Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2021?
Clarky replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best: 1982 Fullerton Jazz bass in 3TS - wonderful thing Worst: R*ck 4003 (2021 edition in jetglo) - looks cool AF but I just can't get used to ergonomics and can't even sell the damn thing on BassChat! -
Don't need to look far for the original concept (*cough* Stanley Clarke) https://www.guitarworld.com/news/stanley-clarke-releases-long-awaited-strat-style-bass-the-spellcaster

Fender Masterbuilt Geddy Lee Jazz bass...special can mean so many things.
Clarky replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
You would have thought a masterbuilt instrument could use selected woods that kept the weight down. This one weighs close to 10 pounds which would rule me (and plenty of others) out, irrespective of the price Edit: its out of stock now, ie sold. So there you go! -
Marinus bought a nice old 71 P bass from me and the whole transaction was flawless (apart from customs delaying delivery to him). I would have no hesitation whatsoever dealing with Marinus again, friendly comms, quick payment, all good! ATB Clarky

I have also been known to play a TB10 upright. Great sounding instrument

I often quip in bands (as its all too often appropriate) the old maxim that noone notices the bass player unless they are on fire. I still love it

I bought this mojo'd beauty a month or two back from BCer itsmedunc but, despite my nostalgia, I am not gelling with the bass. Its the second time I have owned a Marathon and - in spite of Shergold's cool Factory records and 70s Genesis links - its just not as comfy as my Jazz basses. So, go it must and I will resist the temptation next time a Marathon appears for sale! Its pretty crazed, like most 70s Shergolds -best seen in dunc's pics in link below. One other thing to mention is that the bass sounds great (very P like) with selector switch to left hand side (as you look down playing) but, when switched to the right, only the E and A strings sound. Not sure if this is a minor electrical fix or a function of it being stereo (the truss rod cover says so, but dunc didn't think it was stereo, so I am unsure). Will knock £50 off what I paid in case its a quick trip to your local bass tech. Sounds great if used with selector to left, so didn't bother me (or dunc). £450 plus post. Or collect SW13, south of Hammersmith Bridge. Will come in beat up Fusion gig bag or old school hard case, depending on whether post needed. Sorry NO TRADES, I have plenty of basses!

Clarky replied to Clarky's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
In response to a couple of PMs, I don't have the original packaging but I have found a box of the right dimensions (and the cab would be in its padded cover). I checked UPS (the most reliable courier, in my experience) and it would be £16 delivered without additional insurance or £36 delivered including insurance to the value of £450 -

Not sure of age (bought it last year from a BCer) but vgc cab with the 4/12 ohm switch and padded BF cover. Much prefer collection from SW13, south of Hammersmith Bridge, but could potentially post for another £15-20. Based on prior sales of the newer Two 10, £450 collected seems fair (postage on top).
