I feel for you mate - I've got the same problem [quote name='mojobass' timestamp='1392120090' post='2364838'] Since my boiler is well and truly dead, this along with my recently acquired Antigua p/j will have to be sacrificed. MIM 70's reissue jazz sunbirst, good nick apart from a few issues - previous owner to me decided for some unknown reason to move the strap pins!? As a result there is a 'new' hole on the bottom of the body, and a 'new' hole on the top horn, along with a paint chip/chunk on the top horn. Plays great and no other issues I can't upload pics from my iPad for some reason? But more than happy to email any interested parties pics upon request. Looking for £400 posted but open to offers due to aforementioned issues [/quote]

Thanks Loz & Prime. Mrs Tazza has apparently been able to calculate that the under-stairs cupboard will be big enough to house the basses I will have left. Well she is an accountant [quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1392110577' post='2364680'] This and the OP's other ad made my evening yesterday, then my morning when I re-read - such literary talent deserves a bump (lovely short scale too!)

Thanks Alyctes - yes I was surprised how good they are [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1392062471' post='2364297'] These are very nice [/quote]

Deep breaths - I must not spend the money on more basses & repeat I must not........................... [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]A two part disaster really as our central heating boiler which is situated in my music room (aka the garage) has decided to spring a leak. Luckily none of my bass equipment was damaged but it led to the discovery of my secret stash of bass guitars by Mrs Tazza. So not only have I not got a hiding place anymore I now also need to divest myself of quite a few basses & find the money to get the boiler replaced (that’s the central heating boiler – not Mrs Tazza) or else find somewhere else to live. As I’m quite fond of the current Mrs Tazza I need to comply pretty sharpish especially as she has now decided that my music room (aka the garage) is to be converted into an extended kitchen (I don’t know why because thankfully she rarely cooks*). This is where you, my bass playing brethren, can help. Hopefully you can understand the predicament I am in & see your way clear to buying this bass.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]This is another of a few basses I have for sale. These are rare in the UK as they were for the Japanese home market only. I bought this direct from Ishibashi a year or so ago at a total cost of just over £400 including freight & import duties. I used to own a Gibson EB3 & regretted selling it & I couldn’t afford to buy another genuine one so when this came up I took the plunge.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]It is a 1998 (according to the serial number) EB3, 30” scale, has the correct open book headstock, usual three point bridge along with the four position Varitone & choke as fitted to Gibson EB3’s which the current Epiphone & Gibsons do not.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]As can be seen from the original Ishibashi auction pics (link below) it is in “Roadworn” condition but plays & sounds really good – I think it adds to the vintage look of this bass but if you like your basses pristine this may not be for you. This is closer to the original Gibson EB3 than the later Gibson SG bass both in sound & feel (I have just bought an SG bass so I have been able to compare the two & wouldn’t be selling this Epiphone if it wasn’t for the boiler problem noted above)[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]These do not come up very often although there is currently one on eBay from a seller based in Japan at £394 plus £79 delivery which when you add the 3.7% Import Duty & 20% VAT puts that one in the region of £588 (however in all honesty it is in a bit better condition than mine) so I'm going to ask £275 collection only as I do not have a hard case to post this in.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]There are several options for collection – you can collect from Kettering, Thurmaston (Leicester) or Heckingham (Norfolk)[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]You can view pics at this link [url="http://sdrv.ms/1fTT8u4"]http://sdrv.ms/1fTT8u4[/url][/size][/font] [size=1]*This may or may not be my little joke depending on whether you are Mrs Tazza or not[/size]

BASS NOW SOLD Last price drop to £100 before it goes on eBay [b] [/b][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A two part disaster really as our central heating boiler which is situated in my music room (aka the garage) has decided to spring a leak.

I bought this about 18 months ago when I started my switch back to short scale basses. It's in great condition as I hardly used it due to the aforementioned Mrs Tazza buying me a Squier Jaguar SS (she's not all bad).[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]This would be ideal for a child or beginner taking their first steps into bass playing or someone with small hands or a guitarist wanting to play bass. Make no mistake this is not a toy & you could definitely use this as your main gigging bass. The sound & finish are very good & it plays nicely.[/font][/size] [b] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The specifications are:[/font][/size][/b] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Candy Apple Red[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Neck: Maple (Scale 28.60")[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Body: Agathis body[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Frets: Medium frets[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Fingerboard: Rosewood[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Inlay: Pearl dot[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Bridge: B10 bridge[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Neck pickup: PSNDP neck pickup[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Middle pickup: PSNDJ bridge pickup[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Hardware colour: Chrome[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Gig Bag included[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm looking for £100 if you collect (or £110posted) for this as it is virtually unused.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]There are several options for collection – you can collect from Kettering, Thurmaston (Leicester) or Heckingham (Norfolk)[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]You can view pics at this link [url="http://sdrv.ms/1bj3RRG"]http://sdrv.ms/1bj3RRG[/url] – I've pictured it next to a Jazz bass so you can gauge the size.[/font][/size] [size=1]*This may or may not be my little joke depending on whether you are Mrs Tazza or not[/size]
