WHY I BOUGHT IT. I bought the Precision first, because I loved the simplistic look of two knobs & no scratchplate. I like matching headstock & 12" radius. I also liked the arm chamfer, bridge & binding. The big surprise was the pickups. I have never played a previous model Aerodyne with pickups I would consider good. The P has fabulous pickups. Powerful good range and a delicious thump. I hoped the Jazz would be as good as it has the same features. It is indeed a belter. WHY I'M SELLING IT. After a recent purchase, I now have Jazzes in American Deluxe, Elite & Ultra. And this one. SALE PRICE/TRADE PRICE £850 cash, £950 trade, No offers thanks, I'm taking a big hit on this, in a short time. A week after I bought it I was taken in for surgery, so had little chance to use it. It's as new. These were released late 2022, this was bought new April 2023 COURIER I will box it up safely & await a courier, buyer to organise & pay for (including insurance).

* Edit: withdrawing this for now to see if, with time, my injured left hand grows more comfortable with long scale * Absolutely mint condition, never-left-home long scale Serek Lincoln. Ebony board, dual Serek single pickups, hot rod red nitro finish, unusual J width neck (1.5"). Ordered from Serek straight before I knackered my left hand in horse riding accident in March which has left me only comfortable with short scale. Physio on my hand - as I had reinforced at hospital today - is going to take at least a year and I could use the money for other stuff in my life, rather than have it sat unused in gigbag. Comes with superb Serek padded gig bag and case candy. My £2,800 price tag loses me a bunch of money on the >£3k I paid, so no offers and collected from SW London. Alternatively, postage on top at cost and as agreed. PS, I will probably end up pulling this ad when I am less p*ssed off about my hand but for now its for sale Trade options added below: I already have a fabulous Serek short scale Midwestern 1 but would consider a second Serek MW1 or 2 or a Wilcock Mullarkey or Bisonic Serek ad with specs (NB, it weighs ~8.5 pounds, not the 7.5 pounds stated): https://www.serekbasses.com/product/serek-lincoln-34-scale-1-5-nut-serek-singles-hot-rod-red/

It's 35" scale, 19mm spacing at the bridge, with a phenolic fingerboard, fitted with Bartolini pickups, and a Mike Pope Flexcore 4-band preamp. Despite the longer scale length, the bass weighs in at only 3.6kg, feels and is very compact, and fits in a 6-string guitar case. I've only gigged it a handful of times, and as such is in pristine condition, apart from one small scratch on the back of the body that I've tried to show in the photographs. Also below is a link to a short YouTube video I made when I first got it. (Please note that despite what I said in the video, the body is moulded around a wooden core, so there is some wood in it! :-D) With these specs and the dreaded Br*x*t import duties you wouldn't get much change out of £3.5k if you ordered one now. Comes with the hard case pictured. Collection is preferred (near Woking in Surrey, junction 10 of the M25) but I'm happy to ship at the buyer's cost. NOW SOLD.

Hi there, Due to the need to raise funds to cover the cost of a recently acquired camera (Hasselblad, film geeks) I am reluctantly selling this amazing amp. In truth I didn't really need it in the first place as when we play gigs (which we rarely do these days) there is the house backline, and I have access to this same head in our rehearsal space. I just wanted the same sound at home, but as you can imagine, 500w is a bit of overkill for the spare bedroom... Barely used, in original packaging, with footswitch, manual, original cables etc. Spiel and specs from the Orange website are here: For years, bassists have been combining guitar and bass amps to remarkable effect, adding harmonics and layers of overdrive from a guitar amp to their core bass tone in pursuit of the ultimate live sound. This “bi-amp” trend got us thinking: why drag two amps to the show when you could take just one? The result is the OB1 series of Class A/B rack mountable bass heads, which take care of this and much more besides. The key to the OB1’s unique sound is our footswitchable blend circuit, which adds a veneer of controllable gain and increased harmonic content to the upper registers of the input signal. The lower frequencies and clean signal are left alone, staying just as warm and clear as they would in a “bi-amped” setup. Depending on where the Gain and Blend controls are set, the possibilities are limitless. Toggle the Blend control to achieve anything from a transparent clean boost to all-out filthy grind and everywhere in between. OB1-500 shares the same layout and 2U rack dimensions as the less powerful OB1-300, coupled to a full-fat 500-Watt output section to move some serious air. KEY FEATURES “BI-AMP”-INSPIRED DESIGN The OB1 splits the input instrument signal into two separate paths. One amplifies the clean signal, with all the clarity you would expect from Orange. The other adds stages of gain to the upper harmonics only, controllable via the amp’s Gain knob. These two elements are combined using the amplifier’s Blend control which adjusts the balance between clean and dirty. The Blend control can then be remotely engaged or defeated using the optional footswitch. The gain and blend range allows for almost any tone, from a subtle level boost that cuts through the mix to added girth and presence at moderate settings that fattens up chorus passages, and fully saturated savagery at the extremes. However you dial it in, the OB1 always maintains critical low-end definition, right the way up to the most offensive settings. ACTIVE EQ The OB1’s highly responsive active three-band EQ has been meticulously voiced for maximum effect and minimal fuss. The EQ section is located after the gain and blend in the circuit, allowing full tonal control over the entire range of sounds. The Bass and Middle controls feature ±15 dB of boost or cut, while there is a range of ±20 dB on the Treble control. ALL-ANALOGUE SIGNAL PATH The OB1 series puts Class A/B power back on the map. All circuitry is completely analogue, ensuring these amps sound expressive and musical, even at ridiculous gain levels. RACK-MOUNT FRIENDLY The OB1 Series are our first rack-mountable amps, suitable for 19-inch cases. Enclosed in a rugged powder-coated steel chassis, the fascia is finished in Orange’s classic “pics-only” styling. FEATURES: RACK-MOUNTABLE (2U) “BI-AMP”-INSPIRED BASS HEAD WITH FOOTSWITCHABLE GAIN & BLEND CONTROLS, ACTIVE 3-BAND EQ, BALANCED DI & LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS FRONT PANEL (RIGHT TO LEFT): INSTRUMENT INPUT WITH ACTIVE/PASSIVE SWITCH, GAIN, BLEND, BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE, VOLUME, FOOTSWITCH INPUT, MAINS SWITCH REAR PANEL (RIGHT TO LEFT): SPEAKER OUTPUTS (SPEAKON), 1/4″ LINE OUTPUT, BALANCED OUTPUT WITH GROUND LIFT SWITCH SPEAKER OUTPUT OPTIONS: MINIMUM 4 OHM: 1 X 8 OHM, 2 X 8 OHM, 1 X 4 OHM OUTPUT POWER: 500 WATTS, CLASS A/B FINISH OPTIONS: WHITE POWDER-COATED STEEL CHASSIS (2U 19″ RACK MOUNTABLE) UNBOXED DIMENSIONS (W X H X D): 48.2 × 26.5 X 10CM (18.97 X 10.43 X 3.93″) UNBOXED WEIGHT: 10.1KG (22.26LB) Collectable from Leeds, or I can meet around Leeds or between here and Cheshire (I am there once a week), or I can post as it's got all the original packaging and will be very secure.

TRADED

I've decided that it's time to sell my bass. I bought this beauty new in 1989 and have played nothing else since then. It's a beautiful bass to look at, and more importantly, to play. Sadly, I no longer play, and I would rather someone took advantage of playing such a wonderful instrument, rather than it sit in a cupboard. It's the 1989 Limited Edition Streamer, with a birds eye maple top, wenge and bubinga neck (if my memory is correct), and an ebony fingerboard. It has a single Bartolini soap bar pick up. I've looked after her really well. There's one small ding on the upper neck (see pic). It comes with the original gig bag (strap needs stitching back on), strap locks and original tin of wax. I'm looking for £1700 and would prefer it picked up. If you do want it couriered, it will be an extra cost to the buyer. I live in Erith (DA8) but can take it to work (Mile End E3) if that's easier.

On hold: Bought a Classic Vibe jazz off here a few days ago with a plan to use the lovely colorued Daphne Blue body with my USA maple Fender neck. Fitted right away and works like the dream I had in mind - so the original neck is now up for grabs. Classic Vibe jazz neck, we all know how good these are! This one is pretty much pristine with a nice lightly sanded neck to remove the sticky gloss, feels great! Neck plate also included.

I got this a few years back with the idea that my other half might take up the bass - she didn't. Anyway, I fell in love with the beautiful rubbery sound of a short scale with flats. I've done plenty of jazz jam sessions and the odd jazz gig with this and it's perfect for that. With the tone open, you get McCartney type tones and rolled off sounds almost upright like. The pickup is fantastic. I'm selling as I have too many basses and I'm decluttering my life right now. Condition wise, it's used not abused. It's nearly 20 years old and it's been played so it's on the good side of what you might expect. There's a small crack in the lacquer at the back of the headstock and a tiny crack in the paint at the neck joint. A couple of dings in the top of the headstock and some blemishes in the finish. It's got Thomastik flats on it which I put on about 6-7 years ago and they have remained since. I'd prefer local pickup in Brighton but I'll post at buyers expense. Thanks for looking.
