  1. Past hour
  2. ...and free (mainland) UK delivery.
  3. We are all here together to enjoy these beautiful instruments. Would never want to be dishonest about a bass. I do think the neck is fixable, and as it sits now the action could go a bit higher which might sort it out. If I had the time I'd get it looked at, but 2 year old twins and hobbies don't mix.
  4. It's appalling as ever so unless it's a Black Monks tribute...
  5. I bought this new and enjoyed it but time to move it on. Gibson Les Paul Jnr double cutaway reissue, bought in 2019. Short scale, mahogany slab body, weighs in at nice and light 3.3kg. 40mm at the nut, 18mm string spacing. Very good nick, tiny surface scratch on the back of the upper horn that I couldn't get to show in a picture. Some scratches on the, erm, scratch plate. Couple of teeny ghost marks from a previously fitted Hipshot Supertone bridge. Otherwise in really good nick for a heavily used bass. Single pickup with coil tap gives a decent range of tones - the positioning makes it less muddy than, say, an EB-0. Lightweight USA Hipshot tuners were standard. Fitted with TI Flats and currently set up at my usual agricultural 2.5mm at the 12th on the E. Comes with a Gator guitar hard case that fits like a glove along with birth certificate and a few other bits of junk that came with it. Giveaway price of £550 collection only from Benfleet in Essex, 20 mmins east of the Dartford crossing along the A13. Please, no offers and no trades.
  6. How's the lead guitar work coming on? I may have a job for you
  7. I don't often these days suffer a chin-drop when clapping eyes first time on a bass. But that's quite something. GLWTS. P
  8. 2011 G&L Tribute SB-2. The main thing about these that people have an issue with are the Vol-Vol controls and no Tone, although you could twiddle about with them to have an impact on tone..... apparently. I was bored one day so decided to change the controls to concentric stacked controls for each pickup so each one has Vol-Tone (like what you'd get on a Flea Jazz or a 61 Jazz, copy, reissue or original). The MFD pickups are both very high output as you'd expect and given the neck p-pickup is a four-wire, more tinkering can be done with it 🙂 Weighs in at 9.2lb. No hard case but might be able to find a basic gig-bag for it. It's seen better days cosmetically as it was a working bass and the body needed buff up to get it glossy again. Having said that, you can still see the very fine lines and wear on the lacquer surface. Has a few dinks here and there too, but given it was used well, as it should be, and not sat in a room it has the marks you'd expect to see. I also didn't scratch off the 'Tribute' part of the decal, by the way. Despite any cosmetic issues that some people may have it plays great and is all set up with 100-45 rounds and good to go. Frets levelled, not that they needed much work on them, and as seems to be the case with Tributes, a bass shim is in the neck pocket to offer more play at the bridge rather than the saddles being almost sat flat down. Can post if need be.

  9. Bought a Lenova E10 tablet from @leschirons, it was a terrific and smooth transaction, thanks Keith John
  10. Now set up in standard tuning wearing rotosound flats and I will include the old 50-110 rounds too
  11. Been there, done that. I used to live far out from a remote village, that was in the middle of nowhere, where nowhere is on the outskirts of beyond
  12. Selling off some basses now I am bandless! 2021 Gibson SG in glossy piano black. Short scale, 2 pickup. A lightweight 3.3kg 40mm nut width, 18mm string spacing at the bridge. Bought this a couple of years ago 'nearly new' for my blues rock trio and it totally delivered for that genre. There is more to it than Jack Bruce, though - lots of tones available by different blending of pickups and tone. There are a few surface light scratches, a weeny bit of buckle rash on the back. The only blemish is a chip out of the headstock as per picture - other than that it is a great nick. Came with Grover tuners as standard and the bridge has been changed for the Hipshot Supertone. Not sure if I still have the original anywhere. Everything works. The action has been set to my usual agricultural 2.5mm at the 12th fret for the E string. Orignal Gibson branded hard case and sh!te that came with it. Er, that's about it! I forgot to do the post it but I am not taking the pics again! (edit - fitted with TI Flats) At this point collection only from Benfleet in southeast Essex. 20 mins east of the Dartford crossing along the A13. I am asking £700 which is a giveaway price so please don't be offended if I don't answer any offers very favourably 😀 Not interested in trades, thank you.
  13. I agree with the FDeck suggestion above. A pretty inexpensive piece of gear that will stand you in good stead over the years even if you upgrade / change pickup / amp.
  14. Nice one for accepting the return and being upfront with the new listing, goes a long way to add a sense of trust to the community! Hopefully nothing that a decent luthier couldn't improve. I had a similar issue with a Warwick bass that got fixed up nicely.
  15. And I was playing bass for Ian!
  16. Up for sale a time machine beauty, Yamaha TRB6P, Made in Japan, in almost perfect condition. Everything original down to the last screw, no dings to write home about. Serial number tracks down to June 1988, making this one of the very first pieces produced. This basses usually have flame maple two-piece top but this one has an incredible quilted maple, making it even more unique. Neck is straight as an arrow, as you would expect from the 5 pieces maple and mahogany neck-through construction, capped with the black ebony fingerboard. Trussrod works perfectly in both directions. Pickups, piezo and preamp all original and in perfect working order. No case. Bass will be professionally packed and shipped with air courier. Insurance will be provided. Price is 2200 GBP/2600 Euros, which include shipping to UK or UE countries and insurance. Now the eyes candy…

  17. Bought on a whim that I thought I was going to build something, but never transpired. Brand new, unused, Swift Flightcase. I think it was sold as a dj case for decks, and has the foam to match. Internal measurements are 780mm x 460mm (301/2" x 18"). Would prefer collection from North Somerset (and don't mind driving a bit to meet up) as I've nothing to put this in to protect it.
  18. 01:29 Pete (where's the book Pete?) tries for his first windmill and ends up twatting the overhead drum mic 🤣
  19. Beast of a cab at a great price.
  20. AS NEW Spirit by Steinberger deluxe padded gig bag for headless XT-2 and XT-25 bass guitars. Large pocket for accessories, plus adjustable shoulder straps. Will fit any similar headless models, such as the Hohner B range. Only £25 shipped (retails for £39).
  21. Hi. Here you go (from the Gator site)... Length 12.50" Width 19.00" Height 9.00" Cheers!
  22. Thanks, Terry – much appreciated, mate. It's too good to be a backup!
  23. Easily the best speaker cabinet I have ever used: am downsizing to lighter Genz Benz cabs as I rarely play live now. The Eden D210XST Cab is loud enough to be heard and yet still small enough to be used at home or in a small studio. For those players who need a portable, high-performance rig with even more low end than the XLT, Eden has designed a 2 x 10" cabinet for their XST woofers. Punchy and clean, the D210XST produces a full and clear tone through its two 10" speakers. It's excellent for delivering articulate bass lines with volume. This 2 x 10" cabinet handles more power than many 4 x 10" cabs on the market. The D210XST offers huge bottom end with its cleverly-designed tuned and ported cabinet construction and speaker selection: the low end is full but tight, the mids are open and well-defined and the highs are clear and crisp. Durable build quality makes this ideal for touring and live performances. All Eden enclosures are constructed with 5/8" thick void free plywood with full dado and rabbet jointing. Massive internal bracing prevents vibration and keeps the sound deep, tight and clear. Exclusive Eden Cast Frame loudspeakers and Eden Cast Bell low distortion tweeter horns are designed, hand-built and tested in their own factory in the USA. Very Good condition. Comes with an official Eden cover. Power Handling: 500 Watts Impedance: 8 Ohms Speakers: 2x10" Eden-spec Eminence EC1060XS speakers Tweeter: Eden Cast Bell low distortion Crossover: 3.5KHz @ 18dB Frequency Response: 30Hz - 14KHz Sensitivity: 103dB SPL Connections: Parallel 1/4 Inch and Speakon Dimensions: 23" w x 18" h x 18.5" d Weight: 59lbs / 26.8kg Only £325. Collection from East London preferred, although happy for buyer to arrange a courier.
  24. Ever wanted that mega Bi phase action like a musitronic! But smaller and cheaper. These are difficult to find, so my last bump.
