[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1397252792' post='2422348'] I've been wanting one of these for ages, and on the rare occasion one comes up - I've just had to pay a hossing great vet bill. B*****ks! [/quote] If it's a pony I'll take it in trade? Re the above post, it can be collected from either Canterbury Kent or Aberystwyth Wales. Postage is of course an option

Lovely little thing, and whilst a little runt-ish, is ludicrously good at what it does. I bought it to keep in my office for when I fancy some lunchtime EUB action, but somewhat bizarrely in doing overlooked the fact that we have a little used anechoic chamber downstairs where I can practice with something bigger. I'm therefore ideally looking for a PX for something bigger but still portable e.g., Markbass/PJB. The Micromark's not really a giggable amp despite what others have said (OK, it might work in 'reinforcing' a DB or acoustic bass), but it is absolutely perfect for the living room or office. Will quite literally fit in a desk drawer and can be carried in a small rucksack [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/MBMicro_zps20f7a8f0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/MBMicro3_zps65b9fc24.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/MBMicro2_zpsc1c29a26.jpg.html"][/url]

Yes please, can you PM me payment details Thanks Chris

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1397080922' post='2420564'] Think Beedsteer is after one of these maybe worth sending him a PM? [/quote] Indeed I am, and Steve and I have discussed this beauty on several occasions trust me. It is, to all intents, my dream Ric, Macca model with the unbound neck (and dots not sharkfins), unbound body with very very nice contours, Fireglo finish, but most importantly VT control on the bridge PUP (the lack of which IMO is a MAJOR issue on some other Ric RIs such as the v63, rendering the neck PUP extremely weak in relation to the bridge PUP and severely restricting the combination of tones). If Steve wanted something I was selling or I could find the cash, this baby would have been living with me long ago

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1394902987' post='2396530'] stunning beedster stunning! [/quote] [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1394987373' post='2397411'] I own and have owned all kinds of high-end, upmarket basses of various types, and these basses really are up their with the[u] very best [/u]of them. Think NYC Sadowsky/ USA Lakland/ Aleeva Coppollo / F Bass kind of quality, both in terms of sound and build , and you are getting some idea of the kind of level these instruments are on . They really are one of the best basses that money can buy, and as such are a bit of a bargain even at the full retail price. This is a mint condition example with a known ownership history of being well looked- after and hardly used , and with the added appeal of being the incredibly rare MX version with a maple fingerboard, all at a very reasonable price . As such, this bass will make some new owner very happy rather soon, I expect. One of the best and most appealing basses I have ever seen for sale on Basschat. GLWTS. [/quote] [quote name='molan' timestamp='1395265001' post='2400533'] I was really sceptical about these until I actually played one. So much nicer than I imagined, a really top quality instrument! [/quote] [quote name='kulabula' timestamp='1396385576' post='2413077'] Ooooh if I had the cash! I have the BB1024X, and it is fantastic. Better than the fenders and stingrays to my ears. [/quote] And for all those reasons I've decided to keep it. The 'I don't need it' argument is short sighted as I will no doubt need it at some point, and the balance of classic/contemporary styling with classic/contemporary sounds means that it's going to sit comfortably in a number of settings. I feel better already

What a lovely looking bass

[quote name='gridchin' timestamp='1396967783' post='2419225'] I'm afraid I don't understand what do you mean by cut and paste. I can't cut and paste neither edit or delete someone else comment. I'm not starting a new thread because I'm not agree with the fee we all have to pay for just posting a new bass, even if we can't sell it. It would be fair if we pay for the tread if the bass is sold or traded through this website. If you disagree feel free to pm me. [/quote] What I mean is that you cut out the old pictures and pasted in new pictures. By doing this you're suggesting, deliberately or otherwise, that people have made positive comments about the bass above, which they haven't. Gear here sells on trust as much as on price and reputation, i.e., members trust the collective responses of other members to FS threads. And BTW, re fees, if you list something on eBay and it doesn't sell you still pay fees. Other members here pay the fees, so why should you be different? You're trying to sell a £2k+ bass and won't pay £7 to do so?

So yes, you did cut and paste and have several posts saying what a great bass when they were posted about a different bass? Why would you not simply start a new FS thread if it's a different bass?

So you cut and paste your threads to make it appear that loads of folks have made positive comments about the bass? Seems a bit dubious?
