  2. Musicman Sterling 4H Bass USA & Original Case Lovely example of the earlier Sterling model (not to be confused with the Sterling imports from the East) I picked up in a trade on here this year. Made in the US in 2000 it has a recessed neck plate, three band EQ and slimmer body and neck. This is a rarer version with a black sparkle finish and matching headstock. It comes with original pearloid scratch-plate and a plain black laminated one. It weighs 3.9kgs so a nice lightweight example of this bass. Lovely balance and set up. It’s very easy to play and currently strung with D’Addario 40-100 nickel roundwounds. No issues other than a couple of hard to see dings. Great bass, only selling as it is rarely used since I prefer maple boards. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. No trades.
  3. It is fitting that those who have remained Abstinent for 50 weeks, should now find themselves battling at Boss Level. For those of us who were defeated in Round 1 by Mario's banana skin, I give you @Bass Direct, the Bowser of Bass Temptation...

  6. For me, with guitars/basses, it’s more about era when referring to something being ‘vintage’, rather than a dictionary definition. With Fender, it’s pre-CBS (up to end of ‘64), Musicman it’s pre-EB, Rickenbacker, it’s full width inlays etc. I had some ‘82 Fender basses, and while they are 43 years old, I would never call them vintage (despite the definition), they were sold as vintage reissues at the time, and I still consider them that. Maybe it’s an age thing (of me, not the instruments?!) 😜
  7. This is not intended to be one of those passive-aggressive posts aimed at taking down a perfectly good sale, but I am genuinely perplexed as to why a head with a one-valve preamp comes in at nearly two stone in weight. Is it just because it's built like a tank for the long haul? Or am I missing something obvious? (Probably the latter, but this is a genuine request.) Whatever the answer, good luck with your sale.
  8. Hi all Anyone have any experience with either of these two cabs and give me an idea of what they sound like? I err on the vintage/warm side of things and will be pairing with a TH500. Specs seem very similar and cost is close and they will probably sound similar too. EBS has some extra features (built in castors) and comes with a cover. I should play them really but none close to me to have a go with. Cheers
  9. £50 price reduction Trades - X Touch Universal. Try me with anything, I can only say no 😁 Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Chrome hardware and a vintage sunburst finish. Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and a basswood body. A retro instrument with a modern twist." Maple Top Mahogany Body Mahogany Neck Lignum Rosa Fingerboard Entwistle MBH Bridge Pickup Entwistle MBN Neck Pickup Jumbo Frets 42mm Nut Width 30" Scale Length Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.

  10. I had the stereo and sold it. Regretted it and bought the mono. It really is the Swiss Army knife of amp world. I’ve got a Markbass Evo 1 to try out at the moment which basically, has the Multiamp amps and effects but has two independent channels, which is exactly what I need. I think it’s what I’ve been looking for, for a long time 😁
  11. Today
  12. Black with maple board - what's not to like? - and great causes too. I wish you good luck with the sale and with all your fundraising efforts.

  15. Looks great
  16. Hmmm... If you were driving said Bus, you wouldn't have much chance of being run over by it. 🤔
  17. Think the maker was Joe Zon USA Maybe be wrong it's been known.
  18. Looks like a surface scratch, probably from a hasty string change.

  20. It might be my shonky 1980's Applause build.. the machine heads are not set as far into the headstock as a real Fender and so are not completely in line with the nut. the angle of doom is inherent in the OG build. Damn. Machine heads not in line + machine heads scalloped = badangles & buzz. Bugger.
  21. One of my greatest regrets was selling my MP-201 some ten years back. Finally, I got my hands on another. Mint condition. Christmas came early.
  22. even cheaper than the ones I got! similar sizing.. possible even slimmer on the string width
