Sold thanks. Fender Precision USA , 1997, a bit Harris like.
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Basses For Sale
PM's replied thanks. Sale preferred although may consider a Jazz. Surprised there isn't a bit more interest, a great coloured American Standard, made to look a bit like a Japanese Steve Harris signature. Weighs less than the sig, has a normal P nut width rather than the sig's 1.75 inch, graphite neck strengthening unlike the sig. And cheaper than the last 3 Japanese sigs have sold for. -

Sold thanks. Fender Precision,Road Worn 50's series, Fiesta Red, 2009
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Basses For Sale
Truth time. I allowed £700 for this against a Rick a few months back, when these basses were selling, in hours, at that sort of price. Anybody remember the Volkswagen advert " he moved into gold the day the smart money moved out" Anyway, this splendid bass is now with her new fleet fingered master "itsmedunc" a lovely geezer of the highest water. Enjoy Dunc and thanks for all the interest folks, cheers, Karl. -
What a lovely bloke. Fair to say we could have talked bass and amps (STOP looking at amps Dunc ) all night, ably assisted by Fender, Gibson and Dexter Seriously though, top class guy, another great ambassador for BC. Hugely recommended. Many thanks Dunc for making it so easy, speak soon fella.

Heartbreaking to lose so much on this,REDUCED my lovely Fiesta Red 50's Road Worn series Precision, to £550 collected (or meet within 30 miles of Wigan) or sort/pay for your own INSURED courier Reduced until either this one sells, or my American Standard ('Arry tribute). Preferably this one. I can't think of a bass that took me this long to sell I think it's an extremely good price now, and looking at the comments in the thread, there's about another 8 folks singing the praises of this model. Cheers. -
Specs were 64 Jazz bass. Sea foam green, matching headstock, 60's pup positions, alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, vintage style bridge. Nobody but Mark knows exactly where the components come from, but everybody who has had a Limelight made for them seems to be pretty much in agreement that it all comes together very nicely. There is a similar Fender Custom Shop Jazz in Thomann, Sea Foam Green, light relic, matching headstock. It's just over £2900. Why did I sell? Because I got the fretboard in rosewood, vintage correct. I don't get on with rosewood. The only conclusion that can be made is that I'm stupid This is a truly wonderful bass in so many ways.

Thanks cocco, she is. Tom, this model was only done in LPB in 1998, so, given Fender's accuracy with serial numbers................... there is an outside chance this is LPB. However, in some lights there is a tiny bit of sparkle running through the finish, so I'm convinced it's Aqua Marine. It really does appear massively different at times, especially under stage lighting. For example pics 2 and 3 were taken within 30 seconds of each other, the bass didn't move, I did. Anyway, Fender spec [url="http://www.cnjradio.net/fendergits/SD0192200APg3.pdf"]http://www.cnjradio....0192200APg3.pdf[/url] -
Guess if it becomes all yankee, we can look forward to price increases if made and shipped from the states.

I need to sell at least one bass, so with extreme reluctance, I'm putting the Old Gal up. She has lots of lumps and dinks, two major ones badly touched up by original owner, plus some varnish of edge of neck and a little dint next to that. Plays brilliantly though. Medium weight at 9lb 5oz, comes with both scratchplates, little Eddie head on headstock (removable, no residue), pup cover and tugbar. And a Fender hardcase that is so bust up it merits it's own photos (still just about does the job). £670 collected from Wigan (or meet up within 50 miles), £700 mainland UK insured courier. The colour is very like Lake Placid Blue, but in fact it's Aqua Marine Metallic. I got it to turn it into a Steve Harris "Live After Death" tribute bass. It's a standard 41.6mm nut width, so easier to play than a Harris signature. And it's lighter. And, with Royal Blue Japanese Harris signature going used between £750/£850, it's cheaper The photo with the tortie scratchplate is probably the most representative. Please don't buy if you want immaculate, this is real road bashed. Feedback at bottom of post cheers, Karl.

SOLD: TecAmp PUMA 1000 (Powersoft version, cover included)
karlfer replied to davidak's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
You might want to consider buying this quickly folks. It is possible that the wonderful (ime, and that of a good few others) gear that TecAmp produce, may be about to get harder to find . A few days ago I tried to get a M212-4 from the largest supplier, but they had vanished from the stock list, this may be why http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275998-tecamp-no-more/ David, if you unhappy about my link, please just PM me and I will remove it. Good luck with the sale of this fabulous amp. -
Well hush my mouth I like 8ohms!!! (where's the sticking tongue out icon?)
-
That'll be why Thomann don't list the S212 OR M212 since Monday. When I went to order a M212 Damn shame, great gear IMO. Still at least Jeff Berlin apologised (no idea why I typed that

NBD - Limelight Dakota Red Precision Bass, 1963 *Audio*
karlfer replied to discreet's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1451686259' post='2942553'] Damn. Why did you have to link to his website? I've been gassing for an 80's Siennaburst for ages, even though I can't live with 1.75" necks, and that one seems a very good price! I will have to hold firm! [/quote] He's had that bass in for months. Cheeky offer????? -
Fender Precision USA 57RI + C&G Case - £700
karlfer replied to jay-syncro's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1451686622' post='2942559'] Bargain and a cracking project. I would have snapped it up if I didn't have to keep the funds back for my Bravewood! Good work Beedster. Next day or two? Let's hope the seller is more patient than some I've dealt with recently! (I'm sure he is) I can already see this bass refin'd in vintage white or blonde, but I think a wet and dry with 1200, 1500, and 2000 then a polish will have it gleaming! Will need an anodized pickguard though! [/quote] There was an anodised plate with it I just didn't get round to putting it back on. -
[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1451658300' post='2942156'] That's probably because they would have 2 different range of ohm speakers made for them . perhaps if they offered a discount if you ordered more than one cab , that might influence people to get 2 x8 ohm or 3 x 12ohm cabs ? [/quote] The point is (to me) Barefaced don't make the 2x 10 in 8 ohm, or I would have bought two of them. They make the 210 in 4ohm and 12 ohm. One is no good to me and I'm buggered if I'm going to buy/carry three of them. As I said, I asked Alex last year if they would do them in 8 ohm versions and was told (in a bamboozling scientific way) no.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1451661440' post='2942190'] Jay, why explain two identical basses to Mrs Synchro, in my book that's one bass Anyway, I'll take the bass mate, nearly pressed the button when Karl furst offered it. I'll get my people to talk to your people in the next day or two. C [/quote] Absolutely world class Chris You will love that bass fella -
From initial contact to closure was less than 24 hours. Decisive, did what he said he would, when he said he would. On top of that, although short term contact, Ian is an absolute gentlemen. The condition of his gear was exemplary, an absolute credit to him. Ian, it was a great pleasure, and in true gear whore style I will be keeping an eye out for anything you put up for sale Deal with utmost confidence folks, Ian is one of life's nice guys
