    [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1453493291' post='2960093'] Indeed, I have a shiny new credit card and Mr Baxter currently has a five string Wal for sale...... [/quote] That Wal looks great, good move

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1453484799' post='2959997'] No, Limelight Daytona Red 63 P in action! But I'd much rather have a lovely Fender 57 P in action!! How about an easy-payment scheme?? [/quote] Nice, she looked very sweet Easy payment? Surely you can work out a direct transfer, it's a sinch, easy peasy. Shall I put it on hold for you?

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1453483570' post='2959979'] Believe me, if I had £5800 knocking about it would have been in your hot hands quite some time ago. Very, very lovely bass - would be absolutely perfect for my latest project. [/quote] Cheers Mark. So you got a new project on the go? 76P back in action?
  9. Chiliwailer
    Very nice indeed. Or, you could have a bargain 1957 P for £5800 o.n.o.

    Ugly, and yet another confusing name that's already been used. Miffed.

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1453381928' post='2958931'] Whatever the situation with vintage prices at the moment, there will be a point in the not too distant future at which this instrument will sell for close to twice what Dan is asking for it. On that basis alone I'm tempted, seriously. I reckon even if I put it on the CC I'd still be quids in....... But apart from that, what a piece of history, and what a bass. If it were this time last year I'd have been buying it. [/quote] Right you are Chris and the lower the price goes the more nuts I feel. This will be one I won't enjoy looking back on, sellers regret...

    Folks, this is now below £6k which is insane. [size=5][b]£5800 o.n.o[/b][/size] A few of you may want to work out a timeshare deal?
  13. Chiliwailer
    Still so stunned that this hasn't sold yet! Incredible value for money at this price and being a Lull it's super high quality, almost makes me want to buy it and convert back to Jazzes from P's! GLWTS Andy
  14. Chiliwailer
    Love these, had two in the past and both were outstanding. Prefer them to the later ones that came a few months later, just wish they were as light as the later ones as I would have kept one if they were. Good luck bidders!

    Cheers Walplayer

    Sure it looks cool and proper, but if you're stranded after a gig where will you sleep?

    [quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1452637727' post='2952003'] Dan - this bass will bug me till it's sold! How does it compare as a players instrument to that superbly refinished '57P you sold a while back? [/quote] Hard to say without them together Greg, but both are powerhouses of a bass, huge tone and incredible natural warmth. I've been playing this bass non stop, love using it for noodling or playing along to old school RnB, Soul, Creedence and Neil Young type tunes. It has also become my number 1 sittings on the couch bass because of the feel and the vibe. I can recall that the neck on this one is more V shaped compared to the other, so feels more old school and vintage. Would be a crime if this bass didn't get played lots by the next owner, it's natural tone is lovely.

    [quote name='cayston' timestamp='1452623116' post='2951809'] Awesome looking bass Daniel. I'd grab it if I was after an early 50s P bass.. [/quote] Cheers Seni, I know where to come when the next Jazz Bass shaped one comes along! [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1452629017' post='2951882'] Dan, I suspect that if this was on eBay at a substantially higher price it would sell quickly? OK, it can be quite uncomfortable selling high value items via that route, but the risk can be pretty much mitigated through careful statement of T&Cs in the listing (and obviously if you provide a contact number people will try to deal direct). £6,000 for that bass? As Bacon would say "It's Sale of the f*****g Century" [/quote] It's on eBay pal, but no serious interest just yet. Could be a time of year thing, but could also be that at this value people are scared? Thing is, this bass has the all clear from Andy Baxter and a sales receipt for £8k from NKR, how often can you get that on a "sale of the f****ing century?!" This sure is a deal that won't come around again, that's for sure. I suspect it'll end up with a dealer soon, I'll get more cash back but could do without the hassle. Would rather sell it this way if I can. Hope you're enjoying the new studio Chris.

    Bump for another price drop.... £6000 o.n.o Where will you ever see a bass like this at this price again? Trade ideas welcome, just not by post please.
  21. Chiliwailer
    Contact Strings and Things UK, you can google their number. Top guys who will tell you the story. Peace of mind is only a phone call away! Enjoy the Ray, would love an ash / maple one again some day.... Edit: And yes, 5 years does seem like a long time for it not to sell but of the 10 and more guitar shops I worked in, not one ever kept a high ticket item in the back for stock rotation purposes. It may just have been in the S&T warehouse for a while, and not selling in that particular shop.
  22. Chiliwailer
    £6200 o.n.o. Bump! Hutton, you're welcome to come over and and have a class of 57 photo. Shaggy, feel free to bring your Las Vegas shades and flares
  23. Chiliwailer
    £300 is a nice price, these are great quality build basses and Neil is a real talent and good guy. Last time I spoke to him he had give up the workshop because his covers band was bringing in big money playing corporate events and the likes of Buckingham Palace. I recall him saying that was a nicer way to earn than being in a basement workshop all day. GLWTS, someone will be well chuffed with that
  24. Chiliwailer
    Why not look at the amp too? Tubes, tubes, tubes....

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1452267473' post='2948299'] How is this still here at that price.......? [/quote] Not quite sure myself Chris. The gearbox just went in my car, won't be a cheap fix either so that rules me out on keeping this one. So interested BC'ers, get in touch before I take it to a dealer please, let's talk!
