    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

    No help, but that's my favourite Eagles song ever and I'm a massive fan of over 40 years standing

    [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

    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.

    [quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1455970972' post='2984074'] Oh bugger, that massively rules me out, then - only two Precisions and two Jazzes here! Mind you, the MIJ Jazz I had was a lovely and special thing - only sold it cos I decided to move 100% to 5 string playing. But anyway, yes, I agree, it never ceases to amaze me how many people are happy to bash bass brands that they've never owned. Actually, it goes for all sorts of other things, too. For example, I've noticed that there are quite a few folks on BC who like to bash Apple, and loudly boast that they have never owned an Apple product in their lives and never will. I mean, WTF?! [/quote] [quote name='ead' timestamp='1455972650' post='2984099'] I'm right in the ball park for ACGs then .....unless that is you don't mean either 47 or 214. [/quote] Ahh chaps, so good to see gentle piss taking alive and well on BC Only Fender (there's been a few ) I've ever been massively disappointed in was an Aerodyne jazz. Top edge designed by Torquemedes and absolutely awful weak pups

    [quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1455968659' post='2984032'] I came back to your thread here Karl, as it is being sold an another Facebook group (not the one you commented on) by the person who you call the original seller, so one bass, two different sellers (albeit the same surname). Steve [/quote] Yup, it's frying my brain Steve

    [quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1455964376' post='2983973'] Fair point, and obviously expressed with a bit of tongue-in-cheek hyperbole, but just out of interest, in your opinion how many Fenders (or basses by any manufacturer) would someone actually need to have owned in order to be qualified to offer a useful opinion about them? [/quote] 47, 214 per manufacturer

    Splendid advert that man I keep looking at this on Facebook, and trying to justify buying it. I can't . It's a great amp at a great price but annoyingly I just don't need it. Somebody is going to get happy
  24. karlfer
    Thanks lads. As I understand it, there were; 62 US RI's 62 Japan RI's 62 Custom Shop RI's. But NOT a specific, official 62 MEX RI. So, it's being advertised as something it isn't imo. I know these were a FSR, a few have sold on here, EXACTLY the same model, the Classic 60'S Series FSR, at between £450/£550. I think the current seller paid £795 for it after seeing 62 RI in the ad (on Facebook). Buyer beware, yes, I know, but it just leaves a bit of a hollow feeling, seeing somebody that (imo) has been a little misled. The guy selling it bought it from a member from here. The member paid about £500 for it, on here a few months back. It's not the 1st time that member has pulled off something like this. Just not my kind of behaviour hence my "fabrication" in my original post. I don't know why I get worked up about this sort of thing, but it just "doesn't seem cricket" to me . Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='highwayman' timestamp='1455912894' post='2983665'] So I've decided that a Stingray 4-string is the first bass for me (not Sterling etc. - the real deal), but I'm in need of some advice about the differences of 2 or 3 eq? I believe there's an argument for each? [/quote] Think you might find the original US Sterling (still made) with it's 3 band EQ, pick up coils selector and slimmer profile neck is a bit "the real deal". More than welcome to try mine if you are close enough to Wigan.
