Nah Jim, mine is a cherry sunburst quilted maple top, from 2004-2005, a bit before the Walnut models, it's in my Photos on Facebook, you even gave it a thumbs up Jim.

Belonged to richardd' before me ... does anybody have it now??...

Would make a great 4s/5s pair !![/quote]


Yep, with me at the moment, great bass, love it.

Mike

No it's a 4 , the pic is a bit out of focus.

I'm in the process of saving and flogging off , to get a yellow Status.

Headed 4 string Stealth - black hardware - and all yellow . I mean everything .
One piece graphite bass - spray the lot - even pick ups .
Will cost a bit more (so Rob informed me a few years ago , and I got the impression that he wasn't too keen)
Just thought it'll be a bit different , though after watching an old Top Gear , where they had 3 supercars on a road trip (yellow , orange and green) , any of these colours may also be different .
Any of these 3 colours would be great and they're the same as on my kid's duplo (lego) bricks .
Yeah yellow - bring it on [/quote]


Like this I suppose.....

[quote name='karlthebassist' post='685449' date='Dec 15 2009, 05:22 PM']Whats the RMS rating and impedence of the cabs please?[/quote]


Did all of this sell Bill?

Mike

Aside from the sterling advice already given, the only nugget I would offer would be to check, if you don't already know, if the person booking you is actually going to be there for the event. Have had experiences in the past of being booked for a corporate event by someone that works for the company, then find they've taken the day off/ been on a course all day so aren't in attendance and then having the half time dress down and the cries of " do you do any ABBA?"

But if you go out and try to entertain the suits, you should be fine.

Mike

Best of luck with the sale mate. Nick is one of the nicest chaps you could buy a bass from so buy with confidence people. For those in the know, this is Nick Owen, legendary salesperson from The Bass Centre and a thoroughly good egg.

All the best,
Mike

Good luck with the sale Gaf, a fine chap and a pair of decent basses. Bizarrely, when I bought the Aria, the seller said it was an Elite II but when I ran it past some Aria fans who know their stuff, I was told it was an R-80 although I think I've read somewhere that the two models are virtually the same instrument.....weird!

All the best mate.

Mike

He loves me really Nick, no worries.

Pics at some point, got too much going on gig-wise and workwise generally so it'll have to wait.

1 sense of humour for Russ please.

You Rumour is still heavy tho...................

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='582159' date='Aug 27 2009, 08:52 AM']Mr Mike B - I see one slipped through the net and has made it's way to you before going up to the Midlands... so... come on, some new pics [/quote]

What do you mean 'before going up to the Midlands', it won't be going up there, not in my lifetime anyway.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='579951' date='Aug 25 2009, 10:41 AM']You see. All the Allevas (and GBs) come home to the midlands in the end...[/quote]

Yet again Russ, you get it so wrong......

Sold Today, thanks for all the interest. Gafbass02 is the new owner, enjoy!!!

Mike

As is the album that came after it, "Go On"

Mike

Any takers?

Bump

Just sold a scratchplate to Keir, nice guy and easy to do business with. Big thumbs up from me.

[quote name='Dom in Somerset' post='543859' date='Jul 18 2009, 11:01 AM']I love depping! I like the challenge of learning all this new stuff at short notice, without all the politics of being "in" the band.
Don't wory about the punters, or the full time band members, just concentrate on being better than their usual bass player! :brow:[/quote]

You obviously don't rely on their bass player for much work then...?

Mike

Friday morning bump....something for the weekend sir?!?

Monday morning bump

Saturday morning bump
