Well I'm going to stick it on eBay and list it honestly, see what it goes for. God only knows I don't want it. If nothing else I'll have fun writing the listing. [/quote] I'd be in for the raffle. Either way, i might still have a bid on ebay... I can't afford what you want, and I don't want to take the piss, but if it honestly plays okay then I'll bid....

The finishing around the jack socket has been picked up by everyone I've spoken to who has one. The fretted sequoias had humbuckers with exposed poles, so maybe you've just got a fretless version of that. All of my fretless basses have the dots in between the "frets" rather than at the note position, so I wouldn't say that was an "error" If you catch mine in the right light you can see a few spots under the laquer that look like dust settled before it was finished, but you do have to look for them. I agree on the size of the neck, but I like that. I think I got lucky. The other guy I know who got a 7 string had a problem with his high F, in that the whole string was dead or buzzing!. I do intend to fully review mine, but this week hasn't gone to plan. Very happy with both of mine. I'm sure you'll sell it. When I was after a cheap 6 I was looking at the Shine basses and the ones from Thomann. I'd have snapped this up for that price.

Glad to hear it's finally coming If it's anything like my two H&S basses, it will in fact be a very nice bass, so I hope no one writes it off because of the company. I'm too far from York and I'd probably get lynched for buying another, but www.senditnow.com will ship it for £13.99 guarenteed noon next day. Used them dozens of times.

[quote name='uzzell' post='176577' date='Apr 14 2008, 07:23 PM']Right then everyone, as a result of me sellin this on behalve of a mate and not actually knowing anything about it[/quote] So was your opening spiel about being a precision player you or your mate talking? Whereabouts are you for collection?
