Back up again, and another pic too - also featuring my very popular slippers.

D'oh. Meant to upload a picture of the bass in the case. It is 35" scale, and yes, I wear slippers. Rock on! [quote name='largo' post='1172670' date='Mar 22 2011, 09:51 PM']that's me out too, didn't know what a Kinsman Case was but guessing it's not a hardcase [/quote]

Sorry, acoustic bass + no hardcase + 2 hour cargo flight = worry for me! I'd rather keep it than take the risk of it getting damaged :-( thanks for the interest anyway [quote name='ialma' post='1171370' date='Mar 21 2011, 09:34 PM']I would have bought in seconds. Too bad you don't want to take the shipping risk...[/quote]

Should have mentioned this has 24 (count 'em!) frets...and back to the top bump.

back to the top!

Sunny Sunday afternoon bump!

Sunny Sunday afternoon bump!

Wow this forum moves quick! Just noticed one of these on eBay for £350 starting bid...and not as pretty...so think this deserves a bump at £300.

Thanks - I've not gigged this one at all (although the previous owner did...but he wasn't in Salisbury). I just tend to stick to 5 strings now. [quote name='deaver' post='1168314' date='Mar 19 2011, 03:01 PM']Nice, not seen this one round the pubs of Salisbury[/quote]

SOLD ------------ NOW DOWN TO £900 --------- Next up, my 6 string Status Stealth. Very sad to see it go, but just don't play it enough to do it justice. Utterly fantastic in every way- this is the Mark 1 version, which has a solid wood body core covered in a graphite shell; the whole bass (including neck) is moulded in one piece of graphite around this wood core. It's been finished in the optional green tint. It's also got the 3 way midrange switch which I think was optional. There are some dents and scratches, and the front pickup is cracked and bruised in a number of places - however it works absolutely perfectly. Status can supply a new pickup or cover very easily but as it works perfectly I never bothered having it done. Please see the pics for full details and I can provide many more hires pics on request. Plays and sounds incredible, classic Status piano sound at your fingertips. Very low action, frets in great condition too. Comes in a fitted reinforced gigbag - what we used to call a hard soft case when I worked in a guitar shop many years ago. New, these are £2260 (plus an extra £80 for the green tint!). I'm looking for £900 ono plus postage which will be approx £30. I am in Salisbury but can meet the buyer anywhere along the M3 for diesel costs and am occasionally in Swindon and Nottingham too. I'm really looking for money here but will always be tempted by interesting trades - PM me with what you've got.

SOLD ------------- Hi all To resolve some serious recent GAS, I am going to put a number of basses up for sale that are now surplus to requirements. First up is my Washburn AB35 5 string acoustic bass - this is by far the nicest acoustic bass I've ever played, great sound, great action, and looks superb (IMHO) It's in excellent condition, some very slight surface swirl marks but nothing else that I can see. Has a Equis preamp and both jack and XLR outputs. Spruce top, mahogany back and sides. Don't see many of these about either and perfect for those beer garden gigs... Comes with VERY nice Kinsman case that fits it perfectly. Looking for around £300 - would REALLY seriously rather not post this but if absolutely required then it will be about £30-40 - it's obviously a bit bigger than a regular electric. I'm in Salisbury but can deliver anywhere along the M3 for diesel costs and am occasionally in Swindon and Nottingham as well.

PM'd

Good price for a good bass, but unfortunately a very dead market - see the various great basses that haven't sold for very good prices recently. My advice would be to hang on to it if you possibly can, market may pick up after Christmas. If it was unlined and I hadn't just bought a TRB5P then I'd definitely be interested. [quote name='carlsim' post='1067274' date='Dec 22 2010, 10:08 PM']Bump with a final price drop to £370 plus postage.... Any interest???[/quote]

Last chance bump!

pre-ebay bump!

bump! PMs to be replied to shortly.

For sale due to extensive GAS (thanks to this very forum...) Ashdown Superfly 2 x 250W lightweight programmable amp: I bought this amp full price the 2nd week they were released (5 or 6 years ago) and have never had a single problem with it. I always meant to remove the aluminium surrounds (which makes it lighter and run a little cooler) but never got round to it. Will come with original box and soft cover. £150 ono, shipping will be £20 Ashdown ABM compact 1 x 15" cab. Basically new, never gigged by me or the guy I bought it from (here on basschat, only about a month ago!) - £150 which is what I paid for it, collected from Salisbury, shipping will be about £40 I reckon. Would rather not ship though. Overrun 4x8" cab - made by the same people who made the 4x8 mini cabs for Ashdown but with (better) Celestions installed and red piping; will happily take 600W. Never gigged but has been to a few rehearsals - slight dent in the front grille at the top. £150 collected from Salisbury; again, shipping will be about £40 I reckon but would rather not ship. Might be tempted to swap any (or a combination) of the above for interesting instruments...

The original Energy basses had sharp bevelled edges, the later versions (from about 93 onwards IIRC) adopted the rounded body style. The Energy Artist versions had figured tops - walnut or maple were the options I believe. Hope this helps - Status basses are universally fantastic, even the maple necked ones. [quote name='leschirons' post='998354' date='Oct 23 2010, 06:54 PM']Aren't the ones with the rounded edges like yours the Energy Artiste version? Could be wrong, but I had an Energy and it had sharp bevelled edges. Nice bass for not a lot of money. Shouldn't be on here for long.[/quote]

I believe the BB5000A had different Alnico pickups, or at least the ones I've seen did, plus a slightly different bridge. I'm a bit of a sucker for "all original" basses too... [quote name='Bassaroo' post='840245' date='May 17 2010, 09:46 PM']Well - v8bass mentioned that the bass was originally a Passive BB, and he's added a preamp - so it would be VERY close to the BB5000A that you've been searching for. (The only difference between the BB5000 and the BB5000A is the active circuitry - which he has added).[/quote]
