  1. If anyone wants photos can you PM me with an email as I'm on my phone and can't upload direct to basschat
  2. Lol I'd be happy to meet half way if you wanted the full rig..but you wouldnt get to try it
  3. To be honest I'd rather sell everything together. If there is firm interest and both cabs can be sold I''ll sell the head.
  4. I've decided to sell as I left the band two rehearsals after buying the head. Mint unmarked, only left the house twice 500 watt Ampeg PF500 head. Only used about 5 times after that as I stopped playing. 12 months old. £270 Collection from Hull.
  5. I custom ordered it from John Shuker in 2009 and finally received it in 2011...but thats another story. It was made to be similar in sound and neck shape to my customised Sadowsky Jazz, but I've found its a bit too similar and is not getting played, my Sadowsky has been gigged too much to ever part with it. [attachment=126034:Best2.jpg] [attachment=126031:_NIK0381.JPG] [attachment=126032:_NIK0383.JPG] [attachment=126033:_NIK0384.JPG] It's based on John's 'horn' shape but is a 33'' scale. Flame maple neck and maple cap body. The neck shape was made using my Sadowsky Jazz and a maple SX Jazz as a reference, and feels very nice and fast to play. The back of the neck has Wenge and Paduak accents and has a carbon twin truss rod. The EQ is a bit special - I managed to get hold of the schematic for a Fender Precision Special (early 80s) and John commisioned a copy of that circuit. 2 band boost and cut, I really like the EQ and have it in my Sadowsky. Switching between active and passive with the EQ set flat doesnt seem to colour the sound too much. The front pickup is a P pickup in a soapbar housing, so really the bass is a P/J. The active/passive is on a push pull, the 12th fret has an LED in the middle which glows red when the bass is in active mode. The top edge of the neck has white LEDs which are operated by a switch on the back of the bass. Weighs (I think) 8 3/4lbs. Comes with a custom moulded Shuker case. Only negative is the treble pot is a bit scratchy and could possibly do with a resolder. Car repairs force sale £900. I can meet up along the M1 once the weather gets better, or you are very welcome to come here and try the bass - I've got an Ampeg PF500 setup or bring your own amp. I'm just outside Hull.

  7. Protec Contego in immaculate condition bought new at Christmas £30 Mono M80 double. In great condition - bit of paint missing from both zips, otherwise mint. £80 Collection from Hull/ you sort a courier to collect Guitar hanger - all black, metal 3 hole disc which screws to wall. Foam to protect headstock. Unused as I bought too many. My Sadowsky and Shuker sit on these - secure and solid. £4 posted. Griffin iPhone/guitar lead £10 posted. All payments by PP gift please/ collect with cash.
  8. Steve bought my Aerodyne. Turned up when he said he would, nice bloke. Highly recommended.
  9. No trades thanks, I'm thinning out the collection as I'm not really playing anymore.
  10. I have an as new B3 with power supply. Immaculate condition - no box. Will be packaged well to avoid any damage. £110 posted
  11. Immaculate unused/unmarked could pass for brand new APX 500 in natural finish. Comes with quality hard case in great condition. Looking to trade for an acoustic bass - prefer 5 strings and would prefer a fretless. Will consider anything. Can possibly add cash Would really like a Dean, what have you got?

  13. In my (limited) experience of fivers, I feel that sometimes it's not about the neck size but more about the shape. I prefer Jazz necks in 4s, but can't get on with Ibanez SR 5 necks. Best playing 5 I've played was my old OLP Levin. Now why did I sell that
  14. Thanks for the replies. Suppose I better see just how heavy they feel on a strap...
  15. I took this in a partial trade a few weeks ago, but I can't really get on with it. It's immaculate - no scratches at all, in Gunmetal Blue which looks grey to me. Apparently quite rare. Comes with a Warwick gigbag. Will sell for £450. I'll send photos to anyone interested (only on iPhone at present)
  16. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1331252660' post='1570473'] Why not get someone like Warmoth to build you a chambered body? Ideally a chambered body, headless. I'm sure Status could knock you something up. Might cost a bit, but it could be the last bass you need. [/quote] Never thought about a chambered body, but it won't be a MM Stingray, and I think that's part of the charm...
