Hello chaps... I'm sure someone had mentioned the Wenge lefty MK1 from the Gallery when I looked here yesterday? The seller is a friend on Basschat, for sale thread here. Invalid Link Removed I am told all sensible offers considered.

Unfortunately I was too slow but this sold on UK Gumtree yesterday for £1200... I spoke to the guy and it was a genuine sale. Despite several people telling him the basses true worth he stuck to his original offer and sold it to the first guy who contacted him.... I even tried a cheeky higher...

It wasn't me.. I was beaten to it!

ah... I came on here to post this and looks like I was beaten to it. I would have posted the links quicker but I'm still recovering from seeing HaloHalo's buckeye MK3 :wideyed:

Wow... Is that buckeye?

Yeah you're right of course...there will be more :) I'd really like a sunburst one.

Turns out I was third in line! ... well it was a good price.

ah damn... just got an email from the gallery. It has been sold :rollno:

I have asked them to reserve it for me... but it might sell before I get a chance to get there!

Well it seems silly not to stop in and check it out as I'll be walking past anyway.

I walk past the gallery on my way home from work.... that pro2 is threatening my bank account.

The new base price for an MK3 six is £5450... Wish I'd got an order in for a fretted MK3 four string last week when I asked Paul about it!

Paul sent me a picture of the headstock veneer about two months before I picked the bass up, not long after I'd finally made a decision on the facings. It went on well before the body laminates looking at the dates of various emails I received. The neck seems to get done first then given time...

I chose the facings for my Ziricote a few months before the end but I needed Paul to get something specific in. I got an email four weeks before the bass was finished saying the facings had been joined together, so I think the body is a fairly quick part of the process... neck and electronics /...

Thanks for the warm welcome gentleman :) Some astonishing examples posted in this thread on a daily basis, great stuff... It's a little hard to make a fair comparison as the bass is so new and needs a little playing in for me to really be able to give an accurate answer. Initial impressions...
