  1. Past hour
  2. I can't believe so few of these were made, felt like they were for sale everywhere for years at a relatively low price point for a US artist model?
  3. Let see which one will stay
  4. How very true! We sacked our first singer as he always had an excuse. Three years was probably giving him too much rope…
  5. Here we go again... this is a great bass, but the length of it exacerbates my nerve pain, and no matter how incredible the tone is I need something a bit smaller that sits in a different position, like a Music Man. These are Jazz Bass size, with one extra fret, so a touch longer. I think that the magic of this bass is in the pickup, and not the pre amp as some folk have written online. I'm lucky enough to have bought a used pickup, which is pretty amazing as these basses are rare, so I'll be putting it into what ever bass I replace this one with - it has a huge output and sculpted tone. A maximum of 550 of these were made, with 250-275 in silver and the same amount in pink. This is another reason I've been reluctant to let it go; and also why I'm not all desperate to trade it - this advert is just out of curiosity to see if there's anything out there. Made in USA for about 2-3 years, this one from 2019. Weighs approx 9.33lbs / 4.23kg It's in a 9.5/10 condition, with just a few tiny marks on the back. Quatersawn neck, alder body, compound radius fingerboard, Tim Shaw designed pickup, Aguilar OBP-1, BA style bridge.... It's a beast. Comes with the original case and all candy. Trade only - for an EBMM Stingray Special, or maybe a pre 2018 Stingray.

  6. It’s always nice when a change inspires you. I was first looking for Lollar pickups for my 79 Yamaha jap pbass. I kept missing some on the used market. In that time a friend offered me some Bart’s. They sang in a way that inspired me to improvise for hours upon hours. I would like to try lollars at one point though.
  7. I have a pelham blue one. I have cobalt flats on mine and play 100% fingerstyle. Happy to answer any questions but too busy with a fast approaching deadline to do a vid at the moment.
  8. When I was young, you had your band and that was it. Getting into my 30s, I realised a lot of people had a few different projects on the go. I wound up doing the same and would regularly be in 3 bands at once. It peaked around 2019 where I was in six bands. However, being in a band means you put the work in. You show up on time, learn your parts and commit. I operated first come first served with bookings and actually having clashes was rarely an issue. Equally, you have to be gracious about people depping for you, if you are playing in a few groups. I've just gone the other way and currently have my duo that is pretty regular and just one band that is more of a recording project that do a few gigs a year at most. I was definitely becoming guilty of not saying no to things but I actually think if you aren't learning the songs, it's quite rude. Rehearsal is to learn to play as a band, not for the ones who are thinly stretched to be taught the songs, especially if they then forget them for next time. People have different levels of enthusiasm and offer different levels of commitment. However, there has to be a common minimum standard and if players are not meeting this, something needs to give.
  9. Richter BassXX 2-band preamp. Volume control pot and stacked bass/treble - Previously fitted to 1 pickup bass, so there's no balance pot included. You can either use a standard passive balance control, or I have an active Richter balance pot available separately (click here). Please Note: The connectors for the low battery LED have snapped off at the board.. so this feature isn't available, the preamp itself is fully working. Comes with black knobs and new battery connector. I'll include a battery clip if you need one, just ask. £75 including UK delivery (fully tracked/insured), payment via bank transfer (preferred) or PayPal. PHOTO WILL BE ADDED SHORTLY 👍
  10. I’ll do that tomorrow and drop you a message
  11. Serial number dates it to 2015, I don’t have an accurate weight but it feels a touch lighter than my Sterling, which is 4.2kg. Cheers Steve, are you sure you don’t need a backup? 😉
  12. Thank you. Indeed it isn’t
  13. Thanks Walshy. That'd be great 😎👍
  14. Richter MX2 - Active Balance Control. Used but in full working condition. 10mm shaft - For full specification click here. Can be used to balance 2 magnetic pickups, or mix a piezo signal with a magnetic pickup. Comes with the battery connector, which as you'll see from the picture was been cut short (previously connected to a battery box), so the wires will need extending/connecting to a battery clip. I'll throw in a battery clip for free if you need one, just ask. £60 including UK delivery - please contact me for other locations. Payment via bank transfer (preferred) or PayPal. I also have a Hipshot piezo 5 string bridge for sale (click here).. happy to do a deal on the pair 😉
  15. If the previous owner has used the discount, you can't use it. One discount per physical unit.
  16. Excellent condition (pedal almost ‘as new’, box is a little more beaten) MXR Studio Comp. This is famously EXACTLY the same circuit as the MXR Bass Comp, but with a different enclosure. MXR did this to sell it more effectively to the guitar market. To be fair, I think it looks smarter than the Bass Comp. This is MXR’s take on an 1176 comp I believe. Not much else to say, solid pedal, nice transparent sound, effective compression. Cool. £120 inc UK postage. No trades unless you have a Guild Starfire II in ‘Natural’ or a Sire P5R 5 string in white. Cheers Si
  17. Honestly you couldn't pay me enough to use the Seymour Duncan SPB-1, I had one and couldn't wait to get rid of it, LOTS of bass, no mids, not a great deal of treble. If I was playing dub reggae I would have loved it but in a rock setting (and by rock I mean classic rock not heavy rock) I got absolutely buried, the SPB-2 on the other hand is a fantastic pickup, not a great deal of treble but lots of mids, decent bass, when I had one I used to run one without a tone pot and got a great sound from it. Nowadays if I was looking at replacement pickups I would try and get one with as flat a response as possible and shape the tone with EQ but that's just my personal preference.
  18. Yep I have an Inverness Green one or whatever it’s called. Happy to do you a vid
  19. On the Sonny side of the Street - Frank Sinatra
  20. Still playing it or willing to sell it?
  21. Today
  22. Hipshot 5 string bridge, with Graphtech 'Ghost' piezo saddles - Used but in excellent cosmetic condition. Please note: One of the piezo wires has been re-soldered and taped (see pic 2), after being snipped by accident when removing a zip tie.. no issues, it works perfectly. Includes the summing board and the standard wire to connect it to a Graphtech preamp, as well as another wire with the connector removed at one end, for use with a different pre/buffer.. such as the Richter MX2 I'm also selling (click here).. happy to do a deal on the pair 😉 No original box but will be well packed for delivery. £150 including UK delivery (tracked and insured). Please PM for other locations. Payment via bank transfer (preferred) or PayPal.
  23. There are a couple of basses I have my eye on so make me a lowball offer and I might just accept.
