Is there a raffle or is it swap shop or something else?

 

 

I’ve got a few bits and pieces I’ll bring for sale or swaps if anyone is interested. Got a bunch of Schaller tuners, some bridges, TC BQ250, and probably some other bits. Got a couple of bits for the raffle too.

I'm wondering if these could work on one of my Violin basses? Could I have the dimensions please?

Hi. Any particular measurements you need? As an approximation, the mat the pickups are on is a 10mm grid. Cheers

Cheers! Thats interesting- I searched a bit but didn’t find anything but they certainly look the same.

Pair of EMG 45DC pickups. Used with minor surface marks. There are some cables (not all original EMG), a tone pot, Jack socket and other bits as shown but no volume pots.

£ 60 plus postage 

Set of 4 unused Schaller BMF tuners in black.

A pair of vintage pickups. No idea what they are from. They are chrome finish. 

£20 plus postage

I have three scratch plates for a Musicman Stingray 5 string. These have been fitted to a USA Sub bass.

The tort and white ones have very little marking, the black one is a bit more used but still decent.

£20 plus postage for all three.

Our very own @Jabba_the_gut produced some very comparable instruments in the past. I own a Rob Allen MB2 and have played Jabba’s creations, so I can vouch for the similarity.

Thank you for that compliment! Very much appreciated.

Oooh - that’s nice…

That is a lovely looking bass!

Are these a no, then??

Have I missed something in the text? How much you asking? I'm not far away - give me a tempting £ .. ah I've looked again you asking £110... but £119 new 🙄

Cheers - can’t edit the £110 which is a pain.

Can you provide more details on the M5-2000 machine heads? I can't find them on the Schaller website so assume they're an older/vintage type. Can you let me know the weight per tuner in gms, the outside diameter of the bushing (ie. the required headstock hole size), and the gear ratio. Thanks

Hi, I’m not sure what the gear ratio is - I’ll try to find out. Each tuner weighs 61g and the bushing outside diameter is 12mm. Cheers

Don't worry guys, Mrs. Scrumpy has got the cake requirement covered - and then there's the crumble 🙂 

CRUMBLE!!!! YUM!!!

Ooh that is very nice..

Stop it - you’re only down the road!!!

Nice chap to deal with if anyone is looking at these!

Wish I had the space!!

I bought an Ashdown cab off Alex. Absolute credit to Basschat. Couldn’t have been more helpful - even dropped the cab off at a friend’s house near a gig he was playing, which saved me a couple of hours of driving.

Thanks again Alex

Stingray 4 would definitely be of interest.
