The standard is MIM isn't it? The ones i was looking at a couple of years ago were £399 - £469

I quite like the look of it, does it come with the case?


Also says it's got a tremolo bridge! Typo methinks...

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='490012' date='May 16 2009, 06:20 PM']The Funkmeister isn't a Zoot. I think mine is a custom Zoot.

Is there a thread for Mike's basses in the porn section? If not who's gonna start one?[/quote]


The Funkmeister is listed on the Zootbass website, under the big "Zootbass" banner.

Mine doesn't say Zoot on it, just a little Iceni logo on the rear.

It is a Zoot though....


I'm well up for the Iceni/Zoot/Mike Walsh/Whatever porn thread, even though i'm probably gonna move mine on...

obbm?

I doubt it'll sell unless it is the size of a bungalow and has 3 dummy speakers in it

Do the strings look way off though? The thickest looks like it's gonna fall of the fretboard and the thinnest is about 1cm away!

Also he coulda used the same drill bit for all the thru-body holes!

[quote name='OldGit' post='490994' date='May 17 2009, 11:16 PM']That's th point with the 1212L - it seems louder as the tone is very clear.
My band all moaned that I must be too loud now as they could hear me much more clearly on stage.
I was down on the dance floor checking the sound balance, though, and it was all about clarity and audibility, not volume as such.[/quote]


Some people complain about the "mid-hump" like it's a bad thing!
I just say it's more "poky"

Mine (1212r) holds up very well with a loud drummer. Our guitarist uses an all valve combo which is very loud.
Last night i had gremlins so ended up switching to just the Schroeder with no PA support mid gig. Plenty loud enough!

Very efficient little cab which is always heard

Wasn't pulling the string or playing particularly hard, just played a note and it went!

It's a Hipshot bridge with no rough or sharp bits, i've done loads of gigs on that bass (it has been my main bass since i got it) so i'm inclined to think it's the string

I broke the G (45) on a set of HiBeams last night, only the second gig i'd done on them. I wasn't even playing that hard too, it broke around the bridge area.

It's the first string i've broke on that bass so i don't think it's a problem with the bridge.

Anyone else experienced weak HiBeams? Also would i be eligible for a replacement? It's been on the bass a week!

They were from Strings Direct



Cheers

Or Michael Angelo?

£60 postage? I sent a bass to Poland for £47!

I am now definitely selling/trading this. It's gorgeous, sounds awesome, plays beautifully. Basically i sholud like it much more than i do but i think i'm more a Warwick guy. I can't get away from the fact that i play a lot better on my Warwick than i do on this so it has to go i'm afraid.
It's an Iceni Zoot Deluxe Custom, through neck is 7 piece maple and walnut seperated by ebony and maple stringers. 25 fret ebony fingerboard and a brass nut. Macassar ebony top and back with claro walnut core and maple veneers.

Hipshot bridge and tuners with the D-Tuner on the E string. Schaller straplocks.

Aero humbuckers with an Aguilar OPB 3 Pre (18v). It has an active/passive switch and a lo-pass filter switch (to cut the treble, instant dub on any setting)


The only things i would mention is a bit of checking in the finish of the neck around the nut, purely cosmetic. It has also been a bit noisy stood close to my amp, something which i think could be easily sorted. Otherwise it is in fantastic condition and as you can see, looks the absolute tits.

Comes in a Warwick Rockcase Flightcase.

Used to belong to BCer Alanbass (think that was his name) who bought it from new. Would cost around £1700-£1800 if bought today going off the Zootbass website


I am looking for a replacement as my main bass, a very nice Warwick would be preferred. I like thru necks, nice woods, the usual. My preferred models are Thumb, Infinity and maybe a Dolphin. Would also consider nice Corvettes plus maybe a bit of cash

If i get no offers then no worries, i'm not in a mad rush to get rid of it.

Cheers

Aye i thought it was the Zoot shape like mine, the one shared by the Chaser, Performer et al. A quick look on the site and Mike has all their production basses under the Zoot banner including the Fendery one. The Boudica was just called the Iceni Boudica though i think

Confusing stuff!

[quote name='AM1' post='489418' date='May 16 2009, 12:01 AM']I've got everything they've released and a few more besides!

First album is an acquired taste, but some of the best albums are "growers!"

You clearly haven't heard The Uplift Mofo Party Plan![/quote]



Got all their albums, have RHCP and Uplift Mofo Party Plan on tape somewhere in the attic. I think Skinny Sweaty Man and Behind the Sun are the only ones i liked on TUMPP

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='489776' date='May 16 2009, 01:22 PM']I thought it was £21,000 ?[/quote]

It was, i quite clearly wrote that in my post Wayne. Tch tch!

EDIT as it's sold, but this is the sort of thing you should be looking at. Really good heads, try the Ashdowns and Peaveys too as they're really good bang for buck

Looks like he's stuck chewing gum to the body then held a lighter under the headstock. Oh dear...

An old Jazz (in showroom condition) with a supposed history going for £21,000

He had bought all the parts in the last month or so, all clearly visible in his feedback



I sent him a message explaining how hilarious it was!

Also pm'd

That first one actually looks like a good buy. Of course it's likely to be a dog but that's really cheap

You ever heard their first album? Utter tosh!

Mothers Milk, BSSM and for me One Hot Minute are their best. One Hot Minute gets the vote purely for Aeroplane, Coffee Shop and Shallow be Thy Name, very underrated album

Back OT, i'd like to thank the OP for reminding me what an ace band these guys are, dug their CDs out and gave em a good listen tonight. Used to cover Twisted many moons ago

That's nonsense!

One for gigging, one for backup, one for home practice, one for rehearsal!

He's got a £2000 bass for half that, course he's the winner!

Didn't intend to sound like a d1ck but hey, it's getting late for me!
