  1. Past hour
  2. Budget Jazz Bass in excellent condition. A Stagg branded jazz with a maple neck and lightly flamed maple board. P bass nut width. Controls are as standard aside from the series/parallel switch. Plays and sounds very nice. Alder body (according to the spec sheet) which is Quite light and full sounding, and rare at this price point. Could do with the funds but im open to trades for amp heads or pedals possibly. Postage possible, collection/meet preffered. Cheers

  3. Something simple but effective, as they say. Mostly an exercise in note recognition, the complete 11 minute Sam Jones performance of the tune 'Autumn Leave' from the classic 1959 Cannonball Adderley record, 'Somethin' Else'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/autumn-leaves-cannonball-adderley/
  4. Maybe a solder sucker might have helped. Cheap ones are only a couple of quid.
  5. Thanks. Have another biscuit ! These are stunning basses in appearance, even better than my photos and the pickups / preamp don’t disappoint either. I couldn’t find any other preowned one’s for sale in the UK currently so this is a great chance for somebody to enjoy a magnificent bass. Cheers. Quent
  6. Play Ball - AC/DC
  7. I'm not sure why, but he's stopped building. If you look at his Facebook and website it's all been taken down..and the last couple of Instagram posts references his last items being made 😞
  8. Q\Strip in very good condition. Clean Velcro applied to underside. A very nice piece of kit, just surplus to requirements. Price includes UK postage.

  9. What happened to the company?
  10. Drop to £2000 before withdrawing.
  11. OEP transformer I saw in a gut shot on social media. maybe I should have done my plan of a diy clone of the hellborg preamp !!
  12. I doubt it was down to the film... the different plastics of the ply shrinking or gassing at different rates - some early celluloid plates resemble thise 'Shrinky Dinkies' of the 80's
  13. Following in case you decide to split these up - Would be interested in the Blower Box, but don't need the rest of them!
  14. Today
  15. Blimey, had a rehearsal this morning, lots of swing jazz, probably used every note on every string up to 10th fret or so. Plenty of notes available even on a four string, a shame not to use them.
  16. Now just £310.00. This amazing emulation of the acoustic control corporation 360 preamplifier with variamp and built in fuzz is up for grabs. Hand made by the renowned JC Maillet and commissioned and imported by myself at great cost. I have used the 360+ for studio recordings, gigs, rehearsals and at home, it has never dissapointed. The preamp sounds fantastic and the fuzz section is the best I have used. I have owned this pedal for a good few years from new, as can be seen it's in pristine condition. Specially sourced UK power supply also included. Will happily run from other sources with the right leads (I used it with a trex chameleon). Fully detailed printed instruction manual also included. Only available as I have more preamplifiers than I can use. Try out/collection always welcome, or UK insured postage for £15.00

  17. I’ve tried both, Ampeg for me. It wins on tone, range of features, price and separate pedal switch to engage the drive
  18. There is always something to learn about these instruments.
  19. Excellent photos... Really shows the pristine condition of that bass well. Someone is gonna get a beautiful instrument there...
  20. Looking good😎
  21. Hi peeps F/S are a set of neck and bridge pickups for Rickenbacker style basses. These are the single coil with static impedance of 8.2k Ohms (neck) and 8.4k Ohms (bridge). Bought in anticipation of a project that never happened. As you can see they are unopened but I have added in the pics from the Retrovibe website for clarity and a link to the relevant pages. These are just shy of £120 inc. P&P from Retrovibe, so offered at a very reasonable £90 inc. P&P to UK mainland by Royal Mail Special Delivery. Neck: https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-rick-style-neck-pickup/ Bridge: https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-rick-style-treble-pickup-and-chrome-surround/ And some pics:
  22. Well worth subscribing to Gerry of Haze Guitars informative email newsletter https://hazeguitars.com/subscribe
  23. Like new and less than a year from purchased from Anderson’s. perfect condition and complete in box. mega pedal. A fantastic synth style dirty fuzz. smooth. £150
  24. I managed to get cracking and get the P bass playing the way I like. As I suspected the plastic film that was still on the scratch plate had welded itself to the tort plate. On closer inspection the plate was warped whilst it was screwed onto the bass, I don`t know what was going on there, was it because the original film was still on the plate after 15 odd years? Anyway I ordered a black 3 ply one from Northwest Guitars for £22 with next day delivery and it fitted perfectly with all the screw holes lining up. Next a new set of EB`s Slinkys, I oiled the fretboard and it was good to go. Intonation was perfect so maybe it was set up when it was bought? The bass plays and sounds great and the neck profile is perfect for me. Overall I`m very happy with this purchase @DGBass I have taken a pic of the tuners for you.
  25. wildly inaccurate (relative to Jazz) would be my analysis and experience
