fender73 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Nooooooo Is there no other way you can get the motor back running?? you've dreamed for 11 years about this bass!
dudi8 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 i think you should keep the bass and put wheels under it, and leave the car....
marcus bell Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 Unfortunately I have to get to work :/
ianhowardbass Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Cycle or walk, catch a bus or train, skateboard, scrounge a lift off parents, friends or work colleagues, these are all viable alternatives to selling a bass to pay for repairs to a car.
BassBus Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 This bass will hold it's value many times better than a car ever will, unless it's a Bugatti Veyron you have. Do not do it Marcus! Ian has laid out all the alternatives above. Don't do it!
stingrayPete1977 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 OMG! (I never use that but just this once)
marcus bell Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 I'm gunna try and hold on but instincts are telling me it'll have to go :/
TheGreek Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I can't believe this!!! For anybody who's thinking about buying a KB, I would seriously recommend this bass (It used to be mine)....what can you say about these basses??...play like a dream, weigh very little and they are very well balanced...don't assume that they're a 1 trick pony and only do the Mark King thing..they're far more versatile.. I'm very tempted to buy it back...all I need to do is sell a few bits first.... Anybody interested in anything in my sig?? Marcus..I would wish you luck with a sale, but that would mean I'm less likely to get it back..
fretmeister Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 0% credit card. Then go and buy a £1500 motor with it.

[/quote] Even Mark King doesnt want the Alembic, not really. Oh Mate! My heart goes out to you. I love the Matrix 4 you sold me. Like the man said 0% credit card......
marcus bell Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 Swear! The kingbass is a dream to play and the looks and function is fantastic but my car is finished so I need one, Ohwell ill get another one day

Now, used examples are struggling to sell for £500,000. They depreciate like mad!

marcus bell Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 Exhaust hanger has snapped off the body, a cheap enough fix, but It won't go through another mot anyway so cutting my losses and selling it... Won't be long and ill have another kingbass anyway Always look on the bright side of life
ianhowardbass Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) I recently sold my car for £350, a perfectly alright car that just sailed through its MOT. I'd never sell a bass that I loved to buy a car, I commute 3 days a week to university in London by train. I have to walk a mile or so with a bass and a bag of books and maybe my macbook, catch a train to Birmingham and then the train to London, then the tube. Then I do the same in reverse going home. I used to drive into Birmingham which saved loads of time and messing about, but decided it was a luxury that I didn't really need, and I could use the money I saved to buy basses . Gigs I use my mom's car. Good luck with the sale though, man , looks like you've made your mind up about it. Edited December 29, 2012 by ianhowardbass
TheGreek Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Makes you wonder who's got their priorities in the right order..
TheGreek Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Congrats on the sale though I think you may regret it...
stingrayPete1977 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Best alter you sig by putting it down by the ebs rig

Or have you been living on borrowed time because the car is a hound and would never pass an MOT for other reasons? Either way, you need to check Pistonheads for the Shed Of The Week feature. How to get a great car for £1000 or less...
marcus bell Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah it's been a good car for around 6 months but things have started going wrong and wouldn't pass an mot, Ohwell I'm picking a great little car up today and then the saving begins again
