    Even with import charges I reckon this would be a good buy. Not for me as I can't stand red basses.

    Warren - this makes me wonder why the regular bass player is unavailable. Is it possible you are considering sacrificing more than perhaps he is in order to make it? But the bottom line is only you know how important it is going to be for you to do it - what, if any, repercussions there are going to be if you do or don't say yes. From an outside perspective my thoughts are that if, by agreeing to dep, you are likely to get a lot more paid work with the band then you could see it as an investment. If not then I personally feel it is taking advantage of your good nature.

    Bump for a proper, honest, solid bit of British craftsmanship

    Repeat of my last post from 2 years ago - except this time it was a Hohner B2ADB! Thanks Ian.

    Sold my fretless Westone Thunder 1A to Nick in the easiest of transactions - top chap. Good comms, immediate payment, friendly fellow.

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1440800784' post='2854062'] Very true - but I sooo badly want a Riverhead Unicorn [/quote] Gonna have to fight you over that when one appears, Jon... Funnily enough I was sitting on a project Quantum until selling it just a few days ago. Must be like buses.

    Great idea. Hohner B bass has a set neck...

    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1440691972' post='2853051'] Not 'based on'. The owners of said famous posteriors would make themselves available on a 'per gig' basis, their remuneration being based on their relative fame and the accomodative nature of their buttocks. Well, you can pay these people to come and open a supermarket or turn on the Christmas lights. Why on earth [i]wouldn't[/i] they want to hire out their butt-cleft as a neck rest? [/quote] Bilbo could get Vanessa Feltz in to park his 7 string bass....

    Due to the arrival and immediate promotion of my Trace Elliot head to 'best and favourite' this has been shunted down to order from 'back up' to 'surplus'. Mark Bass Little Mark Tube 800. I've not had it that long but liked it immediately. It has some scuffs and scratches but works perfectly. And loudly. Light as a feather. It has a strange arrangement of two inputs that I have never got my head around - both seem to do exactly the same thing - I am sure someone can enlighten us! Tube or solid state gain with a knob to blend between them - max over to tube gives a warmer more brittle tone but it is subtle. Pretty straight forward 4 band eq plus two knobs VLE and VPF that colour the sound interestingly. Took me about 30 mins of juggling the various knobs to find my sweet spot. (Ooh matron etc). Which for me was eq totally flat and then the two knobs at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock respectively. Someone else may hate that, of course. Master volume that you pull to mute. At the back there is a single speaker socket - combined jack/speakon. Effects send/return. Tuner out. Di that can be switched post/pre eq and a ground lift. Will come with kettle lead and packed in a lap top case it came with that fits it just nicely. Asking a realistic £300 collected from SS7, could possibly deliver a reasonable distance or meet half way for fuel, overnight insured courier to mainland UK would be £25. Payment can be cash, PayPal no fee or bank transfer. Not looking for trades just at the moment, thank you.

    ... who now owns it - what an amp!
  14. Paul S
    .... and that someone is me! Just received Alan's Trace Elliot head in a lightening quick transaction. I will copy and paste from his advert: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"This is the best amp I have ever owned, period. Everything on it works just perfectly. The moment I bought this one my amp search ended."[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nothing more to add. I used to have and love TE gear in the past, after a back injury sold it because it was too heavy. At 12kg this is easily portable and it simply feels like coming home. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thank you Alan.[/font][/color]

    Lots of admiration and one trade offer (looking for cash at the moment) but nothing concrete A beautifully crafted, top quality piece of English guitar history for the cost of a Squier!

    Bump for the perfect back up bass, in good nick with drop D tuner. I didn't talk about sounds. Can be played active or passive. Vol/vol/tone - active gives you stacked tone knob with bass/treble boost/cut. You can get a decent woody P-Bass tone out of it with the front pickup only, put both in the mix and it is more jazzy. But loud with high output. Currently has round wound strings but comes with spare flats - all double ball end. Little foldaway leg rest thingy is there and works just fine, too.

    Bump for this high-spec, beautifully refinished and astonishingly lightweight bass!
  18. Paul S
    It certainly is a thing of beauty, Rich. Oozes quality with all those little craftsmanship details. A piece of mid 80s bass history, too - all for the price of a new Squier.
  19. Paul S
    PM incoming.

    Bump for a great amp (used to be mine before I upped the watts and the ohms) at a ridiculously good price. Dunc is a top bloke to deal with.
  21. Paul S
    Sold pending the usual...
  22. Paul S
    We do seem to have similar taste in gear, that's for sure

    Rich just bought my Westone Quantum project - from saying he'd have it to pick up must be one of the quickest deals I have had here. Nice friendly fellow. Pics when it is done, please!
  24. Paul S
    Thanks Martin. HUGE price drop to £400.

    Sitting in its case not getting played. Selling my 1978 Shergold Meteor Deluxe. It is black with a gorgeous maple neck. Two humbucker pickups that can be switched for single coil and also out of phase, giving huge tonal range at your fingertips. The signature Shergold lacquer cracks are present but, otherwise, it is in remarkably good condition for a '78. Still has the perspex ashtray bridge cover, in fact. Sounds-wise it is leaning more towards Fender than Gibson but, mainly, it is its own thing. The double cutaway look is pretty cool, I think. Comes with an old - maybe original? - hard case. Plays itself, almost - far too nice for a powerchord disciple like me [s]£350 cash collected from SS7. can deliver within a reasonable distance for fuel or meet half-way. £25 will get it delivered to mainland UK by overnight courier - in which case PayPal no fee or bank transfer [/s] 6th September price drop to £325 including postage or £300 collected.
