Right, here we have a set of four Wilkinson elephant ear bass tuners in black, including all screws and bushels, I bought them to put on my hohner but dont need them anymore, as such they're unused and like new, good sturdy heavy duty quality tuners. They cost me 22 quid including postage but yours for SOLD


Next up are some Arctec Giovanni custom made P bass pups, I bought these off of Prose Bass a little while ago but again have become surpluss to requirements. The white wire has come away from tthe pups so that'll need resoldering back on, other than that good as new! now 10 quid including postage.

Alright folks Im having a clearout of all the bass related sh*te Ive collected and not used in a long time and first up are the following books-

The gig bag book of bass scales- 180 scales presented in standard notation and tablature - SOLD

Hal Leonard bass arpeggio finder - a book of 1,300 bass arpeggios - SOLD


Slap Bass essentials by Bunny Brunel, including CD - 7 quid including postage


Blood sugar sex magic basslines book- 6 quid including postage


Californication basslines book - 6 quid including postage

+1 I think it would of been more of an investment than a purchase

You have no idea how hard it was for me to not chuck a bid on this, no doubt I'll regret it at some point.

522 quid for a 90's neck thru thumb 5?

Warwick really are struggling to sell second hand

I kind of like the fact they are hand made and rough cut if you like, I think they have character, I'd love to have a go on one, theres an expensive one on ebay in the states that has EMG's and LED's on the side of the neck etc..

Its stateside and wont ship to the uk, but if it is a genuine early warwick a collector may be willing to fly over and pick it up,

here it is, what do you think?

[quote name='solo4652' post='301633' date='Oct 7 2008, 07:23 PM']Hi everybody,

I'm so fed up with looking for a good quality back-up P-bass, I gave in and bought this for £150. Let's hope It'll be alright when it arrives.

Steve[/quote]

I think you've done alright there, 150 quid isnt overly expensive and you could have done alot worse for that kind of money. give us a review when you get it

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='300827' date='Oct 6 2008, 08:28 PM']Ah... I snoozed, I losed!



Hmmm, see above. The nice Spector is now gone, so cash isn't an imperative. [/quote]

Ah well fair enough, if you change your mind and do decide to put a figure on it let me know and we can go from there, cheers
Kev

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='300148' date='Oct 5 2008, 07:54 PM']There's always a cash price in mind Ben

I do have to admit if I sell it there's a fair chance that SWMBO will spirit the money away for another house project, so a trade would be best. Saying that I do know of the whereabouts of a nice Spector which a sale might get me closer to...[/quote]

A pre 90's thumb is one ive been after for a while now, could you possibly pm me with a cash price in mind?
Thanks

[quote name='solo4652' post='296235' date='Oct 1 2008, 09:45 AM']Hi,

Here's a good-looking 1987 USA Peavey Fury for £185

[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peavey-Fury-USA-bass_W0QQitemZ290224112043QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item290224112043&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peavey-Fury-USA-bass...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url]

Any good as a back-up bass? Any thoughts? A bit dear?

Steve[/quote]

Peavey USA stuff is generally quite good it just never got the name for itself like fender did. No doubt a good sounding USA precision but yes its over priced, but still not expensive for what you get. I'd take that over a squire or mexican fender anyday. You can pick up vintage usa peavey stuff for around 150 quid in most cases except for the t-40

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='298703' date='Oct 3 2008, 03:21 PM']I considering buying it.[/quote]

Dont man, this guy is a pain to deal with, unresponsive and the bass has serious bucklerash and the pickguard is an actual ray pickguard and thus extra screw holes have been drilled into it and done very poorly at an angle

this is the bloke who scammed me, now he's relisted it as having a sterling pup, says it all

I'm sad it went to someone else but thank god because my bank balance couldnt handle it

arrrgh! Im in Morden and Im trying to save money!

yeah re stringing it so it has an extra high string as opposed to a low opens up all kinds of possibilities, definately give that a go

you are all misguided the rebop is one of the nicest basses Ive ever played

pm'd

Ok folks the results are in and Paypal awarded me all my money back including the amount I payed on postage so atleast I have my money back. Oddly enough, the evening before I got my money back from paypal, the seller finally contacts me, explaining to me that he's sorry for the delay in contacting me, but its his Dads account he was selling through. He said that he "didnt realise" the bass didnt have a sterling pup in it (b*llocks if you ask me) as he got the bass off a mate of his and he just put it straight on the bay, and that he'd give me my money back as his Dads paypal account had been suspended as a result. His fault as a seller for not knowing (or so he claims) what he was selling, but I get the feeling he did know as the auction description stated "[b]I've[/b] had a sterling pup put in it at cost of 70 quid" It took him 2 weeks to respond to me.
I get the feeling had his Dads paypal account not been suspended I wouldnt of heard back from him. He's lucky Ive offered to post it back to him. I then recieve a message from him asking me to remove the negative feedback he has recieved on his Dads paypal account. Which I dont know if I can do, and even if I could, I wouldnt.

[quote name='escholl' post='281192' date='Sep 10 2008, 02:49 PM']I've got Lindy Fralin's in my bass, and they're amazing...a bit more expensive but (i think) definitely worth it. if you're anywhere near cambridge, you're welcome to come have a go on my bass.[/quote]

Thankyou for your kind offer but unfortunately I'm in south London. Will let you all know what I end up with

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Despite what i've said before I have decided to throw in a new set of pups in my pbass, now, only question is....which ones? Feline guitars have told me they have some custom made Bare Knuckle pups that were made for them as they are a stockist, you cant see these on bare knuckles website because they were custom made for feline guitars, but at a price of 90 quid they are a bit pricey.
So what should I go with? I'm tempted by Di'Marzio as I've always heard good things about them, then again Ive heard good things about Seymour Duncans, then theres the traditional fender route, people here say good things about Wizard pups but I've never heard one, they really that good?
So, what do you think, if it were you, what would you go with, or what have you gone with in the past?

That is one fine looking thumb you have sir, good luck with the sale
