Hi Guys, I'm offering up for grabs a cracking Lakland Bob Glaub with a couple of hundred quids worth of Villux Mods..... Pickup, 4 position mid switch and tone boost, really adds another dimension to the Precision sound while retaining the classic passive P bass tone as well. Mods have been done profesionally and to a high standard The neck on this Bass is exceptional, feels every bit as good as the USA 4-94 I had, Really one of the nicest feeling and playing instruments i've had the pleasure of..... Condition wise it'as a good 9.5 / 10 It's currently set up with Flatwounds and really delivers that "old school P bass thump" action is low and playability 10 / 10 Only reason for selling so soon is that I've tried out an Aguilar DB750 today against the Aguilar AG500 I was going to buy (and was really happy with) Man that Big Aggie is Good !!! I now need the cash to bridge the price gap...... I hope Peter doesn't mind me using his Porn Thread to show the Bass, I'll take some photo's later [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15354&hl=bob+glaub"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;hl=bob+glaub[/url] [b]Let's not mess around here..... I'd like a quick sale so i'm setting the price at £575 [b] [b][size=4]Price Dropped to £550 to secure a sale by the weekend[/size][/b] Cheers Mark

[quote name='Waldo' post='162588' date='Mar 24 2008, 12:21 PM']Fleabasses seem to be very hard to sell at the moment, took months to sell mine![/quote] I think everythings slow, but yeah, Ray's & Warwicks seem to be in low demand, Ric's & Fenders are having their day again !! The Flea's still here guys, happy to consider trades Mark

[quote name='Beedster' post='162520' date='Mar 24 2008, 08:46 AM']Hope it goes well Mark mate, look after my Modulus Only joking, thanks for the PM, probably for the best as it's such a beaut I'd never want to take it out of the house. Cheers Chris[/quote] Thanks Guys...... Just got in from the gig ! What a Blast !!! Loads of RHCP fans in there...... well RHCP tribs are not that common on the pub circuit in the North East !! My Playing was just about OK I think I scraped through it..... maybe i'll put a couple of pics or vids up when they come in (if there's any interest) I didn't use my Flea Bass, I know i'm Crazy but I really didn't want to risk getting it knocked in a multi band situation ! Had to make do with my Stingray Cheers Mark

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='162500' date='Mar 24 2008, 07:06 AM']Come on then, what did you walk out of EM with? [/quote] Nothing at all...... can you believe it ? Am I cured ? (I doubt it) Am I skint ? (Isn't everyone) Didn't Electro Music have anything in the Bass Dept (Actually a lot more than usual) I did try the Mark Bass F1 through a MB cab and an SWR cab, one sounded average one sounded AWESOME !!! I'll let you make your own mind up which was which !!

[quote name='Beedster' post='162349' date='Mar 23 2008, 08:12 PM']Whaaaaaaaaaaaat.............. I can't believe this hasn't sold. My Flea Bass sold for £1000 on Ebay two months ago, and it was nothing like as well spec'd as Mark's, AND mine had been repaired and refined.... Mark, anything less than £1250 for that is too cheap so keep it mate. You know you'll only buy another one one day anyway! Or... I'm thinking about offering you a '74 Precision AND the P/J fretless we almost traded recently (now fixed by Paul C) in exchange.... However, I'm sure someone will see sense and put me out of my mIsery C[/quote] It's Crazy isn't it ? Damn that Credit Crunch Your Precisions are nice for sure..... I may be trading the Flea into a local music store against an AMP. A cash sales would obviously give me more options in negotiating etc, so (Sensible) cash offers are invited and trades possible too High on my shopping list are Aguilar DB / GS 112 cabs Aguilar DB750 / AG500 MarkBass F1 Certainly other stuff considered all PM's will be considered replied to Cheers Mark

I was in Electro Music in Doncaster where they have a good range of Sanbergs, Dave had just got a new one in and urged me to try it out, It was a black bass with matching headstock rosewood board with pearl blocks - sexy sexy !! Pups were Musicman / Precision OMG how BIG did that sound ! Really well put together too, only thing that put me off was the big plastic Nut !! looked really cheap and out of place on such an instrument

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='154455' date='Mar 10 2008, 12:26 PM']hi over the last ten years ive been on a seemingly never ending search for the right bass for me, i have had everything!! trust me!! now i finally feel settled with my jazz basses! so this beautiful stingray has been sat in its case not being used!! which is a shame! ive owned this lovely bass from new (july 2007) its a 2007 4 string model in trans red, maple board, 3 band, black plate, musicman hardcase out of all the stingrays i tried that day in sound control this one stood out a mile mainly because of its quality fit and finish and lovely light weight!! so........ what im after is either a cash sale of around £700 or trades of similar amount with cash either way depending on the bass in question! so if you have a fender jazz MIA, CIJ etc (or jazz style, sadowsky, lakland etc) and you fancy a gorgeous ray then get in touch cheers chris[/quote] Just 10 years ? you've got loads of time left yet on your quest........... I've been at it since 1984 and a Jedson Fretless...... !! Still not sure what I like best !!! LOL !! Good luck with the Ray sale..... it's nice one !!

[quote name='molan' post='154173' date='Mar 9 2008, 08:39 PM']I have no ida what year it is - can I tell from the serial number? Wow, if I sold both of the Lanes for $800 each that wouldn't be far off what I paid for the entire bass (well, within a couple of hundred quid anyway!).[/quote] The first 2 numbers should tell you the year (see picture - mine's a 97) if yours was a custom then it might not have a number on it !
