The Accidental Birth: How The Fender Antigua Was Born
Grooverjr replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
Well I just used Google AI and it said the name was chosen "because it sounded exotic and luxurious". I suppose that type of colour scheme would have been luxurious in 60s USA. Still seems a misnomer to me. It would be interesting to show the finish to a random selection of people who don't know what it is and ask them what they would call it. I don't expect you would get Antigua or anything even vaguely similar. -

I've got a Double Trolley by Marc Grue. I got it broken and have mended it to be in usuable condition. I found this unusable, where the wheels were bent, and the wheel frame did no fit the stool, and the latch under the seat snapped and a few other problems. I've put a new latch on and rebent the frame, cleaned it up and tighten some loose parts so that it is in good working condition. I've have tried and tested a couple of times going to and from, and at rehearsals. This is a trolley which helps move your bass around and conveniently doubles up as a stool. Tyres hold pressure, and will require a bungee to fasten to your bass. Find out more about it here: https://doubletrolley.com/index.php Due to the size of the item, I would prefer not to post. Can meet halfway or deliver if not too far away. I can provide more pictures on request. Open to offers. Thank you

Zoom Ultra Fuzz UF-01: Sold Zoom MS-70CDR+ Multistomp Now the other end of the Zoom spectrum, the new version of the Chorus, Delay, Reverb multistomp pedal. Just not using it enough to keep, it's genuinely amazing but I've just got my sounds settled with other pedals. Had from new and never left the desk, absolutely immaculate with box. £90 posted with adequate insurance.

Basslab Standard VI - my wish to track it down
Hellzero replied to Chris2112's topic in Bass Guitars
Superb bass, I own a BassLab too: -
I'm selling my burgundy Z7, FWIW. Not because it isn't a fantastic bass, because I need funds for something else, and I can always buy another one some other time.

Fantastic, gorgeous, individual looking basses. Sound fantastic too.

neepheid started following Sire Z7 - with clear pickguard and John East knobs

I'm selling my Sire Z7 in burgundy, with clear pickguard made by Brian Pillans, and I'll not do you the disservice of putting the stock knobs back on, I will include the John East knobs (which look and feel so much better than the stock ones). You know what these are - HS Ray-a-likes with feature laden preamps and beautifully rolled fretboard edges. Basically selling it because I've seen something else I want and I figure I can always pick up another one later if the mood takes me. It's basically as new, no dings, no scratches, been well looked after. Original black pickguard will also be included. I'd like £300 firm for it. Shipping at buyer's expense, but as always I'd love a local(ish) sale.

Extra light prices have gone back up to £83 - mediums are still cheap. Going to try a set of mediums on a jazz and the EL's on a Ricky. -

***PRICE DROP NOW £1300*** 2010 US Stingray, 2EQ, CAR with rosewood board. One of the limited edition 133 basses, full fat ‘ray but with a soft gig bag case instead of a hard shell job. This is in excellent condition with one very minor ding on the top edge, and the pickguard is quite marked but obviously easily replaceable. Comes with a Hipshot D-tuner (long key though instead of short… doh), if you want the original tuner key I’ll chuck it in. I’ve also replaced the pickup with a Nordstrand MM4.2, which sounds flippin’ great. She’s quite heavy (10lb) but with a decent wide strap it feels ok. ***EDIT*** now comes with the option of a Warwick Rockbass semi-rigid case - photos added. Loathe to post this but can at buyer’s (insured) expense, or can meet in person at either Portsmouth, Southsea, Southampton or Lymington (I’m on the I.O.W.)

An end to price gouging by Viagogo and StubHub?!
Dad3353 replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
How so..? Do these agents deal solely in entertainment tickets..? What about transport ('plane, train, bus...)..? Museums, stately homes or monuments..? Holiday camps, camp sites..? Plenty of stuff to be sold apart from rock concerts, Shirley..? -

There used to be an easy way to report fake items or obviously fake listings. eBay seems to have removed all the easy ways to do this.

Sean started following Incoming Spector NBD - Euro 4 RST EX-LTD NAM
-
Due to arrive tomorrow and continuing a trend for Japan Exclusives (my third), here it is. I've had an eye on it for months. It's one of 5 made in that spec. EX = Exotic, LTD = Limited, NAM (Spector Colour Code) = Natural Maple. Nothing to do with NAMM but one of the 5 of these was at NAMM last year to show dealers what is possible with special orders. It's a 3-piece roasted maple neck with a 4A North American flame maple top, walnut sandwich layer, empresswood wing-backs and the headstock matches the top but seems to be gloss vs the matt finish of the body. The wood build is as per the standard RST but in a limited edition finish. It has EMG P (reverse) + J pickups with ivory coloured covers and the DG Legacy Tone Capsule where the standard RSTs have Aguilar humbuckers and an Aguilar preamp. There's an LHZ-04 preamp on standby ready but after playing Gary's CST the other day, I think I'm going to leave the DG in there for a while.
