Tripehound Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) [b][size=6]SOLD[/size][/b] Price reduced to £400 - seen something I like and I can't act in a patient grown-up fashion.... [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][size=2][color=#000000]Taken a long time to decide to sell this but an uncompromising one-in one-out policy now exists and I have my eye on something else.[/color][/size][/font] [color=#000000][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][size=2]Up for grabs is a (rare they tell me) Line 6 Variax bass, a fantastic recording instrument that models a range of classic bass guitars, both acoustic and electric, with a couple of synths thrown in for good measure.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][size=2]Includes the original gig bag - one of the best I've ever seen - the cables, power adaptor, manual - the lot.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][size=2]The only flaw I'm aware of is a tiny blemish on the back of the neck which I've tried to photograph and which has no impact on playability or feel. Aside from that, it's pretty much immaculate - I only hesitate to say mint in case there's something utterly tiny that I've missed in the years of owning this fine instrument. It's been looked after - no dings and no 'buckle rash' that I can see (wear a shirt over your belt people).[/size] [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][b]£400[/b][/font][/color] [color=#000000][size=3][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Pretty reasonable I'd say considering you will then 'own' the following:-[/font][/size][/color] [color=#000000][color=#000000] Pair Name Green Bank Red Bank VINJ 1961 Fender Jazz 1960 Fender Jazz (flat-wound strings) MODJ 2004 Fender Deluxe Jazz 1961 Fender Jazz Fretless PREBASS 1963 Precision Bass 1958 Precision Bass (flat-wound strings) MANTA 1977 Musicman Stingray 2003 Modulus Flea CLANG 1971 Rickenbacker 4001 1963 Rickenbacker 4001 (flat-wound strings) HOLLOW 1966 Danelectro Longhorn 1963 Hofner 500/1 (flat-wound strings) THUMP 1963 Gibson Thunderbird 1966 Gibson EB2D (flat-wound strings) MODERN 2002 MTD 535 2003 Warwick Thumb ALCHEMY 1978 Alembic Long Scale 1984 Steinberger XL2 8 & 12 1968 Hagström H8 1994 Hamer B12A ACOUSTIC Tacoma Thunderchief Kay M1 Double Bass SYNTH Mini Moog Modern Bass Synth [/color][/color] [color=#000000][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Collection only I'm afraid - but the good news is that we're a mile from Junction 25 of the M1.[/font][/color] Edited April 4, 2012 by Tripehound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at j28 m1 [/quote] Feel free to pop by and have a look! Don't have a bass amp at home - just a pod and a guitar amp - which would let you get a decent idea of what you would be getting.

pudie Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The seller has already stated pickup only and also the seller may not want the bother of packaging it up, there's also the issue of payment as there is no real secure way of doing a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueslemac Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If you're seriously interested, drop me a PM. I'm travelling a fair bit for work over the next couple of months and may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudie Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yayy..I've known both Danny's nearly all my life :-) I prob know you too...but you are going back to the late 60's early 70's with Rumbellows (which was Strothers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yes, I took over from Pete the Manager in 77/78 Danny, Hedley and Sue I think her name was, ran the music side, Mrs Rennie and Kim the records. You'll know Phil Caton the Drummer then! He was on the Wallasey scene. When Danny started Mersey Music he scored all the music stock at very convenient prices gave him a great start and he had a good reputation.

pudie Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Yes , unfortunately Mersey Music went about 3-4 years ago. I still see Danny occasionally as he lives by me.If you took over there in 78 then that was the year I moved to Liverpool so I probably missed you.Moved back in 84 and was in a few bands (and still am) Do you remember YKICKAMOOCOW or Colonol Bogey , The Twins or the Tabasco twins? All me. By the way..if you know Hedley..you may remember a young guitar prodigy called Dave Noble? Anyway The Variax will be picked up by me in the morning.

[/quote] Wasn't that Saxaphone Jones's band? No don't remember a Dave Noble guitar, you'll know Kenny Goodlass then, Jimmy Cambell (not sure if he's still with us). Well done with the Variax, I like sound modelling just can't work it. Danny Murphy Senior still playing snooker then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
