  1. Past hour
  2. Haha Cheers Mark, I'm already trying to stop myself buying the Hagstrom H8-II that's in there, I've wanted one of those for a while!
  3. Mark bought a Phil Jones cab off me. Great comms and quick payment. All around, a pleasant and smooth transaction. Enjoy the cab mark Kind regards Ian
  4. Looks to be the iron Pewter version of this. https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/SR305_(2008–2015)
  5. Nice double humbucker version of the Sub4 with some little tweaks (or major as the pre amp is rather nice). Comes with a rosewood neck, presented in an unmarked metallic blue. So mods.. As with my other Sub2 listing, i dont like the cheap looking bridge on the Sub4 series, so this has been upgraded to the pre 2017 EB stingray version. 2 band JOHN EAST pre amp. Nuff said. its the dog danglies and unobtainium at the moment. Hipshot detuner, most excellent if you are into rage against the machine detuning mid gig. I know i have done it and it sounds great. Really stable and repeatable to use. Artec pickups. I tried the stocks and a few otherS i have laying around and the artecs are a really good match for the Je pre. Not too hot and well voiced. Carbon fibre style car wrapped scratchplate (over the original plain white) Its fully set up, in as new condition, not a boat anchor but not silly Glarry light either, around 9 lbs, perfect weight for longs gigs. I have gigged this bass a number of times and its a great gig ready instrument. New these are £499 so priced keenly bearing in mind there are £200+ mods on board. Can ship at buyers expense (insured), meetup anywhere nearish to the M25. or pickup/try out, Rochester, Kent

  6. So, I bought this as a Maple Neck and pretty much unmarked 3TSB body combo (matching headstock), nicely pre-routed for a battery box (this is a MB4 which is passive normally) I built this up as a gigging bass so have chosen nice hardware. Sub 4 pre amp and controls plate. pre 2017 style Mman bridge. Dual coil DELANO pickup Series/Parallel switching Fret End dressed so no finger biters here. The fretting is really good considering to price point. Takes a good low action and I have bevel filed the fret ends so good to go. 'ray scratchplate. Currently strung with flats (a la Bernard Edwards). I have gigged this bass and it sounds and plays great. Not heavy or Noisy. No issues, i just dont play 4 string as much as i did. Meet up anywhere around the m25, also can post for an additional £30, always insured. Pickup from Rochester is also an option.

  7. Thanks Mark, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Enjoy the cab Kind regards Ian
  8. The Sterling swap is still on offer, and am relatively local...
  9. Well my Z7 (solid finish so not ash, CBA looking up what it is) is 9 and a half pounds, and I don't consider that to be particularly heavy.
  10. Congratulations @cetera it is a stunner! Myself is a bit relieved that it's not a 5 string and even if it was it's not available (Ishibashi site doesn't show new items, only used)
  11. Spot on. My Z7 with the ash body is 11.2 lbs and on a 2 hour gig it`s just too heavy. Pity too as I love everything else about it.
  12. Had a cracking gig as dep in a UB40 tribute last night at the Big Tribute Fest 2025 in Plymouth. The band were headlining the Saturday night.
  13. This is a fine, almost mint example of one of these basses. I believe there are not many of these about. I succumbed to the temptation a couple of years ago, but I have no real use for this lovely thing. I can only find one tiny ding, on the rear lower bout. Otherwise perfect. And shiny shiny gold, with a nice dark fingerboard, and matching headstock. It plays very nicely, with all the fretless jazz sounds one might expect. Plus, it looks amazing. Yes, I am shallow. So bite me. My travel scales say it weighs 4kg bang on, so quite light I think. Nut width is 38.6mm, last fret is 64.4mm. This is not a fretless conversion: it started life as a fretless in the factory. Side dots are on the fret positions. It comes with a decent Bass Collection padded bag, with shoulder straps etc. £350 to you, guvnor. I will post very reluctantly, at additional cost, or I will meet within a reasonable distance. Or you can collect. I'm sure I must have forgotten something, so ask me if you want more info.
  14. Boxed Valeton effect strip/DI, after market PSU. used in cover band situations good basic effect package in a sturdy metal case.
  15. it's a beauty
  16. Aaarrgh I feel torn now! 🤣😭 I don't want to sell them, but really should to cover the cost of the cab I bought this week 😩
  17. Today
  18. Or have a change of thought on the role the bass takes in this particular band, moving to a more supportive instrument laying down a rock solid foundation with the drums. A band I really like that had keys was Rainbow and the various bassists although they played interesting lines they were def supporting the rest of the band really well.
  19. I have just bought a PJB cab from Ian. Great comms and super fast despatch of the item. Couldn’t be happier. Top man, trade with confidence. Thanks Ian. 🙏
  20. Wrong on several counts, I'm afraid. No amount of changing tone will prevent harmonic clashes - typically caused by keys and bass playing passing notes that are a semitone or tone apart. All that will result from changing the bass tone to cut more is accentuation of those clashes. No keyboard part is set in stone. It shouldn't be for the bass player to "remember that a piano is played with two hands and work with the keyboard player"? The bass has little choice about what to play, especially when playing covers. Obviously, you have to stay in your lane and avoid clashing with other instruments (I rarely if ever venture above the fifth fret). The main issue, as I point out above, is keyboard players playing the same way in a band context as they would solo, filling all the holes and taking up too much sonic real estate. As others state, songs by the likes of Elton and Billy Joel are properly arranged. It isn't by chance that the keys and bass (or keys and other instruments) don't fight one another.
  21. Hi. Here you go (from the Gator site)... Length 12.50" Width 19.00" Height 9.00" Cheers!
  22. If it's actually a serious unresolvable team problem the only solution is a Jazz or PJ and go Jaco honk thru the bridge PU only and crank the mids and vol ....That'll get everyones attention asap.
  23. PRICE NOW DROPPED TO £275. LAST WEEK TO COLLECT FROM LONDON DUE TO HOME MOVE... 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 NOW ONLY £300. Collection from East London preferred, although happy for buyer to arrange a courier.
