Thinking hard about ordering a brand new one

The 16-18 week wait will drive you nuts. But you do get choose exactly the bass you want

Here we go again! It may get ordered, it may not, it may come, it will be the best thing since sliced bread, and will be sold in a few days to pay for something like a car!

Real life always gets in the way.

[risingson]

Keep your new Stingray, it looks - and indeed is from a style perspective - exactly 1,000,000 times cooler.

[crez5150]

Have you played one for any length of Time Marcus? Only suits the chosen few ;0)

I've owned Three now and won't use anything else....

[funkypenguin]

you might be better served picking a bass, sticking with it and practising a little more as opposed to spending your time chopping and changing your gear....what will a kingbass enable you to achieve that your current basses wont?

i loved my kingbass a lot when i had it, and unfortunately it had to go to purchase a car


im actually really really rubbish at saving money, so i try to buy and sell gear until i reach what i want again The Kingbass...

this is quite cool as it allows me to experience playing a lot of different basses as well as not losing any value

Pose in your bedroom mirror and pretend that you are Mark King obviously.

Depends. The Ferrari is an Italian purebred classic. The Subaru (thinking of the Impreza rally models rather than the agricultural vehicles) is a classic 90's rally rep of a car that was at the top of it's game and won the WRC. Both very different, and once again, proof that car to bass analogies are usually flawed.

[Lowender]

Don't do it. I can't believe you can even find headless tuning strings anymore.

[marcus bell]

Maybe getting an artist in cocobolo with green LEDs in a deal including my mm and cash, if not its a sale on the musicman and a new order from Rob

[waynepunkdude]

Your SR is wonderful, KIng Basses are what old people who have given up play.

[marcus bell]

Haha, because they play themselves?

[crez5150]

I think Wayne is just a bit Jealous ;o)

[marcus bell]

Potentially

It doesn't always work like that though. The price you're asking for that Stingray is pretty ambitious.

I have to agree with this - unfortunately I wasn't chosen.

I had a Kingbass for about 5 minutes and really couldn't get on with it. It was the fastest sale of an instrument I've ever I've ever made

I do know people that love these though - a real marmite bass if ever there was one.

[marcus bell]

Well the price is up for negotiation.

[Gust0o]

My concern is slightly more personal. We've seen you lust after various basses, with quite some vigour - and then we see them moved on.

I wouldn't want to see you disappointed, again, or out of pocket.

[marcus bell]

The Kingbass artist mk1 is perfect for me alongside my old jaydee, and when a bass fits I wouldn't sell, I'm just using the others as a means of saving as I've mentioned before

Simple as that

[Gust0o]

Ok chief. Just upholding my duty of care. There's an awful lot of money floating around in a short space of time. I mean, did you just pay £1050 for the SR4?
