This bass is now SOLD

Very nice

Hi Jim, the 30th still spends more time in its case than out of it, but it's such a lovely thing that I just can't find it in me to part with it....or should I say nothing has given me sufficient GAS to consider selling it over the last 6 months or so. That HH looks the mutts, wish I had room for one.

[quote name='Macko1968' post='1148795' date='Mar 3 2011, 07:36 PM']It's very tempting but I already have a fretless 4 'ray & I suspect Mrs Macko would prefer we "invested" in some decking.[/quote] Know what you're saying M, I know that if this sells I'll have to spend the money quick or it will turn into light fittings for the living room! However, when buying basses I still sometimes try the 'that one new? no, had it for ages, you must be confusing it with.....'

Some interest shown but still here as we speak. I think EBay beckons for the weekend once I've got the Sheffield/Rotherham Magna Real Ale Fest out of the way. Torn between using the Status and the Sue Ryder 'Sonic Sue' special for that one!

[quote name='Jimelliottbassist' post='1148658' date='Mar 3 2011, 05:46 PM']trade offers??[/quote] If my SR5 had some frets Jim I'd happily trade you. Having traded basses with Jim in the past all I can say is that he's a pleasure to deal with and if he says his bass is mint it's 'beyond mint'. Amazed this hasn't gone yet. Seem to be saying that a lot lately, therefore what do i know

Good luck with the sale anyways.[/quote] Cheers PB, you'll have to let me know when you're up in the Sheffield area on a gig, I'd love to see the Big Al in action when you get it!

Dave, this was relisted in a separate thread as this one had got a bit confusing and drawn out. Yes it's still available at £600 plus p&p

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1147417' date='Mar 2 2011, 06:00 PM']Why is this so cheap???? I'm astonished, truely. If it is 9.5 / 10 why is it still here!!!?? I'd have it if it was fretted, me and fretless do not go well. I'm keeping an eye on this![/quote] Surprised myself to be honest PB. At £600 I'm taking a fair hit and I thought I'd got a good deal on it. Since I got it it's had a set up by Jon Shuker and a new WD scratch plate. Anyway in answer to your questions: 1. It is 9.5/10, the pictures are a good representation. 2. I'm assuming the Market for fretless 5 string is specialised and therefore low demand. I guess if it had frets it would be more like £750 in this condition. Unfortunately if I had it fretted I would be ruining a perfectly good Ray

It's lonely out here in 5 string Fretless 'for sale' land. Still happy to consider a trade with money either way for a 4 string fretless. Will also consider trades for fretted 4 string Ray or MIA Jazz or P.

Sorry to those that were interested and had made offers but the deal I was looking at to replace this rig has fallen through. So with gigs lined up and no alternative gear available I'm afraid I've had to withdraw this gear from sale for the moment.

Sorry Mr B but that's a bit left field for me. Looks the mutts tho, but I fear my cak-handed style wouldn't do it justice.

Same as you Rob, sunny Rotherham (well Wickersley).

And..........again

Bump

Still a miserably low £600 or make me a trade offer
