  1. If I could I would!
  2. Great piece of kit. I use one every gig and it has never let me down. Good luck with the sale.
  3. Hi Pete Hope you are both keeping well. Yes, keep going as long as you can. I'm in 5 bands as now covering Jazz, Americana, Blues, Rock&Roll and Rock. They don't all gig on a regular basis but enough to keep the excitement there. Two of them are sit-down jobs so easier on the back and I've now bought a short scale passive 4 string from Alpher Instruments (both light weight and easier on my injured shoulder). It's a great instrument and a joy to play. I recommend trying them out. I'm lucky to have a supportive wife who encourages me to keep going. Take care my friend
  4. Just completed a trade of our amps with Andy. Met up to complete the deal and had a great chat with him. Great comms and really helpful with my subsequent questions. Great guy to deal with and a real credit to Basschat. Thanks Andy
  5. I have edited the post to reflect that. Thanks
  6. These are great amps. I have one and love its sound - the valve preamp makes a real difference. Good luck with the sale.
  7. Just sold some strings to Jon. Prompt payment and excellent comms. Great Basschatter.
  8. Set of brand new unopened 5 string set 45 - 125 gauge, nickel round wound strings. I bought these for a 5 string bass I bought but sold before I got round to fitting them. I only have 4 string basses now so these are surplus to requirements.
  9. Ah, thanks for letting me know. I'll edit it then. Kind regards
  10. Thank you, I couldn't have put it better myself. It's only an injury that won't heal that forces the sale I'm afraid. Kind regards
  11. Thanks Dave. it certainly is a beautiful instrument and so light too.
  12. Wow! This used to be my bass and I can testify that it is a superb instrument. On reflection I should never have sold it (massive seller's remorse!). Good luck with the sale.
  13. These are great amps and they don't come up very often. I have the 900 version and can testify to what the OP says about it. Good luck with the sale.
  14. These are superb instruments. I have an Alpher Cobia short scale and it's a joy to play. Good luck with the sale.
  15. Hi Luke It certainly is! Sad to have to sell it but I know my limitations now. If it sells I'll be tempted to order a short scale version. If you're tempted and want to try it feel free to pop over. Kettle will be on. Cheers
  16. Thank you. It's a stunner I must admit.
  17. Thanks Mark. It's a superb instrument.
  18. Thank you. It really is a beautiful instrument and it's in mint condition too.
  19. I never thought I would have to do this but since I ruptured my shoulder falling off a ladder, which resulted in a replacement shoulder operation, I struggle to play 34" scale basses for any length of time. I have therefore had to move to short scale basses and so I am selling some of my long scale instruments. So here is my 2018 Overwater Progress Series IV through neck 34” scale four string made for me by those brilliant guys in Carlisle. The body wood is ash with a walnut top and matching headstock and rosewood fingerboard. Hardware, pickups and preamp are Overwater’s own brand. Controls are volume and blend with a three band EQ. The volume knob has a push/pull application that brightens up the sound. When I had the bass made for me in 2018 I asked for the body to be chambered with the result that it weighs a mere 7.5lbs. It is a great instrument, in excellent condition, and comes with a Hiscox unbranded hard case. Sorry to see this one go but needs must I'm afraid. I must be realistic about it and accept that my limitations are not going to improve and it should go to someone who can make full use of it. The price new would be well in excess of £3,500 so I think I’m asking a fair price for it – but the market will decide I suppose. Payment by bank transfer and collection from Leeds although I am prepared to meet up within a reasonable distance from Leeds if that helps.
  20. Just sold my Jazz bass to Colin. We met up at Trowell services and had a great chat - he's a really interesting guy! Transaction was as smooth as silk with great comms. Deal with him with utmost confidence, a real credit to Basschat. Thanks Colin
  21. I could meet you half way if that would help?
  22. Hi Karabass The weight is 9lbs on my luggage scales. Regards Peter
