The cull continues and this sadly must go - last in first out. It’s a Gordon Smith Gypsy II hand made in Manchester in 1982. It’s a lovely bass and weighs bang on 4.1kgs. Fixed neck, Schaller hardware and the amazing round pickups that can be adjusted for height and angle of pole pieces in each string! It sounds great, like a Precision but slightly beefier, the P Bass Gibson ought to have made! It’s all original in tobacco sunburst finish. It’s been used therefore there are dings on the body and neck but remains in good condition for the year. It’s a very rare bass - but I recognise it’s a brand more known for their guitars than basses. That said it is a wonderful instrument, high quality build from a great British maker. It sports new Roto nickel wounds and comes with gigbag. Sorry I don’t want any trades and it’s UK only. I can post but at buyer’s cost. Any questions please ask.

NOW SOLD 2012 Paul Reed Smith DGT (David Grissom Tremolo) Standard. This is a pretty rare PRS model, and although it wasn’t technically a limited edition, it was only made in 2012 making them quite hard to come by. I feel a little bit silly putting this up for sale just a month after buying it, but having recently acquired a maple 10-top version which a slightly better fit for my particular needs, it seems even sillier to have this much money tied up in the guitar that would always be second choice. This is, however, an incredible guitar. The best feature is undoubtedly the pickups - David Grissom and Paul Reed Smith spent a year and 40 prototypes refining them into probably the best humbucker pickups I’ve ever heard. The sweet spot for me is rolled back to 7, and they are very responsive to volume tweaks and pick attack. PRS has a fantastic partial-coil-split system that maintains body with single coil sounds, giving good approximations of Strat tones in the neck pickup and Tele tones in bridge and middle positions. The only mod I have had done to this guitar is swapping the push-pull coil split pot on the tone knob to a push-push pot. This means you just have to tap on the knob to toggle between split and humbucking modes, which helps in the heat of gig battle when the knobs can be a bit slippery. The original pot is still in the hardcase, and I am happy to have the mod reversed for a committed buyer. Woodwise, the body and neck are both mahogany, and the rosewood fingerboard houses moon inlays and the jumbo frets favoured by David Grissom (they are a crucial part of what makes this guitar so incredible to play). The finish PRS used on their 2012 models was their V12 formula, and this is the only DGT Standard in Vintage White finish in the UK. The Phase III locking tuners and PRS trem bridge keep truly excellent tuning stability - after the strings settled, I literally didn’t need to tune the guitar for over two weeks, through six gigs and two rehearsals. I have had Dunlop Dual Design straplocks put on, but the original ones are in the case and I can have them put back on if preferred. Condition is very good, with a few signs of use as pictured. There are two paint chips on the front edge of the lower bout, one small and one absolutely tiny, and there is also a small paint break dent in the same area. There is also a mark in the paint near the back edge, and some shallow swirl scratches on the back on and around the trem cavity and control cavity covers. There is also some use wear on the brushed nickel pickup covers. None of these are apparent from the front or from player position when the guitar is in use. From an audience and player point of view, the guitar appears pretty much as new. This is a serious purchase, and I am happy for a serious buyer to try the guitar out in person. If you are nearby, I am happy to bring it over for you to try through your own setup, or I have an excellent pair of Waza Air headphones that would allow this pretty much anywhere. £2,200 cash collected from SE or South London. This includes the original PRS hardcase, all hang tags, QC tag and case candy. Trades considered (with cash adjustment) for a PRS Hollowbody. Feel free to try me with other potential trades, but I am fussy. If it doesn’t sell, I will not be disappointed to keep it! #MyPRS #PRS #PRSguitar #PRSguitars #DGT #DavidGrissom

Hartke HA5500 Bass Head, an awesome loud head only used occasionally as a back up amp, in excellent condition and working order. I've had several of these over the years as standby amps but this is the cleanest one I've had and the largest one they do in the HA series. All LEDS working. Housed in an excellent condition Gator soft 2U rack case. Only selling as I have new gear incoming and now surplus to requirements. Collection/try out in Poole, Dorset or possible meet up/delivery. 500 Watts of power at 4 ohms Tube and solid state preamp sections Passive and active input sections Bass, treble, and contour controls 10-band graphic EQ Variable compression XLR direct out Effects loop Hartke blurb: Found on stages all over the world, the Hartke HA5500 bass amplifier is back in classic black. Yet, it retains all the same rock-solid performance and features as the original that have made it one of the most popular bass amplifiers of all time. The HA5500's unique circuitry ensures that every nuance of your bass performance is faithfully reproduced. Featuring two pre-amp input knobs for custom blending of tube and solid state tone and a ten-band graphic EQ, the HA5500 is ideal for the player who wants plenty of power and control. But we don't stop there. A dedicated preset button allows you to set a equalization curve and two fully adjustable contour knobs provide even more shaping of your distinctive sound. A built-in compressor adds real "punch" to your bass sound, and also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes.Rugged construction and professional features make the HA5500 totally road-worthy. Two independent inputs accommodate both passive and active bass guitars. LEDs show you the settings of the graphic equalizer in low-light environments as well as a two-color LED that continuously shows the status of the compression circuitry in response to your playing.Electronically balanced direct output provides routing signal to professional mixing consoles for both live performance and recording environments. A ground lift switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section.With all the features you need for complete tonal control, along with ample power and rugged design, the HA5500 will ensure complete bass euphoria no matter what kind of music you play.

These basses are sculptural works of art but what you can't see is just as impressive. Michael G threw the conventional acoustic-design book away and started from scratch. The patented Contour construction makes these basses stronger and more comfortable to wear and play. Combined with the thru-body stringing, it also makes them sonically more efficient and the sustain is incredible. As you would expect, the detailing on these is superb throughout. For example, the string ball-ends are anchored by a miniature solid-brass billet (the pic below is from the prototype of the deeper-bodied Standard bass), the inset Gillett logo is machined from solid metal, and the truss-rod cover is fastened by tiny machine screws and threaded metal inserts set into the headstock!
