Good luck with the sale. What a crying shame to part with such a lovely bass. Mine is still the one I'd save from the fire.

[budget bassist]

wow, that's VERY nice looking, good luck with the sale, it's a beauty.

[Frusty]

Wow - that really is beautiful.

It's an SB Elite II. I have one in the same colour. They're not active, but have by far the most versatile passive set-up I've found. The neck is a corker.

The two switches are coil taps, or have a similar effect...

GL with the sale

Thanks for all the positive comments, it's a real shame to have to sell it on.

Would you believe it? 47 watchers and only one bid....

Mike, seriously.

If you're putting anything else up for sale give me first refusal by mail before you throw it on the 'bay. Dammit man, if circumstances change you can always buy them back at cost from me coz I know how much some of these have meant to you over the years!!

Dave. you are as always, a prince among men. Hopefully see you soon (and I'll tell you the story of Your Demise and their encounter with the Belgian legal system)

[BassBod]

I'm not usually interested in 80s Japan stuff - but that is very nice, and so 80's!

Good luck - hope you get a good sale

There are different reasons for watching. Sometimes I watch am item if I'm considering selling something similar, sometimes I'm just curious as to what an item will fetch, occasionally I'm going to bid later but forget cos I don't visit eBay for days!

And if I do bid on an item, I leave it until the last 5 minutes of an auction, otherwise you could just be inflating the price getting into a bidding war. My philosophy is don't give people time to think about whether they want to go higher than their original maximum!

Aria Pro II - I knew a guy who was a hot bass player and he absolutely loved his APII, and I have a really old guitar APII which I would never part with. They are very good instruments.

Heh, true, I have been guilty of this myself in the past. I'm just feeling a tad anxious because I sold a great Overwater recently and out of thirty-odd watchers, only one bid was made.

It is a great instrument, fun to play and makes a great racket.
