Price drop £375 Ono

As suspected no problem at all with the bridge pins, they all come out perfectly easily.

Recently took this wonderful Nordstand Power Blade 4 out of one of my P basses as I've been looking for a more vintage tone. The pickup has the black magnets (which have some wear from playing) for the stealth look and has an amazing, punchy modern p tone with a very lovely mid range presence. Can include the black pickup screws that came with it. £80 delivered ono

If this was an 8… id still be skint 😣

Yea it’s still for sale. Sent you a personal message.

Slowly clearing out my collection of these, this is my last one. Hardly used, great condition, has 97% the sound of the Acme Motown DI when tested in the studio. Bombproof and tiny. Not a lot else to say really

top cables make a smiley face

MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, early model I believe, so has a bit of noise when used. Can be heard in this video, I might be overly cautious mentioning the noise. If you can’t hear it, great, grab a bargain.

Reduced to £75 before eBay beckons. In very good condition, boxed and fully functional. Can be powered with a 9volt battery or a power supply. A PSU is also included in the sale as well as a Midi lead and a printed A4 manual. Please note photo shows 2 Midi leads in error, only one with the pedal - the longer one. Peter The Midi Moose is battery operable and provides a minimum of 200 hours usage. A cutting edge battery feature turns off the numerical display after 5 seconds in oder to conserve power. In the event that you forget which preset you were on, you can step on the individual patch LED that is still it, waking up the display to your previous display without making any changes. Specificiations MIDI I/O: Out Height: 1.5" Width: 17" Depth: 3.6"

actually used one of these for a small pub gig and was great worked wonders so, would recommend to anyone who wants one

Now £1350 Just when you think life is agreeably predictable it can throw you a curved ball. I'm faced with having to move and downsize considerably. 7 basses is several too many. This lovely instrument from Mike Walsh in Essex is rather special. Tonally it is much modelled on the Aria SB1000. I traded it from Mark, the original owner, with another Zoot that he had built and sold on to me. Incestuous. 32" scale with a 7/8 sized Zoot body. English spalted beech on a light weight American swamp ash body. Spalted beech facing on the headstock. The neck is roasted Canadian flamed maple with purple heart stringers and ebony veneers. Hipshot hardware. And now for the electronic components that were used to replicate the SB1000 tone: A Rautia MB-1E pickup. These are no longer available. Prostheta’s BB Noisekiller preamp. A 6 way Varitone circuit built to purpose by Mike. The bass has added tonal variety courtesy of a series/parallel switch, an active/passive switch and a passive tone. It isn't a one trick pony by any means but some of the settings produce distinctly 80's sonics unlike I've heard from a bass before. The bass is very light, 7 1/4 lbs on bathroom scales. Nut width is 40mm and string spring at the bridge 16mm. Complete with a hard case as shown. Can be tried and collected from Kendal. Will include an unused set of Newtone strings. I will courier to UK addresses at cost. Mark's build thread is here: Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Peter

Yeah that’s the video that convinced me to buy it.

Maybe, it’s currently fighting for it’s life against the Anagram

Some more pics

I used to have a cheapy 8 string ,and didn’t really gel with it . Sounded a cross between mr. Tambourine man and a Greek wedding. This looks much better , with better string intonation etc . Put this with a distortion pedal ,and you have instant Kings X ! Glwts
