Ok true,

Here goes,

Thuya full facing over bubinga body, thuya back, Ebony board with beautiful abalone inlays, Kent armsrong pickups with the powerful Schack 18V circuit. I have had this for only a short time, it is immaculate, funky sounding, phat bass, I have done several sessions with it which are available on the net here [url="http://www.myspace.com/harrycoade"]http://www.myspace.com/harrycoade[/url] (the together remix) and here [url="http://www.myspace.com/harrysremixes"]http://www.myspace.com/harrysremixes[/url] (7 days, Frontin and naughty girl)

Thanks, Benn

Thanks man,

It is a damned fine bass, I am torn whether to let it go, everything you could ask from an instrument of this calibre, among the worlds finest made...

If I could get a hitman to bump the future ex-wife off instead of having to buy her out of the house, I'd be begging to try it out...

Beautiful instrument.

Hehe nice thoughts.

Rainy day, dream away.

[Lorne]

Damn-I wish I had the cash

[mistahbenn]

OK Guys, I really do need to let this beautiful bass go, it has only been in existance since 23/07/07 its not really even broken its cherry in yet... Life has got in the way and I need the money.

I realise the market is slow at this time of year, so Im putting the $$$$ to £1900 + post, Sei bass have just put their prices up by 15% so this really is a steal, and without the 12 month waiting time...

People are welcome to come a hold her, im based in the NW..

Cheers, Benn

Is it just a really bad time of year to be selling basses then?

[CS2]

Residuals have been down for a while. Lovely looking bass and I've loved every one of Martin's basses that I have played.

What do you mean residuals?

[CS2]

Sorry residual value. I work in the motor trade.

IMHO keep it.

[mistahbenn]

Bump

Is no one interested?

[lozbass]

I agree with CS2 - if there's any way you can, try to keep it. I have an almost identical flamboyant (different woods of course) - I picked it up for a little over 1200 and it had been on sale for more than a year (perfect condition, exquisite bass in every dimension). From what I see, residuals are bottoming out, especially in niche markets. 'Property values, market jitters and seasonal adjustment starting to hit the luxury goods market? I can understand there are pressures, but will you find anything as good or better - and your playing/technique certainly justifies something of this calibre.
