She is back up again…

Owing to a change in work circumstances I will be selling 2 of my 3 bass guitars. This is the listing for the first one, an Alpher Hammerhead 4 string in fantastic condition. This is a tremendously versatile instrument with a huge variation in tone available via 2 custom wound Sunbear 51 p dual humbuckers and the 4 button pickup selection This bass has a standard tone pot rather than the 10 way selector switch. Here’s the spec, 21 fret 34 inch scale 1 piece curly Sassafras body Natural finish Gold headstock Logo Flatsawn Wenge neck Figured Ebony fingerboard (12 inch radius) 39mm brass nut width Jescar Evo Gold 43080 fret wire Luminlay side dot inlays 2 x Sunbear 51p humbuckers Brass patina pickguard Passive: Volume, 4 x on/off buttons (one for each coil) + normal tone pot. Hardware Gold / Black Mixed Hipshot Kickass Bridge Hipshot Ultralite Lollipop Tuners Schaller S-locks Black metal knobs Newtone Alpher strings 45-105 (nickel) Weight: 8lbs 12oz Hiscox Case included, along with multi tool. Alpher themselves have sold basses via their website recently, one ex demo @ £2495 and it sold within a week. There is a blue one in their web shop at the moment for the same price. I have priced mine at a lower rate to try and encourage a reasonably quick sale. I am based in Wigan. Any prospective buyer can call to try the bass without obligation.However I can deliver free of charge throughout the North West and meet up with any buyer elsewhere by prior arrangement. Thank you.

Bought when first came out. Really great case, just don’t use it anymore.

I was up in Morecambe last week to give this a try. Sounded excellent! It's got some proper mojo. I had been concerned about the damage on the back of the neck but you cant feel it at all, or at least I couldn't. I opted to go with a 74 I found at a dealer. GLWTS mate, somebody needs to give this a good home!

While each bass player’s ideal tone of choice is as unique as their fingerprint, the quest to capture it is universally difficult and rarely obtained. The Bergantino Super Pre is the solution to this problem. Amazingly expansive and remarkably encompassing, the Super Pre covers all ranges of your sound – from enhancing your clean tone, to adding gain, to offering a wide range of compression, to the precise control of your EQ, to wielding bold distortions, overdrives, and fuzzes, this powerful unit the size of a cigar box has you covered. Whether you’re hitting the stage or the studio, this is the tool that will make your sound distinctly you. Jim Bergantino has made a career out of raising the bar for bass amplification through his award-winning amplifiers and cabinets that are used by many of the finest players around the world. Always evolving with the times and remaining one step ahead with his innovations, it’s only natural that his latest creation contains his universe of tones in one compact box. With the evolution of the gigging bass player, the Super Pre was designed for low enders of all levels and styles to have the freedom of taking their tone with them wherever they go. Regardless of the genre you play or the size of the stage you step onto, this unit has you covered.

Lovely looking bass - especially the colour. I’ve long admired these. I play an early passive BB5000 and am wondering if anyone has direct experience of how these compare? GLWTS CB

I now have said 12 string and this is now £400.

Gotta love a USA Sterling, a better all rounder than a stingray in my humble opinion.
