Finbar Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Bought this around 6 months ago off the forum, and can\'t really afford to keep it around. I have other things I need more than this bass! I do already have another one after all Basically, the original sale thread describes this far better than I could, so I\'ll link to it. Hope you don\'t mind Guy! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=31985&hl=conklin"]HERE[/url] I\'ve barely touched it since buying to be honest, so that advert should be considered up to date. Looking to cover what I paid for it, which is [s]£1200[/s] £1100. I\'m in Sheffield, and would prefer collection, but I will try to be as flexible as possible. Just be aware it costs money to put a bass in the post Any questions, feel free to ask Cheers, Chris EDIT: Cash only - No trades. I\'m not interested in other basses. Edited August 5, 2009 by Finbar
Golchen Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 With enough money and more importantly, space, I'd love to own that!
Finbar Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Has to go. £1150 Edited May 31, 2009 by Finbar
Matte_black Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Put it on the Stew McKinsey forum too... it's full of ERB players. Good luck!
Finbar Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Haven't put it on the scales, but at a guess I'd say it comes in around 12lbs? I've been playing heavy basses long enough for it to not bother me though. You just man up and get used to it Has a comfy leather strap too. Edit: Scales say 12 and a quarter ;p Edited June 8, 2009 by Finbar

Schnozzalee Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 If you had this.......what else would you need?

Finbar Posted June 27, 2009 Author Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah, I've been playing basses this weight for years now, I keep them on for hours at a time, and its fine with a decent strap. Just don't wear it round your knees!
dunetune_jazz Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Bump-afied I have 3 of these bad babies and I never get board of playing them they are awesome.... Jazz
Chris2112 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 It becomes a better deal every day! I hope this goes to a good gome, it reminds me of John Turner's "wave" Conklin bass.
Finbar Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 I'll take offers on this by the way. Just don't take the weewee!
Xzantes Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 If i wasn't in need of a new bass rig i would be all over this baby!
guyl Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 A big bump for Finbar and this awesome bass. (I'm really sorry to see it back on here Finbar!) People seem to get hung up on the 7 strings, but this is a really playable bass with a neck profile like butter. Finbar is a great guy to deal with and this bass is superb. I'd have it back if I hadn't blown everything he gave me for it on more gear! Good luck.
Finbar Posted July 5, 2009 Author Posted July 5, 2009 Ta Guy, I'll back that up - sales patter aside, 7 strings really aren't hard to play! And this one is no exception Sounds the part too. I just need to move this on to fund something else I really have my eye on, as this has never been my main bass since I've had it.
Jobiebass Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Gotta admit, Chris is a really sound guy to deal with, I bought his Marshall Rig off him and he is well trusted. Wish I had that kinda cash to buy it myself. id love to try a 7 Best of luck with the sale mate. I know you take real care with your basses, ive seen you at gigs making sure they stay away from anyone who might bump them. Peace.

I\'m not interested in other basses.[/quote] Hey finbar, I'm really interested in taking you up on this. The only thing is the price. Without sounding cheap, and i do apologize if it does, I could only probably conjure up a £900 to £1000 max at the moment. Being that i'm a music student this is a good offer on my side : ) I'm studying at leeds so i'd be more than happy to pick it up if all goes well. just a couple of queries though please, I sold my overwater 6er because of dodgy weight around the neck and I was wondering if you've had the same problems? Just be brutally honest please! Another thing would be the set up and changing the strings. Is there anything that stands out thats different about setting this bad boy up from other basses? i've had a 6er that had two truss rods so thats ok ( i actually prefer them! ) sorry if this is a waste of time thanks for listening Dan
