[quote name='ben604' post='663928' date='Nov 24 2009, 04:12 PM']Bump. Suprised there's no interest in these as they're massively well regarded. I've been given some advice that I might not be putting enough juice into them which is why I'm not feeling the oompfh, so I'm going to buy a decent power amp and give them another go, so they may well be withdrawn...[/quote] good call - I've used my 4ohm LowB2 with a 500 watt Mark Bass head. If you've got two of them you'd probably need a 1000w power amp to get the best out of them.

like this one, but maybe length is different? [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/PLANET-WAVES-74mm-PADDED-COMFORT-STRAP-74T000-NEW_W0QQitemZ110456921086QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item19b7bedbfe"]http://cgi.ebay.com/PLANET-WAVES-74mm-PADD...=item19b7bedbfe[/url] I bought a couple of months ago. It's in 99% mint condition, I've put it on one bass for a couple of months and it was only used by me practicing at home. Standing up, at the straps' shortest my bass was at a comfortable waist height. At it's longest you'll probably be pulling off a decent Hooky impression. It was a little too long to use while sitting down really (for me at least), it just ensured that the bass didn't just fall on the floor when I wasn't holding on to it. I paid $25 dollars for it in the States. Guess they would be around £20 mark in the UK, but I've not been able to verify that. I'm happy to give it away - i.e. first one to say they want it ([b]by posting on this thread, not PM[/b]) can have it as long as they're prepared to donate, lets say £12 to Basschat. I'll cover P&P. Is that fair ? Cheers G EDIT: p.s. don't confuse this with the "Comfort Strapp" which is a different product entirely.

[quote name='Aussiephoenix' post='660197' date='Nov 20 2009, 02:46 PM']Hi. I can only guess at the weight... the missus doesnt like having scales in the house lool. I'd say its 9-10lbs bassaussie's played it, and he concurs about that estimate. the pups, so far as I know are singles, though there is no "singles" noise. the covers are sadowsky, but its been hinted that the original owner had swapped them for nordstrands. no idea, all I know is it sounds great.[/quote] when I sold this to Aussiephoenix it had the original Sadowsky single coil pups in the bass. As I recall, the pickup covers have the Sadowsky logo on them. From memory the weight was closer to 10 than 9.

EDIT: SOLD

hey Geoff - this seems to be a steal. I had a look at the Atelier web site, and to buy this new would be in the region of GBP1300 and that's not even including shipping and customs duty and vat which would add another 300 quid to the total no doubt. So, you're probably selling this for approximately what the shipping and taxes would come to on a new one! Anyway, good luck with the sale, this is a real *BARGAIN* IMO. cheers G

I had someone PM about this bass and why I sold it to Aussiephoenix, this is what I said...: [quote]Yes - it was a great bass - no problems with it apart from the wear marks on the finger board which were purely cosmetic. I played & gigged it - it really shined in the mix rather than as a "home practice" bass. Also A/B'd it with a Celinder J Update 5. Thought the Tokyo was the better of the two. Main reason I sold was I didn't like the 19mm string spacing, although ironically the basses I play now are all 19mm. If I had the cash, I'd consider buying it back, but I don't at the moment, so that's not going to happen [/quote] Edit: don't get me wrong - it also sounds good in a "home" practice environment. However, it was awesome live. I'm sure whoever picks this up would be very happy with it. By the way the previous owner to me is also knocking around here somewhere. He used to go by the name of russofjamm back in the BassWorld days, and I think he's on BC now with a different name which I can't remember. So there you have it! p.s. I should add that my transaction with AP went very smoothly, and I personally wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

just had a look on the Ken Smith web site. The BSR5J [url="http://www.kensmithbasses.com/models/bsrj/bsrj.html"]http://www.kensmithbasses.com/models/bsrj/bsrj.html[/url] which is a special order bass would cost $3850 base price. By my reckoning that, once you've paid shipping and import duty would cost you over GBP2900 - so this is less than half the price of a new one...

right - i've done some price research. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Demeter-Compulator-COMP-1-Compressor_W0QQitemZ330368693542QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item4ceb823526"]last one of these sold on ebay UK for GBP131 + 5 P&P[/url] similarly, you won't get one cheaper from the US [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Demeter-Compulator-Optical-Compressor-MINT-Condition_W0QQitemZ200398588494QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item2ea8afca4e"]looking at this[/url] I don't at the moment think I've over-priced mine - in fact its probably a bit less than what seems to be the going rate.

[quote name='voxpop' post='644292' date='Nov 3 2009, 12:12 PM']I need one before December.....good luck with the sale.[/quote] just found out today that I'll be back in London around the 22nd of November, if that's of any use to you? [quote name='Hamster' post='644462' date='Nov 3 2009, 03:55 PM']I'll put this in the effects for sale forum - where you might get a few more readers.......... [/quote] thanks - I noticed I'd put it in the wrong section 2 seconds after I posted it

I have a Demeter Compulator which I've been thinking of letting go. I think I prefer my bass tone without any form of compression. Therefore, I probably don't need it just sitting around, and it'll help cover the cost of some pickups I've bought. It's in very good to mint condition, having had very light use. I still have the original box, also I think the instructions. I can't post any pictures at the moment, and won't be in a position to do so for a few weeks. In fact, [b]I won't be able to sell/post it until around November 23rd[/b]. I'm going to ask for [b]GBP 125[/b] - and I'll cover paypal fees, and include insured postage within the UK. If you can collect (West London), I'll knock a tenner off and do it for GBP 115. The other thing I won't do, due to bad experiences here in the past, is to "hold" it (for free). So if you want it and are willing to back that up with cold cash, I'll be wanting a 50 quid deposit up front. And the balance once it's ready to post/or on collection. cheers! G

what's up with the headstock? it looks like there's a big crack on it by the G string tuner? By the way, this link I got from TB a few months ago in on a thread there about the Cirrus.

[quote name='The Shrek' post='625405' date='Oct 13 2009, 07:54 PM']Just been through the back catalog of Overwater Progress sales here and £800 seems to be the average! What you lot think of that![/quote] way under priced IMO. i would hold out for a trade rather than sell it that low.
