Hi Folks [b]*** SOLD ***[/b] With a new bass incoming, I've decided to put my [b]Levinson Blade B15[/b] Jazz bass up for sale at [b]£300 + shipping[/b] in order to help balance the books.. I bought this from BassBunny a couple of years ago to replace the Roscoe Beck 5 string I was selling at the time, and over the two years I've had it, I've used it a lot at gigs and rehearsals and it's been great! Very comfortable for long gigs/rehearsals, a very nice action and a lovely warm sound. As you can see in the photos, it's in pretty good condition, though it's by no means perfect, though that's never worried me because it plays so nicely and sounds like a 5 string jazz should; i.e. phat & funky! [attachment=197173:20150722_171434.jpg] [attachment=197174:20150722_171220.jpg] [attachment=197175:20150722_171717.jpg] [attachment=197176:20150722_171601.jpg] [attachment=197177:20150722_171622.jpg] [attachment=197178:20150722_171847.jpg] The neck is straight, truss rod works and the frets have plenty of life left in them. No problems with the electronics either.. Not sure what the pick ups are, but they are [b]Alnico single-coils[/b] and have a good vintage sound to them with plenty of output too.. On that note, this is a [b]passive[/b] bass, but at one time it would have had the stock Levinson pre-amp in it.. However, even without that, it still has a nice vintage growl to it and a very even tone across all the strings.. In fact, I have to say that for a 34" scale 5 string, the [b]B string[/b] is very, very good on this bass! Not sure how old this one is,but here's a link to the website which has details of the current B15 models: [url="http://www.bladeguitars.com/basses/b1-series/b15/"]http://www.bladeguit.../b1-series/b15/[/url] And as you can see from this GAK link, these basses used to retail at about £700 new: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/levinson-blade-b15-rc-penta-standard/3871"]http://www.gak.co.uk...a-standard/3871[/url] And here's a YouTube clip on one being played: [url="https://youtu.be/4lpGe5PLSjQ"]https://youtu.be/4lpGe5PLSjQ[/url] I'm happy to very carefully package this up and [b]ship[/b] it, though obviously I prefer it when people come and check out a bass in person, as it's always such a persona thing... So if you're interested and nearby, feel free to get in touch and arrange to come and have a play and a cuppa.. The bass will come supplied in a gig bag and will have an extra set of Carvin strings with it though they won't be fitted.. Any questions, please PM me or ask away here. Thanks for looking, Nik

I just purchased Dean's Thunderfunk 550B head and it was a really smooth transaction. Great communication throughout and the amp arrived safe and sound exactly when Dean said it would. Got to say that it was a pleasure dealing with Dean and I would certainly do so again - he's another great credit to the Basschat community, so deal in confidence folks! Fabulous sounding amp by the way Thanks Dean!

Good question Steve! Let me just check that with the Greek Government; I believe they are experts in this particular area of, how shall we put it, 'fiscal legitimacy'.... -

Looking good Folks! -
[quote name='lloyd1979_uk' timestamp='1436345610' post='2817224'] Thanks for the kind words chrismuzz and silverfoxnik. It is a great bit of gear, unfortunately I'm just not using it enough to justify keeping it as I also have a Fearful cab and two GS112s. PM replied to. [/quote] Sounds like you have a lot of nice gear!

SOLD!! (Lakland CAR Skyline JO5 with Sadowsky Pre) SOLD!!
silverfoxnik replied to chardbass's topic in Basses For Sale
Like a few other Basschatters, I've been tracking this thread for a while; firstly because I'm amazed at what a great price it is for such a quality bass, and even more so when you factor in the cost of that Sadowsky pre-amp in it!! I used to own a DJ5, so I know the quality of these Skyline Lakland's is good.. Anyway, I decided I was interested enough to PM chardbass about it and over the course of a few PMs going back and forth, I've discovered 1) what a thoroughly nice & upfront bloke Richard is, and 2) how good this bass sounds (as Richard put together some sound clips at my request) Ultimately, I've decided not to proceed with buying it because I think the 35" scale, 21 fret neck, might just be too much of a stretch for my (relatively) small hand span, but if that wasn't the case, this bass definitely would be heading to Silverfoxnik Towers right now! So, the least I can do now is encourage others who may be interested to check out the sound clips and also, give this cool looking, great sounding bass a free BUMP! GLWTS -
Fender Roscoe Beck V 1250€!! ****SOLD****
silverfoxnik replied to Basstardz's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1435662021' post='2811041'] Uh Oh someone is missing his old and lovely sound! [/quote] Very true, Sir! This looks like a lovely example and at a good price too, but to be honest, I'm not so keen on buying a bass at this sort of price anymore, without getting a chance to try it out first... Though it is very tempting.. -
I just bought a looper pedal from Liam which is a really great unit....I'm really am pleased with it. Liam is very easy to deal with, sends stuff out really quickly, but is also helpful to the point of going out of his way this weekend to do a quick mod on the pedal for for me so it now takes batteries - how cool is that? So, fellow Basschatters, you can deal with Liam in complete confidence! Another great example of what the BC community is all about! Thanks again Liam

Love this band; great front man, great players and a cool retro vibe. We used to cover 'Blues Hand Me Down' of theirs in my last band, and though most punters didn't know either the song or the band, it always went down great!
