They can ship the bass directly to you which is good.  The bass has a bolt on neck too.  I'll keep my fingers crossed!

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Hornisse

The reserve still not met.  He probably wants a lot more than I'm willing to pay....

Didn't sell, again... topped out at £230 this time... pm'd the seller to be realistic or put her up in a dedicated collectors auction, and not on ebay... that was a realistic price for a bass by an obscure long forgotten luthier, no matter how well he should be remembered...  :sad:

You posted as I was posting, Hornisse (what is your name btw?). Did you "win" her...?

Did not win the bass.  Maybe he'll put it up with no reserve.  My name is Robert BTW. ;D

Well then, Robert, we'll just have to wait and see...  ;)

Dragged this back up as another one has just come up for sale, without a reserve... this one has researched the instrument, and even sbelled the name right...  :P

Possibly a bit high considering the best last time was £230...

Will keep an eye on that one Ken!  Is it too far for you to pickup?  Otherwise I can have him ship to you and you can mess with it for a while.

Not local (about 150 miles), but we now have a "serial Peter Cook" collector the site... not mentioning any Flat-Eric's... so we'll see what we see...  ;)

That plus the fact the price fluctuates as the dollar keeps sinking......

This one went for £257/$416 - went back up a third time at £210 and off she went... hope she found a good home...

I'm sure this has been up before at £300 ($484) but at this realistice starter price and as she's a fretless (read heavily modified) she may not attract as much interest, so may be interested myself...

Hi I am a newbie here so please be patiant.


Anyhow i would like to say that i have just been given a Ned Callan bass and it is the same model as the one JE is playing in the photo with the simms and watts amp.
It was going to end up in the skip but a friend saved it and gave it to me.It has a wonderfull sustain but i have never heard of this maker and i just wondered if anyone here as the same bass and maybe a clue as to what it is worth etc????

Welcome aboard, Eventide.

I don't know what it might be worth, there are a couple of people here who will be able to offer an opinion.

In the meantime, if you haven't already seen it, take a look at this thread: http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=4937.0
