[quote name='Andrew Joseph' post='966751' date='Sep 24 2010, 02:39 PM']Hello. Im in London, very interested. Where are you based? Thanks Andrew[/quote] I have sent you a PM. Based in west London.

[quote name='jayblaze' post='962740' date='Sep 20 2010, 09:22 PM']is this bass still up for grabs? the thing is all i have in return is a spector and a dingwall. you want cash dont you? how did you get this bass in the first place?[/quote] hi Jay, yes I'm afraid I'm only looking for a sale, for a number of reasons. I bought it (used and) direct from the US a few years ago. cheers G

[b]SOLD [/b] Gallien Krueger MB150 E - (112 III) combo I'm thinking I'd like to try something different, and therefore this will become surplus to requirements. I am the original owner, and bought it from the Bass Merchant about 3 years ago. I have all the original packaging, and also a Rockbag case. Just like this, in fact: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_mb150e112_iii_bundle.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_m..._iii_bundle.htm[/url] I'm asking for £400

[quote name='Damo200' post='959215' date='Sep 17 2010, 10:49 AM']Fancy trading it for a five string hand-made Bacchus super jazz (19mm spacing too!) In perfect nick. Regards, D[/quote] Hi Damo, Sorry, not looking for any trades, as I need the funds towards something very specific. Cheers G [quote name='TKenrick' post='959578' date='Sep 17 2010, 03:53 PM']Looks great, how much does it weigh?[/quote] I don't know for sure, and unfortunately I can't weigh it at the moment (because its 200 miles away), but I'd guess at around the 9lb mark. Cheers

just found some youtube clip of a dude playing BSR5J - I guess it's representitve of my bass. It sounds to me like the EQ is quite flat on there, or that it's in passive mode.

thanks chaps! Indeed it is, my first "high-end" bass. I will be sad to see it go - superb sound, and low action, maybe the most playable bass I've owned. I've just become more accustomed to the wider 19mm string spacing, rather than the 18mm on this. Out of all the BSR5-J models I've seen for sale (4 or 5 others) over the last 5 years since I got this, this is by far the nicest looking. Some amazing grain patterns, but still very under-stated. Maple body and (bolt-on) neck, morado finger board (I think), Smith BMT preamp, Smith humbucking J pickups. Controls are Volume (pull/passive), Pan, Bass, Mid, Treble. 34" scale. 24 frets. Weight, I can't say, but would guess around 9lbs. Comes with the original Smith hard-shell case with case candy (Smith wax, Smith leather strap). If there's anything else anyone needs to know, then don't hesitate to ask here, or via PM. cheers Gwilym

1997 Ken Smith BSR5-J £1400 Only pic I have at the moment: [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gwilym/Basses/DSCN0548.jpg"][/url] Can be tried and tested in West London not to far from Barons Court on the District Line, and 10 minutes walk from the Olympia exhibition centre. Cheers G

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='954225' date='Sep 12 2010, 11:43 PM']+1[/quote] yes indeed, I'm still sitting here looking at the damn thing

so, so tempting. I let mine go for £550 3 years ago, and I think that was a bargain then. I'm sure this won't be around very long...

Is there a head phone socket on this? It doesn't look like it, but thought I'd double check. Diolch! G

[quote name='Finbar' post='952754' date='Sep 11 2010, 02:41 PM']Probably the wrong section, but PM'd all the same.[/quote] yes, posted from my phone earlier, and got the wrong section - mods, please feel free to move it Finbar, checking my PMs...

Bought new a couple of months ago, and hasn't left the house. It's been used, but as near mint/new as you'll get A little too long for me, hole to hole it goes 45" to 56" I will trade for a short gs1, or a long version of the Comfort Strapp, which should measure in the region of 38" to 45" Condition wise they should also be vg+ Cheers G

These basses are fantastic, I had one for a while, but went in my 4 string bass clear out. I probably should have kept it.

[quote name='KERMITNT' post='949531' date='Sep 8 2010, 03:41 PM']my friend have a bump from me [/quote] thanks Manos hope you're still digging the F? I'm surprised there's been so little interest in this, I think it's fairly priced? It really does need to go to a good home now - my new MTD arrived a few weeks ago, and I can't justify having 2 of them, let alone 3. If this had 24 frets and the neck was as slim (it's a slightly deeper front-to-back) as the others I'd probably keep it. So bump again for a great (or even fantastic!) bass. I guess I'm open to trades, but if that happens then it pretty much has to be a local deal, and the basses should be what I'd consider to be easier to sell on (e.g. a 4 string Sadowsky or something in that vein), so no battered old basses (unless it's a pre-CBS Fender ), or anything where it'd be difficult to establish a market value. So hit me with any offers etc - the worst I can do is say no. As always, I'd prefer prospective buyers to try before they buy (West London), but I can (probably) ship in the UK/EU. I have a proper box to put it in now, so should be able to adequately package it without incurring the £30 cost at Mailboxes Etc.

These are great amps, I'm very happy with mine. Worth noting that the voltage is not switchable though., so this is probably set for 230/240volts ? Good luck with the sale, someone will be lucky to get it

Tempting! A great price on a neck thru Thumb bass.
