  1. [s]£800[/s] [s]£750[/s] [s]£700[/s] [b]Now £650[/b] Please don't [i]make[/i] me Ebay it!
  2. Withdrawn due to lack of interest. Now on Ebay.
  3. [quote name='wesfinn' post='974613' date='Oct 1 2010, 09:08 PM']lovely chaser. having made plenty of these while working for Mike and having owned a couple myself I can vouch that they are superb all round basses and they definitly deserved the bass of the year award which they won from guitar buyer. They do the stingray sound fantastically well but are also very versatile. though slightly chunkier than a Jazz bass at the nut they are very fast and slim feeling so I wouldn't be put off if you have smaller hands! good luck with the sale[/quote] Said like a true professional
  4. [quote name='Netballman' post='973633' date='Oct 1 2010, 09:56 AM']Oooo...... But no I must be strong. I need to stay alive for the sake of my children (i.e. my wife would kill me) Nice though [/quote] Thanks! Bump again.
  5. Bump! Can't believe this still here! The first ever Chaser
  6. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='971620' date='Sep 29 2010, 12:34 PM']And now "[b]On Hold[/b]" for a fellow BC'er.[/quote] Now no longer on hold. Buyer didn't want through body strung. Still availiable.
  7. Thanks for the up, BT! Bump for a price reduction to [b]£325[/b]
  8. Another of the collection needs to be moved on. It's not getting the use it should anymore, and the GAS, she is a-striking! [attachment=60147:P1030885.JPG] An Ibanez SRX700. No longer made, but a relative of the DWB model (albeit with different EQ and woods) In summary; 34" Scale 24 Frets Nylon nut 5 piece Walnut/Maple Through-neck. 2 More Walnut stripes either side of the main neck assembly before the Ash wings begin 2 Band Active EQ (9v) Bass and Treble cut & Boost. The other two controls are Master Volume and Pick-up Pan. 2 open-pole humbucking pick-ups. (Ibanez' own) Nickel-coloured hardware which is showing discolouration in places. (Tuners and Bridge- See photos for detail) Skinny Ibanez neck- 38mm @ Nut, 65mm @ base of neck but still 19mm string spacing. Bridge allows regular top-loading and a sort of "under-top" stringing, in which the ball ends slot into a cavity in the body rather than being strictly "Thru-body". Not sure it makes much difference, really! Regular 34" strings still fit easily. It's been rehearsed with and gigged with, but has no cosmetic or structural damage to the body. I make sure the rivets on my jeans are covered by a T-shirt, or I wear trousers that don't have them. I never wear belts (or braces!) so the back stays rash-free. Only mod is the addition of Schaller straplock buttons. Enough of my jabbering. Lookee at de pictures. [attachment=60148:P1030894.JPG] [attachment=60149:P1030897.JPG] Detail of bridge showing the "under-top" string loading and discolouration. [attachment=60150:P1030903.JPG] [attachment=60151:P1030887.JPG] Detail of tuner, showing discolouration. [attachment=60152:P1030899.JPG] I don't have a hard case for this, but can put it in a (non-padded) vinyl gigbag. I won't post or ship this bass, so we'll have to meet at a mutually acceptable location (within reason) I'm based in central Essex. I'm looking for [b][s]£375[/s][/b] [b]Price drop to £325[/b] Thanks for looking. Any questions, feel free to PM me. I visit the site daily, and will try to respond as promptly as I can. Alex.
  9. And now "[b]On Hold[/b]" for a fellow BC'er.
  10. Bump for a Price Drop. [s]£800[/s] Now[b] £750[/b] Alex.
  11. [quote name='fragglefart' post='970224' date='Sep 27 2010, 11:53 PM']...Only options you don't have is HB&J or HB&P&J simultaneously.[/quote] But they'd be the ones that I'd want most! Esp. HB+P+J!
  12. Can deliver personally to Cardiff too! Family is based in Roath.
  13. A few measurements and an omission; It's 34" scale Brass nut. Width at nut: 40mm Depth at nut: approx 25mm Width at base of neck: 70mm String Spacing: 19mm
  14. Slim (and fast!) vaguely Fender Jazz sized, but broader at the nut (less of a taper). The fretboard is flat.
  15. [attachment=59984:P1030861.JPG] For Sale: The First Zoot Chaser. Hand-made by Mike Walsh (Iceni Music) Specs as follows; 2 piece Maple cap over 3 piece Ash back with Purpleheart accent stripe Bolt-on 1 Piece Hard Maple Neck with 24fret Rosewood fretboard. Truss-rod adjustment at headstock end. 1 Seymour Duncan Basslines Musicman-style Humbucker in a mid position. 3 band East E-pro EQ using 18v power Controls; Master volume (pull up for series, down for parallel switching), Passive tone, Bass, Treble, Bright. Switch determines active/passive operation. String through body. Proprietary Iceni music designed bridge (chrome-plated brass saddles) Gotoh machine heads. Schaller strap buttons. The (satin) varnish has a small impact mark on the upper edge of the top horn, which was there when I bought it from Mike. Camera wont really pick it up, I'm afraid. I Guess the pictures say the rest; [attachment=59985:P1030851.JPG][attachment=59986:P1030852.JPG][attachment=59988:P1030853.JPG] [attachment=59990:P1030854.JPG][attachment=59991:P1030855.JPG][attachment=59992:P1030856.JPG][attach ment=59993:P1030857.JPG][attachment=59994:P1030858.JPG][attachment=59995:P1030859.JPG][attachment=59 9 96:P1030860.JPG] Tone-wise, it very much apes the Stingray sound, but is both punchier and more refined. I don't have a hard case for it, but will include the Protection Racket bag it came in. Edit: [b]SOLD[/b]
  16. [quote name='danny-79' post='968577' date='Sep 26 2010, 05:31 PM'] What will they think of next lol[/quote] Depleted uranium frets. They'll make YOU glow in the dark!
  17. [quote name='Toasted' post='959185' date='Sep 17 2010, 10:18 AM']I don't take drugs, but if taking drugs makes you feel as good as I feel when I get off stage with my band I can see why people take drugs.[/quote] +1. I can relate to this. Never taken drugs. Doubt I ever will. No matter what else happened before, a good gig erases all the preceding aggro. Then it stops. And you're faced with that empty feeling whilst driving home. If you did it frequently/professionally I can see how the cycle of stress/release/buzz/emptiness would cause a need to smooth the transition and ease the boredom (especially when touring)
  18. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='967386' date='Sep 25 2010, 10:51 AM']Ulrika Jonsson[/quote] I think that might just be bordering on (accidental) genius!
  19. The FatBeams and Sunbeams I regularly use are among the longest lasting uncoated strings I've used. I had a set of Warwick EMPs do this once. I am quite wary of coated strings, although I find Elixirs fine (except on phenolic fretboards)
  20. The Sheehan Neck HB and P mid. Doesn't sound great alone, but great in a band setting. Especially live. Warwicks J/JJ as seen in Dolphin/Infinity/Vampyre etc. As long as the JJ is tapped.
  21. Never tried DR coated strings before. Are they based on any of their non-coated strings (Fat/Hi/Sun beams or Lo-Riders etc)? If they exhibit wear like Elixirs do, expect fluffy flozzy strings after a while as they fray. If the coating flakes off, it's going to look great under UV all over your trousers! I suppose they do look good on the right bass, but unless you keep your strings very clean, I reckon they'll start to look speckled with dirt after a while. [i]....thinks....[/i] Interesting alternative to LEDs in a dark environment, though- provided you can bathe yourself in UV light. And don't suffer from dandruff/flaky scalp! Imagine how funny they'd look in an orchestra pit!
  22. I tried one yesterday. Very light, but well made when you consider it was £265. The VT/VT controls do offer a good deal of variety, but they're all variations on a theme. Neck and fretwork were very good. Squier seem to have got this right with the VMs and CVs.
  23. The 4HH I tried was really good. Well, I thought it was...
