Veils Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) 2007 Nirvana Black oil, black hardware. Flamed maple thru neck and body. Has one or two dings and a bit of buckle rash, but otherwise is in mint condition and plays nicer than most basses I have played in my lifetime! And with the black oil/black hardware combo it looks absolutely GORGEOUS! I will take £900. Oh it also comes with a flight case which is included in the price. I will get pics up on here soon when I get access to a camera, probably tonight. Reason for selling? My guitarists have decided they want to tune in such a way which is rather awkward for this bass so I am aiming to return to a 4 string jazz. Spafe x Edited January 8, 2009 by Veils

Hamster Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I'm seriously thinking of developing a guitarist repellant and going on Dragon's Den with it!

I'm never going to understand that... why do metal bands always have to have weird tuning AND why does that mean that the bass has to tune the same?

Veils Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 basically were going from a very low tuning which suited the 5 to one which doesn't. Some of our stuff is just too difficult to simply learn to play in a different position and I'm not against them changing tuning in this case because one of our guys has just had his caparison stolen which is built for low tuning. All a bit crap really but that's life
Captain Bass Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I understand the tuning thing, I was the bass player in (the recently departed) Cry For Silence, and we experimented with different tunings all the time. I checked out your band too man, I was pleasantly surprised, there are soo many god aweful metal bands on myspace atm lol! Regards, Andy

Toasted Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Gutted about the Caparison. Did this 'wick used to belong to Darryll?

Anyway - back to this bass
Veils Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 Bump for this bad boy Would also consider a stingray & cash.

Might consider for the right deal. I'd need to see some pictures and (the biggy) exactly how much cash are you thinking? Also, what's the string spacing at the bridge? Is this the normal or wideneck variety (or whatever they call it)? PS. Just had a listen to a couple of your vids.... good grief... how the hell does your singer keep that up? Edited January 1, 2009 by thepurpleblob
Veils Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 Heyyyyy Not totally sure on cash really! I'll think it over! Can u get pics of the ray? I'll sort pix of the wick asap it's been tricky since I don't own a camera!
Veils Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 Oh as for string spacing I believe it's standard? And no idea how dave keeps them vocals up, he does struggle sometimes at the end of the set though.

Stockholm Syndrome Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I'd love to see pics of this! Might be interested myself.
Veils Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Pics will defo be coming this weekend. The bass is currently residing in our rehearsal room so I will pick it up this evening and get some pictures taken! It's a beauty!
Veils Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 I did just attempt to add this pic, not sure it worked.....

Various unpleasant seasonal diseases have been impeding me over the last few days!
