    A beautiful bass - I had one of exactly the same spec some years ago. Your price of £21,500 does seem high! Too many zeros perhaps? 🤔
  2. binky_bass
    Yup. That one. Should have kept it! T'was mine before it was Bill's. I sold it to a guy who bought it for his father in law as a birthday present, pretty sure that father in law was Bill!

    When there is one of something, it's automatically worth billions - didn't you know??

    An article in the BBC about 'super rare' 5 neck guitars from Hutchins being sold at auction... oh yeah, well I had a SIX neck version so 😝 If it has loads of strings, I've probably owned it!! Appreciate this is a completely pointless post... feel free to move along! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjevveglx88o.amp

    Hi, Up for sale here is a very decent heavily padded Proel guitar gig bag, can also fit super short scale basses! All zips work fine, no issues or tears anywhere. £25 collected from Wickford, Essex or £35 posted.

    Hi all, Up for sale is this perfectly respectable Voyager branded semi-hard case. It's in good condition, no zip issues or breaks anywhere, it's lightweight and good and sturdy. It'll house most basses, happy check a specific bass if you give me the details. £35 posted or £25 collected from Wickford, Essex. Bass not included! Dirt cheap for a decent case... Russ.

    Hi, I have a massive surplus of straps! So this one (and probably others) needs a new home. This is a Canadian Made strap (a Steph OT-901 to be specific), it's suede with a leather insert, fully adjustable from 35"-ish to 50"-ish. It's used but in good condition. The 3.5" width and padded suede underside make it really very comfortable. £20 collected from Wickford, Essex or £25 posted. Any questions, please ask!

    Hi, Up for sale here is my Ibanez RX40, it's a Korean made HSS strat in white, I've just restrung it today and given it a decent set up as it has sat unused for some years! The action is really nice and low, it plays and feels great. The white has discoloured a bit over time to a slightly off-white cream, as have the plastics, but to my eyes it looks better not being bright white! Subjective of course... The Proel gig bag is great quality, these are near £50 on their own. I am happy to post it, but this is at the buyers risk and uninsured. Collection from Wickford, Essex for £90 or posted for £100. Any questions, please ask!

    Hi all, Up for sale here is my Vintage V900 bass (pretty sure it's a V900!) It's an active bass, small body, nice and lightweight too. I've just put some 'nearly new' strings on it as the ones that were on it probably hadn't been changed in a decade! I've given it a bit of a set up and a battery change as it has sat unused for some years so now the action is nice and low (probably could go lower if you wanted) and it sounds and feels great! I'd say condition wise it's a very solid 8/10 with a few minor zings here and there but all very minor! It'll come with a Voyager branded semi-hard case as seen in the photos. Collection from Essex for £90 or posted (uninsured and at your risk!) for £100. Any questions, please ask.

    If I didn't have a UL610 I'd snap this up... Sounds immaculate paired with a UL901!
  13. binky_bass
    I'll lob Binky in the mix...

    I've already edited my post to remove that comment. I'd understood your comment to be suggesting just that one single line you quoted was the entire description.

    Why did you have to post this? I don't have a grand to spare!

    My guitarist uses an all valve UK made Series One 100w head and 410 cab that he keeps in my practice space and that I 'occasionally' use. Made by the same chaps that made Marshall amps. It sounds excellent and is absolutely a quality product. Never personally used their bass amps though.
  17. binky_bass
    Go used, buy both. Solved.

    That neck looks awesome, but I have to say the knob spacing looks quite odd! Was that a custom request? Still, a stunner of a bass.

    Just gives everyone a fair chance to be at the top of the pile! These Aliens are miles apart from the thinline ones available at the moment. Great build quality and tone!
  20. binky_bass
    Etiquette is to not bump within 36 hours. Lovely bass, it have an Alien 6. Fantastic preamps.

    Bought a set of 6 Hipshot tuners from Nick for a great price on Friday, he posted them on Monday and they arrived on Tuesday and we're fitted 10 minutes later! A great transaction all round, really pleased with now having my Warwick LX6 back up and running with much better quality machine heads than the stock ones... @castlemaine22 is another credit to BassChat! Cheers sir. 👍 Russ.

    Of course announced AFTER tickets have sold out... I mean it was fairly obvious his appearance would be very limited, and tickets would have sold out even if they said this before hand, but doing so directly after tickets have sold out feels very underhanded.

    I have 5 ACGs at the moment, I think I've owned another 5 or 6 over the years. I have two 33" 6ers, a 34" 9 string, a 24" 6 string and a 7 string headless guitar. All are fantastic beasts. The 34" 9 is absolutely crystal clear across the strings - the glassy clarity of the treble strings really makes for a writers instrument. The two 33" 6ers are both Salace E-Type basses - my personal favourite body shape by far for looks and ergonomics. The Bs are perfectly useable, I'd suggest buying the ACG specific 33" Newtone Strings. The 24" 6er does suffer a little bit when played unplugged in terms of feel and sound because of the much shorter scale, but still sounds massive plugged in. For context, I've owned at least one of almost all known bass brands over the years from the cheap to the highest end boutique basses money can buy and ACG (as well as Conklin, BeeBasses and Warwick) are the ones I always come back to and certainly the ones I have owned the most of! It helps that Alan is a great guy to order a custom bass from, plenty of regular communication, questions answered very quickly and photos sent all along the journey. Sound wise, the below song was recorded with a 33" ACG Salace E-Type 6 string. https://open.spotify.com/track/3PQ5cf4uIpFgrZJojwHbMH?si=z0oZY-F7SgeW0ZoWP-tL0A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3rKKrxENJGOLArJ4sxEFpq This is the 9 string (when I was 7 stone heavier!) This is a Salace 6 33" (a very quick demo): And this is the 7 string guitar a few years ago with me just noodling about: Hope that helps! Happy to answer and questions should you have any. Russ.

    This used to be mine, bought it brand new from GuitarGuitar during a ridiculous sale they had a couple of years ago. It's a monster... Nearly bought it back from Bunion a few weeks back but it wasn't quite the right timing. Wish I did given the 'circumstances' of the discussed sale!
  25. binky_bass
    I think you'll find that's a futon sir! But yes, screams dodgy to me...
