    I suspect that's as much about the vagaries of double basses - in which a £1000 instrument that's been well set up and well played in can play and sound a whole lot better than a £10,000 instrument that hasn't - as it is about the nature of dealers. But yes, point taken
  2. Beedster
    The problem is that upping the price to cover the dealer's commission might ensure that when it sells you get the money you wanted it also makes the bass less likely to sell in the first place so it's a vicious cycle.

    Have a look at the very high number of "Closed" threads in the Sale forums, in 99% of cases they are closed because the item sold 👍

    Selling it here will almost certainly cost you the least in terms of fees/commission by comparison with shops or most websites, it will mean that you can check out buyers ahead of entering into a deal (their feedback thread and their posts generally provide a very good clue as to whether you'd want them in your house trying out your gear), and will, at least to a degree, provide you with some support should you have any problems. I've bought and sold a lot of music gear over the years and this is by far the best place in the UK and probably in Europe to do so, especially something as niche as a 4/4 DB. Good luck 👍

    Lovely looking bass, perhaps a bit of a short sell describing it as a P-Bass though, two rather tasty humbuckers perhaps dispute that title. Good luck with the sale 👍

    Yes, two preamp channels, but sadly I don't have the footswitch but these things tend to be quite generic in my experience?
  7. Beedster
    Nice work 👍
  8. Beedster

    @silverfoxnik you do NOT need another amp mate But it is rather nice and rather unusual so I get it. Time to drive is not plentiful at present, very happy to send this to you on spec, pay me if you like it, send it back if you don't? Cheers Chris

    OK folks I'm closing this as I'm so bored with w*****s telling me I'm charging too much or not providing enough information and I really can't be arsed with it Chris
  13. Beedster
    It is
  14. Beedster
    Um, do you mean like........ In which case, yes I am And I don't have Facebook either 👍

    Rather a rare beast, designed by Marco of MarkBass fame, built in Italy, it's a versatile and well voiced unit. However, far too much gear and far too little space forces sale (studio build in progress also so money is more useful than amps at present) I'd prefer collection but can post, it is however not lightweight!

    Hey Ander, i have both a threaded bridge plus a set of threaded saddles/bolts/grub screws that will sit in a standard Fender BBOT bridge, might take a me a while to find them but hopefully today (we moved house recently and everything went into boxes in an outbuilding which I'm slowly working my way through at present, I need to get as much stuff gone as possible ASAP as I'm going to have to empty the outbuilding in question to build the rehearsal space hence the fire sale) 👍

    OK, first up some bodies (necks not included where relevant), PUPs etc included where pictured. All prices include delivery, if you want to collect from me in Whitstable we can haggle Black hand stained and waxed (by me) swamp ash, medium weight, yet to be drilled for pickguard etc £150 3TSB Squier P/J lightweight £150, the finish on this is rather nice BTW Squier Jazz, I have the piece that has chipped near the neck pocket and will repair before sending £125 Squier P/J, I have the 3-control tort pickguard for this also (jack is on side), pickguard included in price £100 No idea what this is £30 Telebass with Bareknuckle PUPs £325 Reclaimed Precision, glorious piece of wood £125 That, I think, is all the bodies. Will list necks next 👍

    Folks i have a lot of bass parts here as I'm always putting together and pulling apart Fender-alike bitsas. But I also have a rehearsal room/studio to build and pay for this summer and need money and no distractions so I'm going to put all bitsas builds on hold and sell all the parts here. While some of these have made lovely basses I'm taking them all apart and selling as parts. So, if you need some Fender-fit bodies/necks and various parts, keep your eyes peeled, I'm gonna be listing a LOT of bits later today 👍 Chris PS bit of a tease to keep y'all interested

    Recent purchase from @fluffo of this parish, just a bit too big for my needs at present. Collection preferred but can courier also. Stock photo below but will post pics of the actual unit later today. This is a very nice sounding cab, priced lower than I paid as I do need to make some space in the soon to be studio and get some cash for those very studio building costs

    If you’ll post I’ll take it (I’ll cover courier costs)?
  24. Beedster
    You’re asking me 😀

    I was thinking about you when I wrote the above post mate because I nearly wrote "There's very few of Flea's tones that you can't coax out of this", does everything from BSSM to the more mellow Jazz/flats tones of some of his more recent stuff. If I played fretted to any degree I'd keep it like this as the different PUP types and configurations are far more noticeable on a fretted with rounds than as a fretless with flats (funny thing about my frteless playing is that whichever bass I play - and when it comes to fretless I've had Precision, Jazz, 'Ray, Wal, Rick, Status, Sadowsky, and Warmoth, and they all sound like me rather than I sound like them......) Buy a lottery ticket mate, I'd love this (fretted version) to go to you 👍
