    [quote name='lwtait' post='241038' date='Jul 16 2008, 04:25 PM']dammit! i just spent £200 on an epi thunderbird! this is cool! what sort of sound does it make? what basses would you compare it to? just interested cos i don't think i've seen that sort of pickup before. im guessing its a humbucker? anyway, a status for £200! i'm suprised this hasn't already gone! good luck with the sale.[/quote] It's quite woody to my ears, I would say it sounds a bit like a Stingray but with elements of a Warwick about it. Yes, the pickup is a humbucker.

    Believe me it is blue, it's just a very pale blue.

    Just to confirm there are no trades (matthewsanchez that chorus pedal is staying - it's brilliant once you know how to use the X knob! (Digitech Bass Chorus BTW)). I've had 2 offers that are legit and I'm waiitng to see if anyone buys it before then.

    Another bump.

    Proof that US basses are not the best - I've always thought with Fender you were just paying for the name. There of plenty of basses under £500 that can easily blow a £1k bass out the water.

    Good - that's one thing sorted.

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='239311' date='Jul 14 2008, 05:04 PM']I thought the Sharks had the graphite rods in the neck??[/quote] Yeah, but the actual neck isn't graphite, to quote LukeFRC: - [quote name='LukeFRC']although it wil have graphite in the neck[/quote] I thought he meant the actual neck...

    What would you rather spend £200 on? A bass made in Korea down to a price or a bass handbuilt in England by one of the country's finest luthiers?

    Another bump. This is a top quality 5 stringer - someone could get themselves a bargain!
  13. Stan_da_man
    Come on people - these are in A+++ condition!

    [quote name='jmccabe' post='235109' date='Jul 8 2008, 05:06 PM']Thanks for that suggestion but I'm not very close to Coventry. I don't have a lot of experience of 4x10 cabs either, but the ones I do have experience I didn't much like the sound of, so I'd be a bit hesitant on that anyway. For the moment I think it's best to stick with a 1x15. Thanks again though.[/quote] (Why didn't I think of plugging my own stuff...?) Trust me 4x10's are like 1x15's but much better. More speakers so that means easier to cope with sound (more efficient) i.e. 4 speakers not just 1. 4x10's cover more area so are louder than a 1x15 and 4x10's can get a good low sound too. Those cabs are a bargain - they are near enough brand new.

    [quote name='budget bassist' post='236172' date='Jul 9 2008, 11:18 PM']Based on the fact that that fret king looks like cheap rubbish, i'd go for the ibanez, they're pretty good.[/quote] [quote name='Faithless' post='236175' date='Jul 9 2008, 11:22 PM']It's not cheap, actually, his price is just about the Ibby...[/quote] Pwned.

    The back of the neck is obviously graphite from the pics! A member inquired about if it had a graphite neck or not - for £200 it don't!
  17. Stan_da_man
    Cheers for the bump! By the way, this bass does not have a graphite neck - it has a maple neck. I'd have to be very stupid to sell it for £200 with a graphite neck. And anyway, how can it have a graphite neck if the back of the neck looks very un-graphite?

    [quote name='Wooks' post='235841' date='Jul 9 2008, 04:23 PM']I live near to Nevada music in Pompey and they have a fairly decent range of basses.[/quote] I've been to there a few times - good range of basses and guitars.

    Bear in mind Ashdown's reputation for reliability isn't much better than Behringer.
  20. Stan_da_man
    Bump.

    The Ibanez SR500 is a great bass but another bass you should check out is the ESP Ltd D-4. I played one the other day and it has a very good tone - perhaps even better than the SR500. In fact I preferred the D-4 to the SR500. Specs: * Merbau body * Neck-through-body construction * 5-piece mahogany-maple neck * 34" scale * Standard 42mm nut * Rosewood fingerboard * 24 XJ frets * Black nickel hardware * Grover tuners * ESP BB-604 string-thru-body bridge * ESP SB-4 pickup set * Volume and balance controls * ESP ABQ3 3-band active EQ You can pick this bass up for £329 online. It also came of no surprise to me when I read that the D-4 won Guitar & Bass Magazine 2007 award for best bass under £1000.

    PM'd.

    Thanks for the interest but bear in mind if I have another offer before you make one then the cabs will be gone. First come first served I'm afraid.

    Bumpage.
