PRICE DROP TO £450 Hi all! Selling this beautiful Epiphone Jack Casady bass in Ebony Black. This really is an immaculate example of a cult classic and I can find no marks anywhere on it, with just a minor bit of swirling in the finish. Unsure of year (I bought it second hand) but it's in superb condition. I love this bass but have just bought the Alpine White version and don't need both! The range of tones is exceptional, I used it for some acoustic and jazz stuff on the 50 setting and it fit right in, with loads of compliments about the look obviously! The warm bloom of the note with the hollowbody is just lovely. Flick a switch to 500 and you have a big up-front modern sound which pairs very well with a high gain amp or pedal. With flats it's also a whole other level. As I said above - I like these basses so much, I bought a white one which I will cherish as much as I have this one. Set up and intonated perfectly tonight with brand new Roto Nickels and it's singing like a bird with a fairly standard action of 3mm at fret 17. I have removed the scratchplate as I love the look without it, but I will of course include this in the sale. Price is £450 and I can post to anywhere in the UK for an additional £20, and she will be very well packaged. No trades thanks! Please PM me with any questions Thanks for looking Danny

Howdy. So being realistic about market values. Let's make this £2,750 delivered and someone can love her like she deserves. Here we have a stunning instrument. My 1980 Ricky 4001 Fireglo. All original, except for a couple of the screws/washers for the machine heads which look like they've been replaced at some point previously and one I've replaced myself (see image) Near mint condition for a 43 year old bass that's been gigged plenty. Recently serviced by a Luthier, she had a couple of crackly pots and a dry solder joint, all sorted. Selling because a project has come to an end and she deserves to be played rather than hang on my wall looking pretty! Anybody looking to buy a Ricky knows how they sound and what they do, this one has the lot. Huge tone. The Clash with some OD on the bridge pup. McCartney on Come Together on the Neck with Tone=0 Mix the pickups, slightly roll off the tone knobs abs you have a beefy rock sound. She has a few knocks, I've tried to show as best I can in the pics, but all cosmetic. Hard Case is slightly tatty but closes fine, no key though. Some tarnishing on the tuner heads and a bit of rust on the input jack but all other metal parts are pristine. Serial number TK4667 dates her to November 1980. Neck is straight, action could be lowered but I had it set at a medium height for comfort. Everything works as it should, including the Rick-o-Sound stereo outputs if you fancy trying to be John Entwistle Overall she's in fantastic condition. I've priced a sensibly as I can based off BC and reverb pricing recently, there doesn't appear to be anything equivalent for sake in the UK under £3,500 (ignore the cheap one on Fleabay with a "Neck Repair")!! I'm not desperate to sell quickly, but very happy to negotiate if you have a fair offer in mind. Would rather not post, but can do that fully insured and packed up tight in her hard case. Happy to deliver/meet in Essex or nearby for diesel money, thanks for looking. Terry 07710467437

Rob Allen Lined Fretless Mouse 30 Bass complete with hard case. Excellent condition. If you are looking at this then you know what it is.

For Sale: Music Man Stingray 5H Special, black with roasted maple board + case, in immaculate condition For sale in the UK only Current online retail price for this bass in UK is £3199. You already know how good these sound! Lovely 5 string bass in pristine condition, no scratches or marks. Lovely slim neck on these with 44.4mm nut and only 62mm neck width at 12th fret. It's not been out of the house and hardly used as I'm struggling to move from 4 to 5 strings. Hence the great condition. Nice and light too for a 5'er at 8.8lbs. Fitted with black straplocks and comes with the two strap fittings as well (also black). Fitted with unused DR nickel Low Riders round-wound. Comes with its immaculate hard case and the candy and also a black SR2 Zero Mod (unused) to rest your thumb on. I'm not looking for trades on this one. You are welcome to come and look / play if you're near the Wycombe area. I will post this within the UK with ParcelForce Express 48 for £20 (uninsured) and I have a cardboard box for it to go in. Any questions, please ask away.

Reducing my studio and live set ups so this great DI can go to a new home, I use it with either my Stoneham YI200 head or with my Vanderkley Aurora to FOH and it is a very real sounding DI, great for the Jameson sound or for your guitarist to nail Steve Cropper but it has a magic to it that I can only say needs to be heard compared with other either inbuilt DI or externals. The Acme Audio Motown DI WB-3 brings the exact character of the original 1960’s Motown DI box. The Acme Audio Motown DI WB-3 is built to exacting standards with the same materials as the original unit to recreate the unmistakable tone of those classic records. Unlike most similar units, the Motown DI Wolf Box-3 doesn’t exhibit Low-frequency magnetic saturation which makes it an ideal audio interface / level converter as well as giving providing your sound artillery with a piece of audio legend. Although Al Sutton painstakingly designed the unit to exacting standards, few modern appointments have been introduced, such as an improved variable attenuator to accommodate high-level input and a custom made rugged steel case. Specifically made transformers in these units are built by the original manufacturer after 35 years to provide the exact same performance true to the original. The original Motown DI was a significant part of the Motown sound and were designed by Edward Wolfdrum in the late 50’s were immediately loved by Motown greats for its unique and colourful distortion that can be heard on classic records becoming their signature sound. There are a number of great reviews on line and they rarely appear "preloved" and the price will include postage.

I would like to sell my Fender Rumble 100 combo which looks as new. It’s around a year old and has never been out of my practice room. Most of you will know of the excellent reputation these amps have and it’s well deserved. This is an ideal amp for practice, rehearsal and small gigs and in this condition will not be commonplace. I can’t see a scratch or blemish anywhere on the unit. Comes with instruction booklet, a fitted padded cover and a power lead. I haven’t got a box to post but any prospective buyer is welcome to collect, tea and coffee will be provided. Alternatively as I travel with work I can meet up within a reasonable distance of Wigan. I am not looking at trades thanks just a straight sale please. Sensible offers considered.

For sale my 1982 Aria SB1000 fretless in natural finish with a stunning grain. Comes with non original hard case. Very sad to be seeing her go, but she is increasingly more of a collection piece, living in her case rather than a working instrument. She is in generally good condition but has the odd mark and a very small chip from below the final fret line on the G string which has no affect to the playability of the bass and everything works as it should. She really is a stunner. The fretless variant is rare, as are increasingly all Matsumoko Super Basses from this time period. This is the fourteenth SB bass I have owned since 1983 and to say I love them is an understatement, so big wrench in seeing the last one go but needs must. With a double octave 34" scale 5-ply maple / walnut neck, all-brass hardware and a Canadian Ash body she really packs a punch. I can take further photos if required, just give me a shout. Apologies, but UK sale only, happy to courier at cost to your good self. Cheers, Steve.
