[quote name='howieee' post='856194' date='Jun 3 2010, 03:10 PM']i like your style russmann![/quote] Hi Sorry I won't split them up £1500 the pair. Bargain. ;-}

For sale - mint Ampeg stack never turned up beyond 2...! I bought this new from Reverb in Glasgow to gig with a band about a year ago... The singer left the next week but I hung on to the stack 'just in case' - it has been stored in my office in Edinburgh ever since - never even got to a rehearsal... I am moving to a smaller office and don't have the space there or at home so sadly it has got to go. Current list is £1600 for the amp and £850 for the cab. I will sell them both for £1400 - local pickup from Edinburgh preferred - I am happy to hire a van and split the cost with buyer if you are not too far away - could meet halfway if that is useful...

257 cheers, George [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='845166' date='May 22 2010, 04:20 PM']What number is it? I just sold mine. Kinda missing it even though I am hopeless at fretless. Put the effort into sanding this and oiling it and it will look fantastic.[/quote]

This is an odd one but one with tons of character. These are designed by the leftfield luthier Steve Wishnevsky. [url="http://www.wishnevsky.com/"]http://www.wishnevsky.com/[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishbass"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishbass[/url] I imported this bass from Wishbass in Salem USA in one of Steve’s ‘hippy’ cases – the case is wooden and solidly made with a hideous interior. It plays beautifully and has a super low action. The bass is one of the ones with a truss rod, through neck and is fantastic to play – the neck feels thick to start – more like a double bass but as you get used to it - it is a dream to play. The design and construction gives this bass a ‘woody’ (sic) tone further enhanced by the Wishbox – a passive varitone box giving ‘bypass’ and 5 tones selected on the front of the rustic box with a single tone control. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnBDlGEEnf0&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnBDlGEEnf0...feature=related[/url] I am not a fretless player by any means but I used this on several sessions and recordings – I am selling it because I have just bought a lined fretless to help me out… The bass sounds distinctive – it can mwah or thud dependent where you play the strings and the settings on the Wishbox – the pickup is a Select by EMG and the tuners are Gotohs. The bass is unfinished but could be waxed, lacquered or painted. [url="http://www.wishbass.com/homewishbasscom.html"]http://www.wishbass.com/homewishbasscom.html[/url] From wishbass.com “We use traditional materials and methods, but are able to take advantage of the most modern technology to save you money, and most importantly, make it easier for you to get your music from your brain to the audience's ears. Our basses are designed to maximize the acoustic coupling between the strings and the neck/body wood. This produces a fine woody tone and lots of sustain. Our basses minimize the metal and electronics in between your hands and the amplifier, letting you control your tones instinctively, instantly, organically. The Fretless bass is not just an electric bass guitar with no frets, it is a different instrument. Our ergonomics and tone are unequalled in the industry. We make the most comfortable bass in the world. We have had many customers tell us that they can play much longer without stress and strain than they ever have been able to do before.” Wishbass, case and Wishbox £400

Hi Yes L is for Longscale £1200 ono Cheers, George [quote name='walbassist' post='801022' date='Apr 9 2010, 04:31 PM']Nice. "L" means this is a 34" scale yes? What is your price for a sale?[/quote]

1972/3 EB3L In great condition - few wee dings - see pics. Pickups in later more 'sensible' positions. Fantastic vintage bass in great nick. I am looking for a US Telecaster or Gibson RD Artist Or anything interesting? George

Hi Interested in a mid 90's Music Man (mint flightcased) or a 1967 Gibson EB3L (only 700 ever made) or an 80's BC Rich Eagle? Can send you pics Best wishes, George

Hi Sorry - I sold it before I got a chance to measure it! BW George [quote name='BottomEndian' post='693152' date='Dec 24 2009, 08:01 PM']Really?! There must be some crazy optical illusions going on. In the first picture on the eBay listing (the picture in the OP here), the 8-string bridge is clearly further from the "tail" of the bass (by an inch or two), so for the scale lengths to be the same, the 8-string neck would have to protrude further from the body by the same inch or two. But then in other pictures (the one of the headstocks, the one of the backs of the necks and especially the full-length one in the case), the 8-string neck clearly [i]doesn't[/i] protrude further. It's noticeably shorter. And the frets on the 8-string neck are clearly more closely spaced than on the 4-string neck (with the 12th frets nicely coinciding). So it must be a shorter scale length on the 8-string neck, by a good 3 or 4 inches if I'm reading those pictures right. Could you satisfy my curiosity and measure from the nut to the 12th fret on each neck?[/quote]

Cool, it still has your name on it!!! [quote name='Stacker' post='693298' date='Dec 25 2009, 09:30 AM']Hey, George! Best of luck with the sale and have a good one. BTW, the Telebass sale didn't go ahead so that white T-bass is back in the sights!![/quote]

Hi Will do - I see what you mean! I just always presumed they were the same - will post next year [quote name='BottomEndian' post='693152' date='Dec 24 2009, 08:01 PM']Really?!

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='692824' date='Dec 24 2009, 10:13 AM']Are the necks different scale lengths? Looks like the 8-neck's short-scale and the 4's long-scale. That'd do my head in swapping between them..[/quote] Both long scale!
