Thanks Kev. I think it's outstanding that you've sold this instrument to benefit Caden's family. I still think about the little guy everyday, as I'm sure do many people who read the story. Every time my little girl plays with the Resonator, which she will love (she find anything that makes a noise fascinating and shiny objects even more so), it'll remind me just how lucky I am to have her.

[quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1354043775' post='1881389'] Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! You can't be serious - and that's a crazy, crazy price with those p/up upgrades..... If I hadn't just lashed out on a Kramer 650B at the weekend I'd be having this back....still might! Especially as it's yn Cymru [/quote] Been a while hasn't it Greg. What ya got.............?

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1353946238' post='1880065'] Love this instrument loads but the recent acquisition of a Sabre fretless (and recent move to rural Wales and no band action) means that I can't see me using it in anger any time soon, if ever. So, I may move it on given the right deal or volume of cash, and given the present economic climate a grand would prize it from my grubby little fingers (not a bad deal given that the bridge horseshoe alone was £250..... ) Chris [/quote] For our overseas friends 'a grand' = £1000

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1354044789' post='1881418'] Any pics? [/quote] I assumed there were some in the first page of the thread, I'll post some Chris

[quote name='gcordez' timestamp='1353954713' post='1880242'] I know that bass, and it's lovely. Chris is a top bloke also. Sorry to hear you are considering selling it again.. [/quote] Thanks Greg, yes, a lovely bass indeed, but just not getting played enough and with the recent move to the country and other things happening in more important areas of life, I'm not sure it will ever get played to the degree that justifies keeping it. As I said about my fretless Ric though, I won't be too sad if it doesn't sell Hope all's well mate Chris

[quote name='Stag' timestamp='1353954865' post='1880243'] Mega deal for a mega bass here... I thought this was "the one" tho Beeds? [/quote] It kinda is 'the one' mate, but I'm just not prioritising bass that much anymore, and much as I love this thing, could probably use the money on more important things right now. It's a unique instrument; as Greg said above, with the exception of the contours, it's to all intents a fretless v63 (only in my opinion better built and better playing than any of the v63s I've played (the neck is simply outstanding). Having said this, I'm not going to be heartbroken if it doesn't sell, I've been considering getting it fretted also, which would probably make it more useful for gigging. Well, gigging with beer anyway! C

Love this instrument loads but the recent acquisition of a Sabre fretless (and recent move to rural Wales and no band action) means that I can't see me using it in anger any time soon, if ever. So, I may move it on given the right deal or volume of cash, and given the present economic climate a grand would prize it from my grubby little fingers (not a bad deal given that the bridge horseshoe alone was £250..... ) Chris

Recent house move and change of priorities in many respects means that this lovely instrument is on the market again, either for cash (£3000 ono) or in an equivalent trade/PX deal, ideally involving a lower value DB, but I'm very flexible. Note that I'm now living in rural mid/north Wales so tryouts might be challenging! Having said that, several guys on here have played it and loved it so i'm sure any potential buyer would not be short of references! Happy to travel to accommodate a deal Chris

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1353618045' post='1876736'] Here's a clip of the guitar used on a track my friend David King recorded at home a couple of weeks ago: [url="http://soundcloud.com/davidkingmusic/swing-state?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=mshare&utm_medium=email&utm_content=http://soundcloud.com/davidkingmusic/swing-state"]http://soundcloud.co...sic/swing-state[/url] [/quote] Really enjoyed that track

If it hasn't gone by payday Kevin (end of next week) I'll definitely take it. Given the circumstances I hope that it has. C

Can I take this Lozz? If so, please PM me payment details Cheers Chris

Lovely bass mate, how about I come and sit in your attic with several buckets for 6 months and you give me the bass at the end?

That is a seriously good bass for the money, and once again GP, kudos for your playing, there'll be plenty of folks on here thinking "but you can't do that, that's not what a Ric's supposed to sound like...." Seriously wish I had £850 to spare C

Currently at £7.50 with a couple of hours to go. The case is probably worth £50 alone

[quote name='wildman' timestamp='1351881499' post='1856620'] Still available, we confirmed that it wouldnt take a four bolt Stingray Graphite neck !! [/quote] And I so wish it would, this is a great bass at a great price C
