Flippin eck- bargain! I beat V&R down from £1850 (I think) to £1600, ended up selling at my usual loss for £1300 and not much more than a year later and still in fabulous nick £1100. Someone snaffle this, its lovely
Actually lets call the Clarus+ head £750 as it has been gigged regularly (not that you can see any scars, scrapes or dings; it is still in fabulous condition) but the cab stays at £350 as its never even left my house. £50 discount if you take both
I have them on the Kolstein bass that Keith (Mr_Bassman) sold me and I really like them. Nice low tension but more growl than my previously-favoured Innovation Silver Slaps. I see them as the TI flats of DB strings!
Its the case that really reeks - I had one old Fender where the hard case honked so much it had to be sprayed in Febreze and left in the open air to even become approachable. Before that it was like sniffing a sweat-drenched ashtray
Buyer contacted me to say he had decided to upgrade his existing EA cab rather than buy another cab, so this is back up FS again
Must be collected from Hammersmith area
If it helps, the Wal database shows that the basses completed two and four before yours (W2172 and W2174) were made in 1983 and 1984 [url="http://www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~koesters/Privat/Wal/walspec.html"]http://www4.informat...al/walspec.html[/url]
Good luck with the [s]nipple[/s] sale
Pics always help a sale, especially given that you are a newbie with no feedback. Location also helps too. Hope that doesn't sound rude - we were all newbies at one point and my comment is meant to be constructive! These are great cabs and I'm sure someone will snap your hand off once he/she's seen pics
I just bought a fretless Wal off Claas. He shipped from Germany and gave huge confidence by supplying a very detailed set of photos of the bass and of the entire packing process. The bass itself is wonderful and better than described (Claas over-played the small dings as he is ultra-honest)
Thoroughly recommended BC'er

I'm missing something here. What's the issue with asking what the singers like?? Seems like a regular type enquiry!

The friend IS the singer
I previously owned this (as did Happy Jack) and can confirm that it's a quite lovely bass that appeared to have been kept in it's case for most of it's life as the sunburst was so vivid still. Very nice and recommended
