  1. This needs to be a sticky, "... That's the key when you're touring; just be a nice chap and have a good vibe about you. That's the way to get work. If you're a superb player, but a pain in the ***, you'll never get asked. The world is full of phenomenal musicians who are so up themselves that they are really difficult to be around. Being on the road with difficult people is really draining."
  2. [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1357147111' post='1918179'] After a serious back injury 5 yrs ago anything in the region of 10lbs hurts me for any length of time, therefore SR5's arent usually on my radar...but this is such a good deal and I have been looking for a 5 string fretless. Might have to really think about this. [/quote] Certainly feels a lot lighter than my Blade B4 and Ibby Musician that I recently had.
  3. In reply to a couple of questions. The neck is 42mm at the nut and 60mm at the heel.
  4. [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1357146295' post='1918152'] Seriously tempted. Great price for a top drawer 5 fretless. What weight does it tip the scales at? [/quote] Not weighed it, but I'd say at little under the 10lb mark.
  5. [quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1357144996' post='1918102'] Superb bass & the price is frankly nuts! This won't last long. [/quote] Just passing on the love....:-)
  6. Unknown make, but headstock wood finish looks like an old Kay? Anyway, its a fully functioning P bass. I don't know what the pups are, but they sound very nice, the tone pot has a good range to it too. The bridge is very substantial, not a flimsy bbot. The body is ply wood, and has been "ratted" so is a nice Matt black. It's very heavy and has the truss rod access at the neck end. The neck has no nasty edges, but the laquer is flaking off in places. However, I've never felt it under my fingers, so has not affected the playability. I don't have a scratchplate for it as the old one was cracked and fell apart when I was setting this up a while ago. I'm prepared to part the neck and body separately, if there's interest. Body loaded £40 Neck loaded £25 Together £60 Plus postage on all.

  7. 1989 Stingray fretless 5 string in honeyburst. Pau ferro board on a very pretty maple figured neck. Strung with new flatwounds and fitted some straplocks recently. Comes in hard shell case (not MM). Lovely bass, very good condition, albeit a tiny scratch on tip of headstock. Really don't play electric bass much these days, just concentrating on songwriting, so this is the last of my "nice" basses to go. Here's some pics taken in poor lighting.

PayPal if you pay fees, or cash. As I said I don't play bass much, but am keeping a P bass for recording...however I could be persuaded to trade for a 6 string guitar (semi-hollow?) or another fretless plus cash, but the likelyhood is it won't get played anyway, but try me. Could deliver/meet up as far as Basingstoke, Bournemouth, Bristol, Exeter for petrol costs. Happy new year...
  8. Hi, Interested in the P, if you could post? I'll PM you. Thanks, John
  9. " a big powerful head", like an orange on a toothpick?

  14. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1354321774' post='1884948'] Does this Levinson also recommend statutory underpinning? (bad joke bump) [/quote] :-) [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1354354913' post='1885048'] I played this one, its a bit special in my opinion! [/quote] Thanks Ed
  15. Cash sale only now.....my double bass needs an urgent operation. £130 posted.
  16. [quote name='AnalogBomb' timestamp='1353971304' post='1880473'] I'll trade you for a Cort v action 5 string?? Recently purchased but just not for me! [/quote] Thanks, but not after a 5 stringer. [quote name='stu_g' timestamp='1353972485' post='1880491'] i have this encore ltd 83 upgraded video on link [/quote] Well Stu, looks like yet another dodgy meet up by the golf course needs to be arranged! Basingstoke here I come...:-)
  17. Picture bump [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/0c42b5202aa3eb13007cc4348ff53994.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/0d1f16a576bc4ab9e6467b3339db2ae3.jpg[/IMG] Might consider trade with a cheap P bass, or 6 string koostic?
  18. [quote name='MB1' timestamp='1353783117' post='1878479'] [b]Buy with Confidence![/b] [/quote] Think he'd rather have the cash Martin, but worth a try. .....coat......bye!....
