    Thanks guys

    Is this a special edition made in the US for the Japanese market? Has the neck been re finished? Sorry, I only ask as I've never noticed one without the "made in San Luis Obispo California USA" on the back of the headstock

    Great basses these, IMO. Quite light, good bridge, slightly slimmer P nut width, pup can be aggressive if pushed. Shouldn't have sold mine, somebody's gonna be happy soon. GLWTS

    I have had three offers of basses for these cabs, one was very close but unfortunately 5 string. Was still tempted though. Does a 5th string make a good thumb rest Although the specs are linked in post #1............. One cab has a 12" speaker, plus a 6" mid range speaker, plus a tweeter. One cab has a 12" speaker, plus a 6" mid range speaker and NO tweeter Both cabs have thick TKS covers. As requested I have looked at courier. Due to weight, dimensions and relatively high value, EACH cab would cost just under £40 UK insured courier delivery (still £20 less than Barefaced charge for delivery on a Super Twin). As stated I'm prepared to do a decent bit of driving at no cost to buyer. Cheers, Karl.

    He's not been on since Feb 1st. Might be an idea to pm him, although it's possible he's been, he's sold, he's gone.

    [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1456424641' post='2988951'] Ooof that's a bit nice. Very 'Betsy'! [/quote] If you are interested, don't hesitate, that's a bargain price for a profit making retailer and I would almost guarantee Mark won't have it in the shop for long

    And here's one at around the price they normally go for (thanks haimsey ). And THIS seller knows what he's doing http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Jazz_MIM_FSR_60s_RI.html If I hadn't agreed to buy a Barefaced Super Twelve two days ago ...............................

    [quote name='largo' timestamp='1456313362' post='2987633'] deksawyer? [/quote] [quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1456315485' post='2987669'] Aye! I would have bought these if I hadn't ordered 2 Eich 115XS cabs at the end of last week. Timing all round sucks!! These cabs are pretty much all you could ask for and I've played through these actual cabs. Very, very nice and also light. Best of luck with the sale. D. [/quote] [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1456317429' post='2987712'] Oh, for crying out loud Karl...PM'd... [/quote] Thanks guys. Couple of pm's replied, but not much interest as yet. Yup, timing is everything . I simply had to go for the Barefaced as it might be a long time before the next with that spec comes up. And, if I don't see it in time, might miss out again. I do need to sell/trade these in the next couple of weeks though, or the B/F will have to go back up. I KNOW that would sell

    I keep having a look at this, what a wonderful bass

    [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1456300144' post='2987438'] Surprised to see these. I tried them up at Bass Gear and they are brilliant. I just opted for the S112s. Absolute ridiculous price too. Cracking bit of kit for someone. GLWTS but i dont think you'll need it [/quote] Cheers. Long been after a used Barefaced as it's 1 x 4 less trips per night, and the BF I had was a great compromise. Whilst even at my age, I can carry both of these cabs at the same time, I don't. Too many bloody doors at the gigs I do. [quote name='richardd' timestamp='1456301651' post='2987449'] You get worse Karl . [/quote] Correct Rich

    POSSIBLE trade ideas; Both cabs for post 2013 US Precision or Jazz. One cab for Markbass TTE 500 So that's the kind of thing I'm looking for, just to give folk an idea. CASH is obviously king though Willing to meet up between Carlisle/Stafford/Leeds at no extra cost Specifications; [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/tks-engineering-1126/"]http://www.bassgear....gineering-1126/[/url] Light at 16kgs. Powerful, oh yes One cab has tweeter, so new would be £804 One cab doesn't, so new would be £729 Both cabs have vertical option and TKS covers. Both new with this spec would be £1533 I got them a few weeks back, from Mcnach, for £800, a bargain. Superb condition. A bit of paint missing on one handle. Cash sale, £800 for both or £425 each. Only reason for sale is I've finally managed to get my favoured 1 cab solution, a Barefaced Super 12. If these don't go in a couple of weeks, I will need to consider selling that as I can't afford to keep all three . ONE of these cabs would be a good match with the Orange Bass Terror, with it's 4/8 ohm switch. Plenty of comments on TKS in the GEAR forum, Amps and Cabs Section. Any trial in Wigan. Feedback at bottom of post. Delighted to answer any questions. Cheers, Karl.

    Dear God, that Blue Umbo Ahem, focus. Don't suppose you are heading north in the near future? Very tempted by the TTE.

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1456084336' post='2985270'] Lusting after a Hellwood but with a wenge neck (just love the feel of them) and purpleheart instead of padouk... [/quote] That's the one I keep going back to lust at. A passive one like that Sadly, can't be arsed to sell another bass, I'm drained
  19. karlfer
    For what it's worth Marc, I think it's the FEEL of the metal plate that gets folk a bit twitchy. Kind of subconscious "not used to this, something is wrong". But you do quickly get used to it.

    [quote name='Urban Bassman' timestamp='1455874626' post='2983088'] You might get some questions such, as how much is the reserve? You might also get some chancers asking how much to end it early. If you've set a reserve then stick to it. Also make sure you've set your shipping terms IE no shipping overseas. You can also restrict bids to people with no feed back or negative feedback. Worth looking at these if you weren't aware? [/quote] I'm one of those chancers . I only use FEEBay to advertise stuff. I STATE QUITE CLEARLY on the advert, that the item is advertised elsewhere at a considerably lower price. I then wait for the emails enquiries to come in. Lets say I wanted to clear £800 plus £30 (insured courier) on an item. It would be advertised here at £830 including insured UK courier. As PAINPal and FEEBay between them would charge me 13.4% (including COURIER costs) that would be £111 So, I would actually clear £719 on FEEBay. To clear £830, I would need to put it on FEEBay at £955 inc UK delivery (£955 x 13.4% = £128, £955 - £128 = £827). THAT is why so many basses are now stupid expensive on FEEBay. And yes, you MUST offer PAINPal. There is a seperate, pinned post in Basses for sale on that particular joy.

    Another fabulous bass. Another fabulous advert. I know I can't sell two of my reserve basses in time to buy this. So I'm not going to be the lucky one Good luck Si, won't take long that 'un.

    Just done a deal with Chris in a dodgy, VERY windy service station Yet another of the Basschat lovely bloke brigade (with long suffering other half in tow). The bass was in super condition, a credit to him. Very easy deal, Chris is fully recommended, a pleasure Mr .

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1455986462' post='2984323'] But I know plenty of bass players who aren't... and don't/can't do their own set-ups so I'm not sure on the shops around here. [/quote] So, You accept it. Shops accept it. Difficult to relate how many lost sales that has cost. The shops loss perhaps?

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1455976987' post='2984158'] Often wondered on this - it takes me some 15 - 30 mins to get a bass with good action and playability. Why then do music shops not spend that time, as I`m sure many people try out instruments and don`t buy them thinking they`re crap, rather than just in need of a decent tweak. [/quote] Amen to that Lozz. I'm sure most shops would say it's down to cost. There again, how often do you go in a music shop and see 3 or 4 staff just standing round banging their gums? Bit of good training? Better use of staff in slower spells? Doesn't seem impossible to me

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1455975654' post='2984138'] That's the problem though isn't it. One in a shop can be amazing, the other 25 in the same shop appalling. [/quote] Not my experience. Perhaps I'll go to PMT or somewhere and try 26 Sadly few shops actually set up basses properly anyway.
