  1. I have a Rev Solo 2 that I recently bought from PaulKing but which, TBH, doesn't sound any better on my Kolstein than the Planet Wing which was already installed. You are welcome to borrow that if interested, Laurence? Would be end of next week as I'm typing this out of the country and not back in blighty until Tuesday.
  2. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1333655836' post='1605021'] Dude, buy Emlyn's bass, however you do this it's going to be a leap of faith to an extent. You're welcome to come down here and play my GF (that's German Flatback not Girl Friend) any time. OK, it won't be the same for sure, but it might provide a comparison? C [/quote] Cheers Chris, I have been in contact with Emlyn and we'll see what happens
  3. Bump. £100 discount to any BCer that I have done previous business with as I have found the DB I am after and need to replenish the coffers
  4. I am hugely tempted by Emlyn's c1880 German bass but just wanted to check if there's anything else out there that fits my criteria ... And budget of no more than £3k!!!
  5. Sounds lovely in the clips, Emlyn. Would it come with a case or gig bag and is this cash sale only (ie, no trades )?
  6. Thanks 4 Candles. Its a beauty but I barely play 5 string and I'd like a nice old DB more
  7. Fair point about Squiers and different market ... But I am guessing Bob Babbitt has influenced many more than Pino Palladino for example and didn't Fender CS recently launcha limited ed signature in skuzzy black for some bassist I for one had never heard of?
  8. It pretty much exactly fulfills my criteria in the search I have on BC but the distance is tricky. hence I'm really looking forward to the YouTube footage Emlyn
  9. Thanks again Jack. And a bump from me too
  10. Potentially interested. I am out of country right now but are you down in London again any time soon?
  11. I had the maple Spoiler wjich I sold to Deaver beacuse I was in a punk band and they thought it looked tOo poncey and muso (but it was fabulous). I then got the black Spoiler which was punk-acceptable and looked rock (I am a big metallica fan) but unofortunately weighed close to 12 pounds and my back couldn't cope with it. I have had a search going on the Alembic Club forum for a lighter black Spoiler for six months now with no joy.
  12. Acoustic Image head now on hold so Markbass withdrawn
  13. My favourite Alembics of the 4 I have owned (Series 1, 2 x Spoilers, Europa 5'er) were the less complex Spoilers. The electronics were not so scary, the build quality still top notch (albeit without the fancy marquetry) and the sound covered from Stanley Clarke through to Metallica. You can get Spoilers s/h for about $2-2.5k and if you don't like, sell on for about the same. To me a low risk way of trying out the Alembic experience. I wish I still had a Spoiler
  14. Hi Martin, if I can be cheeky - here is Jack's photo album of the bass, done not long before I bought it (the bass is in the same excellent condition now) http://m1128.photobucket.com/albums/h4ppyjack/Alleva%20Coppolo%20KBP5%202009%20CURRENT/?sa=true
  15. [quote name='Jack Cahalane' timestamp='1333296748' post='1599679'] You know Pete Wentz has one too don't you? [/quote] [attachment=103903:scream-16_6155.jpg]
  16. To me this is the perfect pop song. Short, sweet melody, perfectly performed and utterly, utterly memorable and evocative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTfwcLdP5Xk
  17. Perhaps thats due to it being a sunny day and your question being longer than Dostoyevsky's finest? FWIW, I think you really want the Tokai and you just want us all to agree with that! Go for it I say
  18. hi, did this sell? PM'd
  19. For anyone interested here, please note I won't be able to post until some time after the Easter bank holiday
  20. Thanks Jake. Keep 'em coming folks, preferably no more than £3k Please note I will be out of the country for a week or so from tomorrow but will receive BC email notifications/messages on my Blackberry

    [quote name='munkonthehill' timestamp='1333286109' post='1599538'] A don't get it. Whats the bass and what's wrong with it? I know it's April the 1st so no need to remind me of that aspect. [/quote] Wayne's two greatest hates on a bass: sunburst and fanned frets Its a joke
