With Cliff Burton you're looking at some good wedge. Specially with the 'Tallica fans as odd as they are :-)

2 for the thumb rest (the ones under the strings) and 2 for the pickup cover. Nice bass yo!

That is a supremely good looking bass. Man, I wish I was made of money. Well, not really because I wouldn't be able to play bass with paper hands I spose, but you know what I mean!

[quote name='far0n' post='131405' date='Jan 31 2008, 05:03 PM']Realistically you're looking at about say £475-500 for it. They're about £675 brand new from Thomann I think.[/quote] I'd say nearer £350 - £400. If you're nice to your Markbass dealer, you can pick these up for less than £600. I was once an endorsee for Mark Bass. Strange world hey!

I'm still here, Bump!

Just a note to say these are great strings for anyone who's interested BUT I'd make sure you're able to adjust your bass neck to accomodate them. I saw one 62' reissue terrbily warped by prolonged exposure to these bad boys!

I used to use 2 1974 Hiwatt DR103's and 2 4x12 300watt cabs. Man, that was sweet. The price is ok, but I'd like to see it nearer £1500. Also, getting it flight cased would cost me another £500 - £600 on top, so I'd be looking at a lot of cash! Great amps though, they sound like a million bucks.

Yeah, I agree with Birdy here. I've got an EBS head and a cabinet and whilst they are great amps, they do't have the recognition and resale value of other manufacturers. Also, you can regularly find them for £600 - £650 new, and I usually set a benchmark of half the retail price for a second hand sale. I'd give you £400 for this cab if I was up in Bolton, but getting there makes it just too expensive. Plus you've only advertised it for a few days as well, sometimes it takes months to sell, Birdy sold his for £320 and got shot of it straight away!

[quote name='ray_6ao7' post='129919' date='Jan 29 2008, 12:05 PM']Hmm...im thinking the same thing... the story of the negative feedback goes... A guy in america asked to buy the bass and that he would pay the shipping fees...i was fine with this...then he asked if i could declare the bass at a stupidly low value to avoid import tax...which i wasnt over the moon with, as if it got damaged i would potentially lose £1200.00 if it was decared at $300.00...so i told him that there was no way i was going to send it uninsred and to send it fully insured on a 2-3day recorded carrier would only cost £180.00 on royalmail which was much cheaper than fedex and UPS who wanted rougly £300.00...after a few days he came back saying if i wouldnt send it unisured and at a lower value then i could forget about the sale...so i said fine i'll hold onto it and thanks for messing me around...then i left negative feedback, then he did the same...[/quote] Sounds like a typical ebay w£££ker. You can get the negative removed if you file with ebay. I'd put your phone number on the listing and get people to speak to you about it. The only problem I can see is that people don't see through the negative feedback. You do have the option of revising your listing so I'd do that! Good luck, I like tha bass a lot!

Hi mate, the negative feedback you've recieved in trying to sell the bass the first time round would put most bidders off. I'd be surprised if you get any bids to be honest...

[quote name='Sibob' post='128346' date='Jan 26 2008, 06:00 PM']You can kinda see that its a Bravewood body, I've never seen a vintage fender that has 'aged' like that Still a nice looking bass though. Good luck Si[/quote] My vintage Fender has aged like that. It was toured all over the states during the 60s. Man, it's beaten to death! What I'm trying to say is that Bravewood are the best in the business for 'real' relic finishes, and this bass looks pretty darn good to me. If I was to buy it, I'd have to know that the parts were worth at least as much as the asking price. Neck must be worth £600 - £700 66 bridge £150 - £200 Scratchplate £200 Tuners £200 etc. etc. I'd expect to pay around £2000 - £2500 retail for a 66' refinned jazz, so this seems ok.

Just a quick question, the P Bass should have 2 holes for the bridge cover, I can't see any there though... Are there any on the bass? Have they been filled perhaps?

HAS TO GO!!!! Bump

Hi all, this is a turn up for me as it's usually vintage Fenders, but I've got myself a lovely Hammond XB-2 that I'm getting rid of. For those of you that don't know, this is Hammond's portable version which recreats the sound of Hammonds most desirable models, namely the B-series from the late 50s/60s. It has its own draw bars, which mean you can alter the sound on the fly. Basically, this is considered the best Hammond instrument you can get. This was bought new by my band for £1250, and the flight case was a further £150. It's had moderate use (maybe 20 to 30 gigs) but as it's been flight-cased for its entire life, it's in excellent condition. Read about the specs here: [url="http://www.hammondsuzuki.com/xb-2.htm"]http://www.hammondsuzuki.com/xb-2.htm[/url] [b] The Hammond is for sale at £450 (this is an amazing price for it). [/b] It's at our studio in central Bristol and can be tried out if you like. In the flight case, postage is gonna cost. Not interested in any trades (unless you have an EBS head or cab) PM or give me a ring on: 07515773000 Cheers!

Bump, has to go will do it for £600 delivered now. This is a great price for a great bass!

[quote name='Beedster' post='125509' date='Jan 22 2008, 03:31 PM']Lovely bass, but I think you'll find it's a 3- and not a 4-band Lawrie (although having played a 4-band MM it's being a 3 is a positive selling point IMHO) Good luck Chris[/quote] Fair enough, it is what it is! You want that 74 scratchplate yet Chris?

Err, the Geddy Lee is not for sale, that's a PC f¬!£$ up that I can't remove! It's gone already :-)

I've got a 4 band Musicman Stingray in Teal Green. I've had this from new and was bought in Sound Control (grr - rubbish!) in 1998 when it cost me something like £1350. The serial number confirms this (although apparently from the site it says it should be a lined fretless!), although this is the internet, so let's be honest, it's nonsense. This neck has never left the body! The bass has a wonderful fretboard, and plays amazingly well. The frets are in perfect nick as well. She's a real beauty. The neck is straight all the way up it and sounds superb! When you dig in, it sounds like Flea and all the other major Stingray users. The teal green body has a few dings and things on it, scars of being a working bass. There are two noticeable bumps, and a few other knocks which I have pictured, I've also factored these into the price of the bass as well. But then again, perfection is over-rated (as I always say to my girlfriends!). Hopefully the pictures represent this. This bass was gigged for a while, and was also my main teaching bass, which means it was used a lot! It's been sat on a stand for a while. I've got a Stagg hard case to go with the bass, and a new set of Ernie Ball Slinky's as well. I'm looking at £600 for the bass collected, or £620 delivered through Royal Mail Parcelforce 24 (fully insured). This is a great price for a players bass. Leave the mint one at home and take this one! I'm in central Bristol, so either PM me, or give me a ring on 07515773000. I'm around most of the time and can take a day off or so for you to come round. I make a mean cup of tea as well. If you need any more pictures, then please give me a ring or an email. Thanks! If you're looking for trades, then hit me up with vintage Fenders, but nothing else I'm afraid.

I like the rig a lot. Are you interested in trades at all? I've got an immaculate 98 Stingray (alright, there's 1 bump) with case etc. which I'd be looking to P/X or a Salmon Pink Precision perhaps?
