ProseBass Custom V

[Happy Jack]

I was hoping to hang onto this bass for a while longer, but my amp bag was nicked from my car last night which has left a large hole in my pre-Xmas finances. Eden WTX500, Radial Tonebone, Zoom H2 recorder, etc. etc. All gone.

For full history and spec, take a look at: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52472"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52472[/url]

To get the best out of the Bartolini’s, the bass is now equipped with a ToneStyler pot (take a look at [url="http://www.stellartone.com/ToneStylerBass.asp"]http://www.stellartone.com/ToneStylerBass.asp[/url] ) which cost $110 but is worth every cent.

[b][size=4][color="#FF0000"]£450 [/color][/size][/b], or £500 including hard case, if collected from Chiswick (London W4) or the West End (London WC1).

Make an offer if you like - you never know.

I will post/courier, but at the buyer’s cost and the buyer’s risk. If sent by post/courier, it MUST be in a hard case.

Sorry to hear about the theft mate!

My mate had a load of gear, moulded in-ears & unit, mics etc, nickec out of his car, and he managed to claim on his house insurance. So maybe that's an avenue?!

Good luck with the sale!

That's awful news mate.
Is there any chance of getting your kit back?
I had my car broken into a couple of years ago and a tiny speck of blood left on my seat was enough to nail the crapweasel that did it.

[Happy Jack]

Regrettably, neither insurance nor blood-stains apply.

The car was in the car park of a pub where my drummer and I were jamming. He forgot his sticks and had to go back for them.

When we went back to the car two hours later, the back door was wide open. He'd either locked the car with the door still open or - more likely - forgotten to lock the car at all.

I'd never really understood why there are drummer jokes ...

[silverfoxnik]

Sorry to hear the news Jack! I've had gear nicked before and it's a horrible feeling...

Just to say that I've played this bass and it's really fantastic; the action is lovely, it's veryy versatile tonally and really well made!

Good luck with the sale..

[skankdelvar]

Sorry to hear this, Jack. Good luck with the sale and hope things look up.

[OutToPlayJazz]

Sorry to hear about the theft, Jack. Best of luck with the sale & personally, I'd slam the car door on the drummer's head!

[Happy Jack]

Thanks guys.

Luckily I'm a bit of a gear-head ([i]cries of "No! Surely not!"[/i]) so much of what got nicked can be replaced - at least temporarily - by a trawl through my garage. It's not ideal, especially just before a week when I have two gigs.

I'd already decided just a week ago to switch basses for these gigs (don't ask - long story) so the result is that I'll now walk on stage carrying a different bass, running through a different pre-amp into a different rig.

Reckon I'll still be using the same fingers, though.

[jakenewmanbass]

Really sorry to hear of the theft Jack. *&^E!£*&!*&^!%@£$^&%!£$*^£&%^!@£ Scumbags

[Prosebass]

The world has its scum all right , sorry to hear you were a victim Jack

Nice bass .....I should know , worth every penny and more especially with the tone styler fitted.

[EssentialTension]

Sorry to hear about this Jack. Horrible feeling, I know, even without thinking about the money of it.

[Happy Jack]

Give me a [b]'B'[/b].

[Ou7shined]

Give me a [b]'U'[/b]

Give me an [b]S[/b]

What's a Bus got to do with it?

That's awful, Jack, really sorry to hear it.

[Happy Jack]

Seeing as this didn't sell before Xmas, I've been having fun with it in my Music Room (hah!) at home.

However, I'm now lusting after that Bravewood P-bass so I could be really quite flexible with offers for a quick sale.

Go on ... try me. This bass has a truly monster tone and real presence in the mix.

[BassJase]

Thats one great looking bass mate, really wish I had the cash for it!

[Schnozzalee]

Jack's a top guy to deal with, only has cracking gear. Once again I'm really tempted by this, just looks like the most playable bass I've ever seen. Hope you get the Bravewood, I don't know a lot about them but I've only heard good things. Really sorry to hear about the theft!!

[Schnozzalee]

On a side note....If you ever decide to sell the Goodfellow on lemme know n I'll buy it

[oldslapper]

That is THE prettiest bass I have ever seen!!! I want, but I mustn't buy another bass.....no no no...

That doesn't surprise me, y'know. That Goodfellow is one very fine bass.

[Happy Jack]

Bump - come on pub giggers, you know it makes sense to have a bullet-proof 5-string tone monster that no one is going to nick because it doesn't say "Fender" on the headstock.
