Nice one - I can get to Redditch in 20 - 30 mins, so we should be able to work something out. Once you've got it, can you do the 'donate' thing for £100.01 on here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1708"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1708[/url] Then everyone's happy! You get a new (old) bass, the mods get a few bob towards the running costs of the site, and I get less ear ache from the wife for having too many basses lying around. All together now "Why have you got so many? You can only play one at a time....." Cheers Mark.

hehe - you're a bad man, tayste! Winning bid was £100.01, I believe. Email me you details ([email protected]), and we'll sort it out. You're not anywhere near Warwick or the surrounding area are you? I don't have a case or bag for it, so would prefer a meet up if at all possible. Mark.

Unashamed bump to get this to the top of the Buy & Sell section! Just 2 hours to go Mark

Thanks for the info, Musky - I've wondered for a while about the history of it. £100 is the top bid so far (cheers Shaggy) - I'll call it a day at 8pm tomorrow (Wed) evening. Who's the best person for me to contact re: donating the money? Ta Mark.

[quote name='parker_muse' post='42196' date='Aug 6 2007, 09:59 PM']Yeah, its about 11, i was squinting, glasses are in the opitions. Dad sat on them! Oh well, i'll get pics up tommorow. It doesn't really look different to any other VMJ's though:P Any offers though?[/quote] Basspod and a few quid my end any good to you? Mark.

Having a bit of a clear out, and came across an old early 70's Japanese Epiphone bass. It's identical to this one: - [url="http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetails.aspx?Item=1513247"]http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetai...px?Item=1513247[/url] Just plugged it in, and it works perfectly. I lent it to my 13 year old nephew, who was learning the bass, and got it back a year later with significantly more dinks and chips than it had when I lent it to him (the little sh1t). If I was a salesman, I'd call these chips "mojo" and charge double The majority of the dinks are on the top and bottom edge (thru to the bare wood on the bottom in a patch about the size of a 10p), however the neck is nice & straight, and it had a cool plummy Epiphone bass tone. It's shorter scale than my Fenders, and plays well. Here's the deal - I've met some cool people through Basschat (and before that Bassworld) over the last 12 months, and it's reignited my passion for bass playing. I figure it's time to put a little something back. Therefore, all proceeds from the sale of this will go straight to Basschat as a donation - I'll just cover the cost of courier-ing it to whoever wants it. If you're local to Leamington / Warwick / Banbury, we can probably meet up and save the postage. Not sure how this should work - maybe I'll leave this on here until (say) 8pm on Wednesday this week (8th), and the highest bidder takes it. How does that sound? Cheers Mark.

That looks really nice (and I'm not usually a big fan of Status basses). What does it sound like?

Just sent you a PM mate. Mark.

You after any trades? Bass Pod XT & a few quid for the fretless? Not far from you in Warwick... Mark.

Hi Eddy It's this one: - [url="http://uk.line6.com/basspodxt/"]http://uk.line6.com/basspodxt/[/url] Cheers Mark.

Hi all Looking to move on my Bass Pod XT. It's boxed, in excellent nick, and comes with all the cables, manuals etc. £130 or will swap for something else music related (possibly even one of those strange 6 string geeetar thingys). Actually, I'll swap it for anything gadget like that you may have lying around! Anyone got anything gathering dust? Mark.

Hi again Take a look at the following cheap airlines. Birmingham airport is 30 mins from me - Coventry airport is about 20 mins, so take your pick: - www.thomsonfly.com www.bmibaby.com www.flymonarch.com All are showing return flights for less than £50, which will still work out cheaper than posting it! Let me know what dates you've got in mind. Cheers Mark.

Right - I've done some investigation regarding sending the bass to Portugal, and it works out as follows: - 1. The bass must be packed in a hard case, otherwise insurance is invalid. Let's say £35 for a 2nd hand hard case. 2. The postage is in the region of £60 (based on 2 replies I've had from couriers so far) So, we're already talking £95 on top of the price, plus there's still the danger it'll get damaged in transit. A cheaper and safer alternative is that a number of budget airlines in the UK offer return flights from Portugal to Birmingham for £50. Hop on a plane, bring cash, I'll meet you at Birmingham airport with the bass, buy you a beer, we do the swap, and you fly home safe in the knowledge that you're looking after it, and not some hairy postal worker! I'm about 30 mins from Birmingham airport, but will happily take a couple of hours off to meet up there, if that helps. It just seems a little expensive if we go the courier route. Let me know, Mark.
