willem_dafoe Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I have 2 left handed fireglo rics, a 74 and a 2008 and I am looking for a precision bass. I may part exchange if a good deal could be had.
stoko Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Hi all, newby here. I'm after a five string bass, lefty, lower range of the price bracket please! Anything about? Or any recommendations for models I should be looking at? Please send a Pm if you have anything, and use a large font size - I'm a drummer... Cheers, ears.

After a quick Google your best 'cheap' options seems to be a peavey millennium or a warwick rockbass. If you can stretch a bit further though, you could get a 5 string gl l2000 tribute which is one hell of a bass !

It would be easier to give some suggestions that way. I would also highly recommend buying second hand due to the facts that you get more from your money plus you can generally sell it for what you bought it for if it turns out you don't like it- you just need to know what you're looking for. If you give us a figure I'm sure we could throw a few suggestions your way. Here's a Shine 5 string on ebay, they're pretty decent for the money- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEFTY-Shine-Left-Handed-5-String-Electric-Bass-LEFTY-/110679366007?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item19c5011977"]link[/url] Edited April 29, 2011 by josh3184
stoko Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Cheers all. I'm looking at spending £2-300 ideally, I don't play much so can't justify spending more unless there's a super bargain doing the rounds?

And at £80 you're not really risking mch if you turn out to not like it. It obviously won't be the best bass though [quote name='stoko' post='1215311' date='Apr 29 2011, 08:59 PM']This look a good one, any good/bad stories of these?[/quote] Yamahas are good basses, although that is towards to lower end of their ranges. If it's brand new then that's probably a decent price for it. I've played the 4 string version of it and it was pretty punchy. Depends what kind of sound you're going for I guess!

Cheers for all advice.[/quote] I used to play with a band called March- not too big but played the Ship a few times and Mad Ferret etc. Practiced in The Mill on Aqueduct Street. Good fun but I left in December because of my uni commitments. What about yourself?
stoko Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Played drums in god knows how many sh1t punk bands over the years, currently playing bass for baboon and evil blizzard at the ferret every now and then, hence needing to get some half decent gear! Remember the name march, heavy stuff IIRC? Edited May 1, 2011 by stoko

Spectors are really good basses.
BELA Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Hi there, I want to sell my Maruszcyzk Elwood 4 string bass. I bought it a couple of months ago, brand new, and has never left home. No gigs, nothing. I bought it after selling my one and only 5 string and buying a couple of another 4 strings so now I feel like I want a 5 string again. I am asking 800€ with the upgraded EMG active pups or 650€ if you prefer the stock passive ones. The bass is in Spain and for shipping costs I would only charge (if shipped to the UK) the difference between shipping to the EU and to the UK. Thanks [url="http://img852.imageshack.us/i/bajos2063.jpg/"][/url]

whynot Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Bump for my US Jazz Deluxe from posts 851 and 854. Originally after £750 but open to reasonable offers as rarely used in recent weeks.

Mr. Foxen Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 My Dad bought me this in slightly misguided excitment at finding one of those big guitars I like: No so much good to me. £70 posted? I'll set it up and such, it is pretty much new. Might find a strap and some bits for it if it is going to a beginner.
whynot Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Hi All, Tough decision this but I'm currently reviewing everything bass related and have decided to put my Clover 5 into the market place at £900.00. It's a mid 90's 36" scale neck-thru graphite headless. Pickups and preamp are Bartolini. The neck was produced by SKC of Germany. They provided necks for all the Clover, Schack and Bogart basses. Not as chunky as the Status 5's. Shallow and fast. Most normal long scale strings can be used as the strings are held in place by individual screws at the nut (See my avatar). The bass plays well with no issues. I used it this past weekend on 2 functions. Covered all styles very well from Kings of Leon to Sinatra. As the bridge name suggests it is also a slap monster. I had an email exchange with Kai Eckhardt sometime ago as he has the same bass, electrics etc apart from the finish. Check out his You Tube clips playing the Clover. Cosmetically there is wear to the finish/gloss and some hairline cracks to the gloss on body but as you can see by the picture these are not so obvious. Have been speaking to a couple of bass friends in Germany and lefty 5 versions of these are very rare so the price reflects this. Would prefer any potential buyer to come and try and will forward more pictures on request although may not be able to do till the coming weekend as not around much till then. Thanks for looking.

Rick's Fine '52 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Not a lefty myself, but as a vintage collector/player, thought someone may find this interesting. Not often you see pre-70 Lefty Fender Basses, especially a slab board '60. Very, very nice, i know its had a refin, but it looks superb..very cool.

whynot Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Hi fellow lefties, I have put my Clover (from several posts back) on Arnis leftybass site at £850.00, so bottom line price is £800 if any Bass-chatters are interested.
