thodrik Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The ad for the Trace V8 is haunting me at the moment...I hope somebody buys it quickly. The ad for the Trace V6 less so, so I bought one in 2013.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s mine, all mine..... I did some training with Jon Shuker and my surname is Orange. It seemed like fate to me.....

Booga13 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Ah, I remember you mentioning Mr Shuker when we did the TRB/Boomslang trade, it does sound a bit 'fatey' , can;t really argue with that😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Here's one with a happy ending: Not on Basschat, but I once responded to this ad on Leftybass.com by our own @whynot (no, I didn't actually save that screenshot that long. I just looked it up again ). I was slightly too late, it was already shipped to the USA! It always stuck with me though, I loved the plain look and the sharp contrast between the bright white body, the ultra black phenolic fingerboard, and the white epoxy Roman numeral inlays. I had never laid hands on a Status or any other graphite necked bass before, let alone heard one, but I had decided right there and then that I wanted one. Fast forward 11 years (!), this happened: The seller lived in the USA as a student when he bought it, but had moved back to Israel in the meantime. Again, someone was ahead of me, but still negotiating. Within a few days, I got a message the other potential buyer was no longer interested and we sealed the deal, and I couldn't be happier! It did turn out a fair bit more expensive because of import duties and VAT, but it was worth it. I still love that bass, and play it regularly. It looks even more fantastic in the flesh Edited July 7, 2021 by LeftyJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLOYDWT Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) This one haunts me. I didn't have the money for it in 2010. It was listed again in 2015 around the time I got married. I had the cash, but was keeping hold of it just incase I needed it for unforeseen wedding/honeymoon expenses. I'd resolved to buy it if it was still available after I got back from my honeymoon. Alas, it wasn't to be, but I picked up a Jamerson style Mike Lull P5 from the Gallery instead which is a great bass that I still own https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/82303-alleva-coppolo-kbp5-traded-traded/ Edited July 6, 2021 by LLOYDWT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I never knowingly passed over an advert for a Peavey B-Quad but it makes me feel ill to know a few have sold here without me knowing. If you have one, I'm always looking to buy. I'll drive anywhere in mainland UK for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modulus neck, piezo pickups etc. A bit of a risk these days as a few have suffered total electrical failures which seems to junk the proprietary setup, but a risk I'd take. I mainly just like them because Brian Bromberg is a total badass player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a cure for daydreaming about a bass with a 44.5mm nut – own one with a 42mm nut. Strewth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 There was a beautiful Wal replica that was for sale on here a few years ago. I looked at it a lot, and it eventually went before I could bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Did I mention this? If you bought it and want to shift it, give me a nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
