    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='555430' date='Jul 29 2009, 06:48 PM']The insurance company will have a claim on it. Sadly if a whole chain of people have bought this bass for a fair price in good faith then a lot of people have a claim to it and it's probably best left in my experience unless you want an expensive court case. These issues are far from straightforward. One of my basses is a special edition purchased without a case or certificate from 'Crack-Converters'. Both I and the previous owner carried out our own checks to try and ascertain if it was stolen and came up with nowt. What more can you do?.[/quote] Hi Peter Thanks for that explanation..that's pretty much how it is. My interest is purely one of nostalgic curiosity rather than wanting to get into any impossible to prove claim.. As you say, a lot of people will have owned this bass and bought it in good faith (over the last 22 years or so since it was stolen) and therefore, have not done anything wrong. Nik

    Thanks guys!! As far as the law goes, I think if you've been paid out by the insurance company (and we were), then you forfeit you claim of ownership on the stolen item.. Not sure about that exactly, but it would make sense if you think about it. I'm waiting for a reply to an email from Paul and will also check to see if i have the original receipt somewhere.. That's funny about the Dexys!! And then again, it's not... Nig; plenty of memories about both Clink & Terminal.. Prime Time was on the 3rd floor of the same building as Clink IIRC..

    I'm almost 100% certain that used to be mine before it was stolen from me in 1987! For nothing more than sentimentalty's sake, I'm going to contact Paul at Wal to see if he can check in the book for me.. I bought in 1983 from a long-since defunct music shop in Barnet, London and it was my first ever Wal.. Did a few tours with it and then it was stolen from a rehearsal studio called Prime Time in London Bridge where we were based.. Turned out the guy who did the break in was Dexy's Midnight Runner's drummer and though he was nicked, we never got any of our gear back!!

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='554444' date='Jul 28 2009, 09:16 PM']It was trying CK's Shuttle 6.0 with the first ever Compact at the SE Bass Bash last September that got me interested. Funny thing is that my main rig is a U5/PLX so you'd think I'd prefer a Markbass head. My problem now is going to be what to gig with? A Big One, a Vintage, a Compact, a Midget/Compact. Decisions, decisions... First thing first is to find how just how loud this micro-head can push the Big One! Alex[/quote] I remember watching that momentous event happening last year Alex! Very interested to hear what you have to say once you try the various combinations out..

    [quote name='chris_b' post='554210' date='Jul 28 2009, 05:37 PM']Pete Stevens built a 3 octave fretless bass for Steve Chesney, but I don't know of any 36 fret Wal basses. Also, I haven't seen any through neck Wal basses.[/quote] I've never seen a through-neck Wal either; I think that Pete & Wal felt that a properly made bolt-on provided more than enough sustain.. Great idea this thread - should it be made into a sticky at some point Mods???

    Just had the pleasure of dealing with Neil, a.k.a. Banana, who has just bought an SWR 210 from me.. Though Neil is based in Spain, communicating with him was as easy as anything and he was great to deal with. All round, a first rate transaction! Thanks Neil - hope you enjoy using the cab.. Nik

    [quote name='Banana' post='554224' date='Jul 28 2009, 05:50 PM']I bought Nik's SWR 2x10. He was truly great to deal with, flexible, helpful, reasonable and it was just a pleasure. Thanks Nik, really appreciate it all.[/quote] Many thanks Neil.. Much appreciate you buying it in the first place!! Will leave you some feedback now as well... Nik

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='553639' date='Jul 28 2009, 10:18 AM']I'll take the Soundcraft and Tascam please mate.[/quote] Some other Basschatters have PM'd me about the TASCAM & Soundcraft, but in the interests of fairness, I am going to have to apply the 'first come, first served rule so likewise John, PM on it's way to you about these two items... Jack; I bought the bright box from Amps 'n' Bits in Worthing 2 years ago as an experiment to use with my (then) GK700RB head and a Marshall 412 to try to bring out the hi-end in my sound via the GK's bi-amp system. The bright box was quite good actually but I moved the Marshall on in the end as it wasn't really the sound I was looking for, so the bright box has sat around unused since then. Not much more I can say about it really.. Hope that helps!

    [b]ON HOLD PENDING PAYMENT..[/b] Hi Folks, I recently bought this [b]Boss LS-2[/b] [b]Line selector[/b] pedal from Stickman to use during gigs where I have an active bass & a passive bass (with very different output levels) going into one input on my Eden Nemesis amp. But, now that I've upgraded my rig to the 2-channel Eden Metro, this brilliant pedal is now surplus to my requirements. [attachment=29727:Jul_09_099.jpg] [attachment=29726:Jul_09_098.jpg] [attachment=29725:Jul_09_096.jpg] The [b]LS-2[/b] is an excellently designed unit as many Boss stomp-boxes are; really well made, simple to use and it's in fantastic condition and perhaps most importantly, it does so many other things over and above what I bought it for! Being realistic though, I know I won't make use of all of those capabilities.. To give you an idea of what it can do, here's a link to some [b]Harmony Central[/b] reviews which explain a lot more about it: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Boss/LS-2+Line+Selector/25/2"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...e+Selector/25/2[/url] As you can see from the pictures, it comes in the original box with the manual, is in very good condition and works perfectly! So, bearing all of that in mind, I'd like to get back what I paid for it, which was: [b]£45 inc p&p[/b]. Any questions, feel free to PM me or just ask away here. Thanks for looking! Nik

    That's a really nice looking bass! Don't see them too much here but, having read a bit about them on TalkBass, it seems that the SB-2's are highly rated across the pond.. Good luck with the sale!

    That's a bargain!!

    [quote name='henry norton' post='552393' date='Jul 27 2009, 10:20 AM']Nice to see so many still going by the way.[/quote] +1 There's been a fantastic bass-making tradition in this country that's worked in tandem with some of the most innovative bass players of the last 30-40 years to help push bass guitar to the fore in popular music, and long may it continue!
