I'm very much open to trades and part exchanges. Warwick SS1 5 string Stingray 5 - single pickup Lakland 55-01/02 Lakland Bob Glaub Lakland Joe Osborn 5 Fender Precision - CIJ, MIA, even a MIM if it's one of the 50's reissues I'm really being quite open minded about this next move- 4 or 5 string basses. I'm also after an intel mac mini at some point.

bump

no worries ;D best of luck

Roscoe Beck 5?

The 2x15 went back to the shop- it was incredible how much low end that thing spat out but it really needed a midrange driver in my opinion, it was only really apparent when in the mix. Scrawntcher, I'll fire you off a pm in a wee bit. R

Heh he, that markbass cab is sodding great, I've had it for years- I'm adding a 1x15 so I can get the full whack out of the GK

ps- I'm based in Brighton

Well I bought this for a really good price from a nice bloke on ebay about a month ago- I'd been after one for a good couple of years and this turned up only a couple of weeks after buying a Lakland DJ5- I thought sod it, I'll bid and ended up winning fully expecting to be shifting on either bass after a few practices and gigs. Well I've pretty much decided, the DJ5 is the bass for me - and despite all the extra tones available on the RBV I still go for the single coil setting. It has a great low B, loads of tones available- I do like the series bridge pickup setting very much. Chunkier neck than the lakland, although still really comfy even for a guy with small hands. It's light as well. In order to get the action as low as I like it, quite a big setup and fret dress was required so it plays really well. It's in great condition, almost perfect despite a couple of minute and extremely shallow depressions in the neck right up near the joint, too small to photograph. It comes with a Fender Deluxe tweed case as in the pics which is mint. Also has all the case candy and tags. I'm waiting on a reply from someone who has first dibs but in case he doesn't want it- I thought I'd post it here- Now I'll be perfectly honest, I bought this at what I consider to be a very good price- plus I've spent some money getting it to set up nice and low, so considering that and the current demand, scarcity and new price of these instruments- I'm after £825 cash or trade. I'd be interested in a few of the following but am open to suggestions. I'm particularly looking for a nice precision, I might be willing to accept 2 basses in trade, 2 precisions or a p and a fretless j would be good. Fender Precision of some description, MIJ or MIA. Lakland Bob Glaub G&L l2500 Lakland 55-02 (lakland electronics only) possibly a lakland JO5

I'd really like to own this bass - I've been after an Fbass for years plus Julian is a big influence of mine. I'm pretty sure that bridge is the same as the one on my Roscoe beck 5

[quote name='BassManKev' post='205514' date='May 24 2008, 12:56 PM']i cant stand the fact that you have posted your email address rather than asked to be pm'd it;s as if you actually are treating this like a free classified ad, and lack of pictures and indeed any details about you or the bass, a poor classified ad at that prove me wrong, introduce yourself, and actually be a member of the forum[/quote] Jesus man, these posts irk me far more than people diving in to the classifieds- the for sale section attracts new members probably more than any other, posts like yours are more likely to drive people away. ----- Sorry for this post Roger, I'm looking forward to pics of your bass, I may have something to offer in a trade in the next week or so Russ

Nice

These are tits - just sold mine and I'm missing it terribly

These are stunning, I've used one (and a pair at one point) for years

After a couple of long practices with both lakland DJ5 and RBV... ...I think I'm starting to favour the DJ5, there's really not much in it

[quote name='Toasted' post='191160' date='May 3 2008, 12:02 PM']So, RBV owners of basschat - what's the B like?[/quote] Sounds very good so far in my bedroom ;D got a pre gig practice at 10am tomorrow morning- will report back afterwards. All the strings sound really even and in series humbucking the B really shakes the room. So far, it's certainly on par with my DJ5 for low B-ness, maybe slightly better. I'm still in love with the DJ5 neck, it's great and I've got mine setup perfectly- nice and low, my RBV isn't quite there yet as regards to setup but should be in the next couple of days.
