Many thanks Roland. New iPhone now so will post actual pics tomorrow Trade-wise I'm only really looking for either a very high quality acoustic instrument combo or a Ric! C

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1386434239' post='2300105'] Bargain of the month! Is it too wet for you in North Wales Chris? [/quote] Too far from home, friends and family Keith. Love it here but miss too much of the important things in life to stay [quote name='philw' timestamp='1386437075' post='2300147'] Chris, Well the only thing I know about the Canterbury music scene is this bunch: [url="http://www.folkinthebarn.co.uk"]http://www.folkinthebarn.co.uk[/url] Might be worth getting in touch. Phil [/quote] Thanks Phil, I've played with a few of the guys who gig there regularly. Canterbury's very folk at present

Hiya Sean, good to hear from you, all's well mate, hope all's OK with you. I dropped my iPhone and smashed the screen today so pics will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. To my eye it's more Fender Bassman than Ampeg, to my ear pure Ampeg, just subtract 80% of the weight of either EDIT: I'm not 100% sure I'd want to put a Bass 400+ on top of it though. It would sound awesome for sure, but in that case it would probably make the rig quite top heavy?

[quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1386405084' post='2299671'] Absolutely love this and if there was any chance of me playing long-scale or fretless, I'd snap it up. One of the very few basses currently on BC that's under-priced (IMO of course)...and from one of our most respected members. This has got to be a winner for somebody [/quote] Thanks Loz, that's very kind of you. It's a lovely bass but I've just put it back in its case and it's going under the bed for a while. I'm going to have a think about whether I sell it, gig it, or keep it as an investment for 20 years time

Thanks guys, PM replied, and very happy to send this via courier. Don't get me wrong, as Roland and Billy have pointed out, this is a great cab and I'm still very tempted to keep it, even though it'll probably get two outings per year. However, we have a big very house here and we won't have quite that luxury when we move back south, so this is on the hit-list so to speak. I'm not going to lose any sleep if it doesn't sell though

TI flats, action about as high as Danni's little sister, lovely player

I try to sell things for what I believe they're worth not for what I can get for them, but I recently bought a Wal fretless that's going to need a bit of work and which was perhaps a little overpriced, so I did so with the intention of selling the case to pay for some of the work. £200 is ludicrous for a case but it appears to be ballpark for Wal cases on eBay. It's fur lined, chocolate brown leathery look, all latches and handle are working. It housed a mid-80's Mk1. Pics on their way, dropping my iPhone and breaking the screen whilst taking pics of it earlier has no doubt added a few hundred quid to the overall cost of the Wal!

Hi folks, many thanks for the comments (and Phil, thanks for the offer of contacts, we're moving back to our old stomping ground of Canterbury). The beast sold to a gentleman in - appropriately enough - Leeds within about 20 seconds of having been listed last night. I'll reply to PM's later when I'm back at home Cheers Chris

Stonking bass that's leaving the herd ahead of a move back to England and the associated need to free up both money and space. Original listing at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/197826-sold-fsft-fender-precision-bass-for-sale-much-improvedmodified-l500-sold/page__hl__precision+fralin__fromsearch__1."]http://basschat.co.u..._fromsearch__1.[/url] This is an extremely light and extremely resonant instrument that really is not all that far off any of the pre-CBS Precisions I've owned. It now had original Fender ashtrays that add hugely to the vintage vibe. I'll post some pics of these over the weekend. C

I can now post this also C

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1386374180' post='2299574'] Only surprising not to see Ian Dowie in that line-up Ps, looks like a ridic bargain, Beedster. the bridge and strings make up half or more of your price. Someone have this fast [/quote] Interestingly The Beast's early 70's Leeds Utd credentials are good. We did a festival a few years back. I left The Beast on its side at the back of the stage, where in true Hunter/Bremner-esque fashion it tripped and upended the soundguy, very nearly breaking his ankle.

A reference point.... [attachment=149999:leeds-squad-1971-1972.jpg]

A few more details, it's a biggish 3/4, flatback, E flat stop, ply construction, and built like a tank. It's loud and projects well, and having used it with a number of PUPs and mics it amplifies very well without significant feedback issues. It will need to be collected from me in or near Aber. At the price it's worth the journey.

It's with a heavy heart that I sell this old thing. Uglier than the Leeds United team of the early 70's and about as subtle, it has does however posses a number of charms, not least of which is that for bluegrass and similar I'd guess it's pretty much unbeatable. It was the DB on which I started, and one that several people have fallen in love with for reasons I certainly can't explain (it is in fact known as 'The Beast' among my friends). It had a setup last year and had an adjustable bridge fitted. We're moving back down to the south east and two DBs will be a luxury in terms of space that I simply can't afford so it has to go soonish. I'll stick some decent strings on for you also. C

Amazing cab at what it does, it just that what it does isn't really my thing. Whilst I'd love to keep it as an option, an impending move back to the south east means that I'm going to have to downsize substantially, so my 1x15 is staying and this isn't. The sound is classic, the weight not so, it is quite literally a one handed lift which is more than can be said for the 100w head I match it with. It has had, literally, two hours play time. The wait list for these is about 3 months and the new price about £250 more than I'm asking.
