Excellent condition, low action, great sound. All fully working, no issues. Kept in high quality Yamaha case (included) only gigged a few times. These are currently £900 new. Happy for buyer to arrange courier/post delivery at their expense. Full Description Thanks to a pair of powerful custom V7 pickups, you are provided with an incredible tonal range. Designed with alnico V magnets, the 734A delivers a fat, penetrating tone which perfectly complements the alder/maple/alder body. These organic, well-defined pickups have been carefully selected for the 700 series, ensuring players receive a uniquely versatile performance with the classic BB tone. Yamaha’s BB 700 series of bass guitars also comes equipped with powerful active/passive circuits, specially tuned to offer fine tonal control and extreme flexibility. Featuring a pickup balancer, active/passive switch, and 3-band EQ, you can dial in incredibly crisp tones and enhance the bass' tonal properties for the ultimate experience. Designed for excellence The BB 734A's body has been constructed from a unique blend of maple and alder, which increases the overall stiffness for an accentuated midrange to cut through dense mixes. The dense maple centre provides a more uniform transmission of vibrations between the body and neck than traditional 1-piece bodies, delivering an unparalleled resonance and sustain. The alder top and bottom provides the bass with a lusciously smooth, deep bass tone, beefing up the midrange while adding a slight sizzle to the high end. The maple/mahogany combination of the neck delivers incredible stability, while offering the best of both tonewoods for a bright, mellow sound. It has been designed with an incredibly thin profile, improving its playability and feel to suit modern and traditional players. Coupled with a rosewood fingerboard, the 3 woods provide the bass with a complex high end and a smooth playing experience. Its neck is attached with a 6-bolt miter neck joint, offering a more efficient transfer of string vibration thought the body than conventional bolt-on joints. The joint holds the neck closer to the body to provide a tighter hold and improving sustain and resonance. Vintage Plus bridge The bass’ vintage plus bridge enhances the overall sustain and resonance of the strings by incorporation a unique ‘diagonal body through stringing’. This is achieved by angling the strings at the saddle to pass through the body at a 45-degree angle, placing less stress on the strings as opposed to the more traditional vertical stringing. This method allows the bridge to transfer the string vibrations to the body reliably and efficiently. The vintage plus bridge also allows the strings to be attached to the tail end and features an offset saddle for the low B string.

Aye, and this reminds me of the gig of so-called avant-garde electronic music I once went to, where a reel-to-reel tape recorder, an amp and two speakers were the only things on the stage, and some guy walked on - - to a grand-but-ironic applause, to which he sniggeringly bowed - - and proceeded to said recorder and turned the lever to PLAY. I tried to protest: "Playback!", but got the big "SHUSH!".

For Sale is an Origin Effects DCX Bass preamp/overdrive pedal. Great sounding and versatile pedal from Origin Effects, giving sounds inspired by the UA 610 tube preamp. This pedal is really happy anywhere in. signal-chain, giving always on character at the start of a pedal board, shaping everything at the end, or as an overdrive/distortion effect. Very well designed and put together, making it really hard to get a bad sound out of this pedal. For Sale - £199 incl. postage and packaging to UK & Ireland (get in touch if needing postage further afield).

For Sale is this wonderful Khan VTDI. Wonderful tube preamp, that has served me incredibly well both live and in the studio. Sound amazing on bass as well as most other sources - a real go-to DI box in the studio. All in perfect working order, and sounding as wonderful as you would expect. Some scratches and marks to the enclosure that you can see in the pictures. This is a spare, that I no longer require. Price is £450 - not looking for trades at this time. Will come with an IEC power cable. Happy to sort postage to the UK & Ireland, let me know if you are further afield and I can sort price...etc.

Don’t forget that the Ashdown preshape button works ‘the other way around’ I.e. you press it in to defeat the preshape not to enable the preshape. That caught me out for years before someone on here helpfully pointed this out. Press that button in to get rid of the inherent boominess.

Yeah he was a trailblazer in the 90s, making music like a laptop creator years before those technological possibilities were realised. Plus he could write folk songs like an old man 🤯

Hi all, I have decided to part ways with this wonderfully versatile Flyrig V2. I am doing quite of lot of gigs which requires a more vintage sound and the Sansamp / SVT sound, whilst great and I do see it's merits and place, just doesn't work as well in the setting I am currently in. I know I can use it without the Sansamp sound but then what is the point of that!? I may as well just have a DI box... It's immaculate, with original PSU, tin and instructions. Some great instant sounds and being the version 2, you have the effects loop plus extra controls and channel settings on the sansamp. I used it the other night and it performed flawlessly, but it just doesn't suit what I am doing and can't afford to have multiple pedals laying around. The octafilter is a funny one but I found it to be really usable. Definitely worth a look at the tutorial videos online from Tech 21 to see how to get the best from it. £190 to your door, would be happy to look at a straight swap for a Microbass 3, or discuss a deal with something similar but I would like something with an FX loop so I know that limits my options. It isn't a deal breaker but is preferred.

Quantic? Not sure what that is. If you mean quantum then no, otherwise it could have both values at the same time -
Ditto. One of my fave basses, the ATK is 5.22kg and one of my SR 6 strings, just on 5kg. I haven't played a 4 hour set in ages, but I have stood practicing and writing with both on a strap for that long. No, as I still have a 1x15 and a 2x15 from the 80s and 70s respectively, but I like the ease of air movement that larger drivers have. I agree with the earlier comments about dispersion, but for 40y I've gotten around that with multi way cabs as I've preferred a clean wideband speaker that I can EQ to my tastes, not just having it baked in and smothering like an old Ampeg. These days with multiFX and modellers, I can make my cabs sound like just about anything, good enough for me and anyone else except for maybe the one old tone cork sniffer I might run into every few years. The cab currently under construction is a 15 + 8 coax, in 2 boxes so it will fit into the back of my sedan. This adds a little weight to the total, but it's 2 smaller boxes so each are easier to manhandle and the coax can be raised on a stick to ear height. I designed it for what I wanted as there aren't any commercial boxes available, new or S/H that do what I want.

So this is what happened. I read all the valued inputs here (apart from the one about all amps are dead🤣) and got a shortlist. The list was Agi AG700; GR One; Eich T900. Planned a trip to Bass Gallery for a start, they have 2 of those so a fair start. But I had a look on Reverb just in case. Just happened to find a mint Eich T 900 so I got it. This way I own it a while (maybe longer) and really get to know it. If I find I have any doubts I sell it on at a small loss and try one of the others. I think this makes fair sense - the effort of taking my bass up to Camden then compromising on a similar cab (they don't have any Vanderkeley 210s in) and make a hasty judgement in a shop... better than buying blind but not at all ideal. This way I get to use it for as long as it takes to be sure. SO FAR: Bloody amazed!. Had it a week, done 2 rehearsals no gigs yet. I have not even touched the EQ yet, it's all set flat. I've had a play with the taste control (basically a tilt control) and like that a lot. Early impressions are it suits the cabs very well, it's really detailed and clean but in no way sterile. Think I'll do a review of the rig soon, but very happy - how I think my PJ sounds, but louder. Thanks to all for sharing knowledge and experience, it got me to here and I am very happy👍
