Friday bump!

friday night bump!

If you saw my other post for the Dean Edge 5, you'll see that the GAS got the better of me and I bought a couple of Spectors this month, and unlike some here, I don't need 10 basses(!!) so this bass is now available for sale. I bought it brand new last summer, with the intention of taking an angle grinder to it and doing some savage and unnecessary experiments on it...... No, none of that is true, I really thought it would be an interesting project start point to add new pups and a preamp.... I bought the Spectors instead, and this little baby was spared!! Anyway, I've only used it at two rehearsals, its in new condition apart from a tiny weeny nick in the paint on the back of the top horn, by the strap button, which was there when I bought it. It is now set up properly, with a brand new set of Elixir nanoweb Super Lights (Take a deep breath, spend 35 quid on ebay and never regret! Simply the best if you don't use a pick. Very slippery, fast and last 4 times longer than your standard 15 quid set. If anyone tells you the coatings come off, its because they scratched them when pulling the strings through the bridge when fitting. One day Elixir will see sense and make me an endorsee!!), it is also fitted with new Schaller straplocks, I'll throw in a strap with the locks on and it'll come in a fender gig bag. As many on here will agree, you cannot beat the Squier for value/playability, so this would make a great first five string. I can meet you anywhere within 50 miles of Exeter and its yours for just £120!! Library Image, but it does look like this!!

[quote name='Hit&Run' post='431787' date='Mar 11 2009, 06:46 PM']What kind of price are you looking at?[/quote] As said plays like a dream, it's in lovely condition with no knocks, dings or buckle rash, the elixirs are £35 a set (If you have never tried them, do!! Unless you play with a pick, you'll get 3-4 times the life of a standard set, and they are so slippery and fast to play), but I know times is hard... I'd ship it anywhere in the UK in a (tatty but solid) hard case for £220, or if you can meet me anywhere within 50 miles of Exeter its yours for £200.

The gas got the better of me and I bought a couple of Spectors this month, and unlike some here, I don't need 10 basses(!!) so this lovely little beast is now available for sale. It was bought from a fellow basschatter, about 18 months ago so I feel it ought to go back to one! Its in really great condition, has stupendously low action, plays like a dream, sounds fantastic and has a nearly new set of elixir extra lights on. I'll get some pics up as soon as possible. As for a price, I'm open to sensible offers, but bear in mind they are about £349 new and this is a really nice one!

Thank you for the link to this! Sadly for you, I've bought a nearly new condition 104HF from Hammer, here on Basschat, for not a great deal more than your asking price (bearing in mind its a 4x10, not 2x10), though, had I spotted this first it might well have been in touch! We certainly haven't have the luxury of comparing the various generations of MB gear here in the UK, and what you say may be true (I had very early Trace Elliot amplification in the 80's. It was 'effin brilliant kit then, but I happily allowed a couple of decades to pass before I looked seriously at it again! My poor back couldn't deal with the weight now though!), but I have to say, having used live now, the combination of my CMD151P combo and the 104HF is a just the best setup possible, and ideal for all sizes of venue, as smaller gigs can be done by the combo on its own.

Many thanks Ian, I took this to tonight's rehearsal, and all were VERY impressed!! My drummer (don't you just love them!), said it sounds " Hoofin'!! " I think I know what he means, but ideas on a postcard please....! Anyway, very happy with cab and new, bigger sound, thank you! Kevin
