Superb jazz inspired bass with a modern take, nut width feels closer to a Precision but neck not as thick. Fitted with my preferred 35-95 Rotos with a low action, no unwanted fret buzz it really plays and sounds great. I have two and have decided to let one go. Its obviously been played over its 24 years so has some tarnishing, dings and scratches none of which affect functionality, really sad to see it go but letting stuff go to get a mortgage deposit going.

I've had these a while, using them in various amps with valve preamp stages, but my move away from such amps means they are now surplus: Mullard ECC83 - code B6B3 means made in Blackburn, third week of February in either 1956, 1966 or 1976 = £50 Mullard ECC83 - (code backward3)91 means made in Chelmsford for Mullard by Marconi, but not sure how to date the rest = £50 Mullard ECC81 - no code that I can see = £25 Caveat Emptor: I have tested them in my Demeter amp and they are all working fine at time of writing, but as always with old valves be aware they can fail at any time. Please do bear that in mind before you buy.

As they have round cores I would say there's a bit mellower than the D'Ads. Watch this video, from 1:56 to 2:42 and then again from 6:49 to 7:35, which might help.

For sale, recently purchased items from various bass chatters in an effort to start a pedal board. Realised I was better off buying a multifx unit instead. Selling for what I paid for them.. Boss CEB-3 Chorus £38 Boss CS -3 Compressor/Sustainer boxed £40 TREX power supply including five connectors boxed £40 I have a pedal train Nano+ including storage bag/case £40 SOLD I hope the sellers don’t mind but I have used their photos for ease and there quality, as mine would be shockingly bad

Friend of mine had to stop playing due to arthritis, he changed his diet, lost a lot of weight and his arthritis eased right off, he's back playing again, I don't know the full ins and outs but it might be worth investigating? ...also, this is a stunning instrument!

Price drop - £145 includes UK postage Hi, I’m selling my Aguilar Octamizer version 2. Well looked after and very little use. £185 price includes UK Postage. Here’s a bit of info from Aguilar: AN ALL-ANALOG OCTAVE PEDAL THAT CREATES A WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL SOUNDS AN OCTAVE BELOW YOUR BASS SIGNAL. Modeled with old school and new school needs in mind, the Octamizer features independent volume controls for both the Clean and Octave sounds. This makes dialing in the exact amount of each a cinch. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities. The CLEAN TONE control uses a full spectrum tilt EQ, allowing for the boosting of treble while cutting bass or boosting of bass while cutting treble. This unique circuit allows you to create a clean sound that creates an octave doubling effect or to blend the sounds together for a great thick, snarky synth tone. *Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Proprietary detector circuit for superior tracking Continuously variable multipole low-pass filter for Octave sound Dual filter architecture Full spectrum tilt EQ for clean sound Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Cheers! Michael

Sterling Stingray Short Scale Bass Following surgery on my fretting hand I experimented with short scale basses for 18 months to get me back playing and gigging. This Sterling Stingray was one of my favourites having owned and played both EBMM and Sterling versions. This one was put together from a couple of new basses bought from Thomann last year and modded with better quality parts. I have owned six Sterling Stingray short scales since my problems started with my left hand and apart from one with a dodgy neck that I had to get repaired they have all been superb. This one has a beautiful flamed roast maple neck with birds eye maple board. Action is low and it’s strung with D’Addario 45-100 nickels. I had my luthier put new Schallers on it as the tuners are always a weak spot with these ‘budget’ instruments. It also has a Hipshot D tuner fitted. Of course I will supply the originals should you prefer. It has a black pickguard fitted as well as the original pearl white one. It comes with a Fender gigbag and a new unopened set of D’Addarios. It is in excellent condition other than a small mark on the back of the headstock where the D tuner scuffed the finish. It is well balanced and comfy to play over long gigs. It weighs 3.7kgs. The final picture shows it alongside a full size Stingray Special. Selling as I no longer need it. The mods and extras hopefully make this a good buy for someone. It is a lovely bass and I kept it in preference over two EBMM US made short scale Stingrays. Postage in the UK will be £20 if you can’t pick it up in person. No trades and it is a UK sale only sorry.

Possible trade with MM Stingray / Dark Ray / Fretless 4?
