I will leave this up for a couple of days before parting it out. If anyone is interested in it as a job lot, now is the time to act

You and your wife play bass. GAS x 2. Wow!

Is this still here for £650? Bonkers! If you want a big, powerful rig for frankly peanuts then here it is.

You know, people bang on about EMGs being sterile and all that. They are not. I did a job recently and the engineer is a bit of a geek for kit and he recorded my bass and then looked at it and said "I thought that EMGs were brittle etc etc etc. Those sounded really warm and well defined" £50? Bargain.

are these new and the standard six string set from sheldon? Yes if so I will have both please, call it £35? That sounds like a deal Shall we take this to PM?

2 sets of 6 string sets. £18 each delivered. They will work on basses which are not Dingwall 30 - 45 -etc - 130 Trade for a set of 5 string Labella plastic tapewounds - yes I know, from one extreme to the other

If this was a 5 I would be in real trouble.

I played this exact combination at a gig before the summer. It was lush beyond and MAHOOOOOSIVELY loud. This is a bargain.

So you got a hunk of wood and carved the body yourself???[/quote] The body was made by a local luthier who did all the technical stuff and then I did the grunt sanding work I have my eyes on another bass now and will send this to your door for £550

[quote name='Exile252' post='318703' date='Oct 30 2008, 10:47 PM']Oh.... So what bass did the body come from lol. Because it looks fantastic.[/quote] <sigh> Quote from 1st post - "A long time ago I bought a Stingray 5 (on a 4 hour detour on my honeymoon. How my new wife laughed!). I then bought a MM fretless neck for it. I then made a template from the body (ash + luscious birds eye maple 1/4" cap with a subtle rosewood veneer coachline between both) and bolted the the fretless neck to that and flogged the original Ray 5." In case anyone thinks that I am getting arsey here, I know Mr 252 very well

The only "proper" bit the neckplate

The reality is that I would love £650, but it is such an odball to price that I just don't know if that would fly. I was honestly expecting to part it out, and that is kind of about what it would come to. If someone wants to give me £650 then I would be happy to ship it to their door. I am in Bangor, North Wales.

Ho hum.

If this somehow is not sold then put me in line.

Status MM5 neck with ultralites and a D tuner drilled for 6 bolt absolutely standard MM fitting. £340 new - that is what the bare undrilled neck costs from Status. This has (fitted by Status) Hipshot licenced Ultralite machine heads from a Lak Skyline and a US D-tuner and was drilled by Status for body fiitting - that all added up to another £200. £340 as it is 2 x Nordstrand MM5.3 - £99 new each. £60 each . Badass V slotted for MM5 spacing - £50 East MM-preamp with sweepable mid £140 new - £80.

Price drop bump. I need to shift these as there are a pair of Villex pick ups waiting for me.

[quote name='Flanker' post='311635' date='Oct 21 2008, 10:19 PM']Yeah Steve and I really do love this bass too but I'll never gig with it (Skjold for that) and I'm past the stage of just buying anything I like without somehow being able to pay for it![/quote] That's crazy talk and part of the reason the economy is in such a mess. Shame on you.
