Title: 87 Stanley Deluxe - Considering trades.
Post by: echo008 on January 05, 2007, 09:29:01 AM

Hi Guys,
 I am really thinking about trading my Stanley Deluxe for something different ... something 34 inch, 5 strings and something of similar value (Which I place at around 2700-3000). For the right Alembic I would throw in a set of knobs from Roger over at THG Knobs (Rosewood cap with MOP line marker and Ebony base with Skirt) I also have 4 Ebony tuners on order that I am waiting for which I would think about sending along as well once I get them. The bass has just recently been strung with a Set of Short Scale DR (nickel) Sunbeams and I would throw in a set of hardly used Short scale Pyramid Flats which cost roughly 60-70 dollars. The bass would ship in a Custom, Modern Case Company-Hard/Light case that fits the bass perfectly.
 
The bass has a few bumps and bruises but nothing major. it is a sweetie for sure it plays and sounds wonderful.
 
This thread is really just a feeler I just wanted to see if there was any interest and what else was out there (if anything), I am in absolutely no rush at all, and I reserve the right to cancel this thread at any time when and if my senses return  
 
Thanks for looking!
 - Tom

Sure is a lovely bass you have there. My favourite alembic body style. I'd love another to tune up as a tenor bass but.... I will resist for now.
 
All the best with the sale/trade.

Hi thanks for the kind words ... I am torn about this one and might just pull this thread but I really need a 5 stringer at this point.
 
BTW:
I just edited my original post a bit to reflect the change, sorry for any confusion.

Yes this looks very nice, nicer than the Essence you had that I almost purchased from Brian. That bass too was nice! I need to quit looking at the pictures now before I buy this!
