In case any of the Gentlemen tagged above would care to comment as to my buying tendencies.

Got an Epifani UL212 cab from Nigel, a while ago now.

Great to deal with, suffice to say we're Facebook friends and members of the excellent Basses and Amplification Group in the exalted company of luminaries such as Leland Sklar Neil Murray and Kinga Glyk.

All you need is spud.

Appears to be one available from Japan £1400 plus free postage.

Also , what sort of chair/stool are you using. Does it allow good posture/comfort ?

Or try the Laney Nexus Valve that's on evilbay for £600 at the moment. Volume not a problem at 400watts. Check out what @la bam had to say about this beast. I tried one when I was picking up a Nexus cab in Brum - don't need it but if I had the Cash GAS would have struck.

That (maple ?) back is simply gorgeous.

If it wasn't collection only I'd have that Sire.

A bit too far from the frozen North for me!

£185 a total bargain for sure. Auction over for both that and Gibson. Don't think the Sire sold. May reappear I suppose.

Now on bass direct for £1,499. If anyone wanted it they should have bid £800 on ebay 2 months ago! 

They do seem to like their mark-ups.

There seems to be one eBay bidder snapping up nice lefties at present.

A Gibson Les Paul tribute roadworn on eBay at present, bidding @ £475. Bidder appears to be same guy that picked up the Aria above.

Same vendor has a Sire version 2 V7 lefty bidding starting @ £185. Almost bid but I REALLY don't need another Jazz Bass.

EBS still available ? PM sent.

Still available ???

Really dreadfuk

High value items very sad. Sounds as though they were lunk/crack heads though. It appears they simply wrenched them from the wall hangers as they didn't know how to work them.

Mine has flats, (make unknown), but is quite bright, not muddy, the tone control is very effective. Overall very well made and setup for a lovely action. I'm the 2nd owner and it was well looked after so a fine example.

The reason I posted the ad' was you don't see many lefties and if mine is typical then judging by the photos this may be a nice instrument. I paid £150 for mine several years ago. It would be good to try before buy.

Just found this old photo of my Aria & my Tokai.

The 2 share the same shape but sound completely different.

 

Put a offer in on this but it went for the asking price of £310. Tried one of these in 1985 also a lefty. Sounded like a very good P Bass to me.

The Pete Way one is salutary reading, underlines the resilience of the human body I guess.

Mr Linder's a phenom. Works well with the v deft drummer too.

I’ve never been able to feel quite the same about butter since seeing “Last tango in Paris” as a tender youth.     Certainly wouldn’t put it on a bass.....
