  2. 2012 Gibson Grabber G3 70’s Tribute bass in Satin black. A really cool looking bass and sounds huge. I think if Batman played bass he would definitely be rocking this one. Only selling as I think I prefer playing short scale basses. Bit of an impulse buy really! Full scale, solid maple body and neck with a torrefied Maple fingerboard, Satin black finish, single volume and tone controls with the usual Grabber pickup switching. Bridge & middle, all three, Neck and middle. Reverse wound middle pickup so all positions are humbucking with no 60 cycle hum. Guitar is in excellent condition with just a couple of small marks on the neck by the 4th and 5th frets and a very minor ding on the cutaway (see pictures). Doesn’t seem to have had a lot of use since new and has been looked after well. Frets are all good with no wear. Comes with Gibson gig bag, paperwork, truss rod wrench and bridge cover (purchased by previous owner but never fitted). Ideally looking to sell but will consider trades for a Gibson Thunderbird/SG bass, Fender 50’s Road Worn or JMJ bass. Located on the Isle of Wight but happy to meet in Southampton, Portsmouth or Lymington. Thanks for looking!

  3. First of all, the price is low, because I want it to find a new home very fast and I still own 5 Leduc basses, but don't play this one very often, which is a shame... Leduc Masterpiece Headless 6 Fretless (HMP 628 SF), considered by many THE fretless bass with a Brazilian rosewood (cut in 1895!) fingerboard, the original Leduc EL-6 preamp with sweepable mids and active/passive switch coupled to 2 Bartolini Quad Coils 90P46C pickups! This very ergonomic headless bass is built to sound wonderfully as a fretless instrument, even simply in passive mode, think Jaco who would have needed 6 strings... Christophe LEDUC is now retired and the last retail price for a similar model with the newer Leduc/EBS EL-5 preamp and the Leduc/Benedetti single coil pickups with the phantom coil was ... €5400 Euros!!! Check the last available price list here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240806193813/https://www.leduc.fr/index.php/infos/108-tarifs/355-tarifs-basses-solid-body NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding DOM -TOM), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €1850 EUR (£1575 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just ask. In perfect working condition and in excellent condition, except a few tiny marks at the usual places. Here are the specifications : Body: French alder wings Neck: one piece Canadian hard rock maple (profile is a very flat and fast D, in fact an amazing neck) Fingerboard: Brazilian rosewood from 1895!!! Positions: 28 with front and side white dots at the correct position (fretless) Headstock: none as it's headless Pickups: 2 original Bartolini Quad Coils 90P46C Controls: volume, blend, stacked bass and treble, stacked mids and sweep frequency, active/passive switch Preamp: original Leduc EL-6, 18 Volts, 3 bands EQ with semi-parametric mids Tuning tailpiece/bridge: original Leduc aluminium with locking brass saddles and super smooth tuning Strings spacing at bridge: 18 mm Nut: ebony (54mm width) Strings spacing at nut: 9 mm Knobs: original Leduc aluminium Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: black with Schaller Straploks Truss rods: two, single action, 100% functional (these two truss rods allow a differential setting) Finish: light gloss natural (the bass was originally pearly white and has been turned to natural when Christophe LEDUC installed the EL-6 preamp) Country of origin: France Serial number: 7432-K Year: 26/10/1991 (first generation of the Masterpiece) Weight: 4.095 kg! Very light for a sixer! Action : from 1.5 mm under the C string to 2.0 mm under the B string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was perfect for me and it's already super low with a very straight neck) Will be delivered in a splendid brand new Gator ProGo series Ultimate semi-rigid gig bag (totally adapted to this headless bass). Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC himself as he is a friend of mine and accepted to do it. It has received 2 new batteries and is now fitted with a set of Thomastik JF 346 nickel flat wound strings (33 - 43 - 56 - 70 - 100 - 136), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is excellent with a few tiny marks. Here is the link to the 21 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1605pQR66DussJzciB9xVnENCjocMmB0y?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury, without mentioning a painful tendonitis on the right arm, I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!
  4. My last visit to PMT Cardiff was only a couple of weeks ago. I've noticed it declining for over a year. Only a few doors up from long established Gamlins that closed recentlyaftef a long period of selling off stock. I commented to my partner that PMT was on it's last legs and that it was a shame Gamlins couldn't have hung on for a few more months.
  5. I saw this a couple of days ago and very sad. He was a terrific musician and a very fine chap. R. I. P.
  6. Just to clarify, are you still open to offers? As you’ve stated in a pm to me that the price is firm.
  7. Oof - absolutely glorious! 😍 The black neck works a treat, as does the mirror-finish gloss on the body. Enjoy!
  8. Hi. Im selling my belived envelope filter. Comes with box and is in nearly mint condition. Never gigged and doesnt get much use hence why im selling. A very dope pedal especially when paired with other dope pedals 😎 can move on the price a little bit.

  9. Sorry for the wait! Here it is. Gigged it yesterday and it was fantastic.
  10. Fractory.com In the US, sendcutsend.
  11. Wise move methinks, not sure if a guitar one would accommodate a Mustang Bass otherwise would have done the same.
  12. Had this for about 8 years. Light use with a few scuffs. Sat on a board for a while and used as a volume pedal so no longer has the rubber feet. £30 inc. postage or collection from Telford. NOW £25 POSTED Tar! Alex
  13. I’ve re-listed this with a price increase due to fix the majority of the issues with it. So… A friend messaged as soon as I posted it last time saying he wanted to buy it. Long story short he messed me around for a couple of weeks and never ended up actually buying it. So, I decided to keep hold of it and get it cleaned up. I took it to my local tech who contact cleaned it and added a new power input jack so all of the crackling has gone. But, he said it needs a new foot switch and it sometimes doesn’t fully engage when pressed the first time. As I was only using it at home I didn’t bother spending more on the switch as he charged me £30 for the clean up and new input. But I’m just not using it so decided to re list it. It was £80 last time so was going to re list at £105 inc postage in order to to get a little back from the clean up spend. Here’s a video of it showing the intermittent footswitch. He said it’s a fairly simple fix, I just didn’t want to spend any more of it at that point. The original listing below… 100% on how to price this but… It’s in desperate need of a service and needs the power connection replacing as it’s a bit loose. Note - this was converted to be powered only years ago and no longer runs on batteries. They go anywhere between £160-£200 brand new with box etc in a good condition. Which, this is not. It was bought for me as a Christmas present in about 2003/4 (Imagine my parents face when they read ‘Russian big muff’ on my Xmas list 😂) Used solidly for about 8 years and has signs of such use including remnants of the gaffer tape I used to use to hold the position of the knobs. It’s sat in storage since about 2011. So, I’m going to put it up at £80 which is half of the cheapest perfect condition, working price I’ve seen. But, I’m not trying to rip anyone off so open to offers on this and wouldn’t write off trades for preamps, Chorus or compression pedals, or cases for short scales. +£5 postage to mainland UK https://youtube.com/shorts/jxTjulbQicg?si=duFNeNoyczDZiy5Q
  14. Very nice 👌
  15. They missed 'laziness' - it's written on every headstock. It's a Fender brand now, but the Squier company was created in the 1890s by one Victor Squier.
  16. Today
  17. They really impressed me! As you can tell from the video. Ive used them on a bunch of basses now, and I dont think I'll be going back!
  18. Fit and finish on these is very good. I have this in white and its a good bit of kit..can recommend.
  19. That is,currently, pretty much my favourite colour scheme. Especially good with yellowing lacquer and scratchplate.
  20. Worth it for the G string alignment alone 😜
  21. Great sounds on that clip Cal, those Newtone Shorties really work with the bass so well.
  22. I’ve just purchased a Hiscox case due to the company closing down. I wanted to make sure I got one of the last ones. Fortunately, I got one from a retailer who still had one in stock.
  23. I bought one of these a few weeks ago; fantastic bass. Wide but really comfortable neck, and a huge range of sounds. Absolutely love it, and recommend this. Best of luck with the sale.
  24. Here we have a very nice condition Status-Graphite "The Groove" 4-string bass, finished in 'Claret' red/burgundy. (Definitely looks more burgundy to the eye!) The bass is around 26 years old (1999 build) and presents well for its age. There are a few light scratches as you'd expect and one very small ding in the back, but nothing serious and all looking in good order for it's comparative age. Alder body, three-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, light weight tuners, 'TRIMAX' pickup (basically three single coils joined to make a humbucker with the inner coil used for hum cancelling). Two-band EQ with cut/boost on Treble/Bass and true passive/active switching via a micro-switch. The Bass has just been set up with a nice low action & no fret buzz, and has brand new D'Addario 45-105 strings added. Comes complete with generic Gig Bag and strap locks. Offered at a reasonable £695 (dealers are trying to hawk "The Groove" Basses at anything between £850 & £1500?!) Interesting trades considered. Worst I can say is no thanks Buyer to collect from either Derbyshire DE7 (Friday-Tuesday), or Gloucester/Stroud (Wednesday-Thursday), or can meet half way up to a reasonable distance. Payment via Cash or Direct Bank Transfer. No PAYPAL.

  25. Bit late to the concept of feedback - but bought a squier jazz a few months back. Bass was great, had an open chance to test and lawrie was very accommodating. Would recommend!
  26. Great that all was well. @Phil Starr and @Bill Fitzmaurice provide great advice, if you own more than one cab take as many as you can transport and just plug up the cabs as necessary. Having too much power is easy to remedy by using the amps volume control. Having insufficient power is more troublesome. DI into a good FOH is always a good solution.
