  1. Past hour
  2. The Sapele body, wenge neck P bass is nearly finished. Just some knobs and strap lock buttons. This one has fought me all the way with neck shims, poly finish sagas, drilling through the headstock and accidental knocks. It sounds amazing though with Tonerider Precision Plus pickups and a Bloodstone Guitarworks solderless loom. Tuners are USA Hipshot Ultralites and a Gotoh bridge. I tried a custom headstock shape on this one. It will be sold as a player grade instrument due to the flaws but OMG does it play like a dream! I am tempted to keep it as the neck feels so lovely.
  3. But then we’d only have old vintage instruments to lust after. Yep, fair point 🤣
  4. Which pickups are in it? One pic shows EMG and in the others EMGx.
  5. That's a very nice example of a rare bass, and I would say a very good price. Fwiw there are MIJ Washburn & Daion/Yamaki - specific FB groups where there might be significant interest in something like this. GLWTS!
  6. I reckon everyone should chill out and stop making new stuff for a bit
  7. Coats are starting to build now. A couple more sessions and then the waiting game to cure before sanding and buffing.
  8. Having used it at band practice I need to get my black emperor back on the board to check but this is a beast! And using a dirt fixer to secure the low end oh my!! Sounds huge!!
  9. 62lb is 28kg, light enough?

  11. Something I was putting together as a backup but ended up with something else…… Slab Precision 66 type body. The paint is thin and not the best finish but not embarrassing. I didn’t paint it, it was like that when I bought it from here. It’s fine when it’s dressed up though. The neck pocket is bit oversized but when I fitted the neck (that I bought from here separately) , the holes lined up perfectly. I presume they are drilled for a standard Fender neck fitting. The neck is quite nice. It has Fender decals but it’s not a Fender. The decals have also been lacquered over. It has black Schaller tuners and a Geddy Lee neck plate. I think someone was building a Geddy at some point. The pups are Fender. They came out of a Mex Deluxe I believe. i was going to change the harness as it sometimes makes a crackle noise, not all the time, just now and again. Never got round to it as it’s so infrequent. Plays well enough and the neck is quite skinny. I haven’t weighed it but I would say it’s between 8-8 1/2 pounds. It could be a lot nicer with a bit of tlc but I’m not going to use it now and thought I may as well pass it on to someone. Collection and trial much preferred but I will post if the buyer arranges their own courier. I’ll throw in an old Gator case to ship it in. It’s seen better days so don’t think you are getting a posh new one 🤣 It’s a freebie!

  13. I thought it was a home studio queen?
  14. Hello! This is supposed to be a fender body from the 90s apparently alder, but can’t seem to find anything about the finish, anyone knows the name? Maybe it’s not fender?…could it be Antigua? Thanks for helping!
  15. Selling my 1992 Q5 as it has fallen down the pecking order behind my Clover and Maruszczyk basses. I've played this in a wide variety of bands and it's sounded great in them all, really nice to play - I personally love the narrower string spacing. It's been well played and it shows with a few dings in the hard maple body. Talking of which, for a headless bass with a graphite neck it is surprisingly heavy, will get the scales out and add weight in the next day or two. There's a couple of mods on it, the switch with led were fitted before my ownership to work with a different preamp - I had the original HAZ labs preamp reinstalled when I took ownership. The extra jack socket was probably for a wireless system which would have been tucked away in the extra cavity. The extra cavity is a factory feature - not added later. Original gig bag included. Happy for anyone to come to Cardiff and try it out first.

  16. Two keys players in one band?
  17. Used to play a JO5 love a Lakland 5 neck. The colour is top class and the ebony board looks great.
  18. Virtually new Fender Bassman 100 cover from Roqsolid, i got it to use while my flightcase was being manufactured so was only used briefly. Its a little dusty but will wipe. They're about £65 new + shipping Cover is in Hope Valley, happy to post within UK, probably gonna cost a tenner just for how small it doesn't fold up.
  19. For sale, my Octave Mandola OR Octave Mandolin (they are the same thing). Shorter scale than an Irish Bouzouki, this one is tuned GDAE in unison pairs (or courses). Condition is excellent, not quite mint and includes a nice TGI gig bag that is a perfect fit. Mandola is in Hope Valley (S33 6SB) for local collection or I could deliver locally too. Could attempt uk posting but it isn't as solid as a bass so I'd be a bit wary of that.
  20. Brand new, never opened as I got it as a spare when our old drummer used to sing, (Levon not Phil btw), clearing boxes to make space for new toys... Specs... 3/8" female thread 3/8" male thread Diameter: 15 mm Length: 400 mm Material: Aluminium Weight: 0.32 kg Finish: Black These are currently £20 new (+ postage) from thomann, this one is also new. It's in Hope Valley but I'll include uk postage.
  21. A few more bits from my now much tidier box of stuff, 2no Diago brand 18v adaptors (£15 +p&p each new) £15 inc uk postage for the pair. They're in Hope Valley if you're passing but uk postage is easily sorted for these.
  22. And I pulled out of the blue one as I was waiting on a sale that's now happened! Unfortunately I'm being sensible this month due to life demands. Very tedious.
  23. I prefer the peach one they did a couple of years ago.
  24. Ive got just the right suit to match if you wanted to borrow it 😁
  25. Just wear a tort suit*. Tort goes with every bass colour. TalkBass told me so it must be true. * bonus joke for the lawyers!
  26. Just on the subject of hall fees,when I contacted our local parish council to hire the rooms for the SE Basheroonie, I told them that surplus proceeds would be going to a local charity where I volunteer and they reduced the fee.
