Rumble Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) This is a 'for trade' feeler. If the right bass doesn't come along then this can't really go anywhere given that it's the only bass I own (I'm monogamistic in the bass sense!.........and the marriage sense, I should add ) I'm really looking for a Marleaux, Smith, MTD or Roscoe 5 (or maybe something comparible) to tempt the F bass away from me. Bass is in top notch condition with no marks on it that I can see. All in perfect working order. Strung with DR's at the moment. Pretty good chameleon in the tonal sense, providing beefy jazz or P tones from a very flexible preamp. Let me know if you have anything of potential interest. As I said, really not looking for cash sale unless there's a Smith MTD or Roscoe going elsewhere on the forum. If there is, then I'd probably say £1400ish.

Rumble Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 Had a few offers, but nothing concrete. On reflection I should point out that the only bass I wouldn't need to do some A/B'ing with would be a Smith, so if you've got any other offers you might want to bear in mind that I'm in the West Midlands; prepared to travel, but within reason (i.e. Aberdeen would be pushing it!)

birdy Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Flanker and I used to own this bass (I think) and its a wonderful instrument!! Steve
Rumble Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the offer, but I can just about deal with 5! My ventures into 6 string territory have never proved that successful. I should also add, that I've had endless offers of a cash sale from overseas (probably due to the incredibly strong Euro / weak £), so if anyone has an MTD, Roscoe or Smith they want to sell rather than trade, please get in touch. I even had one guy, very kindly, provide me with 4 listings of basses for sale on Talkbass just so I could sell him my Fbass! Edited April 2, 2010 by Rumble
Randy_Marsh Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 wow! This really is as nice as you were saying... Wish i had the money
Rumble Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 Hey, Allistair. It is lovely, that's true. How you getting on with the Eden? Hopefully as well as I am with the LM!
Randy_Marsh Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 The eden is glorious, sounds so good with my warwick. Just hoping to get a new Pre-amp in it and then get a new cab and il be sorted until GAS flares up again haha. Whats making you want to get rid of the F bass? It is actually gorgeous
Pete Academy Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Beautiful bass, but sorry, I'm hanging on to my Roscoe.
Rumble Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Quick bumpety. Is it just that there aren't many Roscoe, Smith or MTD basses around, or more the case that nobody wants to part with them?!
Rumble Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Could also be tempted by a Status, but there doesn't seem to be many of those around either!!
NAS Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Beautiful bass. If only it was a 4. The only 5 I have is a custom Overwater with a WAL-like circuit. The only Status is a passive Vintage 4 Such is life! NS
Rumble Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 And a very nice 5 it is that you have there, sir!

Bolt on, walnut boby, mahogany wings & koa top...
Rumble Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 Right, I'm coming to the conclusion that a Smith just ain't gonna happen; an MTD has about the same likelihood and a Roscoe might not be the sound I'm looking for afterall........However, something which has caught my eye recently are Marleaux's. Every single one that I've heard seems to have just the sound I'm after, so........anyone out that got a Marleaux they're not using??!!
Rumble Posted April 15, 2010 Author Posted April 15, 2010 Had some interesting offers, but still available.
