good idea....?

Shergold bass

is this worth buying, its about time i bought a bass, esp a shergold bass too, but is this guy just having us on by saying its new old stock ?

or should i just fuck it and buy it as a birthday present to meself

any ideas?

Treat yourself

It looks very nice, it could be new old stock, I had some dealings with this guy last year, he had put several shergold guitars and basses up on ebay again NOS, so I asked him if he had a marathon 6, the replies I got were a bit strange, like it was two people, one of which didn't know what I was on about, and nothing came of it.

If you've never played bass before, go to a decent music shop and get some advice, have a play even if you can't play, we all have to start somewhere, and it is embarrassing, but it's worth it, set yourself a limit, then spend double that amount!

Good luck with the bidding if you go for it.

I'm toying with the idea of saving for one of these http://www.music-man.com/instruments/guitars/silhouette-bass.html a bit dear, but it seems to have a nice thin neck

i've had a few odd responses from the seller which is putting me off slightly at the moment, but Jem is right, treat yourself:D

i've played, but only just a few moments on other peoples and that 8string shergold which was for sale few months back in manchester and im on me way to Johnny Roadhouse ( R.I.P ) tomorrow to sort out bridge, jack and strings, mr counter and fix it man said they had a fair few parts lying around, necks pickups the lot.

plus i've got to start somewhere eh, why not shergold i'll only kick myself for not getting it, like with the double neck shergold few weeks back.

haha, and as for my limit, got 1.3k left on my student loan to last me til 15th May, plus i work, soooo im going to go for, finally get round to getting a bass,

if i do win it, you'll get sick of me asking for advice etc...

oooh, now that looks well, shit, but reading about it sounds soo tempting to me even,

i've always been put of by the ernie ball series, just never like the name, so i've always avoided them, but 6string bass, shouldn't be in doubt

treat yourself!

not in the end, decided not to buy from the seller, just lack of comm and when they did, well like you said not a clue so i'd rather waste my money anytime hence the cherry red bass:D

hopefully the guy will sell it for hmmmm a bit less bcos i really really want it

well let's hope, to be honest if one ever goes for sale, there will a revolution on NOOL,

got him down too £265, what you reckon?

little unsure, but this time tomorrow i will drunk and i will buy it for an arm and a leg

You lucky bugger, have a look here for the scratch plate, but it looks great without it., make sure you stick an mp3 on of you plaing it, we need to know how it sounds.

i've tried there, but still waiting for my account to be validated, Hooky's Six String Bass is on there too, and there's a guy who machines parts on demand, still need a new bridge for me masquerader

ha must be bloody kidding, even then i wouldn't, i couldn't even play properly in front of me guitar teacher *edit - i am a nervous wreck
