SkinnyMike Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Im looking to get rid of my 2008 Duck Dunn to accommodate for a Carbon fiber necked stingray. Its a great bass with the nicest neck iv ever played (the reason that made me want this bass) its just i fancy something other than a p-bass tbh. P.M me any questions or offers or feel free to post below Cheers Mike *EDIT* £650 posted with a nice padded lakland gigbag Edited October 16, 2008 by the_house123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Ah, I'm after one of these. To be honest, I was looking to pay a little less, I think I can get a new one from Bass Merchant for that. Your bass looks great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrunci Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm actually saving up for one of these, but I can get a new one for 870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrunci Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I would presume if he paid 950 for it new it would be a Korean model although I have been known to be wrong often enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 how long have you had it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnyMike Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hey guys, i had no idea i was selling it for more than you can buy one for as that what i paid for and yes it is the Korean model. Looks like im going to be loosing a lot of money on this then iv had it a bit longer than a month, in fact its close to 2 months old. i really want to sell this because i want a ray far too much. So i guess offers please, help a fellow student out. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 To let you know, I bought one for £699 new from the bass merchant. Maybe hang onto it if you can sort out the economics..it seems like a superb bass. If you have to sell, do you want to sell me the PG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Funny enough i think im going to get rid of mine as well. Ill not post a for sale add as its al up in the air at the moment but i fancy a 5 string Fender P now. In fact i might even keep the DD as i really love the fralin on it. Good luck with the sale.

Bigwan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Mike (house 123), Do you happen to know which pickup is in this bass, Fralin or Lakland? Do you have a case/gig bag for it? Cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnyMike Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Ian, I believe they are the standard lakland pups, as its the standard skyline model and it says they are lakland pups on there site for this model. i could be wrong though as im not sure how I would be able to test which pups they are. Yes i have a well padded lakland gig bag to go with it. (cant believe I didn't get a case thrown in when i originally bought the bass tbh). hope this helps Mike Edited October 13, 2008 by the_house123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also realy fancy a 5 string but iv thought about maybe keeping it and adding a J pickup behind the p-pups or maybe get rid of the P-pups and slap a Humbucker in there with a jazz pup behind it and bling it up a bit more.

As far as Jazz pick-ups go: Laklands are Red/Black or Green/Black Fralins are Black/White with braid insulation Aeros are Black/White with plastic insulation. I suspect that the Precision split coil are similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well i have an unused 55-01 at home and i picked it up the other day and it felt nice having that low B back. But i really do like the P sound, and even more so the Fralin. I think Dave (OBBM) has a J pup in the bridge position in his DD. Its a good idea and i was also tempted to do this but as i dont use the bridge pup in my Jazz i didnt think it was worth it for me. For me the only bass in the running will be the Fender P5 but do i really need it? I guess i dont but will probably have one by the end of the week unless i stop reading the Bass forums ;-) Edited October 13, 2008 by dave_bass5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Would a Bongo 5 HH be of any interest? Not commiting to anything though as I'm not sure if I want to let it go, but LIFO (last in, first out) rules usually apply with me...

SkinnyMike Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bigwan, im not a massive fan of Bongos to be honest, however have you got any pictures you could PM me? it could change my mind depending on the overall look of the bass as iv tried them out before and the tonal range is pretty daym sweet.
