  1. Looks like this may be on hold
  2. Bought recently from Andy Baxter and am only selling this lightweight characterful little bass so I can afford the Wilcock Mullarkey that's for sale on the forum - if that goes then this lovely bass will be withdrawn. If collected, it's a public space in SW13 London (Barnes, south of perma-closed Hammersmith Bridge). Otherwise delivery at cost but I will need to source a box first, which will take a few days. Here is blurb from Andy Baxter ad: 2022 Serek "The Grand" in Spumoni Foam Green with cherry pink stripes and a wenge fingerboard. This came from batch #4 which was released in 2022. Serial number: GRD-040. It's in near-mint condition with just a couple of very tiny marks and is supplied with its original Serek gig bag. "The Grand" is a short-scale (30.5″) bass with a bolt-on roasted maple neck. It has Hipshot USA hardware and a TV Jones Thunder’Blade pickup. It has 1 volume and a 3-way switch. With the switch in the centre position the tone is full / towards the bridge its off and up towards the neck engages the fuzz circuit. Fully set up in our workshop with low action. Strung with La Bella low-tension flats. From the Serek site “What can I say about the Grand? I could tell you that it’s probably the coolest short-scale bass we’ve built yet… I could mention the magic of the passive on-board Serek “Skuzz Serkit” and TV Jones Thunder’Blade pickup. Maybe you’d want to hear tales of roasted maple necks and racing stripes and Hipshot hardware? Or maybe you could just experience it for yourself…” Model: The Grand Nut Width: 1 5/8″ Nut Type: Bone Scale Length: 30.5″ Frets: 21 Med/Narrow Nickel Fingerboard Radius: 12″ Fingerboard: Wenge Body Wood: Alder Neck Wood: Roasted Maple Weight: 7 lbs. Tuners: Hipshot Licensed Ultralite Bridge: Hipshot USA Vintage Style Bridge Pickups: TV Jones Thunder’Blade Humbucker Controls: Vol, 3-way (Skuzz Serkit, Open, Tone Rolled Off) Finish: Satin Spumoni Foam Green w/ Cherry Pink Stripes Pickguard: Decoboom custom engraved Polka Dot pickguard, Black/Cherry Pink Case: Custom Heavy-Duty Gig Bag And link with tons of better pics than I could ever manage: https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/serek-the-grand-foam-green-from-batch-4-2022
  3. Pet Shop Boys at Royal Opera House tonight. What a fantastic back catalogue of great pop songs and a tremendous show. And errrr not a bass guitar in sight!

  4. Sadly I don't have the trade you are after and I would have to move on my Serek 'The Grand' to pay for your lovely bass. So please take this as a bump from me and GLWYS!
  5. Well those Gibson Gene Simmons EB-0s are not exactly flying off the shelf. This one had an £1800 price cut!
  6. Way too much dosh for me, Jon! Plus I prefer short scale these days. I do wonder how many of these will actually be gigged at the Dog and Duck, rather than just end up as collectors items
  7. "20-25% reduction off retail for literally a couple of hours use" type bump!
  8. "The only reason I'm selling is because I need the funds for a different type of bass" What type of bass are you after, if you don't mind me asking, and does this mean trades are an option?
  9. Orange TB Mk 1 in custom sleeve, made by @2x18, on top of OBC112cab.

    Will just sold his custom Orange TB sleeve to me. Flawless transaction! Many thanks!
  11. Bought to pair with a Markbass 121P combo but it's never left the house as combo is loud! Probably only a couple of hours play time, not even broken in, and in as new condition. Specs: https://www.markbass.it/product/new-york-121/ These retail for £399-439 at the usual suspects, so £300 (plus post) seems good value to me, for an essentially as new cab. Collection SW13 in a public space or posted UK for £20 on top. Stock pic:

    Just bought a nice Orange cab off Brian. Well packed, arrived swiftly, great condition, exactly as described. Top stuff! Many thanks from Clarky
  13. I had ordered exact same specs last year from Viv Wilcock but had to cancel order six months ago due to some unexpected large medical bills. Now I am beyond those bills, I recently paid for a Serek shortie but would have jumped on this had it been a few weeks earlier. Timing is everything! GLWYS!!!!
  14. Forgot to say, price includes 48 hour economy delivery within UK (if collected, knock off £25 from the price, making it £1,325)
  15. One of my two Ricks needs to go and my all original '73 4000 isn't attracting much interest (edit: I have decided to withdraw it). So up this goes at a bargain price of £1350, to include bass, tatty but functional gigbag and a box of spare pickups plus original wiring loom. Yes, it's a bit of a trigger's broom but it's cool AF (no worries about dinging this!), lightweight and sounds great!
  16. BassDirect has a '90s Korean one in stock for £299. Sounds like a bargain https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/danelectro-dl58bk-58-longhorn-short-scale-bass-black-pre-owned/
  17. Howabout Charlie Haden's gorgeous but very simple solo in Moon Song? Starts 10 or 20 seconds after the minute mark here
  18. Very Sweet Home Alabama vibe to opening guitar lines ...
  19. How about "Texas Hold em" by Beyonce? Country vibe, released relatively recently (so likely to be played on radio) and mentions a State (albeit not a country) in the title
  20. Another near identical (same year) jetglo 4000, playing some Joy Division
