    I've successfully sold a couple of basses through this forum - a Rickenbacker 4003 and a Takamine B10 - so I thought I'd offer my G&L ASAT. There are pictures and more details [url="http://mysite.orange.co.uk/ebay_sales/main.html"]here[/url] These are rarely seen in the UK, but in the US they cost about the same as a Musicman Stingray, so any offers around £650?

    [quote name='tonyhudson2000' post='144917' date='Feb 22 2008, 11:48 AM']Hi Sercet. Are you still interested in selling?[/quote] Yes, this is still for sale.

    ...and the G was originally for George, as in Fullerton. [quote name='LLOYDWT' post='143066' date='Feb 19 2008, 02:04 PM']Yeah, the L in G&L stands for Leo, as in Leo Fender, its the company he founded after leaving Musicman, and G&L make very nice alternatives to Fender Precisions', Jazzs' & Musicman Stingrays, the Tributes are the cheaper non US guitars, but they are a good alternative to the Mexican Fenders, or just Leo Fender fans looking for a G&L instrument that won't break the bank.[/quote]

    I've had some interest in this, but not enough interest for anyone to hand over money. Any advice? Do I need to reduce the price a little? Put it on ebay? Take it to the March "bash"? Put it back in the case and forget about it? Thanks Steve

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='138484' date='Feb 11 2008, 09:37 PM']Is the bridge adjustable for height?[/quote] No, it's a fixed bridge. There is a truss rod for neck adjustments.

    The strings are extra-long-sale Rotosounds. Clearly not long enough. I've used Thomastik-Infeld strings and they fit without the silk covering the fingerboard.

    I just wanted to say that this is a great little amp. I bought one just before Christmas. I have it paired with an EA Wizzy 10 250w cab. Yesterday I used it with a Taylor acoustic bass - it's the first time I've been able to use that bass live, up until now i couldn't get enough volume. Last week I used it wit a Sansamp pedal and a Rickenbacker. Again, great sound. I walked a mile from the car to the pub. Steve

    BASS BASH MARCH 2008

    Sercet replied to ped's topic in Events

    If I make it, I'll bring one, two or three of Acoustic Image Focus amp, EA Wizzy cab, Takamine upright, Pino precision, 1962 precision, Rickenbacker 4001c64. Do you have to be good at playing bass to attend, or can you just be an enjoyer? Steve

    Peter bought a Rickenbacker from me. I like him.

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='104976' date='Dec 16 2007, 05:20 PM']I'm 99.9% certain that it hasn't. The neck is unvarnished though and has a zero fret. I would check but it's 10 min work to get them all out from the spare bedroom and 20 min to put them all away again, and I've not long done that The action is very low on the 'Macca' and the neck has just about zero relief like Ric recommend. It's definately a great neck to play. The neck on both the CS and the C64S does seem slimmer but then the newer 4003's are supposed to have the slimmer neck too.[/quote] I have the C64. I used to have the 4003 in the picture. I would say that the C64 has a slimmer neck. Steve
  14. Sercet
    Peter, How do you like the 64S? I have the C64 in fireglo. It's great. Steve [quote name='GreeneKing' post='97307' date='Dec 1 2007, 05:54 PM']I am one very happy bass bunny: 2005 4003 MG with VTC 2006 4001C64S 'Macca' As of today, thanks to 'Old Horse' Nick 'Murphy' 1999 4001CS 'Chris Squire' Peter[/quote]

    If you do this, let us know how it works out. I'd like to do the same thing. Steve

    I am in Worcester, so not very near. [quote name='paul, the' post='86758' date='Nov 11 2007, 05:27 AM']I'm desperate to try one of these. I'm guessing you're not near.[/quote]

    This is a Takamine B10 bass that you can play "horizontally" on your lap, or use the supplied endpin to stand it up and play upright. This is a big bodied bass with a curved ebony fingerboard and 34" scale. It has a comprehensive preamp with volume, bass, middle, treble, advanced EQ, fedback eliminator and reverb. It has a built in tuner and you can save your settings. This is a big, beautiful bass with the biggest hard case you ever did see. This sounds more like a double bass than any other acousticbass guitar or upright electric I have ever played. Offers around £900? Steve

    This is a bit of an odd instrument. Kydd call it an upright Picollo bass, but you can also tune it BEAD (an octave above the lowest four strings on a typical five string bass) or put cello strings on it and tune it like a cello. More Information here. [url="http://www.kyddbass.com/"]<a href="http://www.kyddbass.com/" target="_blank">http://www.kyddbass.com/[/url]</a> Fernando Saunders plays the five sring version of this with Lou Reed. Offers around £500? Steve

    Godin electro-acoustic. Semi-hollow body with piezo pickup, volume, bass, middle and treble sliders. Includes Godin hardcase. Offers around £500? Steve

    I'm based in Worcester. Trades are unlikely as I already have a cash offer. Some other questions people have asked: 1) Does it have a case? - Yes, standard Rickenbacker case, with a slight crack on the corner. 2) Why are you selling? I've just bought a Rickenbacker C64 and I need money for a double bass. Thanks for the interest. Steve [quote name='King Tut' post='83380' date='Nov 4 2007, 01:54 AM']Where are you based and are you interested in partial trades? Col[/quote]
  23. Sercet
    I have a lot of messages saying that I should be able to get between £800 and £1000 for this, so any offers around £900? I need to put another picture up as there is a slight mark on the back. Steve [quote name='MB1' post='83265' date='Nov 3 2007, 07:53 PM']MB1. The price of Mr Secrets bass strangely.........remained a Secret![/quote]

    [quote name='BB2000' post='82912' date='Nov 2 2007, 08:07 PM']It's a bit rough on the back, but you'll get £1500+ Possibly a lot more if you're lucky.[/quote] If I'm totally honest, there are some rough spots on the front as well. I need to get some more photographs done and an extended description.

    Mahogany body with ash facings. Ebony fingerboard. I think Electric Wood, the makers of Wal basses, have stopped trading as Pete Stevens has retired. Take a look and let me know what might be a fair price. Steve
